**You Can Source Local and Survive: Here’s How the Numbers Actually Work** The call comes in on a Tuesday afternoon. Your local produce supplier just sold out of the heirloom tomatoes. They won’t have them again until Friday. You have them on six plates tomorrow night. The farm is just minutes away, but they only grow what they grow when the time is right. Your distributor could have them by 6 am. You, however, can’t say “locally sourced” on that plate anymore. This is where the sourcing conversation gets real. I have successfully managed sourcing for restaurants with food costs of 24% and 32%. I have worked with Chefs and Sous Chefs, building direct relationships with farms. I ...

Tbh, i’m not fully sure of all the mechanisms in action here, so I’m not going to make any statements as if I know all the facts here. I’ll just try to say what I’ve recognized. I’ve been taking magnesium for years. I’ve taken different types, many had similar reactions: mag chloride, orotate, glycinate, lactate, l-threonate, and the last year or two is malate. I started taking it because I needed it along with my Vitamin D3 and K2 MK7. (Couldn’t tolerate the D3 without mag). It’s hard on my stomach, but I was taking 375mg of magnesium malate (with food, spread throughout the day), and I just got to a point where I couldn’t take the upset stomach anymore. I lowered my in...

Hello everyone. I am seeking some constructive criticism on my current workout routine. I have been following this routine for the past 3 weeks or so. I have noticed weight loss as intended. I feel like my energy levels are good/ I’m not burning out. I am a 1st year medical student so I don’t really have more than an hour to spend in the gym. Other than weight loss I do have goals of being able to do body weight exercises like push ups and pull ups which i cannot currently do either. I also would like to improve my cardio health and train for running outdoors once the weather has warmed up where I live and I have lost a little weight so that it is easier on my joints. any advice for...

I've heard all the warnings against sardines in water. "EVOO is best! Water-packed is dry and fishy!" And I was on board with that from the start! I love olive oil, and I love draining the tin into a bowl and dipping bread with red onion into it. It's cheap but feels indulgent and it's my favourite lunch of the week. But OP of the water post made intriguing points. "Of course they're fishy, they're FISH. This is what sardines are supposed to taste like! And you can drink the sardine water straight from the tin, no draining required!" People said OP was weird for drinking the sardine water, but I liked to drink the tuna water whenever I bought tin...

Hey everyone! I'm u/ohmycarrotdaily, a founding moderator of r/DogFoodTruth. This community was created after I was banned from another dog food subreddit for sharing my dog’s **fresh, real-food diet**. That experience made something clear: there needs to be a space rooted in **respect for dogs’ biology** where dog guardians can **think critically, speak freely, and explore nutrition rooted in nature**—not just industry-approved narratives. r/DogFoodTruth is for dog guardians who believe dogs thrive on: * Fresh, whole, biologically appropriate food * Minimal processing * Nutrition that supports the body, immune system, and long-term vitality This is a grounded, inte...

Last year, I became a licensed Food for Life instructor, and I absolutely love teaching classes for friends and neighbours. Food for Life classes are essentially cooking classes created by the doctors at the PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) to promote healthy eating in the communities. Each class features: * A short nutrition video from one of PCRM's health professionals * A mini quiz, to help us memorise the key points from the video * A friendly Q&A where we can share tips and challenges of healthy eating. * A cooking demo of recipes created by the dietitians at PCRM. * The class ends with sampling the food we've prepared 😋 Each participant goes...

My 16 year old son is really into weightlifting. He watches a lot of tiktoks about nutrition, supplements, etc. He now believes that touching receipt paper lowers your testosterone. oof.

Midoriya Inko buys groceries for dinner and brings it home — only for one of the broccoli she bought to sprout a face and transform into a scrawny, earnest boy who claims he's been waiting for a mother. Izuku's quirk literally makes him florets-and-fists: he can switch between broccoli and human forms at will; he reverts to a broccoli when his quirk is forcibly disabled. "I knew heroes could come from anywhere. I didn't expect to find one in produce aisles." Basic and mechanics: * **Forms**: two distinct forms — broccoli (plant form) and adolescent Izuku (human form). Change is volatile and near instant. * **Transformation**: both the shapeshifting and human ...

