I was really looking forward to this day. We were having our first weekly meeting and it was on nutrition. I worked out everyday at Gold's and felt halfway decent about that, but I had no idea what to eat. We were given a food diary to keep daily and I realized that I was barely eating 900 calories a day. It was working because I had lost 5lbs when I weighed at THS. However, I also knew that this was not the way to go because I was starving.
Miranda Hebert our Dietition (Miranda has 2 months to go in her internship to be a RD - GO MIRANDA) gave us tons of information on THIS IS NOT A DIET but a life change. Miranda shared with us what fat, carbs, fiber, protein do for us and explained the need for each. She also provided us with the new food pyramid which no longer shows foods stacked on top of each other but beside each other because there is not one more important that the other.
For those of you wondering if we are being placed on strict diets, the answer is NO! We are being taught how to eat for our individual needs. I am so excited about meeting with Miranda on Saturday and really getting started properly with my eating. I have to admit I'm a bit nervous though. I am probably the pickiest eater in the world.
