Any recommendations? I was considering Heart & Soil and Prime for their beef organs, but it doesn’t have all the vitamins.

I’m specifically looking for calcium and vitamin D

Hi!
I want to start eating more Whole Foods but all I see if yogurt bowls and oatmeal and I really want savory breakfast ideas. Maybe some that include tomatoes?

Do you guys have any savory breakfast ideas?

January 1st — meal prepped, cut sugar, replaced rice with cauliflower, told everyone I was "changing my lifestyle."

January 9th — someone brought samosas to the office. I had four. The cauliflower is still in my fridge. It has a name now. I call it Regret. 🧫

It is now JULY. My new year new me era lasted exactly 8 days.

Honestly though? July feels like a second chance. Mid-year reset. We don't talk about it enough.

So what broke YOUR streak this year? Drop it below

I'm talking about things that look and taste like fast food, comfort food, or any typical 'guilty pleasures' but are, in some way, healthy (talking generally higher in protein, lower in fat, sugar, or calories, or has really high nutritional content). Or could even be your 'this isn't as bad as you might expect' meal.

I'm not really talking about recipe remakes of fast food where you use greek yogurt/cottage cheese high protein replacements to make something healthy, but I will take things like "xyz actually can be really healthy if you make it yourself". For the most part, I'm talking about foods or meals as is that are genuinely a classic comfort but are actually healthy (or just not that bad for you). Of course, a lot of things are great in moderation, so let's pretend that this is a meal you can eat often and/or a lot of and it still hold up.

For example, chicken nuggets/tenders. Depending on how prepared, fried, and if breaded, these can be pretty healthy because it's basically just pure lean protein- major major caveats though on how prepared. And, even if prepared unhealthily, I still think it's still a great pick compared to other fast food options.

Could also just be personal opinions on how tasty some healthy recipes are. Like black bean corn salsa/cowboy caviar is so so tasty to me I often forget 'wow this is just a bowl of veggies and beans'

I don’t eat dairy because it hurts my stomach, I don’t like the way pork tastes, I don’t eat red meat because of a religion I used to live, and I don’t eat dyes and artificial flavoring and such because they’re linked to causing cancer. I’ve had this diet since I was 15, I’m now 20 and I cannot stand when people give me foods knowing I don’t eat them or tell me to stop being picky. It infuriates me so much, I will actually cut people off for it like can you just respect my fucking diet? I also am so curious why people act like that, I understand it can be a pain when going out to eat but it sounds like my problem not yours…

I'll start with mine.

Btw, some of the meals you make here look great.

The good:

1. Kale with flaxseed meal and pepper. Microwaved for a minute. It makes me feel, after I eat it, warm and loved and cared for. It really does something for me.
2. Raw unpeeled carrots.
3. Eggs, particularly in the morning. Supposedly you should be getting more protein in in the morning, also.

The bad:

1. Alcohol.
2. Sugar. I never drink any soda. When I eat something with added sugar or something with simple carbs, like white bread, I feel bad. I might also have a mild celiac thing; I remember seeing some variant on 23andme. Sometimes something like a Costco croissant really brings me into that sludgy bad-feeling territory. But basically added sugar or sugar that is quickly absorbed.
3. Sometimes certain meats, I guess, like hotdogs? Processed meat? Sometimes very fatty wild salmon but not always, might be something else going with that, like how it's cooked. I don't eat much beef; I read once that the glycocalyx, something that coats our cells, is slightly different in beef, but it's similar enough so that our body mistakes it for what it normally uses, and this leads to issues.

i used to think eating healthy meant completely changing my diet. Turns out,the biggest improvement came from one simple habit: adding protein and fiber to breakfast.

Instead of grabbing cereal or toast by itself, I started pairing food like Greek yogurt with berries, eggs with oatmeal, or cottage cheese with fruit.

The biggest difference wasn't weight loss, it was that i wasn't hungry again two hours later, and I stopped reaching for random snacks before lunch.

It's funny how one small change can snowball into better choices for the rest of the day.

What's one nutrition habit that gave you the most noticeable results without feeling like a major lifestyle change too?

Don’t really like Coke Zero and the like. Wondering what other alternatives people like for refreshing fizzy drinks that are still healthy, thanks :)

so what are you guys eating before and after doing a Solidcore class? i’m trying to figure out how to make my stomach flatter but every time i finish class im insanely hungry 😂😂😂

I need help in coming up with a diet plan or meal plan that best suits my new health needs. So I now have to cut on sugar, acidic foods, fizzy drinks and "artificial spice". I do not know where to start because I have a bit of a bad eating habit where I dont eat, greasy looking food draws back my appetite. I love fruits and everything healthy honestly but I have no idea how to even start with one hence I need help. Maybe a proper meal plan or diet plan will help me with my health and eating habits. Suggestions of iron rich food is welcome as i have a deficiency. Another disclaimer to help with knowing what to suggest is that i hate eggs but i do eat food with eggs in it like baked goods and mayonnaise. Please help me and thank you!!

I have a huge sweet and I need to have something sweet after lunch and dinner. How do you guys manage, if you have the same

I feel like I'm so addicted to sugar. All the people I know don't eat sweet things daily, they don't feel crazily happy when they are offered crisps or chocolate.
And I do! I feel happy and it's always a high knowing after work I'll have something sweet during my break or at home (that also goes for mid healthy food that's just really tasty tho, but I just 80% crave sugar).

How can I stop that? I constantly learn more about how it harms the body and your health and I really want to treat myself better.

Doing a "one month no sugar" challenge doesn't work because I can't control me and my family that I live with offers so much sweet things that it makes it even harder to resist.

What are your experiences, tips and what improved after cutting sugar (I need motivation) 😭😭
