My diet

My diet

There are lots of different types of diets. For example, there are people who only eats vegetables, people who regularly eats three meals per day, or people who skips breakfast or dinner. In this post, I am going to introduce my diet.

Before I entered the university, I was forced to eat breakfast by my parents. Breakfast is known to provide sufficient energy for morning routines as well as many other health benefits. Many researchers say that breakfast is very crucial part of our diet. However, although I agree to this fact, I am a little bit suspicious that a morning meal is better than a bit of more sleep. I personally believe that sleep can provide more energy than a bit of breakfast.

As I became a university student, I moved out from home and I am living alone right now. Since I never favored eating breakfast, I do not eat breakfast anymore. But on the days when there is an important assessments at school, I try to have something in the morning, hoping that all the benefits of breakfast will help my brain to work better.

When I first came to Japan last year, I used to live at a dormitory. But, due to the poor facilities, I had to move out. I could not cook at the dormitory because, the kitchen was too small and unhygienic for many students to use. I was always cautious not to use the kitchen for so long so that other students could also cook. Also, I had to consider the nationality of the other students on the floor as the smell of my country’s food could be not as appealing to others.

Now that I am living in an apartment, I try to cook more often. I made Okonomiyaki, Yakisoba, spaghetti and many more in the past two weeks. Recently, I have been choosing the menu of the day by watching a television channel related to cooking, where famous chiefs compete with each other. The important rule is that they have to finish cooking within 15 minutes with limited ingredients. Sometimes, there are some dishes that I really want to try while watching the show. So, I take a note of the recipe and head straight down to a shop and try to cook the dish.

Among the three meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner, I only eat lunch at a regular time, because the lunch time is set by the school. For dinner, I eat whenever I become hungry. Sometimes I eat three bowls of rice, or when I am not very hungry I just have an icecream. At first I was worried that my irregular diet will lead to gaining of weight or increase my blood pressure, since I eat too much salty foods. However, I was relieved to find out that both my weight and blood pressure was normal by the health check done at school. 

         In conclusion, I believe that every individual has different diet that is suitable for themselves. Although my diet is often irregular and sometimes even have unbalanced nutrients, I am very satisfied with my current diet routine.
