hey everybody! let's get things going again, shall we?

[panda]

Life has been crazy for me for the past 3 months, and I obviously haven't been paying attention to this comm. But I'm realizing more and more that if I want to be healthy and successful in school, a good diet is a necessary foundation. I'm on spring break right now, so I'm using the extra time to give my diet a little jump start. Doing daily posts to this comm again will help, I think.

I wanted to get us started back up again in a fun way, so how about in the comments people recommend something tasty they've eaten recently? Give a recipe, if you want, or just wax poetic about some really delicious food ;)

Also thank you very much to those of you who did check in posts over the past couple months. I really appreciate it ♥

As always, please warn for triggers and be respectful of your fellow community members!

You can ask them to leave the rice out, but then your "burrito" bowl is going to be some meat, beans, salsa and cheese ... which isn't really a meal at all.
You don't know some college kids, the ones who have just gotten out of a strictly-regimented life.

You don't get the same "sugar high" that you get from something like a high-refined sugar food like a cookie or a Pepsi, but you also don't get a "crash" either.
So that's why it feels better to eat THOSE kinds of foods... *srsly learning!*

Thanks for both links! The first looks like stuff I've had to read for uni. Second easier.

I don't think any of my relatives are diabetic...

Aha, true! It's been so long I forgot what I sometimes ate like when I was 19 XD

Yep! It really does make a difference. I'm glad it's informative.

Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease where the pancreas doesn't work right. Type 2 diabetes isn't good either. It's good if none of your relatives have either kind.
