Hi All

I currently got diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and high cholesterol due to years of eating terrible things but time to change my lifestyle.

My main issue is what to have with my dinners so can have chicken, fish, salad but I can't have chips (fries) even homemade ones 😪

Posting this hoping someone can help with meal ideas and some tips.

Concerned about the possibility of not matching my daily water intake goal of 100 oz because I’m full from the non-dairy horchata I had with vegan takeout for supper.

I’m up all night until the morning because “healthy” eating leaves me unable to sleep. I take an ungodly amount of stuff to try and sleep. I’m avoiding psyche meds atm because they make me gain a ton. I’m diabetic and very petite too. So being a bbw isn’t an option

I'm getting a tonsillectomy in a month, but I'm on a diet. For weight loss purposes and general health purposes. I generally aim for low carb, high protein, almost dairy free. It works best with my body and has virtually healed my stomach problems. I'm willing to drop my deficit for my recovery, if I need to. But I'm not willing to give up dairy-free and low sugar. The only foods I really know for post-op are broth, jello, and ice cream. Dairy-based ice cream is a no-go, although I'm not sure if there's non-dairy ice cream. Sugary jello will make me ill. I have nothing against broth.

So I'm looking for suggestions. I need this surgery more than I need my diet, but I'd still like to try keeping to it. Thank you!!

Can someone explain this to me. I calculated how many calories I need to eat for weight loss it says 1750. So if I eat 1750 calories a day and also lose 300 calories by exercising. Then could I eat an extra 300 calories on top of the 1750 calories I have ate and still maintain my daily calorie oie intake for weight loss. Hope that makes sense Thanks

30M, 5'7, 135lbs, trying to gain weight :)

10am - brown rice, veggies(brocoli, bell pepper, tomatoes, etc.), chicken

Let me know what you think???

Hey guys, I need you suggestions and advise, I am in my cutting phase right now and looking to lose fat, I am a vegetarian, so what I do is, I consume normal food which is: 2 x Indian Bread, some rice, lentils and curry in the afternoon i.e. my lunch and then in the evening post workout i consume the product below

https://www.almarai.com/en/brands/almarai/liquid-dairy/protein-milk

Nutritional info as below:

Serving Size = 200g

Calories = 151 DV(%) Total Fat 0.6g 1% Saturated Fat 0.4g 2% Trans Fat 0g 0% Cholesterol 3.7mg 1% Sodium 209mg 9% Total Carbs 19.4g 7% Dietary Fiber 0g 0% Total Sugars 18.5g 0% Includes Added Sugars 9.5g 19% Protein 17.0g 0% Vitamin A 400 IU 15% Vitamin D3 80 IU 13% Calcium 539.7mg 54%

Kindly note the above information is as per 200ml but the bottle comes in 400ml pack which is as good as 34gms of protein and then after a 30-45 minutes break i consume a scoop of whey protein which offers 30gms of protein along with water, i basically skip dinner.

Just kind of second-guessing myself with the decision to go with this nutritionist, as I am so fucking hungry right now.

Nutritionist with PhD assessed my weight/muscle mass/fat % /hydration levels. She concluded I probably burn about 1390 cal per day doing nothing. I don’t have a car and I live in a city and walk everywhere. She said she would make me a plan consisting of 1500cal/day.

I have a history of anorexia but I have been at a restored weight for 2 years. Diagnosed 3 years ago. Frustratingly now I am just a few pounds overweight. Trying to work on getting down to a healthier weight but my GODDDD I am hungry.

To be fair this is only day one and I haven’t really stuck to the meal plan very well.. feeling really lost and confused.

I am not sure who made the meal plan.. I think it was probably the younger woman who works in the office as she is the one who took my food preferences.

Sorry about the language, basically that says breakfast to snacks, lunch some snacks, and dinner.

Historically, I have been vegan, but I am trying to work on not being vegan anymore.

I am so hungry I actually want to cry.. but I don’t know if that’s because these are big and hard changes or because of I don’t know what?

