LIPOZEM Is the Natural Metabolism Boost You've Been Missing! REVIEW

[malook-pharma-01]

[trophyprincess]

Here are some tips that have helped me stay sane in the face of my body dysmorphia and disordered eating habits.

Positivity time! This one's for all the ladies out there struggling with their bodies.

Body dysmorphia causes changes to visual areas of the brain. Your brain is literally lying to you. You are hallucinating. No, seriously. This is SO SO IMPORTANT. Look, if you have an ED then chances are, you may very well have legitimate body dysmorphic disorder. Your brain may be warping and distorting the image in the mirror. It's why everyone around you keeps saying how thin you are, but all you can see in the mirror is flab. It's a neurophysiological thing. (Most of the literature on BDD seems to pertain to cases regarding the patient's facial features or similar, rather than in the context of body size in ED patients, though.)

One binge won't undo your progress. Everyone fucks up sometimes. Don't dwell, don't ruminate, just pick yourself up the next day and keep going! This applies to "binges" in the proper clinical sense, as well as 4n4 "binges" that are more aptly described as simply "overeating." I occasionally will give myself a "free day" once a month or so, or if it's a holiday or something.

If you fast and restrict, take a good multivitamin, plus a calcium supplement! I also take thiamine to be safe. Being thin and undereating are associated with osteoporosis risk later in life, so calcium is a must! You need to make sure you're getting all of the critical micronutrients your body needs to function.

Exercise, especially cardio, helps with dopamine regulation. I have industrial strength ADHD-PI, ymmv. I also find that exercise bike, walking, or even pacing constantly = STIMMY STIMMY STIM TIME STIMS, MUST STIM, MORE STIM, CANNOT BE STILL, FUCK YOUR QUIET HANDS. Again, ymmv, fuck quiet hands, all my ND homies hate quiet hands.

Strengthening/resistance exercises help prevent osteoporosis later in life. 20-30 minutes 3-5x/week of yoga or pilates is great for this!

THC gummies are pretty low calorie. Shoutout to drugs other than alcohol for not having calories! (I use cannabis and hallucinogens, not big on hard drugs though.)

If you do drink, there are low cal options, but please moderate and try to follow CDC guidelines and avoid frequent binge drinking!! Guys, susceptibility to addiction runs in families. Also, struggling with impulse control aspects of binging may cooccur sometimes with susceptibility to alcohol abuse and addiction. I like vodka with diet tonic water, gin and tonic with diet tonic water, and vodka cosmos with diet 5 cal cranberrry "juice!" White Claw and similar hard seltzers are also great. Personally, I avoid drinking alone, don't drink all that often, and take care to be responsible and cautious. Ymmv, especially if you're still in early adulthood and just now starting to really experiment with substances!

When you do eat, make sure to get enough protein and fats! Carbs, you can take or leave. No one ever died from lack of carbohydrates, oddly enough. Protein and fat, though? I've had seizures due to low blood protein (combined with an accidental double dose of bupropion, to be fair). Rabbit starvation is a thing. This is especially important to pay attention to if you're vegetarian or vegan! Egg whites, chicken, tuna and other fish, olives, chickpeas, nuts, and beans are all good low calorie sources of protein and fats. (Olives, legumes, and especially nuts are energy dense though, so moderation is key.)

Enjoy the nice, healthy, low calorie foods that you do eat. It's okay to enjoy food, even if it's safe foods like light salads or cauliflower rice with vegetables.

Seek out social support and harm reduction advice. One thing people overlook about the whole "pr0 4n4" thing is that these communities are key sources of social support and harm reduction information for people who struggle with EDs.

Hello 👋 when I was trying to get muscles a few years back I struggled with getting enough protein (I was aiming for 1gm/pound of bodyweight). As a vegetarian how much do you rely on supplements vs your regular meals?

Also if you ever wanna share some of your fav vegetarian recipes I’d appreciate it.

Hi!

To me it looks like you might actually have been aiming for too much protein. The most efficacious amount of protein that you can consume is 70% of your desired body weight in grams of protein. While soy is a complete protein, it is important to consider other sources of protein that have complimentary amino acid profiles. Whey protein is a decent compliment to soy, and eggs are the gold standard for anabolic proteins.

Consistency is key to any sort of anabolism. You should be training your muscle groups to total failure at least one time per week. You should also avoid any systemic inflammation reduction (i.e., from NSAIDs like ibuprofen) as inflammation is the key mediating factor that leads to muscle growth. Additionally, check your hormones and consider hormonal optimization. 9 hours of sleep, avoidance of stress, plenty of sex, and the right window of calories is key. You should be eating between 250-500 calories more than you burn in order to have enough energy left over to build muscle. Good fats are very important as they improve HDL cholesterol which is the number one source of cholesterol for hormone synthesis. Finally, if your body is screaming for rest, do not exercise. It's key to rest when you need to rest so your muscle building can catch up. Overworking yourself will kill your body's ability to recover, meaning that there won't be any muscle growth.

