Today is February 11, 2015 and it is what I call DAY 0. It is DAY 0 because not until almost 5pm did I decide to go on this adventure but I did think it would be important to look at the foods I ate today and see what my diet was looking like.
Please be nice to me, as I know my diet wasn't healthy, but as I pulled out the foods that I ate today and looked at the sugar content it almost gave me a heart attack by how unhealthy I am eating.
Breakfast Calories Sugars GI
Cinnamon Toast Crunch 130 9g probably above 70
Milk 2% 130 12g 41
Corn Dog 230 8g
Simply Orange Juice 110 23g 50
tomato ketchup 20 4g
ripe banana 105 14g 62
Kempswich-ice cream 320 23g
Snack size Skittles 61 11g
Total for now: Calories=1106
Sugar= 67g (not including banana or orange juice= no added sugar)
Sugar Goal= 25g
Overall I can say that I definitely need to look at labels more closely and stop eating processed foods and treats. I will also be removing high sugar juices from my diet. Although they seem healthy, I don't think that such a high concentration of sugar from a fruit juice without the fiber benefits of eating the actual fruit is a healthy decision. So I will shy away from juices and opt for fresh or frozen fruit instead.
Tonight we eat a meal someone else prepared, so I wont know all the nutritional information. But I think that making healthier choices as often as I can is what is really going to make a difference.
