r/diet

I recently picked up a book called the nozempic diet by Kim Pearsons. I was super close to just going ahead and ordering a weightloss jab and my partner begged me to give my weightloss just one more year.

I picked up the book because it’s written by a nutritionist who talks about naturally stimulating satiety and the GLP hormones as well as helping insulin sensitivity and regulating blood sugars.

I’m only 4 days in but I genuinely cannot belief how eating minimally processed foods and focusing on fat and protein has helped. I’m not counting calories right now because the book doesn’t require you to but my food noise is SO quiet.

As an example on food this is what I’ve eaten today

Breakfast - natural yoghurt with strawberries, hazelnuts and chia seeds

Breakfast - tuna, leafy greens, sweetcorn, tomatoe, cucumber with olive oil and lemon juice

Dinner - chicken, mixed vegetables, soy sauce, cauliflower rice

Snack - apple

I weighed in at 300lbs on Sunday and I would have looked at this meal and thought, where’s the rest?? I love my carbs and sugar. But I’m not even craving them right now.

Not to mention how much better I feel without all the processed junk.

Will post an update on Sunday with how much I’ve lost.

Been gyming for almost two years. Was 120lbs due to smoking a lot and now I’m 145ish. Try to fast once a week which brings me down to 143lbs. I have more muscle now but it’s the diet part I bloody hate.

I eat 3 eggs a day a protein shake and a chicken breast with either Mac and cheese or a garden salad. I can do that maybe for two weeks max and then I’ll have a day off work and eat sushi and ice cream and destroy all progress. My days off are ruining my progress.

Help

So i always rinsed them right before I eat them and thats it but they are spoiling so fast. Especially the strawberries. I see reels of people washing them with vinegar or baking soda...then waiting for everything to dry.....then packing them in certain containers to keep them fresh. So I tried and man its work...5 mins to soak...then rinse thoroughly then dry and I really cant get them completely dry. So im curious what is the fastest way to get this done?

I'm 31M, 120kg and 5'10. I think my maintenance is around 2500 kcal, so I'm doing a 1800 kcal diet consisting on:

Breakfast

- 1 blueberry, banana, soy protein shake

- 1 whole grain bun with anchovies or tuna

- 1 tsp chia seeds

Lunch:

- 1 bonito filet

- 100g lentils

- 50g avocado

- tomato and broccoli salad

- 1 tbsp vinegar and extra virgin olive oil

- red onions and garlic

Dinner:

- 4 eggs

- 100g lentils

- 1 tomato

- 50g avocado

- 1 tbsp vinegar and extra virgin olive oil

- a pinch of salt

(Idk if this is the right subreddit for this, of not can someone point me in the right direction)

5'11, 225 lbs, currently going though HRT (mtf started 3 months ago) My goal is around 2500 kcal, 410g carbs, 100g fat, 165g protein

Today i ate 4,600 kcal, 560g carbs, 193g fat, 172g protein. (Alot of the fat was from a breakfast honey bun). I use a tracking app and log every bite i take so the information is as accurate as i can get.

My last meal (2 full cups of curry chicken and rice, a banana, an apple, and 4 bottles of water) was less than 2 hours ago and im already starving again to the point of very mild hunger pains.

Im not a very active person, i do inventory and delivery for my job and stoped working out due to cost over 5 months ago, so im not really burning alot of kcal from moving.

So why am i still starving every night? A few months ago i would eat 1 meal a day at McDonald's of less than 2000 kcal and be fine, now that im eating 3 meals a day and cutting back back on fast food im constantly starving.

Can you guys give me some advice about diet?(beginner)

What I can eat and what I can't stuff like that

i (F) successfully hit my weight loss goals for the most part, all but a few kilos. i’d like to lose those few kilos as well but i think im experiencing fatigue as i’ve been dieting since january. the last month ive been off and on in a deficit and then days hitting around maintenance. i used to average 10000 steps a day for a few months but its just been way too hot for me to walk. so even as ive been relatively sedentary for a couple weeks i can go a few days in a deficit and then have to eat maintenance the coming days. i struggle with OCD and tackled my binge eating (as a teen i struggled w anorexia and then in college binging) and i have pretty bad anxiety im somehow going to gain almost 13kg as soon as i quit tracking my calories.

has anyone else been through this and can give advice? how long should you eat at maintenance until you want to shed the few kilos off? i also am struggling with body image issues as even though i’ve lost all of this weight, i look different now in my mid twenties than i did when i was this weight about 4 years ago, and the beautiful female body is eternally changing in life. though i know that my eating habits have drastically changed and i can control my eating / hunger cues a lot better.

46yo female with T2 diabetes. Just came off Mounjaro (prescribed specifically to combat high A1C) after reaching my doctor recommended weight and A1C. I'm trying to get the proper nutrients but it's been challenging.

Aiming for 50/30/20 carbs, protein, fat%, and 25gm of fiber.

For breakfast I made the following:

2 large eggs

1/3 cup regular cottage cheese

1 Morningstar Farms Spicy Blackbean Burger patty

1 tbsp Chia seeds mixed with 3 tbsp Roasted Green Chili Salsa

All scrambled together.

Macros: 24g Carbs, 23.5g Fat, 32.8g Protein (21/50/29%) 444 calories.

I can't eat it all. I barely got a third of it down and I'm so full. How do people eat the appropriate amount of nutrients when the meals are so filling? I know I could leave off the chia seeds but even then, it's so much food.

Looking for advice, discussion, recommendations.

It’s in the title! Does anyone know of a good diary app that doesn’t use AI? It feels like they’re all just swimming with it and I HATE that.
Thanks!

i've been trying to make my regular meals more filling because i get hungry again pretty quickly after eating. i'm not looking to do anything extreme or cut out specific foods. i mostly want to build meals that keep me satisfied for longer so i'm not thinking about food all day.

i've tried making my portions bigger, but that doesn't always help, and i'm still figuring out what works best for me.

what changes have actually made your meals more filling and helped you stay satisfied between meals?

i mainly eat salmon, chia seeds, and nuts for omega 3's. also take fish oil supplements

i'm a bit wary of eating salmon every day because of mercury

how do you guys structure eating enough omega 3's? what else should i eat?