Omelets and tofu are the best. Press out all the water in the tofu, put on soy sauce and a little corn starch that you season, and toss it in the air fryer with a vegetable. Smoothies are also great because they allow you to ingest a lot of protein powder (just make sure to drink them slowly). Typically I have one protein bar and 2-4 scoops of whey protein per day in addition to everything else.

Hope this helps,

Drew

Two Weeks Now

I've been doing things for the cholesterol reduction now for two weeks. I wish there was a way that I could self test at home, a la diabetes style test, but for blood fat. Million dollar idea there. Anyway.

After I had some time to digest what the nutritionist had been talking about, I realized that things were no where near as terrible as what I thought it was. My risk of heart attack/stroke is less than 5%, my heart is a year younger than my body, my blood sugar is fine, HDL levels are good, other non-HDL and non-LDL blood fats are fine. Literally everything else other than the LDL being a little high is all that's going on.

I can't even begin to describe how relieved I was when I heard those things. But my knowing myself, I knew that I was going to be less careful. In a way with relief comes indulgence, but another part of me is still worried because what if they're wrong.

There's an app I downloaded and paid for called MyNetDiary because it calculates a ton of things for you, and I mean, in for a penny in for a pound at this rate. Why not realize that my vitamin c is also ridiculously low while I'm worried that my heart is going to give out imminently?

I'm only being mildly facetious, this is just how I roll. The awareness that I need to not become completely obsessed is really big. I can obsess very easily over things and it can take months for me to get over being that way. It stops me from from doing a lot of things because I worry about it. The app is helpful, though, I will say that. I've been using it for about two weeks now and I do like the little report that it gives me at the end of the week that outlies the WEEKLY items rather than just DAILY. Daily kind of drives me nuts because I hate seeing any red charts, even orange is upsetting to me.

I'm trying to "win" cholesterol.

On Friday last week I had decided that I'd been doing well with keeping all of my saturated fats below my goals for the week, and basically having no trans fats whatsoever (as was directed and I've actually been quite diligent about adhering to). I decided that I could have a little bit of leeway and ate some less healthful things.

Prior to this I became a little weight obsessed. Okay, a lot weight obsessed. For the majority of my life I weighed 98lbs (I know, basically nothing). Once I hit 39 it started going up, and then it was hanging around 104lbs for a while. Within the last two to three months it seemed to start rising constantly, regardless of what was going on. My heaviest was 113lbs which was really weird for me. I know it's not an unhealthy weight, but I was approaching a 20lbs difference and it kind of made me a little nervous, because nine of those pounds came on really rapidly.

One of the things I noticed right away when I started on a healthful eating journey was that my weight went back down within a couple of days. I truly don't believe that this had anything to do with hormones, time of day, anything like that as I have religiously been keeping track of this. Why look into it? Well, because I like to prepare myself for the worst, I really thought I might have a fast growing tumour, okay? I'm not proud of that thought process at all, but that's where my mind was headed. I was glad when I had my physical and there were no giant, 9lb tumours hanging around in my midsection. It helped me realize that I was probably just getting perimenopausal weight gain. That also sucked, but way less than tumours.

So, I'm eating, taking supplements, vitamins, all that jazz, and actually eating more calories than before (although I should stress that these are healthy fats and calories from nuts and seeds instead of unhealthy from fried foods and dairy), and I'm fully expecting to go up more. I wouldn't say that I'm completely sedentary, but I don't have the most active lifestyle up until this point (desk jockies unite!), but again - making steps. Again, weight went down. There's a point, I promise.

So I decide to have a day where I'm not that careful. Still eat loads more vegetables than I'm used to, but indulge in a venti Starbucks Chai Latte, other snacks, crackers and things like that. Literally overnight my stomach started hurting so badly (thanks IBS) and I gained a solid 4lbs back. Almost immediately.

It really put a lot of things into perspective, honestly. That my eating has way more to do with me than I thought that it ever did. I don't enjoy food the way most other people. I eat because I'm hungry, I like some flavours, but I don't dream about food, I'm never excited to eat something, it's just a means to an end for me. I don't treat it medicinally like I should be. It goes to show me that while I've made strides to mentally focus on one thing at a time and to increase mental mindfulness, I need to extend that into other realms in my life, like food and eating.

