what to do after consuming too much alcohol: a guide

trigger warning: explicit discussion of alcohol/substance abuse, addiction, forced v*miting, and alcohol poisoning.

NOTE: this post is primarily targeted towards people underage drinking, as well as new to drinking and drinking in an unknown/unsafe setting.

[ disclaimer: i am not a doctor, medical professional, expert or scientist in medicine. this guide exists only for guided advice on minor, non-fatal concerns. contact medical professionals if you are in any serious danger. ]

if you feel you've consumed too much alcohol - whatever amount you feel is more than you wanted or know how to deal with - I've created this guided post on my advice to staying safe.

this is a judgement-free zone, and intended to provide a safe space for anyone struggling with alcohol intoxication, addiction or first times. I myself am an addict, I started drinking underage, and I have experienced alcohol poisoning underaged. this advice is solely to provide support for anyone who may be in any sort of similar position and not sure what to do.

hydration

i can not emphasise this as the most important step. drink water. a LOT of water.

drinking water is the best way to come down from the affects of alcohol and the fastest. it can also prevent the intoxication from growing in intensity.

drinking water lowers your blood alcohol level (BAC), the concentration of how much alcohol there is in your bloodstream. the more water, the less alcohol.

even if you're not uncomfortable with being tipsy or drunk, drinking water with alcohol is much safer in any context. it's why drinks using high concentration alcohol like vodka are more favoured and casual than pure shots.

eating

another thing that can help with reducing the affects of alcohol are certain foods. namely: carbs. bland, plain carbohydrates are an effective way to lessen the feeling of nausea from drinking. things like bread and saltine crackers can be very reliving after drinking to much. however, avoid acidic foods.

rest

another one of the best methods to dealing with alcohol is simply rest. AVOID tasks of physical labor, machine operation (ex: cooking), and driving if you feel even slightly tipsy (which you can identify with signs like dizziness, blurred vision, and lack of balance).

stay inside or somewhere cozy and safe, if possible, like a bedroom.

avoid stifling your mouth or nose in any way (such as pillows or blankets over your face) however, because if you fall asleep, there is a higher chance or accidents like suffocation or choking as alcohol often strengthens your sleep.

purposefully vomiting

it is also an option to remove alcohol concentration from your body by forcefully vomiting, but be VERY CAREFUL with this method.

only do this if it is absolutely necessary, in the case you cannot get proper medical attention or your body will not naturally throw up when it needs to.

make sure to wash your hands before forcefully vomiting, and have a CLEAN, disposable space to do it such as over a toilet. place two fingers in the back of your throat and push down. the rest should come naturally, and be sure to drink excessive water after this.

recognise overdose

take note of any of the following symptoms in yourself or someone else, as they can be signs of overdose:

- loss in any amount of consciousness

- inability to walk

- loss of motor functions (such as the ability to use your hands, turn your neck, any movement you are otherwise able-bodied in.)

- vomiting - this usually only happens when you have had too much alcohol, it's your body's way of rejecting toxin that is too much for it. if you still experience any of the previous symptoms after throwing up, you most likely are experiencing alcohol poisoning and need immediate care.

IF YOU HAVE OVERDOSED/ARE EXPERIENCING ALCOHOL POISONING:

contact a medical professionals or emergency service immediately, call 911, or visit the nearest hospital or urgent care.

if this does come to be the case, know that whatever the situation, it is okay to need help. there is no shame in visiting an emergency room or hospital, receiving treatment for overdose, or seeing a doctor or psychiatrist. overdosing does not make you a bad person, and you deserve the help for it regardless of how it happened.

this isn't to say that drinking at all is inherently risking your life or wrong to do - the choice is up to you, and I, nor anyone else, do not have the right to judge you for that in any way.

this post is purely in the interest of your safety, it is not to shame anyone for substance use, and is not against drinking as a whole, only against harmful drinking. you have autonomy over your body, take care. 🫶

Greek Yogurt: The Trendy Breakfast You Need

Why is healthy breakfast so important? Well, I believe I cannot stress enough on the importance of this meal in our everyday lives. This is a well known fact that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And skipping it or eating junk/processed food as breakfast can indeed cause terrible harm in the long run. But with our busy lifestyles, it’s hard to prepare the extra nutritious meals since these require time and effort.

