PROTEIN FOODS Locations

Tracking calories/macros for about a month now. This mixture is so good!

**Summary:** New research warns that many people using popular appetite-suppressing weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy may not be receiving sufficient guidance on dietary quality, protein, vitamins, and overall nutrition, which could increase their risk of muscle loss and nutrient deficiencies during treatment. The study’s authors say structured nutritional support has not kept pace with the rapid rise in use of these medications and emphasize the need for better diet-focused care alongside pharmacological treatment to protect overall health. **Peer-Reviewed Paper:** [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/obr.70079](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/obr.70079)

These are my tier list based on what's boring, proven, and worth money: S-tier (buy first): creatine monohydrate, protein powder if you can't hit protein with food, caffeine (if tolerated) A-tier (situational): vitamin D (if low), omega-3 (if you don't eat fatty fish), electrolytes if you sweat a lot, magnesium if sleep/cramps are an issue B-tier (nice but not needed): pre-workouts, pump products, BCAAs Skip tier: proprietary blend test boosters, fat burners, anything relying on hype + secret dosing. List down any that I've skipped, or if you feel like some these should move up or down

In 2009, I was 23 years old and weighed 300 pounds. A stranger at a gas station called me a "fat ***" loud enough for everyone pumping gas to hear. His friend laughed. My buddy came back to the car stunned. But honestly? It wasn't even the first time. I was sick, lost, and fully convinced I would be that way forever. Even more convinced it was my fault. My weight bounced between 245 and 300 for years, peaking at 300 in July 2012. By summer 2013, I was 185. I dropped 115 pounds in 11 months. In the years since, I've kept it off and taken on physical challenges I never dreamed were possible. It took me 4 years and more than 10 failed attempts before I figured out what ac...

In this special tribute episode of the Real Organic Podcast, we honor the late Joan Gussow – the pioneering nutritionist, gardener, and teacher whose fierce intellect and uncompromising honesty shaped the modern food movement. Featuring reflections from Michael Pollan, Barbara Kingsolver, Alice Waters, Karen Washington, Pam Koch, Dan Barber, Eliot Colemnan, Chellie Pingree, and others, this conversation explores how Joan’s mentorship, research, and radical course “Nutritional Ecology” forever changed the way we will think about health, agriculture, and the natural world in the decades to come.

So normally i just workout 5-6d a week, very hard, and very light cardio, but recently i am cutting (calorie deficit), so my cardio has increased to 8-10k steps a day from 5-7 -and also im running like 30-40% of those steps, + still lifting, and also pretty high carb diet (120g+ daily) with high protein lower fat, but recently, the lows have been insane, i reduce my bolus to 10-1 ratio, and my basal i already reduced alot but im still just going low all the time without bolusing for the food at lows, even big protein bars. Any tips? Does ur guys basal go down alot when youre more active on average? Lmk

Weight loss is one of the most searched and talked-about topics in the world today. From crash diets and miracle supplements to extreme workout routines, people are constantly promised fast results. Unfortunately, most of these methods fail in the long run, leaving individuals frustrated, exhausted, and right back where they started. The truth is simple: sustainable weight loss is not about starving yourself or punishing your body. It is about making realistic lifestyle changes that you can maintain for life. In this article, we will explore proven, practical, and science-backed weight loss tips that actually work. 1. Focus on Fat Loss, Not Just Weight Loss One of the biggest mistakes peopl...

I used to have energy most of the day except maybe an hour before meal times but now I rarely do. This is my third time, and I'm the most "dependent" on food I've ever been. I'm lucky if I make it a few hours without feeling weak, nauseous, irritable or something hunger related. That's not to say I eat "a lot", it's on the lower end of a normal intake but I am practically unable to go without it. I don't have diabetes or any blood sugar issue. Before every meal is absolute ****, I wake up starving sometimes at 3/4 am and dinner I struggle to make because my arms hurt and I get severe brain fog. I am definitely not at my worst but I am not 100...

Has anyone else experienced this before!? 🤔 Before going vegan 12+ years ago, no one ever worried about how much protein I ate—or my nutrition in general, lol. Now, the moment people find out you lift and eat plant-based protein, everyone suddenly becomes a doctor with a specialty in protein synthesis. As you all know, you can get all the protein and essential amino acids you need from a 100% cruelty-free, plant-based diet. I genuinely believe it’s more sustainable, better for long-term health, and—most important to me—supports the fair and ethical treatment of animals. That alone makes it worth it… or at the very least, worth everyone looking into. 🌱✌️

The first picture is my hair in its best condition, about December 2024. The middle picture is my hair at its worst condition, November 2025. The last picture is my hair now (February 2026). I take photos of my hair every 1-2 months to monitor it. I ended up bleaching my hair in April 2025, most likely more than it could take (prior to the first picture I was dying my hair a bunch, but never reacted like this), and I think it started breaking. I cut my hair short again and changed my hair routine. I now use Ouai Clarifying Shampoo once a week, Caffeine shampoo once every 1-2 weeks, Olaplex Fine Shampoo and Conditioner, Bonding Oil, and Milkshake 10 in 1 serum. I will sometimes use coconut ...

Context: 29F, 71 kg (43% fat) 152 cm. I've been on a 1200 calorie deficit for almost a year now (average of 100g protein daily). I have moderate physical activity - started from 5k steps a day to 12k now and I do strength training started from twice a week to 4x a week now. Scale isn't moving for 6 months now. And of course there's PCOS. I've started taking supplements like Vit D3, Omega 3, Magnesium, myo-inositol, d-chiro inositol, and coq10 just this year. (Some silver lining: my Evolt scan says my visceral fat is in the optimal range now from 89 cm2 to 78 cm2 in 6 months.) Goal is of course to bring down fat to 20-30% range and be around 45-50 kg. On refeed / diet bre...

The next morning the red team was up early to start prep for service, with Liam saying in his confessional that it was time for him to give the morning report on Hell’s Kitchen, saying that the weather outside was…well, he didn’t know how the weather was because he hadn’t been outside in quite a while, so he couldn’t tell you what the weather was like. Despite Liam’s slight hilarity about the situation, the rest of the red team wasn’t so keen about not having left Hell’s Kitchen, with Freya saying in her confessional that she was getting sick and tired of not leaving Hell’s Kitchen and she wanted to go outside for the first time in a long time, saying that she was getting s...
