My Fit Girl Snacks:

When I eat real meals I EAT, so I like to snack light so I can really indulge myself at a little at lunch and especially at dinner (I don’t typically eat breakfast).

Liquid Death Sparkling Lime Water (20 cal) 💚💚💚

Topo Chico Lime (0 cal)

Green Apple and Almond Butter (290 cal but can be more or less depending on how much almond butter you use)

Quest protein chips (140 cal)

Power Crunch Bars (especially Peanut Butter Chocolate and Chocolate Mint) (190-220 cal)

95% Dark chocolate (4 squares is 200 cal but the most I ever eat is 2 squares because it suppresses appetite like coffee) if this is too bitter for you try to go down by 5% at a time until you can find one you can learn to love. Keep in mind the lower you go, the more calories and carbs per piece.

2 Wasa Swedish Style Crispbreads and 1.5 oz of Brie (240 cal)

High Quality Wild Caught Sardines in Olive Oil, my favorite brand is Nuri (250 cal)

A slice of Ezekiel bread and a tablespoon of Olive Oil with spices for dipping (200 cal)

Homemade Popcorn popped with Avocado Oil and topped with Garlic+Onion powder, Za’atar seasoning and olive oil. (I don’t ever measure the calories on this one, just try not to eat until you’re sick)

Raw Spinach/Spring Mix. This isn’t necessarily tasty and people look at me crazy but if I’m feeling snacky and haven’t eaten my vegetables yet, this can be a thing that I can mindlessly munch on while reading or watching a movie. I always get enough greens every day, almost too much sometimes.

koda's tips and tricks for depressive episodes

welcome to whatever this post is, i've been meaning to write this list down for myself as a compilation of all the tricks i've picked up from others; i figured i might as well just post this for everyone else who might want some new ideas for taking care of themselves.

FOOD TIPS

don't be afraid of single use cutlery, plates, or cups if you have problems getting to dishes before they get gross. i understand our climate issues, but it's not from normal people using single use, its from billionaires and corporations, so if you need it to help keep things clean, go for it. there are also more expensive options for compostable and recyclable single use products for those who can afford it! i don't only use single use things, but when start realizing i'm out of energy to take care of myself, i switch over.

keep SIMPLE foods on hands at all times. i like to keep things like peanut butter pretzels, uncrustable sandwiches, and applesauce for my 100% no effort meals. besides waiting for uncrustables to defrost, these are all open and eat things that can at least get something in your stomach which is VITAL for any and all humans, but those on medications shouldn't be taking their meds on an empty stomach. if you've taken antibiotics on an empty stomach, you can quickly find out how hard it is on your body, while other medications it might not be after a single dose, it still is hard on your body and the more doses you take on an empty stomach the worse you'll feel. ANY FOOD IS BETTER THAN NO FOOD, IF ALL YOU CAN EAT IS SOME BREAD, THEN EAT IT (i have not delt with an ed, i just have a low appetite from all the meds i've been on, so sadly i can't offer advice there)

a few other snacks or easy meals i like to have are steamable bags of veggies like broccoli and edamame. you microwave a bag, and season how you like, then you're done. don't let people scare you away from low nutritional value foods like a iceberg lettuce and some of the more basic salads like ready made caesar salads. while it might now provide as much in the way of calories or nutrients depending on all the fixings and dressing you use, simple salads that you just plop out of a bag into a bowl and eat, again are better than nothing! if it's something you like to eat that takes 2 seconds to make, cereal, sandwiches, etc. and you feel its not healthy enough, fuck it.

if you have the money, protein powder can be a good supplement if you have a low protein diet. depending on the brand and where you shop, a tub can cost anywhere from $30-$50 dollars, but large containers last a pretty long time in my experience (but i don't use daily or regularly at this point since i don't have money for the soy milk i use in it), but you can make them with any milk or milk substitutes OR just water. i like pb flavor, but they have loads from chocolate, vanilla, and even some cereal flavors like fruit loops and fruity pebbles. if you have the energy, large crock pot meals like chili can give you high protein left overs that only need to be reheated

my final little snack i love to promote is red bell peppers! i eat them raw, i just cut into strips, wash, and remove the seeds, and munch. they're full of insanely good nutrients and truthfully don't have an intense taste, so give them a try if you're a veggie fan.

CLEANING TIPS

if you cannot clean, don't. i live with a box of trash bags nearby at all times so i can simply throw out food (and my plates and such as talked about in the first bullet point of food tips). if i drink stuff like sodas or bottles shakes, i can also toss those out. leave the trash bag nearby and when it's full tie it off and take it out when you can.

even if it begins to overflow, try to keep all dirty laundry in one area, if you switch shirts, toss the shirt in the right area. as long as it piles up together, you don't have to search the whole room and/or bathroom for all of your laundry.

depending on your work or school situation, focus on only washing your sheets and comfortable everyday close / work or school uniforms. if you went out to a move and wore a cute shirt you don't wear often, keep it at the bottom of the laundry basket, focus on your frequently worn clothes! sleeping in clean sheets makes me feel better a lot of the time, but sheets aren't as important on the clothes you need when you leave the house.

i am horrible at showering when i'm having a depressive episode, but if you can convince yourself to have one at least once or twice a week, it can help you feel better. showering in general can help you feel better, cold showers are proven to release endorphins and help improve mental health (but i hate the cold so i do room temp at the lowest). it can be hard to find the energy to take care of yourself, but the boost you get from saying you did it and the science mumbo jumbo can help a lot.

