PROTEIN FOODS Locations

**Hi girls!! 💕** I just joined this group and I’m so excited to be part of a supportive sisterhood where we can all help each other. **My story:** I am a 28 years old -- I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2024 (insulin-resistant type). At first, I tried to lose weight and take supplements like berberine, but I wasn’t consistent and didn’t see much change. In 2025, I started semaglutide for about 4–5 months, focused on a high-protein diet, and worked out 3–4x a week (mostly walking \~10k steps, Pilates, and hot sculpt classes). That honestly changed everything for me. Since February 2025, I’ve lost 28 lbs, my period came back after not having it for years (and is now regular e...

So when I've been out in the world prior to being diagnosed food would always be paired with whatever activity I was doing when it was time to go out and have fun. For example a day walking the mall would mean a trip to the food court for something tasty at some point during the trip. A trip to the zoo usually meant stopping by the zoo cafe for a burger and fries or getting an ice cream cone from a stand. A trip to the movies usually meant going to a movie grill where they serve you a nice lunch or dinner with the movie. I would usually get a pasta or breaded chicken dish of some kind and sometimes a slice of cake. A trip to an amusement park meant getting some kind of gluteny batte...

Hi there, My sweet, 14-year-old cat Goose has been sick for one year, beginning with a trip to the ER in April 2025 for constipation which has resolved. Since then her health has plummeted, sometimes she gets slightly better and then declines again. We have been to 4 different vet clinics, including a cat-only vet, have seen multiple doctors at each vet, and received multiple misdiagnoses of GI lymphoma, IBD, stomatitis, arthritis, Horner's syndrome. Her ultrasounds show slight thickening of her intestines that improved with steroid use. Two vets ruled out GI lymphoma after an SPE test and an updated ultrasound 6 months after the first. Negative for FIV/FELV. She has been too unwell f...

Do you think doing ALL the things makes a difference? The supplements at least 3 months before, lots of protein, acupuncture? I have had two pretty bad egg retrievals I’m 39 years old with a low AMH. I think I’m doneeee I am just so tired and burned out but my doctor insists on a third retrieval. Would 3 months of life style changes really make a difference?

So, as background, I'm a 23 yr old trans woman taking, seroquel, hydroxyzine, buspar, estradiol, spiranolactone, famotidine, and sumatriptin most recently. Over the past few months I've been having some minor breathing difficulties at work on some of my heavier days. I work at my local healthcare facility as a janitor/nutrition food runner, and tended to get a bit winded a time or two a week a few months back. About 2-3 weeks ago though, things changed. First I started getting pretty regular migraines (I think they're migraines bc I can feel blood pulsing in my temples during.) about 2 weeks ago, I started having some other hypotensive issues and scheduled a doctor's vi...

I’m a very healthy, active 30 year old female who got Covid a few years ago and subsequently long COVID. I have pots, dysbiosis, tinnitus, insulin resistance, brain fog post meals, potential histamine intolerance/mcas. I’ve worked hard on microbiome work (fiber/greens/probiotics/polyphenols/strict paleo sugar free, dairy free, alcohol seed oil free diet for 3 years). I make sure to eat my healthy carbs with proteins/fats but I still get post meal brain fog and pots symptoms. I’ve worked with microbiome specialist, pots specialist, functional medicine; been tested for sibo, other dysbiosis issues, hormone issues, mold. Nervous system retraining and brain retraining programs, therapy,...

36 weeks today and I can’t breathe or be comfortable or exist without being irritated. At least I still like my husband’s smell. Food: toast with Oaxaca cheese, banana and protein shake if I can actually drink it.

Must really be an acquired taste. Me and the husband both really wanted to like them. We cooked them two different ways, sauteed and then a batch with ritz cracker crumbs and seasonings we usually love on chicken thighs. We both had a very hard time getting just a few down. My ferritin is like 6 and I am exploring many different high iron foods. Been low my whole life - never above 20 if I remember right. No doctor suggested full iron testing until I was having a lot of symptoms. Funny I've done so much in my life (I'm older than many here I think). I've opened businesses and run them, I've hiked miles at a time, I've worked out, been active socially - and I never re...