But what if I told you about super healthy meals that don’t? The meals that you can have as breakfast are super nutritious and can be made quickly. Well, Greek Yogurt is one of those. The rich in protein and probiotics makes it a perfect quick to have breakfast meal for you. So let’s get to know why it’s a perfect breakfast option, how to make it and also how to customize it with other dishes to make for that perfect breakfast.

6 Reasons on Why to Choose Greek Yogurt for Breakfast?

Well, its nutritious, super healthy benefits and it being a delicious delight are probably enough reasons. But what makes it so healthy? Let’s find out.

1. Protein Powerhouse

Greek yogurt is packed with protein and as we know protein is essential for muscle repair, growth and maintaining energy levels throughout the day. For those looking to gain muscles, or maintain their body weight, or just want to simply avoid the mid morning snack attack, the Greek yogurt is simply a must have.

2. The Power of Probiotics

Probiotic content is one of the star qualities of the great Greek Yogurt. Just so you know, probiotics are the good bacteria that help balance your gut microbiome, help in improving digestion, and boost immunity. 

For those looking to prevent digestive issues and improve overall gut health, probiotics are essential to be added into their diet.

3. Low in Carbs

If you’re watching your carbohydrate intake and plan to not exceed it above a certain level, then Greek yogurt is made just for you. While some flavors of yogurt may contain higher sugar. Plain options of these are lower in carbs, which makes them ideal for those on a low carb or a keto diet.

4. Rich in Calcium

Greek yogurt is a great source of this vital nutrient we know as Calcium. Regularly consuming greek yogurt can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis as you age.

5. Easy on the Stomach

Now this is for those lactose intolerant folks. Although every kind of dairy product is to be avoided if you’re lactose intolerant, Greek yogurt is easier for you to digest than a regular yogurt. So if dairy products leave you feeling bloated, then Greek yogurt comes to the rescue, claiming its title of a superhero food.

6. Time Savings

The mornings in a typical household can be hectic. While everyone is occupied with work in their lives, hardly anyone has time to curate delicious and healthy meals for themselves and their family. This is where Greek Yogurt comes handy. All you need to do here is scoop it into a bowl, throw on some toppings and you’re good to go.

Living a healthy life was never this convenient.

Different Ways to Enjoy Greek Yogurt

Greek Yogurt can be blended in so many ways, you name it. There are countless ways to have it as breakfast. Below are some of my personal favorites.

With Berries & Fruit Preserves

Adding fruits on plain yogurt can give it a unique twist without much hassle. Simply add fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of chia seeds for a nutrient packed bowl. The best part is you get a package of indulgence without the feeling of guilt eating. Plus, you can also mix in some granola for added crunch and that extra fiber and while you’re at it, toss in a handful of nuts for healthy fats.

The other way to have it is using fruit preserves or a swirl of nut butter. It makes it a sweet protein rich meal, to satisfy those sweet cravings. 

Infuse it as Savory

If you’re not into sweet breakfast then this could be just for you, as Greek yogurt can easily go as a savory. Try topping the yogurt with some sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, olive oil, and a sprinkle of za’atar for a Mediterranean inspired twist. You may also choose to do it differently by adding avocado, lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt for a simple dish filled with flavors.

Moreover, you can also use Greek yogurt as a base for savory sauces, dips or spreads as it makes for a great substitute for mayonnaise or sour cream. This quality makes it ideal for those who are looking for light meals without having to sacrifice the taste for the precious tongue.

Blending it in Smoothies

If you’re looking to sip your breakfast on the go then this makes for a perfect addition for your diet. Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a good dose of protein to turn your smoothie into a complete meal when it comes to intake of essential nutrients. 

You can add green fruits, and a little almond butter to give your day an energetic start.

To Conclude

These are the qualities that have made Greek yogurt one of the trendiest breakfast options of our inconvenient lives. Its versatility, nutritious value and convenience of making it is what drives it from market shelves into people’s homes real quick.That’s the magic this Greek food possesses. 

Talking about Greek food, whenever I’m in Houston I always prefer this one Restaurant named Aladdin. Their different variety of Hummus that goes so well with their pita bread and falafel. Plus their house Greek salad is absolutely worth mentioning, which is one of the best I’ve had in the entire state of Texas. So if you’re a fan of Greek food, don’t miss this hidden gem that’s available in Montrose. They also have one more restaurant by the same name at the Garden Oaks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What’s the difference between Greek Yogurt and Normal yogurt?