along with showering, it can help be relaxing after school or work and can help you take a break from the world and what a lot of people forget is that a shower doesn't have to take long. a lot of AFAB people are familiar with "everything showers" which can make us feel that we're "behind" on getting properly clean so a shower shower can feel like a big commitment. I don't have long hair so that does changes the lengths of my showers slightly, but i can rinse up in about 5-10 minutes WHICH is only about 3-4 songs long at most. I rinse up with soap, try to soap up everything but focus on pits, crotch, and butt (this will also make you feel clean enough to go outside bc no one likes going in public if they feel stinky). If my hair needs it, i shampoo and condition. then i dry off, get dressed and, like i said before, it typically takes less time than a shorter youtube video (gotta hit that 10 minute mark for money)

mouthwash doesn't brush your teeth, but it can still help remove a lot of the bacteria that gathers in your mouth. a product i like A LOT is cocorange brite! you can find them online, that makes a really good deep clean toothpaste that helps remove tartar and plaque build up. 2floz is about 8$ before shipping! i use it along side regular toothpaste to help with taste and consistency since it's different since it's a natural brand and use only about a dot so it does last a good bit!

maybe someday i'll add more as i find more but those are the tips i try to follow when i can. life can be rough, so sometimes you make mistakes or your goals fall through, but all any human can ever do is try :)

this is also majorly unedited so if i make any mistakes, i apologize.

Wally West’s Cooking is a Disaster—Even Barry is Terrified

Listen. Wally West has zero cooking skills. Absolutely none. And honestly? He doesn’t care.

Why? Because when your metabolism is running at Mach 10, you don’t exactly have time to be a gourmet chef. You eat what you can, when you can, and as long as it has enough calories to keep you going, who cares what it tastes like?Certainly not Wally.

The problem? Everyone else cares. Because Wally’s food isn’t just weird—it’s a monstrosity against nature itself.

The Horror That is Wally’s Cooking

Wally doesn’t season things. He doesn’t follow recipes. He doesn’t even think before throwing food together. To him, food is fuel, and that means whatever is in the fridge is fair game.

Eggs? Sure. Cereal? Why not? Cold pizza? That’s breakfast, right? Peanut butter? Adds protein. Wasabi? Gotta clear those sinuses. Soy sauce? More flavor, duh. Pickles? Need that crunch. Chocolate syrup? Because he likes chocolate. Raw ramen? Extra texture. Red Bull? Well, obviously.

The end result is an unholy mess of textures, temperatures, and smells that no living being should consume.

The Flash Family is Suffering

Barry—sweet, kind, culinary-competent Barry—has spent years perfecting his cooking skills. He knows how to fuel a speedster without causing a national health crisis. He understands the balance between carbs, proteins, and fats. He even makes meal plans to keep up with their insane metabolisms.

And then there's Wally.

The first time Barry saw Wally’s “special snack,” he physically recoiled.

Barry (horrified): “...What is that?” Wally (cheerfully, holding a bowl of something green, chunky, and fizzing): “Lunch!” Barry (stepping back): “I—Wally, I love you, but please, for the love of all that is holy, never let me see that again.”

The worst part? Barry tried to tell Wally how to cook properly. He really did. But Wally’s response?

“Why waste time cooking when you can just eat?”

Barry has never been more disappointed in his life.

Bruce Steps In

It gets worse. Wally doesn’t just eat his horrifying concoctions alone. No, no. He once made the mistake of bringing one of his “meals” to the Watchtower.

The smell hit first.

Clark—Clark—with his Kryptonian senses, nearly gagged. Diana looked at it like it was an ancient curse that needed to be sealed away. Even J’onn, a literal alien with no concept of human food, refused to go near it.

And that was the day Bruce Wayne banned Wally from ever eating in front of the Justice League again.

Bruce (stone-faced, absolutely done): “West. If you ever bring that into this room again, I will have you removed.” Wally (offended): “What?! It’s just a snack!” Bruce (dead serious): “That is not food. That is a biological weapon.”

From that moment on, Wally was strictly forbidden from eating his ‘experimental meals’ in front of the League or any of the Batkids. The last thing Bruce needed was Damian being exposed to that and deciding to weaponize it.

The Day Wally Took It Too Far

The real breaking point? That was the day Wally accidentally made something so toxic that even Barry—who has an even faster metabolism—couldn’t eat it.

It started with Wally trying to get “extra energy” before a mission. His logic? If high-calorie foods fuel him better, then mixing a bunch of high-energy foods together should be even more effective.

The result?

Raw eggs.

A protein shake.

Espresso shots (yes, plural).

A literal bag of sugar.

A full can of condensed milk (???).

Hot sauce, because why not.

And a Red Bull, of course.

By the time he was done, the mixture was bubbling. Not even metaphorically. It was actually fizzing.

Barry watched in absolute horror as Wally chugged the whole thing.

And then. Silence.

For a full minute, Wally just stood there. Eyes wide. Hands shaking. Face pale. Then, without a word, he just left the room.

When Barry caught up to him, he found Wally sitting on the floor, staring at his hands like he had just touched the void itself.

Wally (whispering): “Barry… I think I just met God.” Barry (genuinely afraid): “Are you okay?” Wally (still whispering): “No.”

For the next three days, Wally had the worst stomachache of his life. Barry, terrified, made him promise never to experiment again.

Did Wally listen? Of course not. But at least now, whenever he’s in public, he pretends to eat like a normal person.

Because if Bruce ever catches him traumatizing the Justice League again?

It’s over.

TL;DR:

Wally West’s cooking is an abomination.

He throws random ingredients together with zero regard for taste or safety.

Barry, a good cook, is horrified.

The Justice League banned him from eating in front of them.

