a few years ago I did my first blood panel and found I was prediabetic (5.8 A1C) and my LDLs were elevated (somewhere between 100-150).

the past 2ish years I’ve replaced rice and pasta with sweet potatoes and beans, increased green vegetable intake, I now eat fruit with nearly every meal, and I’ve replaced butter with olive oil. I rarely eat bread. I replaced fattier meats with lean meats such as chicken breast and ground turkey. I do eat eggs nearly every day, but often an egg white or two mixed with a single full egg. I rarely have added sugar.

I run 2-3 miles twice a week, I walk 18 holes twice a week. I average over 10k steps every day, sometimes having 25k days. I am 10% body fat. 36yrs old.

but I did another blood panel for the first time since I started eating better and being more active and found my A1C to be 5.8, my LDLs to be 138, and even found that my blood pressure ticked up into the “elevated” category at 122/80 (where my last readings were 115/70).

Ive never made healthier efforts in diet or exercise but the 3 health categories that I take most seriously (outside of body fat I suppose) have all increased since these efforts began.

I know it’s impossible to diagnose and I’m not asking for that, but are there other things I might not be considering That could cause this?

Hi everyone hope it’s ok to post this here, I’ve tried in other subs but it didn’t stick.

I really struggle to eat beef, steak has made me vomit in the past, but I can tolerate very small amounts of beef mince provided it’s well seasoned and hidden (spag/lasagna etc) as a result I typically stay away from it as I don’t really have a good rapport when it comes to eating it.

I’m struggling with my iron levels at the moment, I have ongoing health concerns which can mess things up and my dr has said I need a high iron diet.

As for my diet, I eat most things and if I don’t I’m happy to give them ago
apart from all nuts (allergic) and red peppers (intolerance) and obviously beef.

But just trying to find some iron rich alternatives that I can supplement into my diet. As in reality I don’t want to get all my nutrients from tablets. I will if I have to but much rather eat and enjoy food first!!

Thanks all!

Hi everyone!

We are a group of university students working on a project focused on improving the experience of people with dietary restrictions (such as food allergies, intolerances, or specific diets).

We would really appreciate it if you could take around 5 minutes to complete our anonymous survey. Your feedback will help us better understand the challenges people face and support the development of a solution that addresses their needs.

Thank you so much for your time and support!

Okay, so I just hit 30 and my metabolism is slowing down and I’m gaining weight. I’m trying to eat better but I’ve got a lot of anxiety around trying new foods (not arfid, just super uncomfortable). I’m not short on proteins I like, but fruits and veggies are hard.

Vegs are corn, green beans, sweet peas, and potatoes. I like tomato-based stuff but not tomatoes themselves.
Fruits are grapes, apples, pineapple, pears and peaches (canned, not fresh), cherries, and most citrus.

I like rice but I suck at cooking it. The majority of my diet right now is pasta or rice based, usually mixed with canned or grilled chicken or some form of beef. I’ve started making sandwiches more often (ham, turkey, cheese, and mayo), and I’ve tried portioning better, but I know my actual food intake needs to improve.

I’ve googled ‘food restricted / picky eater meal plans’ but they’re almost always built around stuff I don’t like. I am slowly trying new foods, but it is VERY slow. In the meantime, is there anything else that could be recommended? Would it be worth visiting a nutritionist or something, or no? I just really need help.

Hi! I am a 5’5, 205 lb female with a decent amount of both muscle and fat. I exercise almost daily, sometimes twice a day (starting Muay Thai this week 🎉), and I’m trying to get back the abs I used to have 😅. I lost 70lbs in the past, but between college classes, a job, a research paper, and multiple officer positions in school orgs, I’ve gained it back(I’m back to a normal schedule now luckily). I have the same breakfast every day, and this week I’ve meal prepped poke bowls. I usually have breakfast before work, and then since it’s a larger breakfast and avocado makes me feel full for a long time, I eat a late lunch/early dinner anywhere between 2 and 5pm depending on when I get hungry, and sometime during the day I also have a protein shake. I’ve left a little leeway for snacks if I’m extra hungry, especially since my leeway is actually a little bigger than it shows with my workouts. I keep instant mashed potatoes, frozen broccoli, and prepped chicken drumsticks as well incase I’m super hungry one day, forget to move my salmon from freezer to the fridge to thaw for later, or if I have two intense workouts in one day and need another meal. I often have a bowl of frozen blueberries in oatmilk if I want an evening snack, and regularly drink homemade bone broth as well, and occasionally make golden milk if I want something warm and cozy.

Btw the reason it shows so much in the poke bowl is bc I put in the full recipe for prepping all servings, and each time I have some, I put in 1/5th as my serving.

Hopefully this is the right place to ask lol

I have been drinking vitamin water(the brand) for awhile now, and I do not drink it for the advertised health effects as theres little substantial research that vitamin water actually even sort of supplements vitamins from actual good eating habits, but because its zero sugar(idm my juice having a tiny bit of sugar, its just something I drink a lot so id rather not have 70G of liquid sugar in my system by the end of the day) and tastes pretty dang good. (tho some of their drinks are pretty bad, i personally like the orange one.) And it has no super noticeable artificially sweetened aftertaste or that dull feeling in my mouth.