Greek yogurt is strained more times than regular yogurt which gives a thicker texture and a higher protein value. The other major difference is it contains less sugar and carbohydrates, making it a healthier option.

2. Is Greek Yogurt a good option for people with lactose intolerance?

While Greek yogurt still contains some lactose, the straining process removes much of it. This makes it easier for people with mild lactose sensitivity to digest.

3. What are the best toppings to add to Greek Yogurt for breakfast?

Greek yogurt is as versatile as they come. For a sweet breakfast add fresh berries, honey, granola, or nut butter. And for a savory option, try cucumbers, olive oil, tomatoes or avocado.

Can Cats Eat Twizzlers? Unveiling the Truth about Feline Diet & Health Care

 Twizzlers are fun for people, but it makes me wonder if cats can eat them. This article looks at how twizzlers might affect the health and well-being of cats.

Many people love Twizzlers, which are colorful and chewy candy twists. Made with corn syrup, flour, and artificial flavors, these sweets have a chewy texture and a sweet taste.

Cats are "obligate carnivores," which means they can only eat meat. Their bodies don't need sugars or other carbs. When cats eat too much sugar, they can get fat and maybe even get diabetes.

What kinds of food can't cats eat?

Is it OK for cats to eat Twizzlers?

Even though twizzlers are sweet, there might be a reason why a cat would want to eat one. Cats like to smell and touch different things, which could lead them to twizzlers. But it's important to keep in mind that a cat's preference doesn't always mean that the food is safe or good.

"Can Twizzlers be eaten by cats?" In small amounts, cats might not be hurt right away by twizzlers. But they should never be a cat's only source of food. If twizzlers are given in moderation, they are not likely to cause problems right away. Still, it's important to remember that the ingredients in twizzlers don't give cats anything they need to stay healthy.

Is it bad for cats to eat Twizzlers?

Can Twizzlers be eaten by cats? Some of the things in Twizzlers can be bad for cats. For example, some cats may have trouble digesting foods with artificial flavors and colors or have allergic reactions to them. Also, the high amount of sugar in Twizzlers can cause cats to gain weight, have dental problems, and have other health problems.

Why Twizzlers are Good for Cats

Even though twizzlers themselves aren't good for cats to eat, it's important to look at how healthy their ingredients are. Can Twizzlers be eaten by cats? One of the main ingredients in Twizzlers is corn syrup, which is a simple carbohydrate that cats don't need much of.

Can Twizzlers be eaten by cats? Cats need to eat a lot of protein to be healthy, and giving them sugary treats like Twizzlers can hurt them.

How many Twizzlers can a cat eat at a time?

Twizzlers are bad for cats and should never be given to them. Cats can't get any nutrition from these candy twists, and they might even hurt them.

Can Twizzlers be eaten by cats? It's important to put a cat's health first by giving them a balanced diet that meets all of their nutritional needs. Don't give your cat Twizzlers or other sugary treats that people eat.

Different options and extras

If you want to give your cat a treat that is both safe and healthy, try one of these:

Chicken that has been cooked is a lean source of protein that most cats like.

Cooked salmon is high in omega-3s and good for the health of your skin and coat.

Tuna (in moderation): It has omega-3 fatty acids and protein, but because it has mercury, it should only be given on occasion.

Carrots that are cooked and cut into small, well-done pieces are a good source of fiber and vitamins.

Pumpkin in a can (plain): It has fiber, which can help with digestion and stop hairballs.

Can Twizzlers be eaten by cats? As for cat food brands, Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, and Blue Buffalo are all good choices that offer well-balanced nutrition that meets the needs of cats.

Can cats eat Twizzlers, to sum up? Twizzlers might be a fun treat for people, but they are not good for cats. To make sure your cat is healthy, you should give top priority to a diet that meets their unique nutritional needs. If you want to give your cat treats, choose ones that are good for their health and don't give them too many.

