PROTEIN FOODS Locations

During pg prep, we do not leave our house , sunlight expsoure is minimal. Most probably most of us have vit d def During my prep times i got my values checked and mine was in severe def range (9ng/ml). Recomemded regimen - Once a week 60kIU x 8wks if offically tested, otherwise one can take those tata1mg(or any other brand ) vitd/k2 combinations till neet and then get it checked. Same for b12 , my values were boderline, supplementing with 1500mcg for 8wks is good enough. Optionals- Omega 3 , Zn, calcium and Mg What i followed - post breakfast- methlycobalamin( 1500mcg), post lunch - 2 tabs of 600IU vitd and 55mcg vit k2 (so total would be 1200IU and around 110mcg k2) , 2 tabs of omega ...

When I started noticing more hair in the shower and on my brush a few months into GLP-1, I honestly assumed the medication was ruining my hair. I went digging through Cleveland Clinic articles, Mayo Clinic guidance, and the published research trying to figure out what was actually going on. What seems much more likely for a lot of us is the combination of rapid weight loss, lower appetite, and quietly falling short on protein and other key nutrients. So whether someone is searching hair loss on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, the bigger pattern seems pretty similar. The shedding is usually something called telogen effluvium. Cleveland Clinic says a noticeable percentage of GLP-1 use...

Everyone online is obsessing over taking expensive, high-CFU probiotics and pounding iced water all day for "hydration," completely ignoring basic gut mechanics. You're constantly wondering why you look six months pregnant 20 minutes after eating a "healthy" raw salad. The modern wellness industry treats bloating as a supplement deficiency. It’s not. It’s a mechanical failure of your digestive capacity. ​In clinical Ayurveda, we look at the core metabolic heat, known as Agni. When you dump cold water or raw, rough, porous foods into a weak digestive tract, you literally extinguish this metabolic fire. Your stomach enzymes are diluted and paralyzed right when y...

For reference Ive been working with this family for over a year for $15/hour, and as time has gone on more tasks and chores have been added to my plate. Food prepping carb, protein, veggies, all from scratch, ALL dishes, bottle prep, cleaning up after messes I didn’t make, cleaning all counters and more… another family had asked me to work for $20/hour for all the same tasks(even less) I do with my current NF plus a nanny share so potentially more, so I brought it up to them and I immediately got a rebuttal of $17/hour. I had to turn it down because that little of a difference doesn’t even cover HALF my gas tank and I go through a full tank of gas a week driving 45+ minutes to NK. The...

(This is a redo of my earlier post, it seems I needed to add more deets) I’ve been doing calisthenics for 3 years, I do them with weights to avoid plateaus and I cycle weekly between strength-based workouts (low reps, max weight) and hypertrophy-based ones (reps to failure or near failure, 80% of max). I do a PPL split, and while my workouts focus mainly on calisthenic movements, I also use free weights for isolation and leg exercises. I keep getting stronger with my lifts but my muscles haven’t grown for the past 6 months. I’m wondering if it’s because of my hyperthyroidism condition, which gives me a really fast metabolism. A benefit is having low enough body fat to see definitio...

yes, this tale is as old as time. i took my vyvanse for the first time in awhile and thought i was doing ok, until the hunger hit me like a brick a few minutes ago. my stomach genuinely hurts, indicating to me it is empty, but my appetite is non-existent. i am currently in transit and do not have access to any snacks or anything, plus nothing is feeling particularly appealing at this point anyway. from a nutrition/overall health perspective, whats the best thing i can eat, and on what schedule (ie start with liquids, wait a bit, then on to solid food)?

Basically title. My cat is only 5 but her creatinine sits pretty consistently in the 1.6-1.8 range. My understanding is that it’s not necessary at this stage to have her on a prescription diet but that some foods are better than others as far as keeping her kidneys supported. I currently give her a mix of Tiki Cat After Dark paté and Open Farm kibble (usually the turkey which seems to be quite high in phosphorus). Ideally I’d continue giving her a mix of wet and dry for cost reasons but I’m open to switching to wet completely. What foods do people who have supported their cats in the early stages of kidney disease recommend? Thanks very much in advance 🙏

Hello fellow zeppers! Want to start by saying I’m so happy that we have something like Zepbound. It has liberated so many of us from our old selves trapped in foreign body. I was about to hit 200 lbs. my joints back and knees were feeling the pain of carrying so much weight. There was just no energy to be a mom of 2 very active daughters. I also never would’ve imagined a life without food noises, food regret , food temptations, and on and on. It’s like no more brain clutter and I have space in my brain for important thing in life. I lift 4 days a week and 1 day is full cardio/ stairs. Nutrition part is solid after working with nutritionist. Wondering if anyone else is noticin...

