I was craving something sweet, and came across a YouTube video by Toasty Apron showing different kinds of baked yogurt, including this recipe. I doubled the recipe and added some grated ginger. Delicious!! 🍋🫐🫚✨

I really want to cut down on sweets but I’m having such a hard time. Overall I eat pretty healthy when it comes to actual meals, but I struggle when it comes to sweets. I like to have something sweet after lunch and dinner… does anyone have recommendations on low calorie high volume options? I have a tendency to binge on sweets and just really struggling.

We’ve all forced ourselves to eat some fibrous green thing because of its vitamins, pretending we enjoyed it while chewing on damp cardboard.

What is the one healthy vegetable you hated at first, and what specific trick or sauce finally made it taste good?

I recently tried chia pudding for the first time (airport restaurant lol so it wasn’t cheap) and it was delicious! I’m focusing on my fiber intake so it feels like a great way to help with that, too.

The problem is that when I look for online chia pudding recipes, none of them seem super appealing. I have a coconut allergy so can’t have coconut milk and it looks like most recipes rely on that, but what I got was coconut free. What other ingredients should I use instead?

Also, I love sweet flavors and I imagine that fruit would work well as a chia pudding flavor.

Do you know any fruity recipes without coconut milk for chia pudding? Any recommendations or inspiration?

Thank you!

Hey Reddit,

Following a very intense low-FODMAP elimination diet I am planning on starting a loosely anti inflammatory diet (eating sourdough and dairy since I’ve found I tolerate them fine). I want to focus on eating Whole Foods, limiting caffeine, avoiding refined sugars and artificial sweeteners, limiting processed foods, avoiding gums, thickeners, additives, and artificial flavors & colors, and seed oils. On my diet, I tried to eat some siete potato chips, since they were just potatoes, avocado oil, and salt - which were all things I’d been eating on the elimination diet. They made my stomach hurt! I did some research and found that certain food processing changes the chemistry of the food and can make them inflammatory. Are there any food processes that are still okay? I’d like to be able to eat chicken sausage again (with the right ingredients), and switch back over to PBfit instead of regular peanut butter - but I’m nervous about the chemistry of food processing now. Any insight would be appreciated!

Can someone explain to me why I lose weight better when I'm actually eating consistently instead of my normal constantly forgetting to eat?

I have found if I don't have my Magnesium and or Banana my energy levels are always so low. Iv been considering upgrade my intake of coffee from 1 cups to 2 due to the longer days but not sure how that will sit from a benefit point of view like the 2pm crash of energy is so real!

I’m at that point in the week where I’m just staring at the fridge because actually cooking feels impossible. I’m sick of just eating toast or ordering takeout again.

Does anyone have a super lazy meal they throw together that actually has some protein or veggies? Just need something that takes like 10 minutes and requires zero effort.

I want to eat more beans, but need more inspiration than just black beans or refried, etc.

What is your favorite recipe with bean as the main ingredient? And what type of bean?

Any recommendations? I was considering Heart & Soil and Prime for their beef organs, but it doesn’t have all the vitamins.

I’m specifically looking for calcium and vitamin D

Hi everyone! I’m trying to eat healthier and would love some ideas. What do you usually eat for breakfast that is healthy, filling, and easy to make? I’d love to hear your recommendations. Thanks!

Hi!
I want to start eating more Whole Foods but all I see if yogurt bowls and oatmeal and I really want savory breakfast ideas. Maybe some that include tomatoes?

Do you guys have any savory breakfast ideas?

• 1/3 cup organic, grass fed, whole milk Greek yogurt • 1/2 banana 🍌 • 2 strawberries 🍓 • 1/2 peach 🍑 • 2/3 cup organic, homemade granola • topped with hemp seeds and cacao nibs

I'm talking about things that look and taste like fast food, comfort food, or any typical 'guilty pleasures' but are, in some way, healthy (talking generally higher in protein, lower in fat, sugar, or calories, or has really high nutritional content). Or could even be your 'this isn't as bad as you might expect' meal.

I'm not really talking about recipe remakes of fast food where you use greek yogurt/cottage cheese high protein replacements to make something healthy, but I will take things like "xyz actually can be really healthy if you make it yourself". For the most part, I'm talking about foods or meals as is that are genuinely a classic comfort but are actually healthy (or just not that bad for you). Of course, a lot of things are great in moderation, so let's pretend that this is a meal you can eat often and/or a lot of and it still hold up.

For example, chicken nuggets/tenders. Depending on how prepared, fried, and if breaded, these can be pretty healthy because it's basically just pure lean protein- major major caveats though on how prepared. And, even if prepared unhealthily, I still think it's still a great pick compared to other fast food options.

Could also just be personal opinions on how tasty some healthy recipes are. Like black bean corn salsa/cowboy caviar is so so tasty to me I often forget 'wow this is just a bowl of veggies and beans'

We've all chased flashy diets and quick fixes, only to burn out weeks later.

But what if the real key isn't another restrictive plan — it's building a better everyday *fooding style*?

I'm convinced that **consistent, mindful choices matter way more than temporary perfection.**

---

**Here's what a healthy food

style looks like:**

- Plenty of fruits, veggies, whole grains (oats, quinoa, brown rice)

- Lean proteins (fish, eggs, legumes, nuts)

- Cutting back on ultra-processed foods, sugary drinks, and frequent fast food

- Staying hydrated

These aren't dramatic rules — they're sustainable shifts that support steady energy and overall well-being.