I also, really, really don't care for the upset stomachs. I hate it because I don't know if I have to lay down, or just not leave the house. I have had far fewer attacks when I'm more rigid about my food, but there are still a few. I think because I'm, still trying to figure things out.

Toyed with going vegan-ish again, and maybe I will. I felt so good when I was vegan, let me tell you. It was really hard though.

anyway, that's all that, and while this is boring as heck for so many people, I'm enjoying writing things down lately.

Natural Remedies for PCOS Management: Expert-Recommended Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women worldwide, often causing hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, and weight gain. While medical treatments are available, incorporating natural remedies, particularly diet and lifestyle changes, can significantly help in managing PCOS symptoms. In this blog, we explore expert-recommended strategies for effectively managing PCOS naturally.

What role does diet play in managing PCOS?

Diet plays a crucial role in PCOS management as it directly impacts insulin levels, inflammation, and hormonal balance. Eating a balanced diet can help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce symptoms, and promote weight loss.

Experts recommend focusing on foods with a low glycemic index (GI) that release sugar slowly into the bloodstream. Include whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats while minimizing processed foods and sugary snacks.

Here are some expert-recommended food groups:

Which foods are considered best for women with PCOS?

High-fiber foods: Oats, quinoa, lentils, and broccoli to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Lean proteins: Chicken, turkey, tofu, and fish to support muscle health without spiking insulin.

Healthy fats: Avocados, nuts, olive oil, and seeds to reduce inflammation.

Low GI fruits: Berries, apples, and pears for natural sweetness.

Herbs and spices: Cinnamon and turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits.

What lifestyle changes can help alleviate PCOS symptoms?

Regular Exercise: Engage in 30-45 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days a week. Activities like brisk walking, yoga, and strength training are effective.

Stress Management: Practices like meditation, mindfulness, and deep breathing can help reduce cortisol levels.

Quality Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep to help regulate hormone levels.

Weight Management: Even a 5% reduction in body weight can improve symptoms significantly.

Are there natural supplements that can help?

Yes, certain supplements have shown promise for PCOS management. However, consult your healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen. Popular options include:

Inositol: Helps improve insulin sensitivity.

Vitamin D: Supports hormonal balance.

Omega-3 fatty acids: Reduces inflammation.

Magnesium: Helps with insulin regulation and stress management.

How can stress affect PCOS, and what can be done about it?

Chronic stress increases cortisol production, which can worsen hormonal imbalances and trigger insulin resistance—common issues in PCOS patients. Stress management techniques such as yoga, meditation, and spending time in nature can be beneficial.

FAQs About Natural Remedies for PCOS

1. Can PCOS be completely cured with natural remedies? PCOS cannot be completely cured, but natural remedies can help manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life.

2. How long does it take to see improvements with diet and lifestyle changes? Most women notice improvements within 3-6 months of consistent dietary and lifestyle adjustments.

3. Is weight loss necessary to manage PCOS symptoms? Weight loss is not mandatory but can significantly help in reducing symptoms. Even a small reduction in weight can be beneficial.

4. Can supplements replace dietary changes for PCOS? Supplements are supportive but cannot replace a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

5. Are there any foods to completely avoid with PCOS? Avoid sugary drinks, processed snacks, and refined carbohydrates as they can worsen insulin resistance.

Are Supplements necessary?

Which Supplements I cannot live without?

Supplements You Can’t Avoid: Are You Missing These Essentials?

Let’s get real for a second — modern life is a whirlwind. We’re juggling work, family, social lives, and trying to squeeze in some self-care between it all. In the midst of this madness, eating a perfectly balanced, nutrient-rich diet every single day feels like a fantasy, doesn’t it? And that’s where supplements come in. Sure, we’d all love to get everything we need from our food, but sometimes that just isn’t possible. So, which supplements are truly hard to avoid in this fast-paced world of ours?

Here’s the audacious truth: some nutrients are just plain tricky to get enough of from diet alone, and for some of us, supplements are a must. But not all supplements are created equal, and not everyone needs the same things. So, let’s break down the supplements that many people simply can’t skip — whether due to diet, lifestyle, or modern living.

1. Vitamin D: Sunshine in a Bottle

We all know the drill: vitamin D is vital for our bones, immune system, and even mood. But here’s the catch — how many of us are actually soaking up enough sun these days? Between working indoors, slathering on sunscreen (and rightly so), and long, dark winters, getting enough vitamin D from sunlight is a tall order. Add to that the fact that it’s found in only a handful of foods, and it’s no wonder so many of us are low on this crucial vitamin.

