I'll start with what I like to eat. I get aesthetic pleasure when I see food and physical pleasure when I eat it. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't care about this thing. Like many people, I was not taught good eating habits as a child. I have eaten everything, a lot, and often sweet, flour, fried. I hadn't thought about it until a certain age.

The turning point occurred when I was 21 on one winter, snowy day when I did not skate well and broke my leg. The doctor put a cast on me for a month and a half. I was lying, sitting, wobbling around the apartment, while constantly chewing something. My energy consumption was minimal, and I ate with the same appetite. When I got up entirely on my feet, I gained 8 kg! I will not say that I was embarrassed, just cheeks appeared, forms. There was no complex, but thoughts about losing weight occasionally arose.
⠀
About six months after my recovery, I took the chance. I started by reducing the portions, stopped eating overnight, replaced the bread with crispbread. Then I started counting calories, doing sports. I lost weight, but that's not the main thing I got interested in, I studied issues related to nutrition, read articles by nutritionists. With the help of trial and error, I came to a healthy diet.
⠀
So, I'm not eating:
Meat. Refused a year and a half ago and still do not eat, just in autumn tried eating turkey and chicken, but I can not.
Sugar. I try not to eat as well as products from wheat flour and sweets. Sometimes it happens, but often I don't eat it. Now you can find a useful alternative to any junk sweets.
Milk or dairy products. I prefer curd and cheese. I love cheesecakes, and I can't refuse them.
⠀
What I'm eating:
Cereals. I like quinoa, oatmeal, buckwheat, spelt.
All kinds of vegetables and greens.
Fruit.
I love seafood, especially shrimp — also mussels, salmon, trout, caviar.
Durum wheat pasta. I often buy them from the spelt.
Wholemeal bread.
From the sweet, I eat honey and yummy from health food stores: protein cookies, candy from nuts and dried fruits, pastel.
