Diet and Analysis 1
Since the beginning of this assignment, I had three goals in mind. The first goal was to cut down on pork. This is something that I knew would be extremely difficult for me but it was something that needed to be done. The first week was easy, I consumed a lot of chicken and ate some salmon one day. Salmon is very expensive unlike pork, so I cannot eat salmon regularly but I ate it nevertheless and it was a good alternative for pork for the time being. I did well the first week but the next week I started having problems. I ordered a pepperoni pizza from papa johns, and by the time I realized it I remembered pepperoni had pork in it something I should have known. It was so good, I ate it but then I got the feeling I always do whenever I eat pork. This feeling is hard to describe but it makes me feel terrible I knew then that I had to stop for my own good. From then on until about the 4th week I didn't eat any pork. The fourth week I and my girlfriend went out to eat and I couldn't help but get a bbq sandwich. Something changed when I ate it, I didn't feel a terrible feeling anymore and I realized that it's ok to eat pork just not too much pork.

This is something that I knew was going to be difficult but I'm not a quitter and I knew I was going to stick with it. The tricky thing about loosing weight for me is that my weight always fluctuates. When I started on week one I weighed 179 and I stuck with my diet for the first week and I was down to 177. The second week I stayed at 177 but I gained a half pound. It's hard to pinpoint what gave me that half pound but, since I strayed away from my diet in the week I think that was the reason. Between the third and fourth weeks, I lost one pound then gained another. I have been noticing a trend with my weight, it seems that whenever I stray away from my diet the weight starts to add

It is almost a rule that if you intend to lose a few pounds, then at some point you will have to make peace with exercising. It is, therefore, an important must in the 3 week diet strategy.

Nutritional Science 203 Assignment 2 1. Choose a micronutrient or a macro-mineral that you would like to learn more about and why (2 points).

Over the years in America food and how it is consumed has changed, and we seem to actually be eating more unhealthy despite advances in modern science and technology.
