10 TIPS DIET

Here are 10 tips for a healthy diet:

Eat a variety of foods: Include different food groups such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your diet. This ensures that you get a wide range of nutrients.

Portion control: Pay attention to portion sizes and avoid overeating. Use smaller plates and bowls to help control portion sizes and prevent excessive calorie intake.

Eat more fruits and vegetables: These are nutrient-dense and low in calories. Aim to fill half of your plate with fruits and vegetables for each meal.

Choose whole grains: Opt for whole grains like brown rice, whole wheat bread, and quinoa instead of refined grains. Whole grains provide more fiber and nutrients.

Limit added sugars: Minimize your consumption of sugary drinks, sweets, and processed foods that are high in added sugars. Choose naturally sweet foods like fruits instead.

Reduce salt intake: High sodium intake can contribute to high blood pressure. Limit your consumption of processed foods and try using herbs and spices to season your meals instead of salt.

Include lean proteins: Choose lean sources of protein like poultry, fish, tofu, legumes, and beans. These are lower in saturated fat and provide essential nutrients.

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Water is important for digestion, metabolism, and overall health. Avoid sugary beverages and opt for water as your primary choice of hydration.

Limit processed foods: Processed foods are often high in unhealthy fats, sodium, and added sugars. Try to cook meals from scratch using fresh ingredients whenever possible.

Practice mindful eating: Pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues. Eat slowly and savor each bite. This helps prevent overeating and allows you to enjoy your food more.

Remember, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized dietary advice based on your specific needs and goals.

Drink Plenty of Water and Avoid Sugary Drinks

When following the keto diet, drinking lots of water is the most important thing to remember. In addition to preventing cravings, being hydrated is essential for keeping a healthy body and metabolism. Additionally, cutting back on sugar-sweetened beverages can aid in weight reduction by lowering your overall calorie intake. Instead of reaching for food when you feel the temptation, drink some water or unsweetened tea. Additionally, one should stay away from sodas and other sugary drinks because they frequently include additional calories that might hinder weight loss attempts.

Eat a Variety of Foods and Don’t Overdo It on Fat

It’s crucial to eat a variety of meals when following the keto diet to make sure you’re receiving all the nutrients you need. This calls for adding lots of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and healthy fats in your meals. Avoid exceeding the suggested limits for this macronutrient when it comes to your consumption of fat in order to avoid having a detrimental impact on your general health. Moreover, it is a good idea to stay away from processed foods that are high in fat, such as deep-fried snacks and snack bars. Many people follow weight-loss diet and exercise plans to help them achieve their goals, but these can be quite restrictive and exhausting.

Eat Lots of Healthy Fats

Consuming sufficient amounts of healthy fats is one of the mainstays of the ketogenic diet. Considering that many individuals equate fat with weight gain, this may initially appear paradoxical. But in actuality, eating good fats might make you feel fuller and less inclined to crave bad meals like junk food or sugary snacks. Avocados, coconut oil, almonds, seeds, fatty fish like salmon or sardines, and low-carb dairy items like cheese and Greek yogurt are some excellent sources of healthy fats for a ketogenic diet.

Plan Your Meals Ahead Of Time To Avoid Temptation

Avoiding temptation is one of the keto diet’s hardest obstacles. If you’re frequently drawn to sweet foods and meals high in carbohydrates, it can be incredibly simple to stray from your goals. It’s crucial to prepare your meals in advance so that you always have wholesome selections available. This might entail creating your own meals at home with fresh ingredients, carrying wholesome snacks with you everywhere you go, or making sure that you always have a wide selection of keto-friendly items in your pantry and refrigerator.

Get Plenty Of Exercise And Stay Active

If you want to lose the most weight, being active is just as vital as eating healthily and paying attention to what you put in your body. Make sure you exercise often, whether it be by walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling, to assist boost your metabolism and burn more calories throughout the day. Furthermore, keeping active helps keep you energized and inspired to follow your food plan. Additionally, one of the most significant benefits of exercise is that it lowers stress, which can help avoid emotional eating.

Get Plenty of Sleep and Manage Your Stress Levels

Getting adequate sleep every night and controlling your stress levels are two additional crucial aspects of the keto diet that might help you lose weight. Studies have demonstrated that people who are sleep deprived frequently overeat and engage in unhealthy foods, making it challenging to maintain a diet. High levels of stress can also trigger cravings for sweet or fatty foods as a strategy to deal with depressive or anxious thoughts. In order to maintain your calm and focus while working for a healthier, leaner physique, make sure to obtain enough rest and set aside time for yourself each day.

