I’m an adult now, don’t know how to cook (my parents never do), have a raging sugar addiction, and hate the way I look. I’m about to move out of state and get everything sorted out BY MYSELF. They’re just so judgmental of the fact that I don’t magically have these skills…

I had the same issue, but an option reaction. Now, I’m super slim and don’t know what my body needs. I went to a dietitian (nutritionist) and they helped a TON. I have Medicaid too

It’s so difficult being raised on a substandard diet (i have ARFID and clung to sugary processed microwave foods most of my childhood). i’ve found that finding ways to cook the emulated foods i’ve been used to has helped me a lot! like, pizza flavored stuff? make a homemade pizza with healthier ingredients. etc etc, but i hope you know you’re beautiful always and your journey to feel your best is completely defined by you and no one else :)

i know how stressful that can sound. i wasn’t well prepared for living on my own either, but at least i had been cooking for my family years beforehand so im glad i didnt have to worry about feeding myself. find simple recipes that have a protein, some veg, and a vessel that can prolong the first two for multiple meals. pasta and rice recipes are easiest. chicken fried rice with frozen veggies, broccoli or spinach chicken alfredo or something. you dont have to boil chicken to have a healthier -

Felt. My parents cooked and stuff but always treated me like a child, never taught me or even allowed me to cook, were very controlling, etc. Since moving out I’ve kinda had to learn cooking from scratch and I’m not that great at it but I’ve figured out how to cook a few decent meals so I don’t have to eat out (also forced myself to learn to cook bc eating out is expensive af and I’m broke)

My parents are the same way but I’m underweight— when you become an adult you are in charge of yourself

one meal you might like + easy to prep is making a big pot of pinto beans! They’re good for you, can be used in lots of dishes as good leftovers, and are super cheap and easy to cook :)

I really suggest learning scrambled eggs. I didn’t know how to cook when I moved into my apartment. Luckily I date a Latina and she has taught me how to cook tons of shit. But I learned scrambled eggs first, it really helps establish your roots in the kitchen.

meal. learn how to season foods to your liking. i do basic salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders, and (smoked) paprika on everything then maybe add dried herbs or spicier seasonings depending on what i’m cooking. once you learn the fundamentals, the rest comes pretty easy at least to me. one thing that helped when i was first getting into cooking was the buzz feed Tasty 101 videos they did on basic dishes and techniques. they went into depth on the how’d and why’s in every step and it was -

a great foundation for many other things. also if you plan on eating meat, get a digital meat thermometer so you’re not poisoning yourself but also not torturing yourself with dry and overcooked proteins. Basics with Babish is another good series (both on youtube btw) on various simple to intermediate dishes and the steps and techniques involved in making them

for the sugar addiction, i love fruits with dip. you can find or make a lower sugar dip for apples or berries or whatever fruits you like. i was obsessed with sugar free jello pudding powders mixed with greek yogurt for my apples. maybe you could make smoothies too? frozen fruits, yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup for any sweetness and it’s so good. find “healthier” options for flavors your know you like or look for simpler recipes that have the same taste or texture profiles. also maybe -

research the nutrition balance you’re looking for. like more fiber and protein and less sodium and added sugar. a lot of products may say they’re healthier but also has like 23% of your daily sugar intake (me with the normal chobani yogurt drinks) so definitely study up on the back of the packaging from the nutrition facts to the ingredients

another tasty things, speaking of latinas teaching how to cook, there are some really simply and tasty recipes for elote. just mix up a seasoning (recipes also online), get canned corn, some limes if ur nastay like me, and cilantro if you like it. it may not be the healthiest meal, but it’s easy and helps you figure out how to season a lil more (helped me a lot)

just a note that a registered dietician (RD) and a nutritionist are different! an RD is the proper expert to see, vs a nutritionist which is an unregulated term

to start id recommend getting pre made meals from walmart, HEB/ your local grocery store. or look for meal prep stores locally, you’re paying for the convenience but sometimes you need the convenience to start the journey
