Help with nutrition?

[Guest AlyTheGreatAngel]

Hiiiiiii everyone. SO I haven't posted in a while.... Anyway, I really need advice! On my diet and just a few things!

Ok so tomorrow my friend and I are going to take some snap shots of our face and body because on Wednesday we're going to LA Models for casting calls. I'm like 99% sure he'll get signed to be a model! He's very androgynous with mid-lengh blond hair, GERMAN ACCENT(LOL), 6'0 and 110lbs! I seriously think he can model both female and male clothes! NOW I'm going because I have nothing to lose! and well to support him really! ... Now for my Advice.

So lets say I did get signed... I think I really need to start eating better! I eat to much junk since I started college! I haven't gained any weight but quel diet I have ._. Anyway, I think I need help because I really dont have time to exercise AT ALL like I use to. Cooking well I don't have time to cook the super healthy foods I use to and i'm away from home like 12 hours a day... So those day I barely eat.

Anyway I don't think i need to lose weight but just need advice on all this nutrition stuff Like being a fashion student takes my whole life away so I don't have time for everything. My friend actually is very unhealthy..... Hes been starving himself and I told him it was wrong! He just wont listen! I don't want to do that though because I have good self esteem.

Now this is me

Wish me luck on Wednesday! I kinda hope I do get signed and everything! It would be mighty awesome!! c:

Wow! You have nice curves, and I LOVE your hair. As for the nutrition, there's actually quite a lot of things you can do even while you're extremely busy. The first, and easiest, is to drink lots of water. Cold water is best. Don't drink any of those sugary, carbonated drinks. Bleh >.< The second thing is to make sure that you don't give in to the temptation of fast food. I know what it's like to be a busy college student (though from the sound of it, not nearly as busy as you) and I know how tempted you will feel to just go and get a burger from mcdonalds. I will tell you now, it's not worth it. Carry around healthy snacks either in your purse or backpack, whichever you use, and munch on them whenever you feel hungry. As for when you're at home, eating healthy isn't as hard as it seems. There are lots of websites out there that have quick, easy, healthy recipes on them. This is one of my favorites: http://allrecipes.com/. I wish you the best of luck for Wednesday!

Love,

Tessa

Do a google search of choosemyplate. Don't click on the link, but for the first result listed, it should have a link for daily food plan. Click on that link, type in a little info about yourself, and it'll tell you how many calories you should be getting, along with the food groups they should come from. Just make sure you get enough fruits and veggies to stay healthy, seriously.

Hi Alythegreatangel!

Congrats on giving this modeling/casting opportunity a shot!

You'll never know unless you get out there and try, just as you are doing!

Your picture looks great!

You will likely get all types of responses/advice within this thread.

I have tried so many types of diets, all aimed at improving my health and my stamina, both mentally and physically.

There is so much conflicting advice out in our world about what's needed and what's best for us!

I have done macrobiotic diets, vegetarian diets, vegan diets, the Paleo diet and more.

My goal was always optimal health.

I am now back to the vegan diet!

Many of my various physicians had given me a hard time, in the past, about my having been on a vegan diet.

Yet, now, all of them are on vegan diets! Lol! (They are truly on vegan, not simply vegetarian, diets! Wow!)

There is an interesting site which introduces the vegan lifestyle diet, giving rather easy guidelines to follow, etc.

There is an image of the "power plate," which is a visual aid for ease in following the recommendations, as per the Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine at : http://www.pcrm.org/health/diets/

There is a lot of info offered on this PCRM site. They also offer The 21 Day Vegan Kickstart diet.

There are ways to be creative with a vegan diet in order to meet your needs.

Truly, the best diet for anyone is the diet which works best for any individual and one that helps to keep them healthy!

Good luck with your adventure!

Hope to hear how things went for you and for your friend!

Warmly,

Brad
