Okay THANK YOU for saying “your body craves what it needs” is bs because that felt like bs this whole time.
Like you don’t need more sugar if you crave sweets that is NOT what that means. Sugar is a food that people crave because it tastes good/sugar I think is an addictive food??
Idk it just felt like people making excuses when they’re supposed to be trying to eat a little healthier (healthier, not low cal, not low fat or keto or whatever. Diets are bs but craving sweets does not mean sugar is healthy thing for your body rn)
People crave sugar because it tastes good, which is not a bad thing, and there is an evolutionary reason that sugar and fat taste good to us. Carbs are your body's favorite thing because it is SUPER easy for your body to break them down into useful molecules.
I'm not a fan of the idea that any foods are addictive and I'm skeptical of models that suggest "refined food addiction" is a thing with a measurable, real-world impact; there's a lot of debate in that area of nutrition science and to me it kind of seems like the tools people use to track food addiction aren't really examining the addictiveness of specific foods, but are decent screening tools for people who have compulsive behaviors around food (for instance, one group of people who the Yale Food Addiction Scale has repeatedly been demonstrated to be REALLY good at identifying is people with anorexia).
But your body needs sugar all the time, whether that's in the form of complex carbohydrates that get broken down into simple sugars by your body, or simple sugars that you stir into your tea that then gets sent to your cells as energy. If your diet doesn't have enough sugar in it, your body has a processes to turn non-sugars into sugar so that it can use the sugar (gluconeogenesis!). Sugar is unambiguously good for you in the way that fat is unambiguously good for you. You need sugar to survive and it's not a bad thing if you want to have a cookie or a soda or some candy, and again - your craving probably isn't telling you that you're deficient in a specific micro or macronutrient, but I still think that you should listen to your craving.
Like, I don't know how much you know about psychotherapy but the attitude that a lot of diet-focused discussion takes toward cravings reminds me of cognitive behavioral therapy. "When you crave chocolate, no you don't! Don't think about the chocolate, you actually probably need starch or sugar or something, let's redirect that into having a banana, or some frozen berries, or some spinach. Point away from the unhealthy craving and into the healthy replacement, or, better yet, ignore the craving. Mind over matter. You choose how you act."
(I actually think "X craving means that I want Y food so I shall replace it with Z, which is similar" "craving salt means that I am dehydrated and need electrolytes so instead of potato chips I'll have some soup" is how this goes most of the time. I think this is a diet culture thing, not a food positivity thing.)
And you know what I think that's a garbage way to look at both food and emotions.
When I'm craving ice cream it's not because I've been mostly vegetarian for a week and am low on dietary cholesterol (AN IMPORTANT NUTRIENT. Don't be scared of consuming some cholesterol), I'm craving ice cream because sugar and fat taste good. So instead of trying to pretend that I'm getting "what I need" from a piece of salmon the size of a deck of cards with no salt and some lemon squeezed on top, I'm going to scoop out a moderate portion of ice cream and eat it while focusing on how much I enjoy it. And I'm going to do that instead of sitting down with a pint and a spoon while I'm stressed at work and eating something that tastes good to distract from the fact that work is stressful. (And sometimes it's fine to sit down with a pint and a spoon but I will say that's generally best not to do while you're in the middle of something stressful)
And if you want to relate that back to therapy I see this as more of the DBT approach. I've accepted that I want ice cream so I'm going to eat it in an intentional way and enjoy it instead of eating so much that I don't want dinner, or that it makes me feel sick, or that I eat it without noticing it because I'm using it as a distraction instead of a snack.
I'm not trying to shut down the negative emotion or shun the "bad" food, I'm accepting that I have that emotion and I'm working this neutral food into my day so that I'll feel good tomorrow and won't get heartburn overnight.
So I see that you're trying to be kind of anti diet culture here, but I don't think people need excuses to eat sugar, and I actually think that making excuses to eat it is significantly less healthy than just eating the sugar (which, again, is unambiguously healthy to eat as part of a varied, filling, nutritious diet). It seems like you may have internalized some ideas about sugar that are not great even if you are trying to separate from diet culture.
Nobody is ever going to eat a diet so healthy and nutritionally complete that they don't want candy or cake or cookies sometimes. Food is not only fuel, it is entertainment and culture and comfort and distraction and celebration and a million other things, but it is not bad. I don't think there's a single universally bad food out there, or any food that never belongs as part of someone's diet (unless it's something you're allergic to - I don't care if you're craving peanuts, do not eat peanuts if you have a peanut allergy).
So it's okay to make sugar, you don't need to make excuses. It's okay to eat sugar if you're craving sugar, even if that's not what your body "needs". But also sometimes a craving is your body saying "I'm hungry and this sounds good, please feed me" even if you're not a finely-tuned spectrometer that's craving blueberries pie because you actually need antioxidants from the blueberries (you're not a finely tuned spectrometer, you don't need the antioxidants from the blueberries, it's perfectly fine to just eat a slice of pie).