Bruce made it an official rule because even Clark couldn’t handle the smell.

Wally once made something so toxic that even he regretted it.

can my cat be vegan?

This is a very long article but it is comprehensive and will answer all your questions if you’re thinking of putting your cat on a vegan diet. I hope it will be helpful.

the obligate carnivore 

Not all carnivores are obligate carnivores.In fact, most aren’t. But all members of the cat family are. 

As obligate carnivores, they cannot digest plant-based foods efficiently. Eating meat is a biological necessity. 

 One of the defining characteristics of an obligate carnivore is a requirement for a high amount of protein in the diet. They are so dependent on protein that if their diet is lacking an adequate amount to supply their energy needs, they will break down their own body muscle and organs. 

The true carnivore will occasionally eat other foods, but the primary nutritive source must be meat for them to survive. This is because the protein in animal tissue has a complete amino acid profile. 

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Plant proteins do not contain all the amino acids critical for the health of obligate carnivores, and unlike humans who have the physiological ability to turn plant proteins into the missing pieces needed for a complete amino acid profile, cats don’thave that capacity. 

Cats need the amino acid taurine in their food to prevent blindness and certain kinds of heart disease. Cats cannot produce taurine in their own bodies; rather, they must eat foods containing taurine to obtain it. 

Taurine is supplied almost exclusively by meat and seafood and little to none from vegetables. 

Cats require approximately 200-300mg of taurine per meal, which is easily supplied by a diet that is more than half raw meat.  

 

Ornithine, another amino acid, is manufactured in the body and is necessary because it binds the ammonia produced from the breakdown of protein. Most animals manufacture the amino acid ornithine through various processes, some of which require arginine.  

In cats, the only method of producing ornithine is to convert it from arginine. Arginine helps remove by-products of the broken-down protein in their diet. arginine is only found in low amounts in plant-based diets.  

An arginine deficiency will lead to drooling, lethargy and convulsions due to the toxicity built up from the protein – and even death. 

Cats also lack the enzyme which can convert beta-carotene to retinol, the active form of Vitamin A. Therefore, they require a pre-formed Vitamin A, which is present only in foods of animal origin, and is usually included in cat foods as retinyl palmitate or acetate. Deficiencies of Vitamin A are rare, but signs include night blindness, retarded growth, and poor-quality skin and coat. 

Arachidonic acid is one of the essential fatty acids. Cats cannot manufacture arachidonic acid from linoleic acid or gamma-linolenic acid, so it must be supplemented in their food. Arachidonic acid is necessary to produce an inflammatory response. It also helps to regulate skin growth, is necessary for proper blood clotting, and is necessary for the reproductive and gastrointestinal systems to function properly. Arachidonic acid is found in animal fats as well as peanut oil.  

Cats on a vegan diet can develop abnormally alkaline (high pH) urine due to the more alkaline pH of plant based proteins in comparison to the acidic pH of meat-based foods which cats have evolved to eat. 

When the urine pH becomes too alkaline, there is an increased risk of formation of bladder crystals and/or stones. 

Such stones can create irritation and infection of the urinary tract and require veterinary treatment. In male cats the stones can cause an obstruction of the urethra, so the cat cannot urinate. This is a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate veterinary care. 

 

the cat’s biological make-up 

The feline digestive tract is short and is unable to process the nutrients contained in plant matter. It also causes them to need a highly digestible diet. Not only is the cat’s diet necessarily full of highly digestible proteins and fat, the proteins and fat can be very quickly digested as opposed to plant matter, which is slowly digested.  

Cats have scissor-like teeth and generally, strong jaws made for grasping and tearing up their prey. Their jaws do not allow motions for actual chewing or masticating; rather, they are made to cut their prey and eat them quickly. They do not chew their prey because they can mostly digest them in their stomachs. Their tongues are raspy because they use them to scrape the meat from the bones. 

Domestic cats did not evolve much further beyond their ancestral need to eat an all-meat diet because they thrived on this particular diet. They were physically and powerfully designed to eat primarily meat. 

 

the risks of commercial pet food 

However, questions must be asked about the origins of the commercial meat-based foods we are feeding our pets. 

The domestication of the house cat together with the growth of the commercial pet food industry, has changed the food we feed our cats, especially in the past 50 years or so. In the quest to profit from slaughterhouse waste products, owners developed meat by-products, digests, and meals.  

Over time other non-animal products were blended as filler to help make the pet foods even more profitable. It has only been in the past 20 years or so that commercial pet food manufacturers have started looking at pet nutrition seriously. However, much commercial pet food is made up of meat products not fit for human consumption simply because it makes financial sense. 

Even if we are not going to cross over to a vegan diet for our feline friends, we must make sure that we are not feeding them the “excesses” of factory farming. Apart from the obvious desire to feed our cats a high - quality food, it is worth spending more on a scientifically based diet that may lead to a long and healthy life. 

 

attention to possible health issues 

Is it possible to raise your cat vegan? Only if proper attention is given to providing a food that is nutritionally balanced and complete. Supplementation of taurine and arginine is absolutely essential. Cats also requireconsiderable amounts of Vitamin A. 

 In the case of commercial vegan cat foods, a urinary pH level of 6.5 is should be targeted. 

Cats on a vegan diet can develop abnormally alkaline (high pH) urine due to the more alkaline pH of plant based proteins in comparison to the acidic pH of meat-based foods which cats have evolved to eat. When the urine pH becomes too alkaline, there is an increased risk of formation of struvite (also known as magnesium ammonium phosphate) bladder crystals and/or stones.  

