“At some point in my life, my taste habits completely changed. Breakfast, for example, was oatmeal with nothing on water – salt, sugar and oil. I’m so used to it. Moscow and St. I want such porridge for breakfast in the morning on trains between St. Petersburg. The guides nodded to me, and they still bring me oatmeal with salt, sugar, and butter. They can’t believe they can eat any other way.
I am used to eating simple food. If I eat porridge, I want to feel its taste. I do not like sauces, jams, mayonnaise – anything that spoils the taste of the product. This eating habit, St. It has been going on since the time when the famous herbalist of St. Petersburg put me on my feet. Then I really stopped walking, the doctors insisted on emergency surgery, but for six months, thanks to herbs, I was able to walk and lose 30 kilos, performing tough performances.
“Recently, I realized that as I got older, I prefer monoeda more and more without complex “pirouettes”, various sauces and dressings. All the simplest, most reasonable and eternal – buckwheat, chicken breast, eggs, vegetables. My diet today includes salad, flax bread, butter and tuna paste. I also stopped liking plates and increasingly placed food directly on a wooden board. I always start the day with a glass of warm water with lemon. After an hour and a half of training, I move on to dinner”
“When I come to Sochi with my family, who has two meals a day, we always have breakfast together, and then lunch and dinner around 16-17. Sometimes we can drink tea or eat fruit a little later. I love their routine: I don’t like having to snack and think about food often.
With age, I began to carefully monitor the composition of food. For example, an extensive list of E and various preservatives for the absence of monosodium glutamate. Not all e’s are harmful but most are far from helpful, so I try to stay away from them. What remains unchanged is my fondness for sweets, I cannot refuse the sweet seasonal fruits of the summer. I like sweet-sweet dates and grapes, which are the highest-calorie fruits.
“I’m sure women’s taste habits change throughout life – at least as a reason why we sometimes give birth. A vicious circle immediately begins here: hormones, excess weight, breastfeeding, inability to find time for everything after the birth of children. So there are many “flavor parts” of my life: pregnancy, nutrition, returning to the profession, staying fit.
During pregnancy, I couldn’t control my diet – I could drink two quarts of sugary lemonade overnight and eat a super-large Snickers in the morning before work and study in the theater and the same Mars. Nutrition is a completely different story. After the birth of the children, I felt hyper-realized (this is a temporary illusion, by the way), so I didn’t need to fill any mental gaps. She adhered to a strict menu to have the strength and resources to feed her pups.
After her second birth, she decided to return to the profession and started physical exercises at home. I was at the “I have time to throw everything – I have time to eat everything” level for almost two years. Nothing helped me, the old nutrition and training system ceased to be interesting to me, I ate a lot and started everything from scratch.
I am now ready to come to the absolutely correct conclusion that there is a direct link between lifestyle, age, inner world, occupation, energy, physical behavior and eating behavior. Sometimes food-physical habits can provide a source of energy to achieve goals in a completely different field and vice versa.
“I was looking for my diet for a long time. For years nothing worked, I didn’t like how I looked, how I felt. But as I got older I realized that it’s all about balance. This is particularly a combination of strength training and cardio, nutrition and sleep patterns. No one else can make my menu, and only I can determine my eating habits – and they are no less important than the balance of KBJU.
If I want to eat hamburgers or cakes at a cafe with my friends, I cook everything in a double boiler whenever possible so as not to burden myself again and to save calories. In an instant I stopped jumping away, I stopped scolding myself. Whenever I encounter a feeling of guilt or another inner feeling of negativity/protest, I ask myself: Does this thought definitely get me to the goal?