The Workout Diet - The Complete Pre and Post-workout Nutrition Guide

Why are pre and post-exercise nutrition important? This crucial part of a well-rounded diet plan focuses on more than just counting calories; it helps you establish healthy eating habits that fuel your body properly. Pre-workout nutrition, akin to meal plans tailor-made for gym-goers, helps you hit your stride in the gym. It equips you with the energy, drawn from the right portions of macronutrients, you need to get through your routine with ease and effectiveness. Misdirected calorie intake can hinder you from achieving your peak performance. Post-workout nutrition, on the other hand, is just as crucial. The right combination of post-workout foods, rich in vitamins and minerals, is key to speeding up recovery, promoting health, and catalyzing muscle protein synthesis, for the ultimate goal of weight loss. Our personal trainer San Diego put together this comprehensive nutrition advice to help you get both aspects spot on and manage conditions like diabetes more effectively.

PRE-WORKOUT NUTRITION GUIDE

If you’d like to hit your goals in the gym and keep muscle damage at bay, it’s important to figure out what to eat before you get down to it. Our San Diego fitness experts, from their immense experience, outline the following pre-workout nutrition requirements centered around wholesome vegetables and other nutrient-rich food items.

Timing:

Before we get into any nutrients, let’s first have a chat about the best pre-workout nutrition and meal planning timing. This is also a critical aspect that could make or break everything. Here are a few important things to note about timing:

Get a full meal about 3 hours prior: To ensure you go the distance when you train, prioritize a full, carb-inclusive meal about 3 hours in advance (or at the very least, 2 hours)

Eat light 1 hour leading up to training: You may be held up and are thus unable to eat a complete meal in the above time frame. In this case, you want to consider protein and carb-rich foods that go down easy in terms of digestion.

The general rule of thumb: It’s helpful to remember that the closer to the workout you get, the simpler the foods you eat should be.

LET’S TALK ABOUT FOOD

You have plenty of options when it comes to choosing the best pre-workout meal. Here are a few that come highly endorsed by our San Diego fitness personal trainer:

Chicken and brown rice – this packs a nice balance of protein and carbs, making for a great complete pre-workout meal option

Whey protein shakes– These turbocharge in-workout muscle protein synthesis, and should be taken 1- 3 hours prior

Bananas- Eating a banana an hour prior can provide your body with the boost of energy to power through a workout. Bananas are rich in starch and sugar

Peanut butter- Yes, that’s right! However, you want to go for wheat bread instead and include a little bit of honey on your peanut butter & jelly sandwich

Plain Greek yogurt- About to lift some weights? Taking a Greek yogurt 1-2 hours in advance is wise

Some other excellent pre-workout meals and snacks, where calorie control is key, include granola bars, healthy cereals like oatmeal, and strawberry smoothies, to name a few.

What about hydration

Is it good to drink water before exercise? Yes. Water can boost endurance, focus, and performance. Water is often overlooked and not talked about enough in many pre-workout meal plans and diet guides. Here’s our take on how to hydrate before training, according to guidelines from the American Council on Exercise:

Non-exercising Men and women should take 3.7 and 2.7 liters of fluid per day. Individuals who work out regularly, however, need to take in a lot more.

In terms of pre-workout hydration, shoot for 20 ounces (3 cups of water) up to 120 minutes prior.

In terms of hydrating during a workout, you should drink about 10 ounces after every 20 minutes so don’t forget your water bottle.

POST-WORKOUT NUTRITION GUIDE

Let’s first start with what not to do or rather what you should not eat after workouts. When you crush it at the gym, sidestep the temptation of a celebratory drink. Alcohol impedes recovery and can increase dehydration levels. You also want to skip unnecessary sugars from consuming lots of energy bars, and sports drinks, while spicy foods are also off the table, particularly after intense workouts, as they can compound inflammation.

Post-workout nutrition guide:

On the flip side, what nutrition should you eat after a workout? Here are some recommendations from our expert female personal trainer San Diego:

Grass-fed beef- You will damage some muscles when you work out. A resupply of lean proteins is essential to hastening recovery. Other great substitutes are wild-caught fish, cottage cheese, almonds, and eggs.

Legumes- Whole carbs are a great post-workout option over refined cards. Options that you have here include unprocessed beans, fruits, veggies, and whole grains. These will help replenish the glycogen you lose during intense training

Healthy fats- Trans and saturated fats are generally a no-no and you should take them in moderation. But more ideally, go for healthy fats such as fish, chia seeds, nuts, and avocados

LET’S TALK ABOUT POST-WORKOUT MEAL TIMING AND HYDRATION

While opinions are generally clear when it comes to pre-workout meal timings, the jury is still out when it comes to the post-workout nutrition window, also known as the anabolic window.