Hello! So I’m sure these tips are out there but no matter what I see it’s so overwhelming. I (F29) have been taking levothyroxine since I was diagnosed at 20. I’m on .75 mg currently. My doctor has noticed when I lose weight my levels get better. I struggle so much with this. Unless I am on top of my calories and workout 4-5 days a week I gain weight. He just put me on some weight loss pills (phentermine and topiramate combo). I avoid gluten as best I can I’d say 80% aim for 135g of protein and started to avoid soy as well. Is there anything I’m missing? Something to help boost my system? Supplements? Finally found something to help and of course it’s the hardest thing for...

Option 1: You can only eat corn dogs. You can have any regular, normal condiments to dress the corn dog (ketchup, mustard, mayo, BBQ sauce, cheese sauce, relish, etc.) If corn dogs are not available and you didn't bring some, you eat nothing. More details below for the pedants. Option 2: Everything you eat tastes like corn dogs. No matter what food you put in your mouth, it tastes and feels like a corn dog. It still has the same nutritional value as the food and the same effect on your body, but to your mouth it is a corn dog. More details below for the pedants. * EDIT: In option 1, you can take medicines and/or vitamin supplements to help you not die from malnutrition. Medicines an...

Hi All! Context: I’d like to be 120 by May 2026 for a wedding. But even going down to 130 or less would be ideal in the next 4 weeks! I need some advice on how I can loose weight in a realistic way in the next 3-4 weeks. I eat a good portion of food. Usually vegetables with meat and rice/noodle. I’ve been trying to make my second meal a soup filled with protein, vegetables, and noodle. I have not worked out or exercise in a long time so I will be getting more active but not like an intense workout routine. By more active, i mean walking more, stretches, and adding in some yoga or light easy workouts. I am a busy person as I work 30 hours and take 4 grad school courses in the evening...

This question comes up constantly, and it usually comes from people who have been burned by dieting before. A lot of people already feel like their metabolism is “broken”. Years of dieting, calorie cutting, and weight regain can do that. So when weight loss injections enter the picture, it’s normal to worry that they might make things worse long term. The short answer is this: Weight loss injections do not ruin your metabolism. But how they are used absolutely matters. What actually damages metabolism Metabolism doesn’t suddenly shut down because of a medication. It slows when your body adapts to stress. The biggest causes are: • Repeated crash dieting • Eating far to...

Folic acid, a **synthetic pre-vitamin form of folate** (vitamin B9), remains both temperature and pH stable, allowing for easy addition to processed foods and multivitamins.  * First, folic acid must be reduced to dihydrofolate by using the **DHFR** enzyme. * Secondly, the DHFR enzyme converts dihydrofolate into tetrahydrofolate (the active version used by the body). Tetrahydrofolate, along with the **MTHFR** enzyme, is required in a critical step within the methylation pathway. This vital pathway’s responsibility includes creating the methyl groups needed in DNA synthesis, detoxification reactions, the creation of certain neurotransmitters, and more. Often when reading about fol...

Abstract: The Scythians, often described as mounted horse-back warriors of the Iron Age steppe with lavish burial goods, have attracted increasing scientific interest over the past years. Recent genetic and multi-isotopic studies have uncovered that the ‘Scythians’ were neither a homogenous political nor a cultural group, but rather diverse populations of heterogeneous origins with intricate socio-political systems. Although populational differences in agro-pastoral subsistence regimes of Northern Black Sea Region groups have previously been identified through stable isotope analysis, it remains unclear which animal products were consumed. Here we investigate the dietary systems of two S...

32F, been vegetarian since I was 13yrs old, light to moderate activity (elevated treadmill for an hour 3x a week @ 20min mile, walks daily with our toddler, lots of picking up said 30lb toddler, lots of up and down flights of stairs at home). My family has known high cholesterol; my mother has it and my youngest sister (26) has it and both are on meds for it. My youngest sister already has numbers like mine. One of our uncles (my mom's youngest brother) recently had open heart surgery. He caught a heart attack and went to the ER where they found 90% blockages in all four main arteries in his heart. He is very active, works out daily, eats very clean, does not smoke, only drinks sociall...

I know paying out the *** for a dinner at a Michelin star restaurant or any fine dining establishment can be steep. However, as a person who works fine dining this just mildly ticked me off. The meal isn’t sufficient anymore and people are expecting a parting gift. Some restaurants have the money and luxury of doing so. Some do not. I have worked fot both. I guess the concept that I am baffled by is it’s a gift. It shouldn’t be expected. It should be a surprise if offered. I don’t go anywhere expecting anyone to give me something that is not written on my menu or that I paid for. Do I enjoy supplemental mignardise? **** yeah! But as a person who has to balance food cost, menu prici...
