In the 80s: breakfast was cereal such as rice crispies or Weetabix with milk. Lunch would be sandwich, yoghurt. Dinner would be fatty foods such as meat pies, pasties, meatballs, burgers. Desserts would be fruit pies, trifles.
In the 90s: breakfast was the same. Lunch was the same, too but dinners
were changed to be more healthier due to my dad having major strokes, and
finding out it was mainly due to high cholesterol. Out went the fatty dinnners,
instead we had home-made chicken curry, spaghetti Bolognese, cold
meats,casseroles. And we didn't have any desserts like before. The curry ingredients changed too. We first had potatoes and bread with it, then we cut out the potatoes. Then we changed the bread to popadums, then finally out went the popadums.
2000s: Another major change in my diet happened. I found I was
interolerant to cow's milk, soya, fish and maybe wheat. I also changed my
breakfasts to healthier versions. Instead of cereals I had different porridges:
millet, quinoa and oats, which I heard about on the TV programme You are what
you eat. I had these with fruit spread. These were made with oat milk. I also
found goat's cheese and sheep's milk yoghurt. Out went snacking on biscuits,
and instead I started snacking on nuts, seeds and dried dates. I gave up eating
bread as sandwiches, after finding out I could be intolerant to wheat, and was
getting fed up eating it every day by then. I started eating ryvitas instead.
Dinners also changed, with a variety of new meals. These included: falafel,
vegetarian sausages, houmous. This year I have discovered jacket potatoes and
spices, which I have in a potato and chicken curry. We now have two different curries. One plain one with raisins in, and the new one with tinned tomatoes, spices, herbs and potatoes in. I am preferring the latter one these days.
So overall, my diet has changed to a healther one over the years, for
health reasons.
How has your diet changed over the years? If it has, why? Let me know.