Some suggest eating within the anabolic window, which covers the period right after you work out, specifically 30 minutes to 1 hour after training. The research and evidence on this however are far from conclusive. So you should be just fine sticking it out till the next meal. However, high-level athletes who train several times daily often eat much more frequently of Post-workout nutrition guide.

In terms of hydration, we recommend 8 ounces of water within the hour of completing your training. Some doctors further suggest that, for every lb of body weight you lose during training, you should make up for it with at least 16 ounces of fluid.

Conclusion

If you’ve been training for a long time and haven’t been getting results, perhaps it may be because of poor post and pre-workout nutrition. Getting this right is the first step toward success in your program. However, you may need to get an expert to craft a personalized diet plan since physiologies vary from one person to the next. Should you need advice in this regard, or a personal trainer to help you out, our gym in San Diego is here for you. Contact us today for more details.

 We'll go over the croissant and why feeding it to your cat is a bad idea. We'll also provide some alternatives so your cat can still enjoy tasty foods that are healthier than croissants.

Introduction

Can Cats Consume Croissants? People have long wondered if our cats can eat human food, and now we'll look at croissants in particular. We want to share croissants because of their buttery, flaky texture and wonderful aroma. However, the question remains: can cats eat croissants? To find out, we'll look at croissant nutrition facts, weigh their potential benefits and hazards for our feline friends, and talk about their safety, digestive compatibility, and potential poisoning indicators. We'll also provide you tips on keeping your cat healthy and feeding them in moderation. During this procedure, we will look for alternatives and supplements that will better meet the nutritional demands of a cat.

Croissant Nutritional Composition

Croissants are a delectable blend of refined flour, butter, and yeast. This mixture is a tasty treat for humans, but it does not meet all of the nutritional needs of cats. They include a lot of carbs, which might be damaging to cats' health in large amounts because they are carnivores.

The Advantages of Feeding Your Cat Croissants

Can Cats Consume Croissants? Let's face it: croissants don't have much nutritional value for cats. Carbohydrates, while a terrific source of energy for humans, are not excellent for cats. Cats mostly require protein from animal sources for their health and well-being.

Potential Dangers of Feeding Croissants

There are various concerns associated with feeding croissants to cats. Cats' digestive systems are not suited to manage large amounts of carbohydrates. Also, elements like butter and salt, which are commonly found in croissants, are unhealthy for cats and can cause gastric difficulties.

Is it safe for cats to eat croissants?

Croissants may be safe for cats if they are small, plain, and unseasoned. They don't add much to a cat's diet, though, because they are low in nutritional content. It's crucial to remember that what's safe for humans may not be safe for cats.

Can Cats Consume Croissants?

Can Cats Consume Croissants? Cats have evolved to be strict carnivores with digestive systems that prefer animal proteins. Even though they may tolerate tiny amounts of plant-based diets, they struggle to digest and absorb carbs.

Croissant Poisoning Symptoms in Cats

If you ate too many croissants, you may have a variety of symptoms, including vomiting and diarrhea. Croissants are unusual and difficult for cats to digest, so they may become fatigued and lose their appetite.

Prevent Cats from Eating Croissants By Accident

Prevention is critical. Put your croissants somewhere safe so your cat can't get to them. Inform your family and guests about the dangers of cats eating human food.

How Many Croissants Can a Cat Eat?

Can Cats Consume Croissants? If you want to share a croissant with your cat, give it a small bite-sized piece. But keep in mind that this isn't something that should happen every day.

How Much and How Frequently to Feed

Can Cats Consume Croissants? Cat snacks that are bad for their health should be provided sparingly. Croissants should not be given to cats on a regular basis because they are low in nutritional content.

Supplements and Alternatives

If you want to meet your cat's nutritional demands while also satisfying its appetites, nutritionally balanced cat food is the ideal option. Better and safer alternatives are lean meats and cat-specific snacks.

Finally, can cats eat croissants?

In conclusion, cats should avoid eating croissants, even if little amounts may not cause immediate harm. Cats have unique dietary requirements that are best addressed by food designed specifically for them.

Finally, Consider Putting Croissants in Your Cat's Bowl.

