Metabolism
Metabolism comes from the greek word for "Change"
Metabolism is a chemical process in which the energy found in the foods we eat are tranformed or converted into energy that the body can use to maintain structure, reproduce, grow and respond to outside stimuli.
The metabolism process is divided into two sections called Catabolim and Anabolism.
Catabolism is the process in which food is broken down into the energy, catabolism then releases the energy to the body, this is where anabolism takes place, Anabolism consumes th energy in order to build molecules in the form of proteins and Carbrahydrates

Heyo my Royals
This is my first post qbout health and healthy living
The information i tell is advice that i personally got from professinals such as personal trainers and dietitians, both for eating disorders and normies
1. Carbs are not the enemy, half an hour before a workout (of any kind), it is advised to eat a small meal of only carbs, such as a peanut butter sandwich, a tiny bowl of pasta etc. It will give you a boost of healthy energy
2. Everything in moderation, even "unhealthy" foods such as mayo or cake or engery drinks are fine qs long qs you dont have too much. Personal example: my breakfast everyday is q tuna/mayo salad sandwich. I love mayo and cake and energy drinks. In moderation, it will help you stay happy furing dieting if you have a limited amount of all the things you like.
3. Gym Meals are not healthy, if you want to have a full meal with protein, fat and vegetables, do not have it less than 2 hours before your workout because protein and veggies are extremely heavy foods that take time to digest. Having the meal within 2 hours of the start of your workout will leave you feeling heavy and weighed down
4. Calorie Counting is a bad habit, it IS true that in order to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume, that is not q myth and its very true but i have found, through talking to different people that calorie counting is an exhausting and destructive habit. When you lose weight, its true that you probably wana lose it quickly but the quicker you lose it, the quicker it comes back. If you want to lose the weight and keep it off, you need to build habits that you can maintain, counting the calories of every single intake you have is unreliable and unsustainable
I hope this helps

I wanna talk about this for a sec, Eating Disorders have been a huge part of my life since before I was born and I wanna share with you my journey (that is not even close to finished)
I am 156 kg, I have an eating disorder called Binge/Compulsive eating disorder
My grandma was anorexic and she pushed it on to my mom who was also anorexic.
I grew up knowing this because my mom never wanted to hide from me that she struggled
I knew that Eating Disorders were bad and that I should avoid them but then I got hospitalized for a suicide attempt and I was roommates with an anorexic depressed girl, Let's call her Emily (obviously not her real name) Emily was so depressed and I could see how she suffered but I found myself wanting her skin and bones body type...then one day I was sitting with her and another girl from a different room who suffered from severe clinical depression. We talked about our bodies and you have to understand, I never had a thin body type, I was born a big baby and I've been big my whole life. Anyway, Emily told us her story qnd how she realized she was quote on quote "fat"...and I found myself feeling inadequate and fat and disgusting...
That was the beginning of a long ass journey. I spent 73 days in the hospital and it was already my secound hospitalization. On my third hospitalization is when I was met face to face with Bulimia through my (at the time) best friend...let's call her Annabelle, Annabelle was bulimic and again, I saw Anna suffer so so much but I, again, found myself wanting her type of body l...I was 13 by then
I struggled with my weight, trying everything to lose weight but all the weight I would throw up or starve myself to lose came back to Me..I was getting really depressed qnd angry at my body
Fast forward to 16
I started to give up...I had an all or nothing mindset..either I lost weight or I gained it...there were no other options, then, following a trauma in school, I started to eat to calm myself down...
I ate and ate and stopped going to gym, I was so broken and in so much emotional pain that I collapsed qnd went back into the hospital for the 4-8 th time, where I gained even more weight.
Fast forward again to age 20...
My weight skyrocketed and i started to see the effects on my body, my knees are weaker and my back is more painful. It also effected other things, like, my clothes are more expensive cause they are custom made, my food was more expensive cause i eat more. My self Esteem was absolutly aweful and i had never hated myself more
So, i started, 1 month ago, to start the change. Im seeing a dietitian, i go to gym and im generally trying to change my life in a healthier way.
This is the beginning of something...this is the end of me the way ive always known myself
Im not saying this to make people jealous or because im magically cured
I still cant look in a mirror
I still have a BMI of over 40
I still hate myself
But i know that if i hold on qnd keep working for a healthier me...ill find hope
In this blog i shall post updates from my weightloss journey qnd my jpurney to a healthier mind
Remember: H.O.P.E means Hold On, Pain Ends

So, I had a nightmare that the vegan Teacher was haunting me and trying to kill me...that's just to show how scary I find vegans who force their opinion on everyone around them..
Don't get me wrong, I was a vegetarian for 3 years, so I agree with most vegans qnd I love the vegan community but people like this specific vegan lady scare the fuck out of me
