Describe how you have personally been affected by nutrition myths.
One of the myths that I went through was the one where, the foods you like are the foods you have to give up in order to lose weight. I think this myth is really a true statement as I found myself eating less and less of foods that I didn't like and I was able to reduce 15 pounds in 2 months by eating what I don't like(salad) straight for 2 months as lunch and dinner and it personally has affected me as I lost 15 pounds.
What dietary practices have you put into place that may be harmful?
So, I used to eat poor unhealthy food that had too much of fat, salt, and sugar; and too little of fiber, and other nutrients. This is a harmful dietary practice I can get obese really fast and that is a major cause of heart disease.
What products have you purchased, and for what purpose?
Some products that I have bought are protein shakes as they are chock full of protein that is necessary and I don't have to eat meat which has protein but has too much fat and salt. I also have purchased lots of fruits of vegetables for my vitamin intake. I also stopped drinking anything but fruit juices/shakes and water, I did this to benefit my body.
What types of media have influenced your food buying decisions?
Sports media has really influenced me too buy stuff, especially when I see especially with soup as Donovan Mitchell an NBA basketball player that is a star. He was in a commercial with soup brand and it encouraged me to buy that type of soup (Cambells Chunky Soup).