I didn’t get to see A nutritionist when I first was diagnosed with anorexia because of insurance. Now is the first time and I am feeling really really sad.

Hey everyone, I've been on a weight loss journey lately and I've been trying to make healthier choices when it comes to my meals.

I've heard mixed opinions about Chick-fil-A's healthiness, so I'm curious to hear from others who might have more insight.

I know Chick-fil-A offers some grilled options and salads, but they also have their famous fried chicken sandwiches and waffle fries.

Can you share your experiences or knowledge about whether Chick-fil-A can be a good option for those trying to lose weight?

Hi everyone!

We often read read about calories and what to avoidand have detailed information about most products we consume but my question is this:

Is there anyway to know how much energy the body use to break down let’s say 100grams of something with a lot of fibers, like celery? Theoretically, food with very high fiber content should make a person lose more consuming the high fiber fruit/veggie then not eating it.

I’m trying to do some bio hacking to lose even more weight only consuming products with very high fiber content making my body work hard breaking down all the fibers using body fat as the source of energy.

But is there a way for me to know how much energy is used to break down different food?

What are some ways to eat whole flax seeds without blending it in a smoothie?

Ignore this it’s just a text filler.

I check it daily, just can’t help it. I constantly need to be checking if I’m actually making progress or not, which ultimately makes me more impatient but at least I stay obsessed which in a way keeps me more locked into my diet. I guess I’m just wondering how you measure your progress, day to day, week to week, month to month?

I’m on a no added sugar and no dairy diet, so I made some oatmeal bars with my rolled oats because it’s just tastier to me that way. They’re still plain, so I want to make smoothie bowls—does anyone have any recommendations of simple/healthy ones I could make?

Hi, I'm a female college student new to healthy eating! What should I be looking for in terms of healthy snacks? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am a pretty healthy and active individual. Workout 4 times a week and stay away from unhealthy foods like fried or baked. However I eat meat with almost every meal. Mainly poultry and beef once every 2 weeks. Breakfast I go without meat, lunch I'll make some sort of sandwich with chicken/turkey, dinner always have chicken.

Is this bad?

I'm on a quest to expand my culinary horizons, and I need your help, guys! I'm curious about the weirdest foods you've ever tried. I'm talking about those dishes that make people raise an eyebrow when you mention them. Personally, I've ventured into the world of insects – crunchy grasshoppers and savory mealworms. Surprisingly not bad! Then there was that time I tried durian fruit... let's just say it's an acquired taste. But enough about me! I want to hear your stories. Did you munch on fried tarantulas in Cambodia? Guzzle down fermented shark in Iceland? Or maybe you've got some crazy family recipe that involves ingredients most people wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. Whatever it is, spill the beans (or whatever exotic food you've tried) in the comments below! Let's swap tales of culinary adventures and maybe even discover some new delicacies together.

Hey guys. I promise I’m not a bot, I just don’t get on reddit much. But I figured I could use some help. My mom has just had a heart attack (she’s okay now, don’t worry!). She was previously an absolute foodie. She loved food, especially food that wasn’t particularly great for you. After this health event, the doctors have told her she needs to fix her diet. The problem is, we’re southern, so she doesn’t know how to cook much of anything besides fried foods. She also doesn’t like fruits OR veggies besides corn and a few types of beans. She’s insanely stressed out, to the point of tears, because she doesn’t want to give up good food. How do I show her that healthier foods can be delicious? What simple meals would you guys recommend? Thanks so much.

I am going on vacation in 10 days and have been dieting for a month. I lost 39 lbs so far and this is what I'm doing:

• For breakfast, I eat an Activia low-sugar yogurt and a piece of fruit. I also sprinkle a spoonful of flax seed on top to keep my tummy moving!
• Lunch protein bar and some organic beef jerky that I purchased from a local butcher. PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN!
• For dinner, I do a bowl of zoodles, broccoli, spinach, etc, topped with a grilled or sauteed piece of meat. Steamed vegetables and pieces of meat that is cooked anyway besides breaded and fried. If I do eat a starch it's a small sweet potato, low-carb wrap, small bed of rice. All while intermittent fasting.