Don’t Be Afraid of Fat

Due to the misconception that eating fats will result in weight gain rather than weight loss, many people are scared to follow a ketogenic diet. But fat is a crucial macronutrient that supports good health and gives your body the energy it needs for its numerous operations. So, when following the keto diet, embrace good fats like avocados and olive oil since they will keep you feeling full and content and help you maintain your diet over time.

Track Your Progress

Another essential element of any effective weight reduction program is monitoring your progress. To obtain an idea of how much weight you are shedding over time, try tracking and charting your daily calorie intake as well as measuring factors like body fat percentage and waist circumference. This will keep you inspired and demonstrate how the keto diet may help you move closer to attaining your objectives.

Avoid Eating Out at Restaurants

Dealing with cravings and temptations is one of the major obstacles to following a diet like the keto diet. This is frequently made worse by eating out or attending social events where you may be surrounded by foods that don’t necessarily fit into your weight reduction strategy. Avoid eating at restaurants as much as you can, if at all feasible. Instead, choose to prepare your own meals at home so that you may have greater control over the ingredients. This will make it easier for you to adhere to your keto diet objectives and keep your progress toward achieving a healthy weight on track.

Get Enough Protein

Feeling deprived or hungry is the last thing you want when on the keto diet. Make sure to eat enough meals high in protein to help prevent this from happening. Fish, eggs, chicken, meat, and plant-based proteins like tofu and tempeh are a few examples of them. Furthermore, protein is essential to any diet since it keeps you feeling satiated and full.

Conclusion

To sum up, there are a lot of strategies you may employ to make the keto diet easier to follow. You will be able to quickly reach all of your health and weight reduction objectives by adhering to these straightforward recommendations and making modifications as necessary.

[zenkindoflove]

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 21

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 488,773

3. What fandoms do you write for? ACOTAR (active), Crescent City (active), A Song of Ice and Fire (former), The Big Bang Theory (former), Twilight (former - not on AO3), That 70's Show (former - not on AO3).

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?  

The Pon Farr Hypothesis (Shenny, The Big Bang Theory)

The Sweet Vibrations Discovery (Shenny, The Big Bang Theory)

Burn Forever With Me (Elucien, ACOTAR)

Summer Heat (Elucien & Erixius, ACOTAR)

Our Hearts Still Beat the Same (Elucien, ACOTAR)

5. Do you respond to comments? Yes! I try my best to respond to all comments these days. I like having conversations with my readers!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I don't do angsty endings. I'm very demure. Very mindful.

LOL, but no really, I almost always do some kind of hopeful/HEA kind of ending. But I have written some angsty drabbles. There is a Satharion drabble you can find in my drabble series called Mr. and Mrs. Ketos that is pretty sad for the prompt "to distract".

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Most of them. I'm a fluff girl. I think the happiest of happy is likely Burn Forever With Me because it's basically Elucien accepting the mating bond and going into a frenzy. Which how much happier can you get?

8. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes. Loads. At this point, the real question is when do I not write smut? And the answer is, not often.

My smut is very descriptive. I give people the manual. I like to make it immersive. I also have been told my smut is "smut with feelings" or "tender fucking". Which isn't to say it doesn't get raw and dirty. But I always am looking for what is the emotional core of this smut scene. How are they expressing love in this moment, even if it's one character snowballing cum into another's mouth? I also am always looking to make you kick your feet, even in the midst of a sex scene, so whenever I can, I try to show those little moments of tender touches that happen during sex.

9. Do you write crossovers? Yes! Actually I wrote a few crossovers when I was in That 70s Show fandom - notoriously cross overs with slasher films because loads of them had teenagers in the 70s haha. I haven't done one for ACOTAR yet, but I do have an ACOTAR/Crescent City Modern AU I've been thinking of for a while.

10. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not that I know.

11. Have you ever co-written a fic before? YES! Quite a lot. I've co-written with three authors. Two when I was in That 70's show fandom. And I've written two fics with my ACOTAR bff @crazy-ache and we have more plans in the future to keep writing together. I love co-writing. It's a great way to grow as a writer. And the creativity that comes from two brains is BIG.

12. What is your all-time favorite ship? I can't answer that. My OTPs are my children. All my ships I feel longing for, in different ways. I will say, I have been the most prolific with Elucien in terms of frequency of writing in a short amount of time. So clearly they have really touched a big part of me.

13. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I mean all the fics I abandoned when I was younger? Definitely those lol. But I actually don't have a desire to return to them.

14. What are your writing strengths? Dialogue. As seen above, I have written for a lot of sitcom fandoms, and when you write for those fandoms, you get practice with writing with sitcom cadence which really helps with writing pithy dialogue in other genres. I also think I am a very good introspective writer. I think I am best being inside characters' heads. I also do think I am good at smut. I wouldn't write it so much if I didn't think so.

15. What are your writing weaknesses?  SHUTTING THE FUCK UP. No seriously, I do tend to be on the wordy side. It's one of the reasons I get into drabble moods because I do need to learn to be more concise and try to execute a scene without making it 5000 words. I also write very wordy sentences that need to be slashed and slashed.

16. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Oh, I doubt I'll be able to do that. I only know English.

17. First fandom you wrote for? That 70's Show!

18. Favorite fic you’ve written? Ack! Okay, that is so so hard. I don't even know what I'd say. I guess, if I had to absolutely choose, I would say Summer Heat because I think it is emblematic of all my skills as a writer in one fic. And it's the fic I introduced Alexius - the first OC I ever fully fleshed out and developed, and that will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart because Alexius has given me so much confidence I never knew I had being a writer. He's really let me know that I can write original content with original characters on my own and shown me how to do it.

~~~~~~

No one tagged me 😭. But I ended up doing this anyways because I've been really wanting to and I decided I'd rather risk being a loser. But, to make sure no one else feels like a loser who wants to do it, I'm tagging everyone I can think of that I don't think I've seen do this. Sorry if you're tagged again and you did this! And if I didn't tag you I'm sorry. Please just be like me and go for it. At least we did it together!

So ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and fibromyalgia are two syndromes (collections of symptoms often found together, with unknown causative mechanisms) with largely overlapping symptoms. They're currently classified as different diagnoses, but there are plenty of people who aren't convinced that they're actually different things. The biggest diagnostic difference seems to be whether the pain or the fatigue is the biggest problem.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who, like me, couldn't possibly say which of those is ruining my life more. I, like many, fulfill all the diagnostic criteria for both. I have the specific patterns of pain and inflammation characteristic of fibro, but I also have the postural orthostatic problems (Stand Up Feel Real Bad disorder) and extreme fatigue of ME/CFS. There's no test; diagnosis is an inherently subjective thing.

This is just gonna keep being about medical problems, so have a cut.

I also have problems that may be related or may be separate or may be part of the constellation of physical issues associated with ADHD, like loose tendons that lead to terrible core strength and janky joints. So while generally the pain spots for fibromyalgia are considered to have no actual material cause, I am pretty sure that my right hip and shoulder are in fact fucked up, and fibro is just making it experientially worse. I've also got a rib that spends more than half its time in just slightly the wrong goddamn place. I have multiple friends who have hypermobility problems that make mine look like a papercut, but combining them with fibro isn't a lot of fun.

A few months back, at my bestie's prompting and with his help, I started eating keto, which is essentially just restricting carbohydrates so harshly that they represent less than 20% (or less than 10%, this seems to be bioindividual) of your diet, at which point your body begins building energy transport molecules out of fat (ketones) instead of glucose. This has a history of treating several conditions (originally, seizures, but now also diabetes and inflammatory conditions), well before it became popular for weight loss.

It was an experiment. Believe me, I have mixed feelings about the fact that it worked. At first, it worked really, really well. I went from mostly bedbound to up and working full days outside. I've started to hit diminishing returns and having to nap more often, but it's still a radical improvement. I just forget how bad it was too fast. I hate how fast we forget how far we've come.

I haven't talking about it though, because I am so conflicted about restrictive diets as a thing. This started as an experiment, and as an experiment I could sell myself on no apples no potatoes no rice no crackers no no no no etc for a few weeks. After a few weeks I could decide whether it was worth it. And now here we are and it works.

