Wednesday, Jul 30 2014 - It's All About Experimenting.
View OLDARMYMED's food & exercise for this day
As a scientist, experimenting is one of the things I do regularly. Chemistry is all about finding the right mixture of ingredients to end up with something that achieves a beneficial result without blowing yourself up in the process. This has a lot of parallels with planning my daily intake of food (I hate the word "diet"
. I am learning to experiment with things that I had previously not considered eating just to make my daily calorie target without doing irreparable damage to my health. It is a learning experience and, although I am approaching it from a science background, I find it to be more of an art than it is a science.

I don't like using the "diet" word either. I typically talk about being "on plan" - which is another way of saying that I am mindful eating. Right now my "plan" has a weight loss target but someday it will have a maintenance target. When I am off plan then I am not mindful eating and all hell breaks lose!

I absolutely agree...everything related to food has changed for me.
That's a great attitude and will keep it interesting too!