My question is: What are your go-to protein bars? I try to stay lower than 200 calories.

So, I have my vacation going on so I wake up pretty late (2pm) and I have a glass of water at 2 and 3 and 4pm, I have my first meal of the day by 5-6pm My next meal is usually around 1 - 2 am in the night. Sometimes even later. I make sure to eat a balanced and healthy diet. Fibre, protien, carbs and fat are always present in my meals. I have one cup tea after my first meal with 1tbsp sugar. I walk 1-2 hours in a day on my terrace.

Is this unhealthy? Should I change something because I got my period a week early this time but the colour and everything looked healthy.

I feel like I’m losing weight, feeling less bloated but I do push myself till my stomach is growling.

Hello! I am currently on a diet that is high fiber and high protein. I am also trying to keep my calories around 1500-1600 daily. I miss snacks and sweets. Any recommendations for them? Thank you!

Hi,

How accurate is MyNetDiary? I’ve been weighing my calories out and I’m on 1364 cals a day, but I’m barely eating 1000 due to being so full up!

Just wanted to make sure the amount of calories was accurate when entering the weights of my food.

I am trying portion control to boost weight loss and build better habits. My limit is 1500 cal/day. At the same time, a physician recommended an intake of only 12g of Sat fat. So far these 2 are compatible but there is also a self decided limit of 24g of sugar. This part is giving me trouble because fruit is part of the portion control. I was wondering if there's a way to make these work or if I can ignore sugars and still lose weight?

i’m stuck in confusion wondering where i should go into my diet. i’m a 15 year old guy, weigh about 130 and 5’8. i lift heavily 5-6x a week, and i have been for a while. i’m very athletic, but don’t know why i just can’t get visible abs, what do i do?

I recently got diagnosed with coronary heart disease. So I need to make massive changes to my diet. I have already started but I would like some tips if possible. One of the most common suggestions for breakfast is avocado on whole grain toast for breakfast I was wondering if I can switch the avocado for guacamole. My plan was to have my breakfast going forward to be the guacamole or avocado toast and an apple and coffee. I was planning on my lunches being centered around salads. For example tuna salad, grilled chicken salad or sometimes just a plain salad. If anyone has any more recommendations, I would really appreciate it.

im about 5'10, 16 years old, doing roughly 18-20k steps a day, and also pushups and chin ups, no other forms of workout though.

not sure what the general benchmark is for this sort of thing, i know you should limit bread consumption due to it being fattening but im not sure in my situation what the right amount is. cheers!

I was reading an article that discussed kpop idol Park Bo Ram’s diet that she used to lose 70lbs. I promise this is not a typical extreme kpop diet, which is actually why I’m a little confused. The diet contains of the typical breakfast lunch and dinner, with a snack before and after dinner. I used MyFitnessPal to count the calories of her diet, and it’s approx 2400 kcals. Some outliers were 204g of protein, 132g of fat, and 933mg of cholesterol. I’ll post the full diet below, but I’m just confused as to how such a simple diet has such crazy nutrition facts, and if it is even realistic to lose weight or maintain a slim figure with this kind of calorie intake? My source is https://www.soompi.com/article/639829wpp/park-bo-ram-reveals-her-diet-and-workout-routine-for-dramatic-weight-loss

8:00 – 1 tomato, 1 sweet potato (120-150g), 1 chicken breast (100g, both roasting and boiling are fine), salad (cabbage, cucumber, etc. without dressing)

10:00 – workout

12:00 – chicken breast salad, diet drink (with nutrients such as dietary fiber and vitamins)

15:00 – 1 banana, 3 egg whites, 1 egg yolk

18:00 – 1 sweet potato, 1 chicken breast, vegetables

21:00 – 1 banana, 2 egg whites, 1 egg yolk, 3 walnuts

Hi,

Are there people who do the carnivore diet? If yes, what are the results? Is it really effective? Which foods should be avoided?

I have several questions about this 😅 Thanks
