PROTEIN FOODS Locations

I use to feed my dog pets4life since we got her until they randomly disappeared a few years ago and I tried big country raw beef for a bit but I noticed once every week/ 2 weeks in the morning she would be in pain for a bit till the afternoon, so I switched her to open farm gently cooked and that problem went away but…now she seems to be licking a lot no matter the protein…(plus extremely expensive) I was wondering if maybe there’s some other food to try or a way to help the stomach issues

I was diagnosed with IGA when I was 16 (Now 28) and have been lucky in the fact I’ve not really had any issues with it bar a yearly flare up that occured over the first few years post diagnosis. I live a reasonably healthy lifestyle, gymming and eating high protein. I test blood pressure at home and have yearly checkups. My eGFR remains >90 with trace protein in urine. As i’ve gotten older I’ve started to pay more attention to my bloodwork and have noticed recently after 4 years of Phosphate levels (mmol/l) hanging around 1.2-1.23 during my most recent bloods this jumped to 1.37. Should I be alarmed by this trend? I know this may not be earth shattering in difference and It’s...

Had blood work in Oct and doc did my first test for LP(a) and ApoB so these will be my baseline. They were 130 and 117. I'm concerned about these numbers and will be having an appointment soon. What other tests do I need to ask for? C reactive protein? Do I need the Boston heart test? MTHR (sp?) gene? I've been doing reading but it's a lot to process. I understand the LP(a) is hereditary and there is currently no treatment for it and that it is generally recommended to get ApoB down to further reduce risks. If any of this is not right, please let me know. For some background, in Jan 2025 after having blood sugar, cholesterol and BP creeping up for 4-5 years, doc r...

My weight has fluctuated since I was a child, I’ve been morbidly obese and extremely underweight, but moreso on the bigger end of the spectrum. It’s gotten bad again because I’ve gotten depressed and lazy over the past year, my job is sedentary some days and others I’m running around like a headless chicken pouring sweat. I’m out of breath when I go up stairs, basic things like picking up 10-30 pounds make me sore and tired. My BMI is around a 37 right now, I haven’t weighed myself in awhile but I ordered a scale because I’m starting this health journey for the millionth time in the past decade. I really want to stick with it, I’m getting a gym membership (which I’ve ...

Have yall seen the new info about how people who have a certain bacteria in their guts are at much lower bmis (yes bmi I bs but this is the measure used) than people without it, and that the bacteria can be killed off with antibiotic use and it’s not naturally found in foods unlike other probiotics (I suppose it’s genetic?) They’re researching this now apparently as a cause of obesity, it’s not available to supplement with or anything and they don’t know everything about the mechanisms. But it just goes to show you that there’s so much more to this than anyone ever thought! Then if you learn food behaviors or emotional coping around food as a child that’s another layer re...

Need some suggestions as the last week and a half have been rough. Food doesn’t sound good at all. I’m basically living on protein bars and protein shakes. Looking for good, easy food suggestions to push past this. I’m not picky but I want more than just Greek yogurt or peanut butter toast. What is working for everyone? Is this just temporary?

In Morocco, we have great dishes, very tasty. Gordon Ramsay himself said Moroccan cuisine is number 1 in the world, but to be honest, the way we eat *****, and it's very bad for our health. Most Moroccans start their day with carbohydrates (7archa, msmen, khobz, batbout, etc) and mint tea with sugar, starting your day like this fucks up ur health. Want to know how? Let me my cousin Co-pilot Ai tell you: Carbs first thing in the morning Starting your day with mostly refined carbs (white bread, pastries, sugary cereals) can cause: * **A fast spike in blood sugar**, followed by a crash that leaves you tired and hungry again. * **Increased cravings** later in the day because your body i...

Dopamine is a **** of a drug am I right? A lot of people talk about dopamine like it’s a simple “more = better” situation, but that’s not really how it plays out in real life. Dopamine is more like your brain’s drive system it’s tied to motivation, follow through, confidence, learning, and that feeling of “yeah, this effort is worth it.” When dopamine function is off, everything feels heavier. Starting tasks takes more willpower, focus slips faster, and even social energy can feel weirdly low. The tricky part is that most dopamine “hacks” work by pushing the system hard. And anything that pushes dopamine hard can create tolerance. Your brain is always trying to stay bala...

