PROTEIN FOODS Locations

TL;DR: fat guy got fit, data drove choices and happy with how I’ve felt the last 6 weeks. I’ve re-engaged with my health over the last 8 months. Done a lot of pubmed reading, got baseline biomarkers tested on one of those services, worked in regular running and strength training, and optimized nutrition (paying attention to intake of protein, saturated fat, fiber, and the various vitamins and minerals contents of the stack). After 6 weeks I feel great and my biomarkers and various levels are right where they need to be. I’m on caloric restriction still so was struggling to get the protein I needed. Once I’m at goal weight I will likely reduce what’s in the shakes and supplement w...

Hi all. I love this community. While I haven’t quit drinking 100%. I went from 30-35 drinks a week. To maybe 4 drinks a week. I even went 70 days with zero drinks. essentially Cut my drinking by 90%. I walk 25+ miles a week. I do Pilates 3-4 days a week. I count my protein and am at a deficit of 500 cals a day at least. I’m still not getting to where I want to be. I’m also on a GLP-1 (lowest dose). Ive been doing everything pretty strict for almost a year. I’m starting to feel like screw it. And yes I count everything that goes in my mouth … I am a 5’2 female and I eat between 1,200-1,400 cals a day and burn between 400-800 a day with my exercise. I also am also strict with my ma...

I'm 41, and I'm noticing a few difficult changes and I'm hoping to get some advice. In the last 2-3 years I've got a slightly less regular cycle, and significantly less energy and focus. I have to exercise nearly every day to hold off anxiety and depression, and I have to eat a decent amount of protein every day or I have no capacity to move or think! I've got really sensitive and reactive skin now, and my fat distribution is changing with the addition of loads of new cellulite. I've also now got achey joints. I feel like I'm doing everything possible with lifestyle changes, diet changes, supplements etc but it's still not enough. Is it time to se...

I can't overstate how much these meds have changed my life. Felt the food noise cut almost instantly from the 0.25mg dose (now on 1mg), and while there have been some unpleasant symptoms (some nausea while I figured out what was triggering it), this has been a truly great experience. Height: 5ft6 / 167cm, SW: 96.6KG, CW: 81.7 - no goal weight at the moment, I just want to get into the healthy BMI category and then see how things stand. I was already going to the gym and running a few times a week, and I have just maintained exactly what I was doing. Food wise I have focussed on protein and simplicity, ditching the snacking and overeating has made the difference. My food bill has dro...

I'm 6+5 today and this started at about 6 weeks. It's like I've had too much to eat but the extreme version of it and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. I've read it's part of acid reflux. Has anyone else had this and found something that works? I'm not super nauseous so far but the way my throat feels makes me feel neausous and I do have intense food aversions. Like, today dinner was applesauce, half an orange, half a sandwich with a piece of chicken and half a protein bar and I thought very long and hard about each little part of my dinner to make sure nothing would trigger nausea in that moment. Sometimes I just want tea for a meal lol.

27M - 196cm - 96kg Started my reta journey 3 weeks ago. Already 5kg down from 100kg starting weight. Currently running 1mg per week - not looking to titrate up just yet, as this dose working super well. Hunger suppression has eased up a bit - but I have no desire to eat junk food or drink alcohol! This thing’s a miracle. Have really dialled my eating and am weight/cardio training much more regularly than pre-Reta. I’m on a pretty strict deficit - aiming for under 2,000cal each day & 180g protein. Only negative sides so far: - mild nausea (went away after week 1) - learnt my lesson to not eat pork belly lmao. - Some weird mental sides the day after - just a little bit o...

TL;DR: I cared for my boyfriend full-time after major surgery, but he still charged me half the rent and logged every expense. Later he joined me in a work-paid Airbnb, didn’t offer to pay for meals, and said a later trip “thanked” me for caregiving. Now he earns 2× my salary, uses our joint account for his purchases, and questions my small expenses. I feel unseen and financially controlled — is this normal, or is it time to leave? Me (29F) and my partner (29M) have been together for 4.5 years. I need an outside perspective on whether his behavior around money is normal and whether I’m wrong for feeling deeply unsettled by it. We met during our PhDs and earned the same salary. F...