Without enough vitamin D, you’re looking at weakened bones, a lowered immune system, and even a hit to your mental health. If you’re not getting at least 10–30 minutes of direct sunlight a few times a week, a supplement might just be your best bet to stay healthy and bright. This one’s a no-brainer.

2. Omega-3: The Brain Fuel You Didn’t Know You Needed

Let’s talk fish. Unless you’re munching on salmon, mackerel, or sardines a few times a week (and who really is?), you’re likely missing out on omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are game-changers for your brain, heart, and even mental health. They help fight inflammation, keep your heart ticking along, and are linked to everything from reduced anxiety to better memory.

For those who don’t love fish — or avoid animal products entirely — this is where a supplement can make a world of difference. Fish oil, krill oil, or algae-based supplements can fill that gap with ease. Seriously, your brain will thank you for it.

3. Vitamin B12: The Vegan Achilles Heel

If you’re plant-based, this one’s for you. Vitamin B12 is crucial for nerve function, red blood cell production, and overall energy levels. But there’s a catch — it’s almost exclusively found in animal products. That’s bad news for vegans and vegetarians who can struggle to get enough from diet alone.

Without B12, you risk fatigue, brain fog, and even nerve damage. If you’re following a plant-based diet or if your body doesn’t absorb it well, a B12 supplement is an absolute must. And let’s be honest, even some meat-eaters are deficient because they’re just not getting enough from their diet. No shame in reaching for a little extra help.

4. Iron: More Than Just for Popeye

Iron isn’t just about fighting off anaemia — it’s about keeping your energy levels stable and your immune system strong. But here’s the kicker: iron from plant sources just doesn’t absorb as well as the iron from meat. If you’re not eating red meat, or if you have heavy periods, your iron stores can easily run low.

This isn’t just about fatigue, either. Low iron can mess with your immune system, leaving you more vulnerable to illnesses. For many people — especially women and vegetarians — an iron supplement can be a lifesaver. But, of course, make sure to get your levels checked before you start popping pills.

5. Magnesium: The Unsung Hero

Here’s a nutrient that doesn’t get enough love: magnesium. It’s involved in over 300 processes in your body, from muscle function to heart health to stress reduction. And yet, many people are deficient and don’t even know it.

Why? Well, modern farming practices have left our soil depleted, so even those leafy greens that should be packed with magnesium aren’t always delivering the goods. Throw in a diet that’s heavy on processed foods and low on whole grains, nuts, and seeds, and it’s easy to see why magnesium levels are lagging.

If you’re dealing with stress, sleep issues, or muscle cramps, a magnesium supplement could be exactly what you need to restore balance.

6. Folate (Folic Acid): The Pregnancy Powerhouse

For anyone thinking about pregnancy — or already there — folate (or folic acid) isn’t just important, it’s non-negotiable. It plays a crucial role in preventing birth defects and supporting healthy development. Even if you’re eating your leafy greens, legumes, and fortified grains, it can be tricky to get enough folate from diet alone when your needs increase during pregnancy. So, this is one supplement you don’t want to skip if you’re in the baby-making business.

7. Calcium: Because Bones Don’t Last Forever

We’ve all heard about calcium for strong bones, but as we age, it becomes more important than ever. If you’re dairy-free or simply not a big fan of calcium-rich foods, this is one mineral you can’t afford to ignore.

Low calcium levels lead to weak bones and a higher risk of fractures. For those who avoid dairy, a calcium supplement can make all the difference in keeping your skeleton strong as you age.

8. Zinc: The Immunity Booster

Last but not least, zinc — a superstar for your immune system and overall health. Found in meats, shellfish, and seeds, it’s often tough for plant-based eaters to get enough zinc from food alone. Not to mention, zinc is easily depleted during illness, making it even more critical during cold and flu season.

If you find yourself getting sick often or if you’re vegetarian or vegan, a zinc supplement can be a game-changer for your immune health.

The Bottom Line: Supplements with a Purpose

Here’s the bold truth: while we all want to rely on whole foods for our nutrients, the modern world doesn’t always make that possible. Whether due to lifestyle choices, dietary restrictions, or even the way our food is produced, supplements can fill in those nutritional gaps that are otherwise hard to avoid.

But remember, supplements are just that — supplements. They aren’t a replacement for real, nutrient-dense food. Think of them as backup singers, not the main act. They help when your diet doesn’t quite cut it, but they should never be the sole source of your nutrition.

So, while you might not need every supplement on this list, these essentials are ones you shouldn’t ignore if your diet or lifestyle leaves you lacking. The right supplements can support your health in ways that might just make the difference between thriving and just getting by.