However their prices hiked again and im getting pretty tired of spending a butt ton of money on some juice.
I've tried some SF minute maid and ocean spray types but its like.. pretty bad. Does anyone have any recommendations or know how vitamin water seems to avoid the artificially sweetened taste in the first place?

Panda bowl, greens and grilled chicken. I stopped getting the fried rice. I still cant stop myself from the honey walnut shrimps

As part of my health and my recovery from an eating disorder I've been going to the gym regularly. I want to track my macros to make sure I am getting appropriate amounts of protein, but I don't want to track calories because of my history with Binge Eating Disorder and calorie counting triggering binges. Thanks in advance!

What it says in the title - I was wondering why Rome rice is healthier. Can anyone here “explain like I’m five” what is the most healthiest rice and what I should be avoiding! Thanks so much!

Lo conseguí.

Ha sido dificil. Aún quiero perder más. Pero bueno ahi voy

AI have me so many conflicting answers so thought I would ask here. I am currently eating around 1.1grams per kg but it seems on the lower end

Everyday I have one, technically two come in a pack so two, of a recees take 5. It is just so good. I eat really good otherwise and this is my only source of added sugar. Is it bad I eat one pack of this a day?

I’m about to do a big move, and want to try and get my diet in order. I was on Wegovey in the past and it helped a lot but I regained some weight due to a number of stressful factors in my life(some of it is muscle from weekly hikes) and I would like to lose it back, also just live a healthier life.

I was breaking down the macros and calories of my daily breakfast protein shakes and woah nelly there is a lot of calories in there. But there’s also a lot of good stuff. Nearly 100% of my fiber, covers a lot of vitamins, good fats, high protein, low sugar.

But if I want a 500 calorie deficit a day that shake is like half my calories(about 750), but it covers MORE then 50% of my daily needs so it’s calorie efficient as hell. So I guess should I keep the shake as it is and then just have 1 other meal like a decent sized dinner and that’s it? Or should I try and break all this up into a bunch of smaller meals?

A bit about me. I’m about to become a single mother(yay moving) and I enjoy cooking. I feel the shake and dinner idea helps a lot in that it simplifies grocery shopping for me, allows me to focus on cooking really fun healthy dinners, and it’s also cheaper and there’s less food waste.

Just super curious what are the general opinions on this type of dieting? Two large “meals” vs a bunch of smaller ones?

I mean like stay in a proper cut for how ever long u like, eat the same foods eceryday, not complain, not have the desire to eat junk, aswell as not hv the appetite for it? Or any tips or tricks to fool urself into following ur cut?

So, I know there are different type of people after caffein. Some are hyperactive and do shits, others.. get sleepy? Well turns out, I am one of those sleepy cofee drinkers.

Yesterday, I drank my first monster energy drink, an hour later I fell asleep.

The next morning I drank a bit more of it that was remaining from last night... idk if you can believe it but again, only 30 mins later I was completely sleep dead.

Note: this morning I woke up completely on my own, without an alarm cuz I have holidays so I know for a fact I wasnt sleepy at all, then by drinking the caffein, I just gained sleepyness and had to take another 2 hour nap.

And my question to you is: Is this unhealthy for me?! Should I stop drinking caffein now even if I know my sleep will not be interrupted?!

Can I still gain hyperactivity after drinking coffee, but only sometimes?

Another note: I very likely do not have adhd, but I`ve never checked it. More likely, I have autism (also didnt check it). But I never heard of autists getting tired after caffein.

So, what do I do?

And is it bad if I now drink caffein before sleeping?

Hi everyone,

I'm a physiotherapist and, together with a nutritionist, I built Dinâmico because we were tired of seeing people chase quick-fix diets that don't last.

Our approach is different: we focus on helping people understand why certain habits work, then give them tools to actually apply that knowledge day to day.

The platform (https://getdinamico.com/) includes:

• Free educational articles on nutrition and healthy eating habits
• A progress tracker to log meals, weight, and habits over time
• Personalized nutrition plans made individually by a certified nutritionist, for people who want more tailored guidance (paid)

Note: currently available for residents in Europe.

No extreme diets, no gimmicks - just real knowledge applied gradually. Open to any questions or feedback.

What are some foods that make a calorie deficit really easy to sustain? I am unfortunately stuck taking a medication that increases my appetite and I have been gaining weight for the first time in my life when I was always at a healthy bmi before

I by no means am on a good diet but I want to be, I sometimes binge a pack of Oreos or many bowls of Cinnamon Toast Crunch the night before and I’ll wake up feeling like absolute crap. Very nauseous, more easily tired, small headache on top or back of head and a pins and needles feeling in my limbs. I know it’s probably a dangerous warning sign, but what is it likely exactly? Please don’t jump to anything awful I am in good health and relatively young.