But I've gone through So Much food restriction, starting when Phantom was two and we discovered that gluten fucks us both up. Then the Boy was sensitive to so many things as a baby that I cut out the entire Top Eight allergens (let's see, can I remember? Milk, eggs, peanuts, gluten, corn, soy, uhh....others...) for a year while he was nursing. Once you've cut wheat AND eggs AND corn out there is almost no commercial product you can eat and you have to prepare everything from scratch. With a toddler and a baby. I was literally starving. I used a calorie tracker for a while and found that I was nearly a thousand calories short per day, on average. I could barely think.

It's become a huge depression trigger for me. I tell people that my last major depressive episode was triggered by not being able to eat dairy, and I'm not kidding. I'm struggling with it now, too. Most of the time I'm good, but still, despite medication, I get very low and I just want to be able to fucking eat something tasty and comforting and EASY. I just want...cheese and crackers. A whole piece of fruit. A baked potato. Rice with my stir fry. But then I eat too much fucking watermelon and I can tell the difference in my wellbeing the next day.

Food becomes a minefield. Every meal becomes a struggle. You question every bite, every symptom. At least once a day the whole thing is just too annoying and I decide to just not eat, because fuck it. I dunno if it reaches eating disorder levels, but it's certainly maladaptive. I hate that I've gotten here because what you eat actually DOES matter. it's like the question of how you talk yourself out of anxiety when the world is objectively falling apart.

But I can do the things I love. I owe all this garden progress to not having had a glass of juice or a bowl of pasta in four months. Not to mention the abrupt cessation of all my dermatitis problems, frequent "silent" heartburn, a ton of digestive problems, migraines, most headaches, and more. "Nothing is worth risking depression" but is it though?

I'm holding on to the hope that these changes will allow me to heal. That I'll be able to make long-term progress, as many people say they have, and reintroduce restricted foods gradually. That I'll be able to cement the opportunity diet gave me with regular movement and conditioning and slowly claw my way up the spiral.

But on days when I feel like shit anyway, and I can't have some fucking chips about it....yeah. It's not great.

Easy Ground Beef Stir Fry

My husband has been very motivated to get healthy this year. He does cardio by playing men's league hockey three times a week, weight lifting, and by eating right. He came home from weight lifting one night saying he wanted a simple ground beef and veggies and that's it. That sounded kind of boring to me. So I thought, why not make it like a mix between a fried rice and a basic taco meat. Here's what I came up with. It is now my husband's favorite meal!

Let me know what you think!

Beef Stir Fry

1.5 pounds lean ground beef-- I use 92% lean (you can also use ground turkey)

1.5 tsp cumin

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (if you like really spicy feel free to add more!)

1.5 tsp oregano

4 eggs (I use 2 eggs and 1/2 cup egg whites)

1/2 onion-finely diced

4 cloves garlic-finely chopped

About 8 mini red peppers thinly sliced

About 6 mushrooms/shitake or button work great in this

2-3 Tb vegetable oil-I've been using avocado oil lately

1.5 cups Spinach- rinsed, dried and chopped into ribbons (kale works too if you prefer)

Fresh parsley-optional

Cooked Rice

Teriyaki sauce drizzle on top

Jalapeno optional

Teriyaki Sauce:

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup dark mirin

1/4 cup granulated sugar

Teriyaki Sauce Directions

Heat soy sauce and mirin in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a slow simmer and stir in the sugar until dissolved. Continue to simmer about 5-8 minutes until it thickens to desired consistency. Allow it to cool while making the stir fry, sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

Beef Stir Fry Directions

1. Start cooking rice.

2. Cut up onions, garlic, peppers, mushrooms, and spinach.

Thought I would put down some of the foods that help me get through this life <3

Halo Top: When you want to reach for the Ben and Jerry's, theres halotop just nearby. Low calorie, low stress. It does have a bit of carbs and sugar and on keto that's a no no. so I usually only eat a third of it bit for those low-cal angels you can eat the whole pint guilt free.

Egg Life: PERFECT 10/10. The only downside is they taste like nothing but for me to have an alternative to a tortilla for my breakfast burritos, it's a godsend. 25 cals, no sugar, no carbs! DON'T get the flavored ones though they taste like straight doo doo.

Choc Zero: Tastes delicious, 50 cals per piece. When you feel chocolate crazy or on your period these are perfect. I recommend having it with a nice cup of coffee or tea. There's different kinds too like caramel crunch! Also here's a little trick, it says 6 carbs but don't be tricked. For those keto babes, it's actual 1 carb. You subtract the dietary fiber.

So 6 carbs-5 dietary fiber= 1 carb. I know some aren't aware of that and I thought I would share :)

I'll post some more foods sometime later. If you have questions either DM me or click ask anything if that's more comfortable for you!

VENT

