About Nutrition - Wikipedia
The "Nutrition Facts" table indicates the amounts of nutrients that experts recommend to limit or consume in adequate amounts.
Nutrition is the process of breaking down food and substances taken in by the mouth to use for energy in the body or it is the process of obtaining and consuming food. By practicing a healthy diet, many of the known health issues can be avoided.
The diet of an organism is what it eats, which is largely determined by the perceived palatability of foods. Dietitians are health professionals who specialize in human nutrition, meal planning, economics, and preparation. They are trained to provide safe, evidence-based dietary advice and management to individuals (in health and disease), as well as to institutions. Clinical nutritionists are health professionals who focus more specifically on the role of nutrition in chronic disease, including possible prevention or remediation by addressing nutritional deficiencies before resorting to drugs. While government regulation of the use of this professional title is less universal than for "dietician", the field is supported by many high-level academic programs, up to and including the Doctoral level, and has its own voluntary certification board, professional associations, and peer-reviewed journals, e.g. the American Society for Nutrition, Nutrition Society of India, Food Scientists and Nutritionists Association India, Indian Dietetic Association and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
A poor diet may have an injurious impact on health, causing deficiency diseases such as scurvy and kwashiorkor; health-threatening conditions like obesity and metabolic syndrome; and such common chronic systemic diseases ascardiovascular disease,diabetes,and osteoporosis.

About this Blog
Last night I posted a link to this Blog on my Facebook page, asking friends to follow my progress to Nutritional Health... It wasn't long until I received a inbox from a lady asking me: "why do you have to advertise it, why don't you just do it?"
I have a Nutritionist that is helping me, and this plan is worked out according to my needs.
I guess people start Blogs for all kinds of reasons, my reason being to build up a support system and to keep track of my Nutritional intake in a modern way and also to motivate those who struggle with their Health as I do, and just maybe this Blog can help me to stick to my plan to a healthier lifestyle.
Those people who know me, can tell that I've been struggling with my weight going up and down for quite a while now and this is affecting my life mentally and physically.
I have tried every gimmick, every fad diet you can think of and although I do loose some weight, I end up gaining it back and each time with a little bit extra fat on the wings... This quick fix diets doesn't give me The Nutrition I need to gain back my energy levels and get back on track with my life.
This is not just about loosing weight...
I am suffering from tiredness, lack of interest in daily tasks, mood swings... The list goes on an on... I am so depressed and unhappy with the way I lead my life and if I don't start to live a healthier lifestyle, I'm going to fall into a huge obese trap that will never let me go!!!
I am 33, I have a daughter who is turning 9 this year and she also suffers from tiredness and mood swings... I know that I'm not the perfect roll model when it comes to Nutrition and that is why I need to change my lifestyle... A mom can't teach her children to be healthy if she binge on processed food and starch all the time.
I'm changing that today!!!
I am not a Doctor, Nutritionist or Dietitian. This Blog is just a Diary of my progress and I'm not advising anyone to follow it.
I won't spend time telling stories about my life, I will just post my daily intake and keep you up to date with my progress...
Everyone is welcome to comment or give some advice and support along the way!!!
Nutritional Blog Diary
This Blog is about my Road to Nutritional Health...
My main aim for the following three weeks is to:
2. Increase water intake to 1.5 - 2lt daily.
3. Limit processed foods (i.e. cereals / crumbed foods / packaged meals.
4. Avoid carbs at night (i.e. rice / potato / pasta)
5. Exercise 20min per day, 3 days a week.
6. Replace Ciders with Whisky and water (occasionally alternate with wine)