 

advice from vegancats.com 

“Unless you are very committed to following the advice outlined on our site by feeding your cat a properly balanced diet as per the information below, we recommend that you mitigate the risk of urinary tract problems by feeding males cats a 25-75% vegan diet and females a 50-100% vegan diet. Of course, many cats (both male and female) will thrive on a simple vegan diet and never have any complications from urinary tract infections or crystal formations, but you need to be prepared to adjust the diet accordingly for cats who may be prone to such issues”. 

We do not believe in making companion animals suffer through recurring health complications simply because we’d like to feed them an exclusively vegan diet; rather, we believe that people should do the best they can to find a balance that keeps their companions healthy while reducing dependency on meat products to the greatest extent.” 

Whatever you decide – it is, of course, your decision - it is advisable to research the pros and cons and to discuss your options with your vet. It may turn out to be healthier for your cat to not eat the way you do. In the long run, it is best to give your feline companion a long happy life than to make him/her conform to your choices. 

Jennifer Larsen, DVM, PhD, veterinary nutritionist and assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of California, Davis Veterinary School says the following guidelines should be followed if you are considering a vegan diet for your cat: 

 

· Only consider or feed commercial diets that have gone through feeding trials and meets the requirements for AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) compliance. 

· Consult with a veterinary nutritionist who can analyse your commercial or homemade vegetarian pet diet and make recommendations for additional health safeguards. 

· Schedule more frequent wellness exams, including blood work, with your family veterinarian - at least twice a year, even for young pets eating vegetarian diets. 

 

what the experts say 

Pet care professionals who warn against vegetarian diets for cats empathize with pet owners’ concerns that lead to these decisions. Believing its biologically or physiologically ok to switch your cat to one of these diets is to deny all the science proving otherwise. 

Below you will find some of the leading veterinarians in the world stating their opinion on a vegan diet for your cat: 

Lew Olson, PhD, author of Raw and Natural Nutrition for Dogs, makes this analogy: “Trying to feed a cat a vegan diet would be like me feeding my horses meat. You’re taking a whole species of animal and trying to force it to eat something that it isn’t designed to handle. 

“People do this to make themselves happy,” says Olson, who worked in psychotherapy before changing careers in the early 1990s. “It’s not about the animal. When people tell me they want to feed a vegan diet, I say, ‘Get a hamster, get a rabbit.’” 

 “For cats, it’s really inappropriate. It goes against their physiology and isn’t something I would recommend at all, “says Cailin Heinze, VMD, a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and assistant professor of nutrition at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. 

 Vitamins A and D: Dogs and cats cannot make vitamin D in their skin, so it needs to be in their diet. And the vitamin D needs to be D3, which comes from animal sources, not D2, which comes from plant-based sources. “People and dogs can use D2 to some extent, but cats really need D3,” Heinze says. 

 

the risks of feeding your pet a vegetarian or vegan diet  

· Inadequate total protein intake (less than the 25 grams per 1,000 calories recommended). 

· Imbalance of the certain amino acids, such as taurine and L-carnitine (dogs and cats) or essential fatty acids arachidonic acid (cats only), in particular. 

· Deficiency in vitamins and minerals (such as B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, and iron) that are obtained ideally, or only, through meat or other animal products. 

· If allowed to continue long enough, these dietary problems can lead to serious and sometimes irreversible medical conditions. The one veterinarians mention most often is taurine-related dilated cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart with weak contractions and poor pumping ability). Low taurine can also lead to reproductive failures, growth failures, and eye problems. 

· For the sake of your cat’s health, wellness and longevity do not make the mistake of putting them through this slow death. The chances of you seeing the sign of their immune system and organs shutting down before it’s too late is very slim. 

 Veterinarian Marla McGeorge, a cat specialist at Portland, Oregon’s Best Friends Veterinary Medical Centre, argues that the problem with forcing your cat to be vegetarian or vegan is that such diets fail toprovide the amino acids needed for proper feline health and are too high in carbohydrates that felines have not evolved to be able to process. As to those powder-based supplements intended to bridge the nutritional gap, McGeorge says that such formulations may not be as easily absorbed by cats’ bodies as the real thing.

Peanuts: A nutrient-rich and versatile snack with many health benefits

Peanuts are a type of legume that is native to South America. They are one of the most popular snack foods in the world, and for good reason. Peanuts are packed with nutrients and have been linked to a number of health benefits.

**Nutritional value of peanuts:**

Peanuts are a good source of:

* Protein: Peanuts are a good plant-based source of protein, making them a good choice for vegetarians and vegans. One ounce of peanuts contains approximately 6 grams of protein.

* Healthy fats: Peanuts contain mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are good for heart health. Monounsaturated fats can help to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels. Polyunsaturated fats can also help to lower LDL cholesterol levels.

* Fiber: Peanuts are a good source of fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied. Fiber can also help to improve digestion and regularity. One ounce of peanuts contains approximately 3 grams of fiber.

* Vitamins and minerals: Peanuts contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, and niacin. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that can help to protect cells from damage. Magnesium is important for muscle and nerve function. Potassium is important for blood pressure regulation. Niacin is important for energy metabolism and skin health.

**Health benefits of peanuts:**

Peanuts have been linked to a number of health benefits, including:

* Reduced risk of heart disease: The healthy fats and antioxidants in peanuts can help to lower cholesterol levels and improve blood vessel health. A study published in the journal *Circulation* found that people who ate peanuts or peanut butter at least five times per week had a 14% lower risk of death from heart disease than those who did not eat peanuts or peanut butter.

