What I Eat In A Day - Healing Food Trauma

New York
2025/2/18 Edited to

... Read moreIn my daily journey, I realize that every meal can be a step towards recovery and health. I start the day with a warm ginger lemon cinnamon tea, packed with benefits to kickstart my metabolism. My pre-gym snack is a jalapeno beef stick, a lean protein option that keeps energy levels up for the workout ahead. For lunch, I enjoy a spinach and mushroom omelet alongside Greek yogurt topped with granola, honey, and superfoods like flaxmeal and chia seeds. This well-rounded meal supports my nutritional needs and promotes satiety. Later, I indulge in a homemade pizza featuring salami, spinach, and provolone cheese for a wholesome dinner that satisfies my cravings while still being nutritious. Finally, I prepare homemade kimchi pickles, a delightful addition that’s rich in probiotics and supports digestive health. This journey isn't just about food; it's about embracing vulnerability, understanding food's role in health, and learning that with every bite, I am nurturing my body and mind.
