as much of a PSA as this is a meme lol. don’t seek dietary advice from randos on the internet. everyone is different and the advice you see from @bonerfart@lemmypiss.xyz on !memes can be dangerous and should be taken with a grain of salt (metaphorically, not a dietary recommendation 😜). instead consider one or both of:
a) going to a health professional
b) seeking out and joining a trustworthy community (online or irl) who back themselves with medical research
Yeah. IMO variety is expensive because it’s usually cheaper to buy a few things in bulk.
I consulted a nutritionist before doing my first weight loss [1] because I wanted to make sure my diet was nutritionally sound. Surprisingly, it was fine, just too much of everything. Very surprising considering that I’m a picky eater with texture issues, but I’ll take it.
In contrast, my sister had to see a nutritionist to go on hormones and apparently her diet was nutritionally whack, so she had to make a bunch of changes.
Please God no (at least not raw)
[1] I put it back on when I went to engineering school, but I managed to keep it off for a couple years. Oh well. I’ll get around to losing it again soon.
Yeah weight is hard. I managed to lose a lot, but it’s a daily struggle. It’s hard to find self acceptance and love yourself where you’re at when your body feels so wrong. I don’t judge anyone by their weight, but it’s sure hard to direct that same acceptance toward myself. Sounds like you’re doing well, though.
I’m lucky that I like almost anything, so that makes me eat a lot of different things. I buy cheap stuff in bulk, but it’s not often the same things. Fresh foods are hard because they expire, so I buy a lot of foods that have a long shelf life such as carrots and potatoes. And I make my own frozen meals to take to work, including cheap frozen veggies which are still nutritious.
My husband has ADHD, and I find that he often has to eat different foods than I do. If he’s not craving something, he can’t tolerate it. He struggles more than I do, even with my heavy restrictions on what I can eat.
Yeah same here, but I’m at a weight where I’m exceeding weight limits of things like ladders, furniture, etc. And I’m in terrible physical shape on top of all that. It’s really more of a “tactical” thing for me at this point. Just gotta get it done.
Thank you. Could be better, could be a lot worse. I’m still a social disaster.
Me too. The other day I made like half my meals for the entire summer in one giant cook.