* Improved blood sugar control: Peanuts have a low glycemic index, meaning they do not cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. This makes them a good snack option for people with diabetes or prediabetes. A study published in the journal *Diabetes Care* found that people with type 2 diabetes who ate peanuts or peanut butter as part of a healthy diet had lower blood sugar levels and less insulin resistance than those who did not eat peanuts or peanut butter.

* Weight management: Peanuts are high in protein and fiber, both of which can help you to feel full and satisfied. This can lead to reduced calorie intake and weight loss over time. A study published in the journal *Obesity* found that people who ate peanuts or peanut butter as part of a low-calorie diet lost more weight and body fat than those who did not eat peanuts or peanut butter.

* Cancer prevention: Some research suggests that peanuts may help to protect against certain types of cancer, such as colon cancer and breast cancer. A study published in the journal *Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention* found that people who ate peanuts or peanut butter at least twice per week had a 27% lower risk of developing colon cancer than those who did not eat peanuts or peanut butter. A study published in the journal *Breast Cancer Research and Treatment* found that women who ate peanuts or peanut butter at least five times per week had a 22% lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who did not eat peanuts or peanut butter.

**How to incorporate peanuts into your diet:**

Peanuts can be eaten raw, roasted, or salted. They can also be used to make peanut butter, peanut oil, and other peanut products. Peanuts can be incorporated into a variety of dishes, including salads, soups, stews, and stir-fries.

Here are some tips for incorporating peanuts into your diet:

* Add a handful of peanuts to your breakfast cereal, oatmeal, or yogurt.

* Spread peanut butter on whole-wheat bread or crackers for a healthy snack or sandwich.

* Add peanuts to salads, soups, stews, and stir-fries.

* Snack on peanuts instead of unhealthy snacks like chips or candy.

* Make your own peanut butter at home using raw peanuts and a blender.

**Conclusion:**

Peanuts are a nutritious and versatile snack food with many health benefits. They are a good source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins and minerals. Peanuts have been linked to a number of health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease, improved blood sugar control, weight management, and cancer prevention. Peanuts can be easily incorporated into a variety of dishes, making them a healthy and convenient food choice for everyone.

Edamame

Edamame, or young soybeans, are not only delicious but also packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. A half-cup serving provides around 100 calories and makes for a satisfying and wholesome snack.

Rice Cakes with Nut Butter

Rice cakes are a low-calorie, crunchy snack that can be topped with a spread of your favorite nut butter for a satisfying combination of carbs, protein, and healthy fats.

Cottage Cheese with Pineapple

Low-fat cottage cheese paired with fresh pineapple chunks creates a sweet and creamy snack that is high in protein and low in calories.

Sliced Apple with Peanut Butter

Apples are high in fiber and low in calories, and when paired with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter, they make for a delicious and satisfying snack that will keep you full for longer.

Tuna Salad Cucumber Bites

Re: your post about dairy, can you share more about your diet? What do you eat on a day to day basis? I'm interested in learning about healthier eating

My diet probably consists of 80% animal products.

I don't use seed oils, maybe once a year for fried chicken but next time I want to use lard.

I don't eat soy, I don't add sugar to things I use honey instead (I do eat sweets though, but I don't like to add sugar to sauces, porridge, coffee, etc).

So this is typically what I'll eat in a day:

Breakfast: oatmeal made with ground oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, honey, peanut butter/coconut oil and fruit either an apple, banana or berries. Or eggs, bacon/ham, spinach and cheese. Sometimes I boil the eggs and eat the bacon raw and just some cheese on the side, and sometimes I fry them and cook the spinach too.

Lunch: I have been skipping lunch because I've been having a late breakfast, but usually I'll just snack on things like cheese, sausages, eggs, I've had times where I just ate some butter, yoghurts, protein shakes, etc.

Dinner: Usually my biggest meal. Ground beef with onion and garlic, some seasonings put that on top of a salad (mixed greens, apple/ cranberries, avocado, sometimes cucumber). Chicken I mostly have baked with vegetables like potatoes, carrots, onion and garlic. Steak with salad or brussel sprouts. Baked salmon with egg salad on the side. I don't like pork much so mostly I'll have a roast (shoulder with a fat layer to crisp up) and red cabbage with pears or apples on the side.

We rotate those meals a lot, rarely we'll have pasta, I love lasagna. Also burritos and sushi but we see those as treats, me and my husband prefer simple meals.

Then before sleep I'll have a snack like some chocolate, chocolate milk, sometimes I make chia seed pudding, a protein bar, some cake, whatever I want tbh.

I've struggled with a pretty bad ED in the past so what works for me is no restriction BUT portion control. I'll have whatever makes me feel best and it just happens to be a more high fat diet, I also love carbs though but sometimes they make me tired which is why I'll save my snacks for bed time.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing a No Seed Oil Protein Bar

These days, protein bars are a staple snack for fitness devotees, busy professionals, and health-conscious individuals who fancy a fast, nutritious snack. Not all fit the bill, for nutrition's sake; many use seed oils such as Canola, Sunflower, and Soy oil, which in fact may stimulate inflammation, obesity, and metabolic disorders. So if there is any win for you in keeping a healthy state, it is to avoid seed oils in your protein bars.

This ultimate guide explains all the reasons to stay away from seed oil, how to read product labels, what to look for in the ingredients, and offers some suggestions of the best current no-seed-oil protein bar options in the market. By the end of this article, you will be thoroughly informed about the selection of a no-seed oil protein bar to fuel your needs best, without any extra chemicals.

Why Avoid Seed Oils in Protein Bars?

It is common to find many protein bars that will substitute seed oils for an increase of bars' texture flavor and preservation, but the refined oils can make people suffer from inflammation and an overload of omega-6 fats.

