PROTEIN FOODS Locations

I don’t know how best to organize this. I guess I will just start with the basics of the plan I followed and then add some detail and commentary.  Disclaimer: I am just a 41 year old dude who really loves Type 2 fun. I am not a coach. I am not trying to sell you a training course. I am not claiming this is the absolute best, most optimal, most science-based plan. All I can say is that this plan worked really well for me. At no time during the expedition did I feel like my physical fitness or level of conditioning were going to be the limiting factor in my success.  As simply as possible, the basic structure is this: Monday: Pull lift, short cardio Tuesday: Long cardio Wednesda...

Hi everyone, I had my very first laser session two weeks ago. I have my second session for my Brazilian and glutes on the 14th, followed by my inner thighs and underarms on the 21st. I’m currently wondering if I’m experiencing a post-treatment flare. My left underarm had been quiet for a while, but a new flare just came to the surface while my right arm that does flare is quiet (knock on wood). To be honest, I think it might be from the sheer amount of stress I’ve been under. I was officially diagnosed about a month ago, and since I also struggle with severe depression and anxiety, I’ve been crying almost every day and feeling overwhelmed. Has anyone else noticed flares popping up ...

Hi fellow CKD travellers—- I’m on the struggle bus with my much-loved, but super-frustrating kitty. She has had renal disease for a while, but it seemed manageable and things were relatively stable. Two months ago she got a stress UTI (which she hadn’t had for over a year, thanks to a cranberry/d-mannose supplement), and this UTI set in motion a cascade of events that I think made us a turn a corner with the kidney disease. (Note: the vet checked her kidney numbers though and there wasn’t indication of an “acute” event, but her numbers must have changed enough to make her feel worse). Anyway…fast forward to now, and she is on so many meds/supplements that I have a chart tryin...

Hi everyone! I have a 5-month-old male toy poodle 🐶 who’s healthy and growing well. He’s currently eating Hill’s Puppy (vet line), which we recently switched to and hoping will help some of his teary eye issues that previous food didn’t seem to improve. That said, I’d love to optimize his overall health, especially his coat/skin and things like teary eyes that many toy breeds struggle with. A few questions: • Is it okay to start something like fish oil / omega-3 supplements at 5 months for coat health? • What brands or specific products do you recommend for toy poodles? • Has anyone used supplements (or anything else) that helped with teary eyes? • If you thi...

Hey r/startups_promotion, I’m Dave, founder of StrideFuel. It’s an iOS nutrition + fitness tracker, but the thing I built it around is simple: after you log food, it tells you the **next best move** to still hit your goal. Most trackers stop at “here are your numbers.” StrideFuel looks at what you logged today (photo/voice/barcode/search/manual), your goal (fat loss, muscle, maintenance, GLP-1 support), and your activity via Apple Health, then gives plain-English guidance like: “You’re behind on protein, make dinner a protein anchor,” or “You’re already heavy today, here’s how to keep dinner tight and still land the day.” **What’s different** * It’s not a food di...

**The rules:** The food itself must be naturally round or spherical. You can cut round foods, but the original form counts (whole pizza is round, so pizza slices are fair game). Plates and bowls don't count - we're talking about the food itself and you have to actually survive nutritionally for 7 days. I'm thinking breakfast is going to be a lot of eggs, oranges, and blueberries. Lunch might be meatballs and cherry tomatoes. But dinner? Pizza everyday sounds good in theory... What's your game plan and think you'll make it the entire week?

Wasn’t famished but needed some carby-wrap comfort after deciding to give back my ex-fiancé’s ring he proposed with and got cold feet one month later. After 7 months of it lying in my jewellery box, and multiple thoughts of taking it to the pawn shop, I finally decided to give it back to him (gave it to his mother bc we haven’t spoken since the day we broke up). I **** men. I love this meal.

My dog is a 5 year old lab/hound/pit mix and unfortunately got diagnosed with IBD about two years ago. He's been on a VERY small amount of prednisone for nearly 2 years now (5 mg once per day and he's 117 pounds) and we're trying to ween him off of it for various reasons. We give him the Hills Science I/D food, add fish oil every day, and have tried a spray on him from our vet (can't remember the name) for dry skin. Unfortunately, his dandruff has just gotten worse even with baths and supplements and we're not sure what to do (and no offense to our vet, they haven't provided much help either). Anyone have any tricks or advice on how to handle coat/skin issu...

Most discussions around cocoa in biohacking focus on flavanol content, heavy metals, or brand comparisons. I want to float a more fundamental question: Is cocoa one of those rare bioactive foods where **small-scale processing may be inherently superior for functional outcomes**, not just for ethics or taste? From a mechanistic standpoint, several things stand out: * **Polyphenol form matters**: cocoa contains both free flavanols (catechins, low-DP procyanidins) and higher-molecular-weight, bound polyphenols associated with fiber/protein matrices. These fractions differ in bioavailability, astringency, and GI tolerance. * **Processing at scale optimizes yield and stability**, not bioavaila...

Brunswick Street Mission is a community organization in Halifax that supports individuals and families experiencing poverty through programs focused on dignity and care. They’re looking for Shopper Assistants to support their Food Market Program. Volunteers work directly with guests while they shop, offering conversation, helping them use their points across the market, sharing basic nutrition or menu ideas, and connecting them to other programs that may support their needs. This role runs Tuesday to Friday between 9:15 am and 2:30 pm, and volunteers can choose the days and times that work best for them. A criminal record check is required.

Hi everyone! I’d love to start a discussion around assumptions that seemed strange, impossible, or “against logic,” yet still reflected perfectly in your 3D. For the longest time, I assumed that no matter how much food I ate, I would always stay thin - and that assumption consistently reflected back to me. Another example: it’s a widely accepted belief in the nutrition and fitness world that you can’t get lean from workouts alone without changing your diet. But my assumption was that whenever I worked out, I automatically lost weight - and that’s exactly what happened, over and over again. Interestingly, the moment I started giving weight to “popular opinions” and changed ...

I’ve noticed that people around me have problems digesting high amounts of protein and they suffer from bloating and terrible gas from it. But for some reason I’ve never experienced any of this. I can eat up to 160g of protein a day which is 30g more than I’ll need which I’ll admit mostly consists of bars, whey and processed yogurts but it won’t impact me at all, I can handle it like I would any other food. Why is this?

Hello! I just joined this group and I’m looking for advice on weekly meal plans. I have two young children who aren’t super picky, but I’m definitely stuck in a food rut. We’ve been relying a lot on pasta meals because they’re cheap and easy, but I’m honestly tired of pasta at this point 😅 and I know it’s not the healthiest option. We eat a lot of salads and mostly stick to chicken for meat, but my husband is more of a meat guy than salads and lighter meals. I’m also curious about rice, is jasmine rice a healthy choice, or would brown rice be better? Is rice even considered healthy? I’ll be honest, this all started a few weeks ago when I went out to lunch with my very...

I know these have been around for a while, but I FINALLY got around to trying these. I love these so much! Really brings me back to my childhood days. 10/10