Do you have any tips for starting a low carb diet? I’m trying to get skinnier than my ex’s new girlfriend before the work Christmas party
When I'm being good, my diet consists of
Eggs for breakfast
Romaine with chicken every day for lunch
Keto yogurt
Cottage cheese
Diet soda
Keto ice cream
small portion carbs (usually potato) with dinner
avoid all bread and rice
Sticking with this, I brought my A1C down from 7.9 to 6.5 in a few weeks and lost about 15lbs.

Eating a lot of fat, moderate quantities of protein, and very little carbs is part of this diet. The idea is to get your body into a state known as "ketosis," when it burns fat for energy rather than carbohydrates. This article offers a comprehensive overview for anyone wishing to begin the keto diet, along with a simple and efficient meal plan to assist them reach their health objectives.
What is the Keto Diet?
The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet that has been demonstrated to help with blood sugar regulation, weight loss, and cognitive performance. When you cut back on carbohydrates significantly and replace them with fat, your body goes into a condition of ketosis. Your body becomes extremely adept at burning fat for energy when it is in ketosis. Additionally, it causes the liver to produce ketones from fat, which are a fantastic source of energy for the brain.

Day 3: Surprisingly Decent Low-FODMAP Rhubarb Spice Muffins
While these muffins were in the oven, I kept referring to them as "surely to be disappointing muffins." I haven't had very good luck with keto/paleo baked goods (which this recipe was adapted from). But it turns out if you use normal ass sugar instead of weird stuff that isn't low FODMAP anyway, you can get decent to good results.
So, couple few caveats. The primary flour in this recipe is almond flour, which is one of the very many foods that is only low FODMAP in specific quantities. For almond flour, that quantity is 1/4 c. Some back of the napkin calculations inform me that this means you can have exactly one (1) of these muffins to maintain a low FODMAP diet. Ditto for the coconut flour, but there's very little of that in any one muffin anyway.
Low- FODMAP Rhubarb Spice Muffins
(makes 12)
2 c rhubarb sauce (I'll include instructions for making this)
1 c arrowroot flour
1/3 c white sugar
3 tbsp vegetable oil (I used avocado)
1 1/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp kosher salt
3 c almond flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp cardamon
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
For the rhubarb sauce: Start with about a pound of rhubarb. Cut off the ends and split the stalks lengthwise. Big stalks can be split more than once. Dice small and put in a small saucepan. Add about 3/4 c white sugar, mix, and let sit for 10-15 minutes. (This draws out the moisture. Do not, and I can't stress this enough, add water). Once there's sufficient liquid in the pan -- you don't need much, just enough to keep the pan from scorching -- cook at medium low temperature until the rhubarb is soft and about the consistency of applesauce.
Heat oven to 375F.
Using a stand mixer, whip rhubarb sauce, arrowroot flour, eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, and salt until thoroughly combined. Let mixture rest in mixer for a half hour.
Mix together almond and coconut flours, spices, and whatever the hell cream of tartar is. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the mixer at low speed until incorporated. Increase speed to high and whip until light and fluffy.
Divide out into 12 muffin cups, preferably with liners because cleaning muffin tins is for the birds. (Here is where you could sprinkle the muffins with turbinado sugar, which I will do when I make these again.) Bake until muffins are brown, 30-40 minutes.
Let muffins cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then turn them out for another 15. (This is less necessary if you're using liners.)
These were of course best directly from the oven, but the one I had this morning was totally fine too. (I'm keeping them in a ziplock.) My experiences with almond flour led me to believe these would be dense and hard, but they were surprisingly soft.
I would 100% sprinkle with turbinado sugar before baking if I did this again. Also, possibly substituting the 1/3 c sugar in the batter with brown sugar, because there's plenty of sugar in the rhubarb sauce already.
So, a surprising win after the disgusting chard fail.
Disclaimer: I am no dietician. I'm doing my best to minimize FODMAPs in my diet, but it's possible for me to be misinformed or mistaken about various ingredients.

Just got back from the doc. He said I seem to be healing up properly but if I still have persistent pain in my kidneys then we’ll need to do another CT scan to see if he missed any stones.
Have to go back for another ultrasound in 3 months or so.
I can eat spinach, potatoes, and tomato sauce all I want as long as I also consume enough calcium.
Avoid cola but other sodas are fine.
All stuff I already knew and was already doing other than laying off of potatoes and red sauce, and I stopped drinking soda all together other than the occasional treat.
He said that if I WANTED to go keto it might benefit my kidneys but isn’t necessary, and that being on a keto diet would be difficult because you’re supposed to cut out almost all carbs and at the same time someone that makes stones shouldn’t have more than a small amount of animal protein each day.
He also said that losing weight reduces the risk of stones and I kind of gave him a :| because I am mid sized at best. I don’t need to lose weight, but I do need to rebuild the muscle I lost while sick. For myself. He didn’t say that.
He suggested drinking a gallon of water per day. I’m not going to be able to do that, I already know it. I’m already in the bathroom all day at about a quart per day plus a couple other drinks.
Not getting to do any work because That Guy is home.