Picked this up at an airforce exchange. Taste like a citrusy Redbull.

hi all! i’m 6 almost 7 months postpartum and i’ve been trying to increase my milk supply for as long as my baby has been earth-side. my son never really likes to latch unless he’s tired, so i only ever get to nurse him to sleep. he nurses on me throughout the night and for naps during the day! other than that, i’m pumping. whenever i pump i barely ever get an ounce. i’ve tried everything, pumping every two hours, power pumping daily, eating more calories/healthier food, drinking more water and electrolytes, and literally nothing seems to help increase my supply. as of late i just pump every 3-4 hours because it all just feels pointless. i’m somewhat at a crossroads, i’ve be...

I visited my Endocrinologist in Cedar Rapids today. It went well. I saw my favorite nurse, was wished a happy New Year, and started progress on getting some cheaper insulin. What much could you ask for?  I set up all of my regular check-up appointments in advance for the year, the next time I should see this lovely group of people is in April. My goal is by July to have an A1C between 6.5-7.0, which has never happened in my whole entire existence.  What to do now?  Good question. I can keep taking my metabolism boosting vitamins, but something tells me that just won’t be enough. I cut out drinking soda (diet soda, of course) except when I go out, which is once in a blue moon any...

I'm 179cm end of the day, living in the UK in a predominantly white area. Also spent a lot of time working in secondary schools. I can say without a doubt from my anecdotal experience the height amongst middle class white kids is definitely leaning towards 5'11 average. I have some pretty hefty boots which add a very solid 4cm, making me 184cm in the day. Even walking around like this I'd say I'm nothing out of the ordinary. Plenty of taller dudes, a few shorter, but overall, feels bang on average. I think the new average for white males from a decent background, under 60, is 178cm-182cm barefoot. I think anywhere in here you're going to feel middle of the road. ...

My 92 yr old father desperately needs something like Nestle Benecalorie supplements. Any ideas? Note: This is purely about max calories per gram, NOT nutrition.

I began taking Mounjaro in June 2025, I started out at around 126KG(I don't have my exact weight as I always felt embarrassed on the scales). I rapidly progressed through doses each month and got to 7.5on my 3rd month and my progress halted massively. On 2.5 I was down at 115kg after 4 weeks. On 5 I got to 109kg in 4 weeks on this dose. I went up to 7.5 and stayed on this dose for 3/4 months and only lost 5KG in these months. From June To Start of December I was down at 104.5, the lowest I have been in a long time. I took a break due to personal issues, I have no thyroid along with other issues and wasn't taking my tablets and had a mental breakdown. I started to take Mounjaro agai...

I wish I could explain to them that I don't have the relationship to food they have. No matter how much I wanted to. I wish I could tell them I thought about food \*all the time\*. No matter what. Even if I was eating I was thinking about the next meal. I wish I could make them understand that I never felt full, not once, in my adult life, before this medicine. I didn't know what it felt like. The first time it happened after this medicine I \*thought something was wrong with my stomach\*. I wish I could explain how much I paid attention to others eating when we went out, because I didn't want to be seen as the obese glutton at the table who never stopped eating (ev...

My friends say they spend an average of $400 per person. I think they're mistaken. What are you eating? An egg and a handful of carrots? I'm revisiting budget and realize I spend about $600 on groceries. I'm just one person. While I don't look at flyer prices and change where I go based on that, I do choose which ever brand is cheaper based on $/weight every time. I'll buy personal care items in large quantities when they're on sale. I generally buy frozen because it keeps longer and its often the same price or cheaper than fresh. I don't generally buy frivolously expensive things. I won't buy organic because its rarely healthier, I don't b...

Im on week five of 2.5mg of compounded tirzepatide. I lost 2-4-2lbs then the fourth week I gained a pound. Since being on this med, my appetite is mostly just gone. But the problem is the only foods I want to eat are junk food…sugar included. Even the thought of healthy food makes me nauseous. Is this normal? I’ve only heard of ppl saying the food noise is gone so they can eat healthy. And yes the food noise is gone…but I cant get in any good nutrition. I have been doing protein shakes but even those are on the fence. I need to eat healthy but I just can’t! Any thoughts or advice?