How critical it is to consult a veterinarian regarding your pet's food.

Can Cats Consume Croissants? Cats have different nutritional requirements than people, therefore be cautious when feeding them human food. Speaking with a veterinarian will verify that anything you purchase fulfills your cat's specific nutritional requirements.

In a world where we shower treats and luxuries on our feline companions, it's critical to remember that what tastes good to us may not be beneficial for them.

What's in croissants for food?

Made with refined flour, butter, and yeast, croissants are delicious. This mix is a tasty treat for people, but cats don't get all the nutrients they need from it. They have a lot of carbohydrates, which, because cats eat meat, can be bad for their health in large amounts.

Why feeding your cat croissants is a good idea

Croissants? Can cats eat them? Let's be honest: cats don't get very much nutrition from biscuits. Even though carbs give people a lot of energy, they are bad for cats. Most of the protein cats need for their health and well-being comes from animals.

Is it safe for cats to eat croissants?

Croissants may not be dangerous for cats if they are small, plain, and not seasoned. They don't have much nutritional value, though, so they don't add much to a cat's food. Keep in mind that things that are safe for people might not be safe for cats.

Croissants are a type of bread.

Croissants? Can cats eat them? Cats have evolved to be strict eaters, and their digestive systems work best when they eat animal proteins. Even though they can handle small amounts of plant-based foods, they have a hard time breaking down carbs and getting nutrients from them.

The issue is, a big majority of individuals do not know what truly makes candy potatoes more healthy, they’ve simply heard that they're “higher.” From a calorie and vitamin standpoint, each fries are very comparable. Trying on the comparisons above, an equal serving measurement goes to offer you just about similar vitamin, with the plain standout being the sugar content material (I imply, they're SWEET potatoes in spite of everything).

Most small fries at quick meals eating places include nearer to 4oz of fries, however as I stated beforehand, it varies primarily based on the place you go.

McDonald’s has very skinny fries, so that you’ll obtain extra fries per serving than someplace like Chick-fil-A, which gives massive waffle fries.

The vitamin info listed for these eating places are both for the standard facet of fries or a medium. This leads us to our subsequent measurement… The serving measurement for a medium or customary facet of fries can fluctuate drastically, as seen by the distinction between Burger King, with 370 energy, and 5 Guys, with over 950 energy. Clearly the quantity of fries you’ll obtain will differ, so it’s not precisely an apples-to-apples comparability for all of them. And eventually, we now have massive fries. Much like small fries, there are a handful of institutions that don’t supply massive fries: In-N-Out, Elevating Cane’s, Popeyes, Shake Shack, and Taco Bell.

Keto Weight Loss - What to Expect After 1 Week 2023

Keto Weight Loss - What to Expect After 1 Week 2023

The keto diet is an eating plan that puts your body into a state of ketosis, where it uses fat for fuel. This transition period can leave you feeling a little sluggish.

You may also experience what’s called the keto flu, which can include nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. But don’t worry — these are normal symptoms, and they’ll dissipate soon.

1. Weight Loss

The keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that encourages you to eat a lot of meat and vegetables. The diet can be helpful for losing weight and improving health markers.

The main benefit of the keto diet is that it helps your body switch to a metabolic state called ketosis, which burns fat instead of sugar for fuel. This makes it easier for your body to use fat as energy, which can lead to dramatic weight loss.

It also can improve your mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety. And it may help reduce or prevent seizures in people with epilepsy, according to one study published in 2016.

However, the keto diet is not recommended for everyone. Those with kidney damage or diabetes, for example, should avoid it, as it can lead to dangerous blood sugar levels. Those with heart disease, pregnant women, and people who have had their gallbladder removed should also avoid it.

2. Energy

The ketogenic diet can help individuals lose weight by increasing the production of ketone bodies, which are natural byproducts of fat burning. These ketone bodies can be used by cells in the body to fuel their activities.

The diet can also improve glycemic control and decrease insulin levels in those with type 2 diabetes. This helps improve blood sugar control and can reduce the need for medication, according to U.S. News & World Report.

However, the ketogenic diet can be difficult for some people to follow because it’s high in fat and low in carbs. This can leave people feeling hungry and depleted of nutrients, notes Lisa D. Ellis, a registered dietitian in private practice in Manhattan and White Plains.

