Can someone recommend some meals for me? I need a high protein and high fiber diet… I have constipation issues and my gastroenterologist says to use Metamucil but I want to get off of it with natural fiber. I also am trying to lose 15 pounds.
I am very picky though. I don’t like most vegetables or berries :/ so ‘starter’ vegetables would be preferred. I hate eggs other than hard boiled.
I like beans and avocado if that helps…
I’m trying to figure out how to dose a multivitamin, extra Vitamin D, and soluble fiber (psyillium husk). I am D deficient and I think the fiber helps me with cholesterol and regularity.
I used to take them all at the same time with food. But then I did some reading and I think the fiber could be absorbing some of the vitamins, especially the fat soluble ones.
Now what I do is take 2 fibers first thing in the morning and the D and multivitamin later on with a meal. Does that make sense? Logic is I usually go #2 in the morning so fiber has the “longest” to work taking it in the morning.
Most fiber dosing guidelines say take with lots of water. I do that mostly.
Hi all! I detest myself for asking this, but I’m going to put my guilt aside and just go ahead. If I have a green smoothie daily, likely in place of an afternoon snack, would this be beneficial to my health?
I’m 32, M, a bit overweight and no other physical health concerns. I suffer from depression which I’m on medication and in treatment for. However, the depression is making exercise and cooking more challenging than it used to be. Ideally I’d have a balanced whole food diet, but that’s the long term goal. I find myself going for fast food in times of stress or exhaustion, and other times eating the usual chicken, veggies and rice.
I know there is no such thing as a “if I eat a head of broccoli for breakfast and have a whole cake for lunch, it’ll balance out, right?” However I’m trying to leave behind my “all or nothing” mentality and maybe a small, cheats way of adding more vegetables and probably some fruits to my diet could be a good start to helping me get back on track. I just worry with all the over inflated like, “green smoothies will stop you from ever dying! They’re clearing up all these toxins that don’t actually exist” claims. Hence, why I ask.
Thanks for your kindness and grace. 💕