My original B12 serum level was 130 when I checked a few months ago. My diet has been mostly vegetarian so that may have contributed to the problem although I am not certain if I have any absorption issues (yet to test for those). I have started eating more meat in the past few months to fix these issues. My Ferritin level was in the 40s (when I checked few months ago). I know it is on the lower end but I heard that the number can be elevated when there is an active B12 deficiency so I am supplementing iron everyday. I am also supplementing B9 daily. I checked my Potassium levels in blood work and they are in the high normal levels so I am taking potassium via food alone (no supplements the...

I built something because I got annoyed with every “health app” doing the same thing. They count your calories… then act like that’s enough. But nobody actually tells you what your food is doing to your body. So I made Grobe. It’s a nutrition app that doesn’t just log your meals — it breaks them down and shows you the impact in real time: \- sugar spikes you didn’t notice \- sodium overload you ignored \- patterns in your diet that quietly add up The goal isn’t perfection. It’s awareness. I’m still building and improving it, but I wanted real people to try it instead of just guessing in the dark. If you’ve ever used a food tracker and thought “this i...

Hi I'm looking for some decent magnesium supplements for better sleep and cognitive function. Pls recommend some. Something under 1k, I found this online is it okay? Thanks

Hey, yall, I just thought I'd share my story here even though it's like preaching to the choir. The great thing about sharing your own story is there may be elements to help others in the same predicament get resolution, but with all things the results may vary from person to person. I'm just very fortunate this was a life changing situation for me that took way too long to figure out. This story will forever be marked as a pivotal turning point in the rest of my life. **Me Before** and **Me After** are as stark of a time marker as BC and AD; my world just isn’t the same today as it was before this time.   My story is something of an amalgamation of a Series of Unfortu...

I read through a bunch of other threads but I don’t want to hijack anyone’s .. Luna (7f) has been with us for 6 years now. For 5 of those years she was on a high protein kibble with no issues. One day they changed the formula and she was doing a lot of vomiting. Per the reviews other cats were having this issue as well and ultimately I think this formula is no longer even on the market. So for the last year we have been slowly trying some various foods with limited success. Foods that have no vomiting issues then have diarrhea issues and on and on. Vet gave us a probiotic/kaolin paste which is not a long term solution. Is there any food out there with No corn and No legumes (soy...

So I basically on Iron day 16 and while I love it and trying my best… I am quite frustrated and conflicted with the nutrition side. I basically dont even eat any added sugar in my diet, and keeping it pretty clean. But i dont count calories or macros ( which i am looking into now….). I am pretty slim but would just like to lose a few kg while building muscle, but I am finding I actually gained like 2 kg since started the program. Which i know can be water weight etc… But i just find it so frustrating because counting macros is such-a insanity for me, mainly because I am also eating cooked foods by someone else at times etc and would really like to know how other ladies deal with t...

Picked these up to have in my backpack for some work travel/flying. Didn't end up needing, so ate at home. Would highly recommend. Very good. Perfect low heat.

I am currently doing a calorie deficit diet, and I’ve lost half a stone so far. All good. But I have been eating the same things every day pretty much, and I would love to hear people’s food ideas. Mostly eating yoghurt and protein pancakes for breakfast, boiled eggs and smoked salmon for lunch or protein smoothie thing, then dinner I make for me and my husband and I google low calorie recipe and have made things like healthy fish pie, spaghetti Bol, etc etc. I would love some ideas for breakfast and lunch. Filling things/ mini meals people have discovered

Sleep latency (how long it takes you to actually fall asleep once your head hits the pillow) is one of the most frustrating sleep metrics because tiny things can swing it wildly. Here's a guide to better understand what actually influences it based on research. I broke this into 5 main areas: nutrition, supplements, exercise, environmen, and demographics. I added a plain english explanation column for each row and short definitions to start which I hope helps make it easier to understand each factor. All sources at the bottom. I know tables are difficult on mobile so I take all the data to make it into a free page that is more visually appealing. Here's the page if intereste...