Fortunately, there are some keto replacement foods that can make the transition to a keto diet easier for you. These include eggs, avocados, nuts, and seeds. These healthy keto-friendly foods are a great way to incorporate keto into your everyday eating habits and will help you achieve your weight loss goals this year!

3. Brain Function

Ketones are a group of molecules produced by the liver when your body is low on stored carbohydrates. These ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier and provide an additional fuel source to your brain when glucose is running out.

Your brain can meet up to 70% of its energy needs with ketone production and your liver can make as much glucose as it needs to meet the rest. This works well from an evolutionary standpoint, because hunter-gatherers typically didn't have access to carbohydrates for many hours at a time during their hunts, so it makes sense that they would be able to use a combination of these two sources to power their brains.

The brain is a very busy organ that processes information, sends signals and performs hundreds of other tasks at once. But it's also a very delicate system, which is why researchers have been studying how to keep it functioning as optimally as possible.

4. Health

When you follow a keto diet, your body enters a state of ketosis, which forces it to burn fat rather than carbohydrates. This can help with weight loss and is also a good treatment for epilepsy, explains Kennedy.

The keto diet is low in carbohydrate and high in protein. But it also requires limiting your intake of saturated fat and processed foods.

Some of the health benefits of a keto diet include reduced hunger and glycemic fluctuations, as well as increased ketone production in the liver. The keto diet has also been linked to improved gut health.

If you decide to try the keto diet, speak with a health care provider first to make sure it’s safe for you. You should avoid the diet if you’re pregnant, have epilepsy, diabetes or hypoglycemia, or are at risk for heart disease or cancer.

You can start losing weight on a keto diet by eating a variety of healthy, nutrient-dense foods and being active regularly. By the time you’ve reached your goal weight, you should be feeling great!

Homemade High protein Ice Cream Recipe

You'll need a strong blender or food processor to whip up your preferred protein ice cream. Xanthan gum, a thickening and stabilizing substance found in classic ice cream, salad dressings, baked products, syrups, soups, etc., is the main ingredient that many people rely on to give the chilled delicacy an ice cream-like feel. Since it's already present in most protein powders, you'll just need to add a teaspoon or so to your protein ice cream.

Recipe 1 - 

Banana Protein Ice Cream

Ingredients:

500g frozen bananas

4-6 scoops Vanilla Impact Protein

250ml fat-free yoghurt (use dairy-free for vegan)

50ml milk (of choice)

Method:

First, combine all of the ingredients until they are nearly smooth, without overprocessing. Be careful not to overprocess the combination, as it will begin to warm and become excessively liquid, making it unsuitable for immediate consumption.

Next, reheat a spoon under the tap, scoop the ice cream into a bowl, and consume immediately.

Pour the leftover ice cream into an airtight Tupperware container and freeze for future use.

Mix your protein ice cream every hour during the first four hours of freezing to keep it creamy. If you want, you may skip this step and simply thaw the protein ice cream for 15 minutes each time you want some.

Add your preferred nutritious toppings, such as cinnamon, chocochips or blueberries.

Recipe 2 - 

Ingredients:

Bananas

Peanut butter

50ml milk (of choice)

Sugar-free syrup or Choco Chips (optional)

Method:

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with nonstick paper. Slice the bananas and distribute them evenly around the tray.

In a freezer, place the tray for two to three hours, or until it is completely frozen.

In a food processor, blend the frozen banana.

In a blender, combine peanut butter and milk and process until smooth.

Simply scoop the mixture into a bowl and eat. For additional richness, you can sprinkle over chocolate chips or Sugar-Free Syrup.

Recipe 3 -

A peanut butter banana variation can be made by combining two to three frozen bananas, one scoop of vanilla protein powder, two tablespoons of powdered or plain peanut butter, and a splash of almond milk in a blender. The bananas take on the role of ice in this version of the smoothie. Additionally, chocolate chips can be added near the end of the mixing process in order to add some crunch.

Final Thoughts

The good thing about high-protein ice cream is that you can change it up based on your tastes and what you have on hand. The majority of the recipes call for one cup or less of your preferred nut milk, combined with ice, frozen fruit, or other sweet ingredients (including Oreos, whipped cream, pudding mix, or even cereal). Obviously, you will also add a protein source; protein powder, Greek yoghurt, or peanut butter powder are popular choices.