If i dont eat enough carbs I will
1. Stop pooping
2. Crave them to the point of losing my appetite for anything else
I hadn't had carbs in a week. Just some noodles here and there in soup and a little rice. And despite having things for pho or any random veggie/noodle/rice/tofu dish (i only went to the viet grocery this week) i just had a big bowl of butter noodles and like clock work pooped so much i filled the toilet bowl. I feel amazing.
Ive always been at odds with no or low carb diets. My body just doesnt like them, but as a person with pcos ppl hawk keto diets on you like its gospel. Ive really tuned into intuitive eating and, ive certainly cut back on sugary desserts, (i do love ice cream and banana bread) I dont eat candy, and i dont drink soda. But i just eat what i feel like i need when i need it. And life is good.

ice cream bread by bdylanhollis
recipe below cut!
recipe typed out by youtube user Rob Harrison. updates at the bottom!
Recipe: - 2 pints ice cream -- Note 1: Get real ice cream. Diet and keto ice cream breads didn't turn out well. -- Note 2: Despite the note above, Haagen-Dazs non-dairy ice cream did work out well for my lactose-intolerant family members, and they didn't experience any side effects (I made them a brownie loaf). - 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (1 cup for Update 2's brownie loaf) - 1/2 tablespoon baking soda - For Update 2's brownie loaf only: 1/2 cup powdered cocoa
Directions: - Let the ice cream melt, but keep it cold. I'm trying to nail down exactly how much to let it thaw, because this varies the cooking time. Best guesstimate at this time: remove from the freezer and thaw in the fridge for 3 hours. - Grease a loaf pan. I've been using cooking spray with flour made specifically for baking applications, completely coating the inside of the loaf pan, and it works every time. - Mix the ice cream with the dry ingredients, folding together completely. Make sure you mix it thoroughly enough to not have lumps of flour remaining. - Bake at 350°F for 45-60 minutes. Start checking with a toothpick at 45 minutes. If it doesn't come out clean, add 5 minute increments and check again. -- Note: The brownie loaf took the full hour. It may have been due to the ice cream used or the temperature and consistency when mixed (it was still rather thick).
I baked this today. After tasting the third piece, for, you know, science, I can confirm it is tasty. It's basically a 3-ingredient pound cake, and there's nothing wrong with that! I used Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream, but am now contemplating other flavors for my next batch.
Update 1: Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream gives it a lighter cake-like texture. The cookie dough creates pockets of chocolate chip cookie throughout, but they're not distinct; they blend in to the rest of the bread. I used Ben & Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough core.
Update 2: Using fudge brownie ice cream and substituting 1/2 cup of the flour for cocoa results in a brownie loaf.
Update 3: I cut the recipe in half to make a layered loaf with vanilla on top and chocolate on the bottom. Despite letting the pints thaw for the same amount of time, the chocolate was thick enough to hold the mixing spoon upright in the bowl, whilst the vanilla was completely liquid. The loaf came out perfectly with two distinct layers. Scared my dad because he thought he burned the slice he was toasting in the oven due to it being so dark.
Update 4: I made a brownie loaf and added sliced chunks of Swiss Cake Rolls to the batter. I saw occasional bits of slightly different colored areas inside the loaf, but I think it'd work much better if I'd used vanilla ice cream. Oh well. Sometimes science works, sometimes it doesn't.

I'M MAKING THE SOUP!!!
I baked some chicken breasts and shredded them to put in at the end, for some protein (that t1d life: "this meal looks yummy, but needs more protein so I don't get low in the middle of the night"). Then I started chopping mushrooms, and then my blood sugar dropped (it's been a weird day blood sugar wise, I may have made some poor breakfast/lunch choices), so I had to take a break. And then I continued! While I was chopping the mushrooms, I imagined Anthony Bourdain watching me and threatening my life because of my poor knife skills. But hopefully he'd be pleased with my mise en place! 😅
Pictured but not going in the soup: my Bombshell G&T hard cider (surprisingly good imo), keto cookies from Aldi, my diet soda collection (the Coke Zero is holding down the recipe I transcribed from tumblr), my bluetooth speaker, and my poster of vegetables in Chinese.
I'm now waiting for the damn onions to cook, and it's taking a while. I will be eating Hungarian soup in the US at a Spanish dinner time. I will report back when it's finished, but the mushrooms are smelling amazing.
I made Hungarian mushroom soup and it's a little too delicious to be real
