PROTEIN FOODS Locations

Hi cat people, I eat a plant-based diet for ethical reasons and have been reevaluating what I feed my cats. To be clear, I am NOT planning on switching them to plant-based food. Unfortunately there simply have not been adequate studies to indicate one way or the other if nutritionally complete commercial plant-based cat food causes any adverse health effects, and I love them too much to risk it. HOWEVER, the brand I have been feeding them (Wellness) is one of those somewhat more expensive brands that advertises using high-quality meat like what humans who eat meat would consume. This used to be a selling point for me, but now... no longer is. It occurred to me that, all else being equal, I...

**A 2-1-2 carb cycle is a weekly rotation pattern where you eat two low-carb days, one high-carb day, and two more low-carb days before repeating. This structure keeps your metabolism from adapting to calorie restriction while burning stored fat on low days and refueling muscles and hormones on high days.** I started putting clients on the 2-1-2 pattern back in 2014 after watching too many of them crash and burn on straight low-carb plans. The dropout rate was brutal. People would last three weeks, lose some water weight, then binge on Friday night because their willpower tank hit empty. The 2-1-2 changed that almost overnight. Clients stuck with it because the high-carb day always sat clos...

If you've ever abandoned a half-used tub of chalky, bloating-inducing protein powder — this is for you. After digging through ingredients, certifications, and real reviews, here are the three best protein powders for women on the market right now. # [***** Nutrition Whey](https://go.shopmy.us/p-47979934) — The Gold Standard The unflavored version has exactly one ingredient: grass-fed whey protein from pasture-raised cows. No fillers, no artificial sweeteners, no mystery. At 25g of protein per serving and NSF Certified for Sport, it's the pick registered dietitians recommend most for women who want clean, science-backed protein that actually delivers. If you tolerate dairy, th...

Starting stats: 32M, 5'10, 215 lbs. Current: 185 lbs over 7 months. I failed at every diet I tried because they all required changing everything at once. Keto, intermittent fasting, calorie counting. I'd last two weeks max before burning out and going back to old habits. The approach that finally worked was embarrassingly simple. I only changed lunch. Breakfast stayed the same. Dinner stayed the same. Snacks stayed the same. I just replaced my usual fast food lunch with a meal prepped container of protein, vegetables, and rice. Every Sunday I'd cook a batch of chicken ******, roasted vegetables, and brown rice. I'd portion it into five containers. Monday through ...

I try to do OMAD, but I can't manage to eat my maintenance calories. But that's secondary, my main concern is the nutrition here. Are you able to consume all the essentials like protein, fiber, minerals etc (I'm not an expert, so if there are more, please consider them too)? Additional questions for Vegans and vegetarians that do OMAD, how do you manage to consume your meal during your 1-2 hr eating window? Because from my observation, including meat makes it easier to hit the target amount.

I'm in Arizona, visiting family, and got some scoop on Kodys new teeth. I was at an event and my niece introduced me to her friend- who is Kodys dental hygienist. She told me that he had been complaining about severe sensitivity, and rapid discoloration. She asked about "lifestyle changes" that could have contributed to figure out what to suggest- he went on a rant about his wives and family! She listened, then clarified that she was asking about foods, medications, etc. That could have impacted his teeth- not his personal issues! He continued to rant about the family and said "isn't stress a factor with your teeth?". Eventually, she did find out he is a lemon a...

When a Rare Responder is prescribed a broad-spectrum antibiotic (like Augmentin), it’s like dropping a nuclear bomb on a very delicate ecosystem. Here is how to manage the fallout while minimizing loss to your metabolic baseline. **1. The GABA-Gap (The Brain Buzz)** * Many antibiotics (especially penicillins and quinolones) act as GABA antagonists. They sit on your calm receptors, leaving you feeling wired, spacey or “unfiltered” (saying things out loud that you normally wouldn’t). * Double down on **Magnesium** – it’s the cofactor that helps GABA work. If you feel floaty, your brain is likely begging for Magnesium to stabilize the neuronal membranes. **2. The Sulfur Side-Ques...

I have come up with an idea for an extraterrestrial life form, and I would like feedback on how realistic, and how interesting it is. So, after listening to a Universe Today podcast asking why we don't see evidence of civilizational life in the universe that seemed to assume a lot of human motivations for space travel, I went back to basics, looking first at the bare minimum, then drawing from real nonhuman life to try to create a plausibly spacefaring species that's not just reskinned information age humanity. If there's "alien life," why would they even care about conquest or discovery? Basics to reach spacefaring include at least motility, because otherwise they...

So I haven’t been vegan for very long, just 4 months, but I’ve been questioning some of what I have been believing and worried about potential health risks. Veganism has helped my blood sugar regulate much better, but I believe I can accomplish the same outcome while eating animal products as long as I keep my fiber high and saturated fat low. Protein honestly is a struggle. I have to supplement with a protein shake (that tastes awful) just to meet the lower end of my protein needs. And then I think about how plants don’t offer as much complete proteins as easily found in meat. My b12 is fine with supplementation, but I would continue while eating meat because even before it was on t...