1. Inflammation and Omega-6 Overload

Rich in omega-6 fatty acids, many seed oils become unbalanced with omega-3 fats upon excess ingestion, thereby initiating chronic inflammation that is related to heart disease, arthritis, obesity, etc.

2. Oxidative Stress and Free Radical Damage

Most seed oils are extracted through high-heat processing and chemical solvents, making them prone to oxidation. Oxidized oils generate free radicals, which can damage cells, accelerate aging, and contribute to diseases like cancer.

3. Poor Gut Health

Research suggests that excessive seed oil consumption may negatively impact gut microbiota, leading to digestive issues, bloating, and an increased risk of leaky gut syndrome.

4. Weight Gain and Metabolic Issues

Some studies indicate that linoleic acid, a primary component of seed oils, may contribute to insulin resistance and fat accumulation, making it harder to maintain a healthy weight.

Switching to a no-seed oil protein bar is a small yet effective step toward optimizing your diet and reducing potential health risks.

How to Choose a No-Seed Oil Protein Bar

With so many protein bars on the market, it’s crucial to know how to differentiate a clean product from a highly processed one. Here’s what you should look for:

1. Read the Ingredient List Carefully

Before buying any protein bar, check the ingredient list. Avoid bars that contain: ❌ Canola oil ❌ Sunflower oil ❌ Soybean oil ❌ Corn oil ❌ Safflower oil ❌ Grapeseed oil

Instead, look for bars that use healthy fat sources like: ✅ Coconut oil ✅ Cacao butter ✅ Nut butters (almond, cashew, peanut, macadamia, etc.)

2. Look for Whole-Food Ingredients

A high-quality no seed oil protein bar should be made from real, whole ingredients, not artificial fillers. The best bars include:

Nuts and seeds (excluding highly processed seed oils)

Grass-fed or plant-based protein sources

Natural sweeteners like honey, dates, or monk fruit

Coconut or cacao butter for healthy fats

3. Check for Added Sugars and Artificial Ingredients

Many commercial protein bars contain hidden sugars and synthetic additives that can spike blood sugar levels and lead to crashes. Watch out for: ❌ High-fructose corn syrup ❌ Artificial sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame ❌ Preservatives and emulsifiers

Instead, choose bars with natural sweeteners like: ✅ Dates ✅ Raw honey ✅ Maple syrup

4. Prioritize Protein Quality

Not all protein sources are equal. Some bars use low-quality, highly processed protein isolates, while others incorporate clean, digestible protein sources.

✅ Best protein sources:

Grass-fed whey protein

Collagen protein

Egg white protein

Plant-based protein (pea, hemp, pumpkin seed, etc.)

❌ Avoid:

Soy protein isolate (often processed with hexane)

Gluten-containing grains (if you have sensitivities)

Final Thoughts

Choosing a no-seed oil protein bar doesn’t have to be complicated. By paying attention to ingredient lists, protein sources, and processing methods, you can find a bar that truly supports your health and fitness goals.

Uttarayan 2025 Gujarati foods to try on the kite-flying festival

Skies filled with colourful kites, sounds of ‘Kai Po Che’, family and friends gathered on the terrace of the house, and mouth-watering food—this is what Ahmedabad looks like during Uttarayan. Uttarayan, the festival of kites, is widely celebrated in Gujarat and other parts of the country. It is also known as Makar Sankranti in the north, Pongal in the south, and Bihu in the northeast. 

Uttarayan is not only meant for kite-flying dishes but also for daan (charity) and harvest of Kharif crops. The term ‘Uttarayan’ means northward movement. Uttarayan marks the beginning of the harvest period when the sun transitions to the north to mark the end of the winter solstice. 

Coming back to the food, Gujaratis are fond of eating and celebrating. They spend their day in Uttarayan relishing delicious food like undhiyu, jalebi, chikki, and more.

Undhiyu Puri 

Undhiyu is the staple dish in Gujarati homes during Uttarayan. It is made with seasonal vegetables, spices, and fenugreek dumplings (methi muthiya). The seasonal vegetables used are flat beans (surti papdi), tuvar lilva (pigeon peas), ratalu (yam), kand (purple yam), and other winter vegetables. Undhiyu authentically is made in an earthen pot sealed and dug upside down in the sand for hours. Hence, the name ‘Undhiyu’ comes from the term ‘Undhu’ meaning upside down. First, all the vegetables are fried separately and mixed with spices to make Undhiyu. The traditional method of cooking Undhiyu gives it a rusty and smoky flavour. It is made in different ways in different parts of Gujarat. There are mainly three types of Undhiyu - Surti, Kathiyawadi, and Matla Undhiyu. It is relished with piping hot puris and can be eaten alone as well. Since the vegetables are deep-fried, it stays good for 2-3 days. 

Fafda Jalebi

We’ve all known Fafda Jalebi as a favourite breakfast of Jethalal from the popular SAB TV show, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. If you haven’t watched the show, let me tell you what Fafda Jalebi is. Fafda Jalebi is a popular breakfast dish in Gujarat. Fafda is a long and flat kind of chip made with besan (gram flour). It is accompanied by raw papaya chutney (papaya nu sambharo) and kadhi. Fafda is incomplete without Jalebi. Jalebi is a juicy and crispy sweet dish shaped like a spiral. It is made with all-purpose flour and gram flour batter, deep-fried in ghee, and coated with sugar syrup. Fafda and Jalebi are always eaten together. You can find this all year round. 