I have been keeping a log of what I have been eating for the past two weeks now. I saw a specialist about this at an orthopedic Center and the specialist had said to write it down until I see him June 29. I get these feelings randomly in my leg after I eat anything it feels like inflammation, but I’m not sure why this happens. I recently went to my general doctor and he did a lot of bloodwork to my blood and he said my A1c levels are at a regular level. I don’t eat a lot of of sugar and I don’t eat fast food or anything like that. I will say, though I had a history of pre-diabetes and my highest weight was 230 pounds six years ago. I am 5 foot 23-year-old woman who weighs 125 pounds no...

Ive been thinking of adding a dietitian to my roster of “maybe this will help” after the week I had. I’ve been dealing with IBS-D (non-painful, little swelling or gas) for 1.5 years now. Lately I’ve been responding well to amitriptyline, probiotics and a fibre supplement. I’ve also been working with a counsellor who specializes in mind/gut connection. I was down to one or two bathroom visits a day with relatively normal, big bowel movements. I even went to Japan for two weeks and had \*zero\* problems. However this week I decided to try and reintroduce yogurt back into my diet and from Monday to Thursday, I went to the bathroom more but it was nowhere near as bad as it has been...

I’m new to this sub and also new to Reta. I started at 0.5 mg just to see how my body would react. The following week, I increased to 2 mg after reading that it was the starting dose used in clinical trials. I noticed some appetite suppression, but it wasn’t very strong. The next week, I went up to 2.5 mg, and that’s when the food noise finally stopped. However, I took another 2.5 mg earlier this week and now I’m experiencing no appetite suppression at all, along with a lot of cravings. I’ve been working out 3–4 times a week, tracking my calories, and consistently staying in a deficit. I’m also focusing on a high-protein, high-fiber diet. Despite all of this, I haven’t lost...

🍓INFO:🍓 ngl this was my first day not living off of protein shakes (sometimes in ninji creami ice cream format) and lots of supplements and electrolytes since undergoing surgery (gallbladder removal). I say this because my gallbladder issues required me to eat low fat diet as ordered by my medical team, and the ability to digest fat varies from person to person after surgery. So my diet in general is lower in fat (0g-30g max a day) unreleated to ed issues. My posts often include lots of low fat varients of things. I would never reccomend it long term because I have to take so many supplements. It also means I have to essentially have mini meals to space out the fat. I can't OMAD ...

Hey fellow herbalists! I’ve always been frustrated by how hard it is to find *actual* information on herbs online without hitting a paywall or a sketchy supplement ad. I'm a developer and herbalism enthusiast, so I spent the last few months digging through PubMed and clinical trials to map out exactly which herbs work best as alternatives to common over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. I thought I’d share the top 3 most evidence-backed swaps I found. Hopefully, this helps some of you in your own practice! **1. Alternatives to SSRIs / Anti-Anxiety meds (e.g., Lexapro, Xanax)** * **The Herb:** Ashwagandha (KSM-66 extract specifically) & L-Theanine * **The Science:** Ashwagandha...

Hi everyone, Would like some help with getting my adorable gelding to please finish his grain😂. He currently gets 2 medications and 3 supplements. He gets Purina Enrich, beet pulp, soaked alfalfa pellets, all made into a mash. I've tried removing the meds/supplements for a day, changing the ratio, removing beet pulp and alfalfa, making it a soup, leaving it dry, you name it, I've tried it. He does not have any conditions (not metabolic) with his stomach or mouth and he'll eat his grass and hay all day long, but every time we feed breakfast/dinner, he'll go to the food, eat like 4 bites then be like, "nah, I'll go back to my hay". If I were to guess, i...

Photos of further information, rashes, what i bring up, medication lists, obs from machine (view at your own discretion the lung stuff is a bit gross) I hope the first 7 images better explain my baseline and general symptoms. Theres also a tad of research that isnt entirely related to me but has similar issues. The rashes, lungs and obs are after the information and medications I am only 17, I do not have a carer nor guardian. I can’t/not allowed to drive and I am responsible for all of my own bills. I’ve experienced symptoms starting at age 7 like migraines and bone pain. I’m having a flare up(i think) my connective tissue disease is unspecified at the moment, waiting on speciali...

Fu Bao my puppies Thanks to everyone for your suggestions on my last post. I took Fubao to the hospital for a check up right after posting. She’s healthy except for being a bit malnourished, and we’re currently giving her nutritional supplements. I’m still training her to use the designated spot for potty. Yesterday she pooped right by my bathroom door and in front of my bed.