Hello people of reddit I have been an avid Ghost energy drink enjoyer for a while, but I think I'm finally looking to implement some more protein into my life and saw that they offer a supplement to help with weight loss. With that being said, I also have IBD and plan to talk to my doctor about this as well, but has anyone else tried it with IBD or a similar GI disease? I want to try it, but I also am extremely protective over what supplements I take with my disease. Thanks.

My flow was very heavy this go-round, prompting me to check my pantry for tins high in iron. I was pleasantly surprised- I didn’t realize how much iron some of these tins had! I had crown prince oysters last night and I feel so much better today. Their sardines also have much more iron than other brands - can anyone suggest why this might be? I also noticed they are high in calcium. Is it just that they’re heavily fortified? I’m happy to have a variety of options to look forward to during my period. Especially glad to have the razor clams (and the scallops) as a low-calorie, low-fat option. Bonus picture with some fruits and veggies high in vitamin C, vitamin A and beta carotene, a...

My ENT prescribed to me CoQ10,B2، and magnesium. And recently started taking omega 3.

It is so HARD to eat enough food that has the protein. But today is the first day I made it! Just took my 4th shot Monday night and I feel like we are getting into our groove. The food advice has been really helpful here! Favorite snack so far: 1/2 cup of cottage cheese!

One has probiotics and one doesn't

I feel less baseline pain since yesterday. Taking Tylenol a couple of times a day now which is a relief. 6th day was the peak of pain for me. No bleeding so far. Small amount of scabs have melted. What to expect in the next 2-3 days? I am still eating mostly protein shakes basically and scared to eat real food.

Excuse me for using AI to phrase my thoughts in order. So this Trustified video exposing Eggoz for claiming “antibiotic-free” while harmful chemicals were found is going viral — and people are acting like it’s some huge revelation. I’m not surprised at all. My entire degree was centered around agriculture, poultry farming, greenhouse cultivation, seed production, and dairy. I’ve seen the industry from up close, and I’m telling you: if people knew even 30% of what actually happens, they’d rethink everything they eat. Let me break it down. ⸻ 🐔 Poultry: Broilers & Layers First: no, they don’t use growth hormones — that part is WhatsApp University nonsense....

So a year ago I changed my diet 100%. I stopped caffeine, alcohol and any “bad foods”. I started a new job also where I walk about 10k steps 4-5 times a week. I ate clean and made sure what I ate helped fuel me through my shifts. I definitely dont think I eat enough but I make sure I eat protein, carbs, fibers. I take vitamins and hit my water and electrolyte goal practically everyday. Through the year I went from 190 to 140. Well now I have this like strain in my chest. I’ve gotten an EKG and even an ultrasound of my full stomach every organ I’ve gotten checked along with monthly labs. Everything is fine. I’ve read that rapid weight loss can cause muscle loss and like weakness??...

Little log on how my experience has been so far: Day 1: Surgery day, went well, not much pain, everything went well and the surgeon said I had two disgustingly massive hidden tonsils lmao. Pain 3/10 Day 2: Was really scared of swallowing anything due to bleeding, pain started to become more uncomfortable, when swallowing it peaked. Ate some protein shakes and like 2 boxes of popsicles. Overall 5/10 pain Day 3: Slept less, pain started getting higher, scabs forming didn’t feel weird but it did hurt more, was able to have some soup, and cold mashed potatoes. 6.5/10 pain Day 4: Thought this was the worst day, pain was not letting me sleep well and it was getting hard to drink water, pain ...

Hi!! 21, Female, 73kg, 175cm here. I’ve been on and off dieting for three years. I’ve done everything you could think of and it’s messed with my hunger and relationship with food a lot. If you see my other posts, you’d know more about this in detail. A month ago I finally accepted that I needed to eat more to fix my metabolism, so I consistently ate 1800–2100 calories daily, which is something I feared for three years because I thought I’d gain weight. I also combined that with 3 lifting sessions and 2 zumba classes a week. Turns out, it was the best decision I made. This is how it benefited me: - I finally feel free, I finally can eat whatever I want whenever I want. I feel ha...
