i eat mostly fruot and vegetables...only meat sometimes is chicken ..rare..it just grosses me out.. still fat thanks to meds..

Well, for the past month I have been on a complete binge of eating absolutely anything that was remotely sweet (3/4 of a cheesecake on the weekend.........) Then I just thought stuff it, I've got to change.

I was on a really good eating plan but that changed this Winter (from July here in Aus) and I was comfort eating.

But hey Spring has now sprung and I want to get back into my old clothes.

So for me at the moment it's all fresh foods- fruit salads, salads, fresh fish etc. And drinking loads of water too.

I'm really bad about my diet. What I watch is the food going in.... lol.

I treat to eat healthy, and I do enjoy eating fruit and vegetables, but sometimes it's so much easier to eat junk food.

I have to regulate my diet more now due to meds weight gain and starting the gym next week

My diet sucks and I just found out I have clogged arteries

Yea these meds we are on seems to stop ya up real good I have been eating fiber one ceral in the morning it seems to help that issue if anyone else has that problem.

I am not on a restricted diet... and will eat just about anything.... my favs are aged cheeses!!, fresh fruit!!, toasted bagels w/ cream cheese, baked potatoes w/ butter and sour cream, and fresh, fresh crackers... etc

...and yes, I eat meat. I was anemic once, that was enough for me... I love a rare steak

The weight I have recently gained... I am on five meds, and two which are prn... is prob from my recent drinking spree... no people, beer is not a staple of my diet!!

As for shopping, there is a lot to be said for convenience... so, I usually shop at the market down the street. Walmart is great tho for items like my decaf coffee and frozen foods.

i eat very sporadically and when i do eat it's junk food. i am horrible about my diet, but planning on going on a diet because of the weight gain from medication. I just hope the diet helps.

I try to keep a good diet and I feel it is incredibly important for us bipolar people.

I have read several expert opinions regarding mental health and diet.

I try to wake up and eat a decent amount of fruit, a couple hours later maybe a bowl of hearty soup or chili - homemade with lots of good health ingredients (kidney beans, any beans really, veges, flax seed, etc) Then often for dinner I will splurge and eat out or have a couple frozen burritos or a pizza.

My diet is really not stable, but I try to stick to what I listed.

It is also good for you to eat much smaller portions and eat more often. I tend to snack quite a bit and it is proven to improve your metabolism to eat less and more often. Also I think it is just more natural for our bodies being that we are naturally hunter gatherers.

One last tip - I do not eat anything except maybe an icecream snack for a good 3 or usually 4 hours before I go to bed. I am almost positive that is why I've lost a decent amount of weight and kept it off. (I have also heard others tell me this works)

I eat whatever I can find. I don't care if it's chesse, fruit, or pop tarts. Just whatever is bought and brought home. My mine vice is caffeine, so I tend to drink a lot of Coke and/or Pepsi.

I just found out I have celiac disease so I am now going gluten free. No wheat of any sort. Interesting change of lifestyle. Was afraid I'd lose my pizza and pasta. Didn't though it is different.

Any other celiacs out there?

After some serious med weight gain I relaised I had turned from Svelt to round.

So Ive stopped the Coca Cola which I adore and have started drinking more water and juices.

Ive also tried to eat more salads and wraps as oppsed to macdonalds although today I had half a buger and a slice of shortbread. oops

I also had a bowl of oats (ready brek) which was nommy so I might start having that more often

what is wally world?

I cant afford better grocers so I hit qfc and safeway. I eat fruits and steamed veggies salmon and chicken and stouffers and water and protein drinks (powder)

Wally world = wal-mart.

I've never heard of Celiac Hope. Sounds a little annoying - I like bread but it's good that there are alternatives for you =D

Lmao half a buger and shortbread, that is probably the funniest thing I've heard in quite some time.

When I hit the snooze button, I get to work on time by making a second sandwich for breakfast. So, many mornings I have the same thing for both meals. I can't eat cereal. The refined flour and sugar screws up my energy levels. I try to take the dogs for at least a fifteen minute walk in the morning. Lunch is a sandwhich, yoghurt, and fruit. My snacks are granola and fruit.

I'm working long days right now. So, another walk for the dogs in the evening, then a quick and easy meal, perhaps egg or chicken tacos or a burger, an ear of corn, veggies, etc. I've burned out on lettuce, so no salads rigth now.
