Reflections :P

Hi all ^^

Today, I'm just gonna be reflect on the process and learning points from this PT.

I learnt a lot from this PT. Before I started it, I thought that I was eating quite healthily. It was probably due to the fact that I ate sushi and a couple of fruits every weekend. But after starting it, I realised that there were lots of unhealthy stuff that I was eating during the weekdays, and I was eating too little healthy food.

For example, although I ate at least two slices of fruits during the weekends, I was eating lots of fried and unhealthy stuff with lots of fats in them during the weekdays. Not only that, during the weekends, sometimes, I would eat the unhealthy stuff too. And I mostly ate meat with very few vegetables.

This made me change my attitude towards my diet. All along, I had thought that it had been alright. But now, I realised that maybe it was a change of diet. Perhaps I could start off by trying to eat more vegetables. It was thanks to this PT that I learnt about my unhealthy diet, as a result, I realise that I have taken away a lot from here.

Not only was knowing what my diet was helpful, but also the nutrients and fats of my diet. I realised how much fats I was taking (as mentioned above as well) and how unhealthy it was. Although I did take away some nutrients (e.g. carbohydrates), but I had very little dietary fibre, inspiring me to change my diet to one with more vegetables. However, one disadvantage I found in the three tools I used above was that I was unable to find out some of the food in my 3 day diet, prompting the random choosing of dishes. I especially regret being unable to find out the information of the nutrients and fats in my fruits. However, perhaps if I had searched further in the other tools, I might have been able to find out the information I wanted.

In this PT, I also got the chance to suggest a one-dish meal that is healthy. I believe that this "Low Fat Vegetable Lasagna" is healthier than the normal Lasagna, as all the nutrients and fats are significally reduced, except for the dietary fibre, which increases (due to the lasagna being made of vegetables). Despite having been reduced, the nutrients and fats are still sufficient and can be considered as the amount of nutrients and fats required for a proper meal. Thus the healthiness of the meal.

I had fun in the PT too! Trying out the different tools, getting to blog my diet...it was exciting. I hope that in the future I can do this PT again!