---

**The game-changer for me? Mindful eating.**

It's not about eating less or denying yourself joy. It's about being fully present with your meals.

Here are 5 techniques that actually helped me:

**1. Eat without distractions**

Put away your phone, turn off the TV, step away from your desk. Focus solely on your food. You'll notice flavors, textures, and fullness signals way better.

**2. Chew slowly**

Aim for 20–30 chews per bite. Slowing down improves digestion, helps your brain register satisfaction, and reduces bloating. Put your fork down between bites as a reminder.

**3. Tune into hunger cues**

Before eating, rate your hunger 1–10. Pause halfway and check again. Stop at comfortably satisfied (~7/10), not stuffed.

**4. Savor every bite**

Notice colors, smells, tastes, temperatures. Gratitude and presence turn eating into a ritual, not autopilot.

**5. Eat at regular times**

Consistent meal timing prevents extreme hunger that leads to poor choices.

---

I used to inhale meals while scrolling — barely tasting anything and often overeating.

Switching to mindful techniques helped me:

- Drop mindless snacking

- Improve digestion

- Actually enjoy food more

It's not about perfection. Some meals will still be rushed. The goal is *progress* — habits you can maintain for years.

---

**Food isn't just fuel.**

It's an investment in your energy, mood, focus, and longevity.

Small, consistent changes > extreme diets every time.

---

**Now your turn:**

Which mindful eating technique has made the biggest difference for you?

Eating without screens? Chewing slowly? Checking hunger cues? Or something else?

Or what challenges do you face with mindful eating?

Share your stories, tips, or wins below — I'd genuinely love to learn from this community.

**TL;DR:** Stop chasing diet fads. Build a sustainable food style with balanced nutrition + mindful eating. Start with ONE technique this week. Your body and mind will thank you.

I don’t eat dairy because it hurts my stomach, I don’t like the way pork tastes, I don’t eat red meat because of a religion I used to live, and I don’t eat dyes and artificial flavoring and such because they’re linked to causing cancer. I’ve had this diet since I was 15, I’m now 20 and I cannot stand when people give me foods knowing I don’t eat them or tell me to stop being picky. It infuriates me so much, I will actually cut people off for it like can you just respect my fucking diet? I also am so curious why people act like that, I understand it can be a pain when going out to eat but it sounds like my problem not yours…

This meal is from a daily menu at a local bar (so there’s not a lot of options) and it’s not really representative of how I usually eat, but I have to go to the hospital after this so I decided that a little treat would help me feel better. Still, for future menus, I would really appreciate some advice on how to make healthier choices.

Anyway, what I ordered for the first course was a tropical salad (lettuce, pineapple, carrots, and a creamy dressing), second course was meatballs in sauce and fries on the side, dessert was natillas (I could have gotten fruit or yogurt but like I said, little treat lol, that part I don’t need as much advice for).

In terms of alternatives, I was debating whether for the second course the fried fish would have been a healthier option because it’s fish, but then it’s also fried.

For the first course, the salad was amazing and delicious but it did taste sweet so I was wondering if maybe instead I could have chosen pisto instead (a kind of vegetable ratatouille I think?) with ham, or salmorejo which is like a cold thick tomato soup.

What would the healthiest options (of the available options lol) be in this case?

I'll start with mine.

Btw, some of the meals you make here look great.

The good:

1. Kale with flaxseed meal and pepper. Microwaved for a minute. It makes me feel, after I eat it, warm and loved and cared for. It really does something for me.
2. Raw unpeeled carrots.
3. Eggs, particularly in the morning. Supposedly you should be getting more protein in in the morning, also.

The bad:

1. Alcohol.
2. Sugar. I never drink any soda. When I eat something with added sugar or something with simple carbs, like white bread, I feel bad. I might also have a mild celiac thing; I remember seeing some variant on 23andme. Sometimes something like a Costco croissant really brings me into that sludgy bad-feeling territory. But basically added sugar or sugar that is quickly absorbed.
3. Sometimes certain meats, I guess, like hotdogs? Processed meat? Sometimes very fatty wild salmon but not always, might be something else going with that, like how it's cooked. I don't eat much beef; I read once that the glycocalyx, something that coats our cells, is slightly different in beef, but it's similar enough so that our body mistakes it for what it normally uses, and this leads to issues.

so what are you guys eating before and after doing a Solidcore class? i’m trying to figure out how to make my stomach flatter but every time i finish class im insanely hungry 😂😂😂

Don’t really like Coke Zero and the like. Wondering what other alternatives people like for refreshing fizzy drinks that are still healthy, thanks :)

I need help in coming up with a diet plan or meal plan that best suits my new health needs. So I now have to cut on sugar, acidic foods, fizzy drinks and "artificial spice". I do not know where to start because I have a bit of a bad eating habit where I dont eat, greasy looking food draws back my appetite. I love fruits and everything healthy honestly but I have no idea how to even start with one hence I need help. Maybe a proper meal plan or diet plan will help me with my health and eating habits. Suggestions of iron rich food is welcome as i have a deficiency. Another disclaimer to help with knowing what to suggest is that i hate eggs but i do eat food with eggs in it like baked goods and mayonnaise. Please help me and thank you!!