Ever get that gut feeling you’re wasting your 20s? Like everyone else is “ahead” in life while you’re just figuring out how to adult? Society glorifies the hustle, relationships, and “living your best life” in your 20s, but no one talks about how confusing and overwhelming it actually is. And the online advice out there? TikTok is flooded with influencers claiming to have life all figured out in 60-second clips. Spoiler: Most of them don’t. So here’s a crash course in lessons I wish someone had sat me down with when I was navigating this decade of chaos. These insights aren’t magic—they won’t “fix” life overnight—but they’re grounded in research, books, and har...

Pertinent medical history: 38, F. I have IBS and a long standing history of kidney stones and UTIs. I have had multiple surgeries for stones. I have been on a low sodium diet with a medical clinic for 6 months, I make almost everything from scratch, and have lost over 60 lbs. I still have a lot of excess weight to lose, but as far as diet being a contributing factor, I am not eating much processed food and follow a high animal protein and vegetable diet. I do not have diabetes or prediabetes. I do not have CKD. I have borderline HTN and on a low dose med, but numbers have been running in the 120s/70s-80s for months. My mother, grandmother, and great grandmother all had endometriosis. My aun...

I’ve had CU for nearly 5 years now and it’s always a struggle I’ve dealt with but as of recently it seems to have gone away. Now this isn’t the first time it has “gone away” but that’s because I stopped doing the steps I took previously which further makes me think this is the real legit plan. Now before I say the steps I just want to say I don’t know for sure if this fixes it permanently or if you need to continue doing these steps for a very long time to fix it permanently. Medication steps: Yes this is a lot of pills, it has to be prescribed which can be difficult and it might cost a lot so I don’t expect anyone to get all of these but all of these pills help a lot. Fi...

Ben bu işi biraz takıntı seviyesinde yapan biriyim diyebilirim, o yuzden yag oranini dusururken kas kaybetmemek benim icin cidden gerekli bir sey. Ilk ogrendigim ve en cok fark yaratan sey su oldu: fazla agresif acik acarsan vucut sana ihanet ediyor. Kilo veriyorsun ama aynaya baktiginda duz ve kutlesiz gorunuyorsun. O yuzden ben hicbir zaman acigi abartmiyorum, genelde maintenance’imin %15 altinda kaliyorum. Disardan bakana yavas gibi gozukuyor ama kaslar dolu kaliyor, guc dusmuyor, asil farki burada goruyorsun. Protein konusunu da baya ciddiye aliyorum. Standart tavsiyeler var ama ben definasyon doneminde proteini yuksek tutunca bariz fark gordum. Yaklasik 2.2–2.5 g/kg civarina cik...

I have not been diagnosed with IC, but I'm trying to figure out what is going on with me to kind of direct where to get help. So I wanted to hear from people who have IC and see if any of this could be related. Pertinent medical history: 38, F. I have IBS and a long standing history of kidney stones and UTIs. I have had multiple surgeries for stones. I have been on a low sodium diet with a medical clinic for 6 months, I make almost everything from scratch, and have lost over 60 lbs. I still have a lot of excess weight to lose, but as far as diet being a contributing factor, I am not eating much processed food and follow a high animal protein and vegetable diet. I do not have diabetes ...

I recently stumbled upon Theda GLP-1 while browsing Amazon and comparing various GLP-1 supplements. What caught my eye was its science-backed, patented formulation from a low-key brand that isn't overhyped or widely talked about. It genuinely worked for me after 3 months paired with a balanced vegetarian protein diet and workouts—I dropped 10-12 lbs the right way (mostly belly fat), regained sustained energy, lifted my low mood, regulated my delayed periods, and felt motivated again despite eating less before with no results. The magnesium helped me stay calm too. Still losing weight steadily—hope it helps you as well! Check it out yourself

Hey everyone, I’m 22, 5'7", and around 82 kg. I’d describe myself as skinny fat. My arms and lower legs are pretty thin, but I carry most of my fat around my chest, stomach, waist, and thighs. From what I’ve read, it seems like body recomposition is the right approach for me. I don’t want to get super bulky or anything, I just want to look lean with a decent amount of muscle. My current plan is to start going to the gym 3 days a week, with a gap day in between for some cardio, mobility exercises and stuff. I’m thinking of doing a push, pull, legs split. I also know protein is important. Ideally I should be eating more, but realistically with my situation (I live in a...

Just got diagnosed with a milk allergy. Well potential one. Basically, I've had eczema and stomach problems for at least a decade along with tons of acne. I got the scratch test done for the top most allergic foods and the only one that got a hive was the milk one. Now my doc did say it could be a false positive, but I have steered clear of pizza since my last episode of vomiting and nausea. I know false positives are possible! So I just want to try cutting out milk products for a few months and see if my issues go away. However... milk is in everything. My most common milk containing foods were: * Chocolate * Coffee Creamer * Hot Chocolate * Mac and Cheese * Instant Noodles All o...

Hi everyone. About a month ago, I posted here feeling completely terrified about whether or not to even try to recover. The responses I got from this community honestly gave me the push I needed to start. So, first of all—thank you. A quick update: I did it. I started medication, and with the help of my older sister (who has been acting as my recovery coach/crisis manager), I’ve spent the last few weeks eating in a surplus. I started challenging my fear foods, and I finally felt like I was making real, terrifying, but actual progress. But yesterday, we hit a massive wall with the medical system here in the Czech Republic. We went to a clinical nutritional therapist for a check-in. Ins...
