Heh, thanks for your first post to be one to critique what I said. In any case, my health wasn't bad, just my eating habits. These too weren't awful. Just not good either. It's not that I was fat or even overweight, but that's partly because I sport too much for that to happen.

So, here's what I changed the last year:
  • I drink less milk, going from 1 gallon per week to about 1/4 gallon.
  • I drink 2 to 3 liters of water at work (monday to friday), but not yet in the weekends.
  • I drink fruit juices in the weekends. Currently looking for juices without added sugars
  • I eat almost no pork and far less red meat. I don't feel like giving up meat completely.
  • I eat more fish, but not enough by far (at most once a week)
  • I eat more vegetables per meal/day
  • I eat less snacks (at most once a week now, from 4-5 times a week)
  • I eat less junk food instead of dinner (from once a week to once or at most twice a month)

I really, really need to buy more fruit. I find that when I buy more fruit, I also eat more fruit. However, I always leave a small part of it in the fruit bowl too long so it starts to rot. Then I feel it's a waste of money, which makes me doubt (when in the store) wheather I should buy fruit or not.

So, there's still room for improvement, but it's also much better than how I used to eat.