Peanut Chikki

Peanut chikki is a popular winter delicacy made with peanuts and jaggery. While it is relished all around the winter season, peanut chikki is a must on the food list for Uttarayan. It has the right amount of crisp from peanuts and sweet flavour from jaggery. People munch on these healthy and crispy peanut bites while kite-flying to satiate their hunger. Beanut's peanut chikki is made of high-quality peanuts, which have a good amount of protein to keep you full of energy while flying kites on Uttarayan. It is available in small packs, which you can keep in your pocket or bag. It is easy to take around while travelling as well. 

Sesame/Til Laddoos

Another winter delicacy that is nutritious and healthy is laddoos and sweets made of sesame seeds or til. Sesame seeds are first roasted, jaggery is added, and then they are rolled into laddoos or made flat to make til papdi. Sesame seeds or til come in two varieties - white and black sesame seeds. One of the popular snacks in winter, sesame laddoos are full of magnesium and calcium. 

Khichdo

Khichdo is a not-so-popular Uttarayan dish but is traditionally made in Gujarati homes. It comes in both sweet and savoury versions. The sweet version is made with broken wheat with outer skin removed (dalia), milk, sugar, and dry fruits, while the savoury version of Khichdo is made with 5 grains (panch dhaan) or 7 grains (saat dhaan) along with vegetables. The savoury version includes grains like bajra, wheat, rice, whole moong, and moong dal. It is easy to make and even has seasonal vegetables like tuvar lilva, green peas, and more. 

Kachariyu

Kachariyu is another underrated Gujarati sweet dish made with crushed black sesame seeds or til, gud or jaggery, saunth (dry ginger powder), ganthoda, dry coconut, and dry fruits. It is very healthy to eat in winter. It provides heat to the body in chilling winters and is full of Omega-3 fatty acids. It is usually eaten all around the winter but is specifically made on Uttarayan in Gujarati homes. 

While you enjoy these Gujarati delicacies during Uttarayan, don’t forget to attend the International Kite Festival on Uttarayan in Ahmedabad. 

Did you know?

The International Kite Festival in Ahmedabad was organised first in 1989 to make the festival renowned around the world.

History of kite-flying on Uttarayan

Uttarayan marks the end of the winter solstice and the sun rising and moving towards the north. Kite-flying is said to represent the end of winter, the sun rising, promising longer days, and the onset of spring. Kite-flying is also said to be beneficial for the body. When people are standing in the winter sun during kite-flying, it is said that it wards off infections and illnesses. 

Beanut wishes you a happy Uttarayan. Stay safe and happy!

Pretty much anything you would add to upgraded instant ramen can also go in a rice bowl with soy sauce. Both are great. Here's one of the ways I'll make a rice bowl:

Put some white rice in a pot (make sure it has a lid, or something you can use as a lid). Rinse the rice a couple times until the water is almost clear lest ye be murdered in the night. Sometimes I don't rinse it though tbh. Poke the rice to see how deep the rice layer is. Add water until the water level in the pot is like, maybe twice and a bit as high as the rice was on its own? Put the pot on the stove and turn the heat up to high. Wait for the water to start boiling for a little while. You won't really get a proper rolling boil because of the rice so once you start seeing like, maybe centimeter-sized bubbles or whatever you'd personally consider boiling, turn the heat down way low and pop the lid on. Set a timer for like, 20 minutes. You can leave the rice alone now. Whenever the timer goes off you can turn off the heat but the rice can just sit for however long it needs to after that. Now you can cook your meat and veggies. You can do them in the same pan for less dishes, just make sure the meat is pretty much fully cooked on the outside before the veggies go in. Add soy sauce or some other sauce and spices like ginger or red pepper or garlic or whatever if you want, or you could just add soy sauce at the end. Good protein: fried egg. chicken. tofu. microwaved hot dog (bonus: no pan required). beef. whatever you want. protein is good for energy and being strong. I think. You could also or alternatively make a peanut butter sauce. (If you like sushi or poke: check your local stores to see if any sell shashimi/sushi-grade fish. If they have some and it's in your price range, buy some, keep it cold until you get home, then chop it up and stick it in the freezer immediately, ideally divided into small portions so you don't end up with a big raw fish chunk. You can microwave a small portion for like 11 seconds to defrost it a bit, and then it will defrost the rest of the way if you mix it into hot rice.) Good veggies: peas. veggies. spinach (add at the very VERY end and take off the heat almost immediately). bok choy. carrots. whatever you like. Also if you hate vegetables because they were always mushy and flavorless when you had them growing up, please try to learn to cook them yourself I promise they can be tasty.

I like to put cilantro and green onions and sesame seeds on top. Any leftover rice can be kept in a lidded container for like a week or two in the fridge. Put some in a bowl with a plate over it and microwave for like a minute, and your rice will be almost good as new. At least by my standards.

Do any of u have decent recipes that are like 5 ingredients (not including spices) and take 45 mins or less to prepare i gotta stop eating sandwiches for dinner

This is step towards getting the sangraal singing in your DNA!

hygieneforbliss:

1.Drink ONLY - living spring water, and fresh squeezed fresh fruit or vegetable juices. Nothing else.(herb tea if custom requires - then with quality spring water - heating water does not serve life ).

80 to 100 percent of what you eat should be alive / raw / uncooked. Elminate most or all highly processed foods - highly mixed - 'homogenized' means dead. Most any food or drink that has spent much time in contact with any metal you can be assured contributes only to DEATH.