If you want to give your cat treats that are safe and good for it, try these alternatives:

Chicken that has been cooked is a lean source of protein that most cats like.

Tuna (in moderation): It has omega-3 fatty acids and protein, but because it has mercury, it should only be given on occasion.

Cooked salmon is high in omega-3s and good for the health of your skin and coat.

Carrots should be cut into small, well-cooked pieces and served as a source of fibre and vitamins.

Pumpkin in a can (plain): It has fibre, which can help with digestion and stop hairballs.

Consider brands of cat food like Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, and Purina Pro Plan, which give cats the balanced nutrition they need.

In the end, "Can Cats Eat Tortilla Chips?" Even though tortilla chips might seem safe, cats shouldn't eat them because some of the ingredients can be dangerous. If you care about your cat's health, you'll stick to a diet that meets their specific needs. If you want to give your cat treats, choose ones that are safe, healthy, and good for his or her well-being.

Banana pudding assembly time! 😎

I've been craving some for a while, and finally thought to get some bananas to make it with. (Not to mention a couple of good old peanut butter and banana sandwiches!) Those started growing spots overnight in this warm spring weather, and are a little past their prime to my own weirdo taste. But, they should still work fine in here!

I'm also needing to substitute some Maria biscuits for the vanilla wafers. Haven't tried that before, but it will hopefully work OK. They are very basic, fairly neutral light vanilla-ish cookies which do get used a lot elsewhere in very similar ways to graham crackers or the vanilla wafers.

That is some homemade pudding I stirred up last night, and left to chill in the meantime.

I totally would have used a pudding mix if you could find vanilla here. (Though, full sugar instant chocolate pudding is a thing here! Along with some vaguely moussey lemon stuff and several fruity just plain mousse flavors which should be good for some other desserts. We actually have unopened boxes of chocolate and lemon in the cabinet now.) Thinner vanilla custards are way more popular here. Plus, I wanted to use at least part Splenda to make the whole thing slightly less of a carb bomb. So, I cooked up something hopefully suitable.

Ended up subbing in some rice flour, since Mr. C forgot to buy cornstarch (double the volume of starch called for). And I used a cup of almond and coconut milk along with the dairy stuff, since we had an open carton in the fridge and it sounded good with bananas. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As you can see here, the texture didn't turn out as silky smooth as with cornstarch, which wasn't a huge surprise. That was fine rice flour meant for baking, so it didn't turn out quite like ground rice pudding either--sort of halfway in between. Next time I would also sweeten it less, but the texture and flavor actually turned out pretty good! May have to try that basic approach for some other flavors of puddings.

Pudding construction underway, in a potato salad tub! 😅

Which looked like a decent size and shape for the purpose, since we really don't need a huge dish o' pudding right now. And I was never a fan of the texture of the classic soft meringue on top, so no need for anything oven proof. Whipped cream is more my jam, in general.

I ended up filling in some of the gaps with broken cookie bits, but 6 fit pretty nicely per layer. Got 3 layers out of it (2 of banana), starting with cookies on the bottom.

Oh no, it's more of my awesome food presentation! 😁

I figured there might be some vanilla pudding left at the end, but nope! Looks like I guesstimated what size batch we might need pretty well--infamously bad as I can be at judging amounts. (MORE. If in any doubt whatever, just make more. 😅) Still a little cook's reward left in the bowl, at least.

One slight misjudgment, however: I forgot that the lid to that bowl fits a little down in, flush with the rim. Even some further aggressive dish tapping on the table wouldn't settle the level down quite enough not to smoosh the lid down into the gloopy pudding surface.

But, there are temporary workarounds! Once it does have a chance to settle and we scoop some out, the lid should hopefully go on fine.

The dish is now stashed in the fridge to sit and meld/soften up. I got it put together later today than I meant to, so it will probably need to wait for tomorrow. 😩 Likely a better plan, but sort of disappointing anyway.

Though, that should also give him a chance to pick up some spray cream for ease. (Forgotten along with the cornstarch. I was sorry I couldn't get out shopping myself, tbh.)

As it is, we do have that plain whipping cream that he was planning to use for something else, but no electrified means of whipping it yet. So, he'd need to wield the whisk to spare my wonky shoulder. Probably much better to pick up a handy can of the stuff tomorrow. Along with some more coffee to drink with it. 😅
