“Best Food Forward”
We may have motivated ourselves to take a break from the library and get our bodies moving but getting fit and reaching our long-term goals involves more than just physical exercise.

No Meat May. Top Story - May 2019.
Hey everyone! Thanks for following me on this journey. My hope for this blog is to share and educate not only myself, but others. I enjoy meat, but I also know a lot of it is not good for me. I try to have a least one dinner a week meat free. I know I could do a lot better. When this challenge came up, I decided, "why not?" I like pushing myself to see what I am capable of. With that being said, this challenge does scary me a little. Will I really be able to do this? Will I feel hungry all the time? Will it cause me to snack more and gain weight? How hard is this really going to be?

How to Stop Craving Sugar After Your Meals and Feed Both Your Tummy and Mind
Food for me is a concept, a BIG matter, a whole topic, an entire story to tell. Food for me has been for ages a 24/7 thought, and believe me, although I am a translator (or at least I am going to be once I finish my Master's at UCL on September), I feel much more of a nutritionist, dietitian, or even a chef rather than a translator! I am being sarcastic, of course! Or not? What I want to say is that I have thought a LOT about food, I have researched a LOT, I have cooked a lot and last but not least and as above mentioned, I have unfortunately also suffered a lot. But let's focus on a positive topic today and once I get to know you more I will share with you my story as well. For today, let's stick to this: How to stop craving sugar after your meals, how to feel better with your actual meals, and how to avoid feeling guilty with food.

Understanding Nutrition
Understanding nutrition terms and what food compounds are in your body is the most basic information we must know in order to make educated choices. Nutrition is really about eating a healthy and balanced diet. Having the right combination of nutrients will allow your body the ability to function properly. Your metabolism, growth, and the repair of all your body’s cells are based on the components you put in your body through what you eat and dink. The stages of nutrition are ingestion, digestion, absorption, transportation, assimilation, synthesis, and excretion.