2. Eliminate ALL wheat, dairy, corn, soy - including all bread and soy products made from these. This is because the DNA in them is mostly sad and spin lost from too much monoculture. You can tell what to eliminate from what makes too much mucous.(When grains are desired try Quinoa, Millet, Amaranth, Oats)

3. Eliminate all stimulants, all caffeine, all sugar, all alchohol, tobacco, and drugs.

4. Sleep, live and work in a place where magnetic fields are pristine and quiet. Eliminating most metal from everything possible that you touch and live next to.

5. Do eat high quality protein once a day. Rawfish, organic eggs, etc. (midday better than late). 6. Eliminate all fried food. Eliminate eating any oil that has been heated. (use only rawexpellerpressedoil). 7. Do eat high quality raw oil - flax, olive, 'Udo's'. 8. The AIDS membrane is a leaky membrane - so practice holding charge by SPEAKING only when it serves bliss.

9. Do eat RAW (unheated) mixed excellent nuts (except eliminate peanuts) perhaps with banana and a little fresh squeeze Orange on it for breakfast. And here is a suggested lunch - carefully plan nicely ripe avocadoes, mashed with lemon and or lime juice, sea or mineral salt, plus excellent raw olive or other raw oil, plus chopped raw sweet / red peppers, and or tomatoes organic.. (Like a Guacamole) Dip with other raw veggies.

10. Deep bath with deep breathing daily . (If at ALL possible eliminate ALL contact with Chlorine water). 11. Ozone Enema once or twice and month - 'Colema'

What food do dogs enjoy the most?

Dogs bring joy to our lives with their loyalty, playfulness, and unconditional love, and feeding them is one of the ways we show our care. But just like humans, dogs have their favorites when it comes to food. Knowing what foods dogs enjoy the most, while keeping their health in mind, is crucial for happy and healthy pets. Let’s explore some of the most loved food choices for dogs and tips to make their meals both enjoyable and nutritious.

High-Quality Meat-Based Proteins Dogs are naturally drawn to meat, as they are descendants of carnivorous wolves. Proteins from high-quality sources, such as chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, and fish, are not only delicious to them but also essential for their muscle growth and overall well-being. Many dogs love the taste of cooked or raw meat (if you’re following a raw food diet under veterinary guidance).

Pro Tip: Avoid seasoning or adding harmful ingredients like onions or garlic when preparing meat for your dog.

Cheese and Dairy Products Most dogs find cheese irresistible. It’s an excellent source of protein and calcium, making it a great occasional treat. Popular options include cheddar, mozzarella, or cottage cheese. However, keep in mind that some dogs are lactose intolerant, so monitor their reaction to dairy before adding it to their diet regularly.

Tip: Use small cheese pieces as training treats for maximum motivation during obedience sessions.

Peanut Butter Peanut butter is a universal favorite among dogs. Its creamy texture and rich flavor make it a perfect treat, especially when stuffed into toys like Kongs or spread lightly on healthy treats. Always opt for unsalted, sugar-free peanut butter without xylitol, as this artificial sweetener is toxic to dogs.

Cooked Eggs Eggs are not only delicious but also packed with protein, healthy fats, and vitamins like B12. Many dogs love scrambled, boiled, or poached eggs. They make a quick and easy addition to your dog’s meal or a standalone snack.

Note: Always cook eggs thoroughly to avoid potential bacterial risks like salmonella.

Fruits Dogs Love Many dogs enjoy the natural sweetness of certain fruits, and these can also serve as healthy treats. Some popular fruits for dogs include:

Apples (without seeds) Blueberries Bananas Watermelon (seedless) Strawberries Fruits are low-calorie options packed with antioxidants and vitamins, making them a refreshing treat for dogs, especially in warmer months.

Vegetables That Appeal to Dogs Not all dogs are crazy about vegetables, but some enjoy crunchy options like carrots, cucumbers, and green beans. These veggies are low in calories, making them ideal for dogs watching their weight. Sweet potatoes (cooked and plain) are another favorite, offering a natural sweetness dogs love.

Fish and Seafood Fish such as salmon and tuna are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are excellent for a dog’s skin, coat, and brain health. Many dogs enjoy cooked fish or fish-based meals. Sardines packed in water (without added salt) are also a quick and healthy treat.

Specialized Dog Foods High-quality commercial dog food brands are formulated to cater to your dog’s taste buds while meeting their nutritional needs. Many premium brands include real meat, natural flavors, and added vitamins, making them both healthy and tasty. Some dogs might prefer wet food due to its stronger aroma and softer texture, while others enjoy crunchy kibble.

Broths and Stews Warm, unsalted bone broth or chicken broth can be added to your dog’s dry kibble for an enhanced flavor. Dogs love the aroma and taste of broths, which also keep them hydrated and improve digestion.

Treats Made Just for Dogs There’s no shortage of commercially available dog treats designed with flavors dogs adore, such as bacon, liver, or chicken. Look for natural and minimally processed treats to ensure your dog’s health isn’t compromised by added sugars or artificial additives.

Foods to Avoid While dogs love many types of food, there are some they should never eat:

Chocolate Grapes and raisins Onions and garlic Xylitol (artificial sweetener) Fatty or fried foods These foods can be toxic and cause serious health issues.

How to Discover Your Dog’s Favorite Food Every dog is unique, and their preferences may vary. Experiment with different options, always introducing new foods gradually and in moderation. Observe how your dog reacts to each new addition. Wagging tails, excited barks, or a clean bowl are good indicators that you’ve found a winner!

The food your dog enjoys the most is often a combination of what’s naturally tasty to them and what fits their individual personality and preferences. By prioritizing nutritious and dog-safe options, you can keep mealtime enjoyable and healthy. After all, a happy, well-fed dog is a happy companion for life!