Im actually so miserable on this second water fast I want to off myself cause like I’m stuck in this mindset where the second I eat I will erase in the span of 20 minutes DAYS of water fast suffering and it’s like I can’t ever stop I’m stuck and I wish I was normal.,. Where I was thin enough, like I kinda wanted food, not binge but i want idk a home cooked meal something like fucking wings or lasagna or something and I can’t have it cause it’s going to ruin everything, even a few bites… and it’s like I’m only 20, am I going to waste my 20s miserable? My body’s disgusting even if I loose the weight I have so SO many stretch marks I’m not kidding everywhere and I need to get them lazered off and I want a even skin tone and all this extra shit like plastic surgery slight tweaks to my face and weight is one aspect. It’s just sad even if I loose it, I still can’t wear crop tops and shir or low rise jeans cause of my extreme stretch marks that I already had since i was tall growing up (im 176cm) and then the huge weight gain in less than a year of like 25kgs or something caused an army to appear and then loosing fast caused more to appear and my body’s like permanently fucked. It’s sad cause I’m face wise pretty but like my teeth kinda fucked too so I need to pay for braces AGAIN and it’s UGH I’m poor my family’s poor my life’s in the shitter I’ll never get a boyfriend, the weight is like 10% of my worries but atleast I can wear idk cute skimpy outfits that don’t show skin like winter outfits with stuff like tights and long sleeve shirts or something. Anyways I’m just like depressed cause it’s like girl am I cursed? Ahhhejejeendjej I mean I want to be super skinny cause I want too so that’s a given but my life fucking sucks and I can see my 20s going down the drain from all this and then I’ll be a sad alcoholic / drug addict

Living like this makes me suicidal, I wish I was thin enough and skinnier where eating a meal didn’t do this to me… maybe in the mid to low 50kgs I can relax abit slightly and focus on maintaining the weight than loosing since that’s near my GW of 50kg. Wear as I’m like 66kg currently and I’m nowhere near happy so I’m not interesting in maintaining I want to LOOSE.

Ugh living like this is so shitty, no caffeine either no nothing but water >{^{!$|$| can’t even have gum cause it will cause hunger pangs and may break keto

I would drink broth but it will break keto and that’s the only reason I water fast

Quick weight loss and keto, it’s when you get past day 3 is when you loose since it takes me exactly 3 days of water fasting to enter ketosis, the 3rd day and beyond I will be burning pure fat (and muscle LMAO) and then I’ll loose some serious kgs so currently after flopping so bad I’m 44 hours in a water fast on the second day and I’m like… cause bitch I ate a few bites of some pasta, barely ate and tell me why the fucking scale went from 66.5 to 67.7…. Like you’re joking right… 1.2 FUCKING KILOS OVER NIGHT? that’s like almost 3lbs 😭 and then I snapped and I was like what’s the point… if a few fucking bites of the leftover pasta I mean small bites did this to me then I cannot eat

I weighed myself this morning I only went from 67.7 to 67.3kg … like I’ll KMS

To be fair I only peed and haven’t shit but the food was barely anything and threw it mostly away so I’m like girl..

Cauliflower Pizza Crust (Low Carb Keto Pizza)

Prep:

15minutes mins

Cook:

25minutes mins

Total:

40minutes mins

Servings: 4 serving

Ingredients

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

▢1.5 pounds cauliflower, florets

▢1/2 cup shredded cheese, or 1/3 cup soft cheese

▢1 egg, beaten

▢1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

▢salt and pepper, to taste

Pesto Chicken Pizza

▢1/3 cup pesto sauce

▢1/2 cup shredded chicken

▢3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

▢2 cups (packed) baby spinach

▢2 garlic cloves, minced

Margherita Pizza

▢1/3 cup marinara sauce

▢4 oz mozzarella ball, sliced

▢fresh basil leaves

▢red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the cauliflower florets from the stem or use frozen and thawed cauliflower florets. Grate them using a food processor or box grater.

Add the cauliflower rice to a microwave safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 4-5 minutes to soften. Alternatively, you could saute the cauliflower rice in a pan on medium heat on the stove for 8-10 minutes. Then let it cool to the touch.

Transfer the cauliflower rice into a nut milk bag or thin kitchen towel. Drain the cauliflower by squeezing it until all the excess moisture is out. Squeeze as hard as you can!

Place the drained cauliflower rice in a large mixing bowl. Add the cheese, egg and seasonings. Use your hands to mix everything together to form the pizza dough.

On a parchment lined baking sheet, press the dough dough down into an even circle. The diameter should be around 9 inches. If you have a pizza stone, that's even better and will produce a crispier crust.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until slightly golden, then remove from oven. You could also bake for 20 minutes and flip the crust over, then bake an additional 5-10 minutes for an even crispier crust.

Add the toppings and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
