| Yep, it's based on food with low quantities of carbohydrates and sugar. I also avoid industrialized or pre-made things. I started it last year by recommendations of a endocrinologist and my nutritionist. Besides losing weight, my body feels a bit 'lighter' with my currently diet and I feel more disposed. |
| I wish I did lol. I usually eat either way too much or not eat at all. My appetite is all over the place. Same with what I eat. I try to eat healthy while saving money so I make multiple variations of rice. I just bought salad stuff so hopefully I can shift to snacking on it. |

I've tried lowering my carb intake but then realized my life means nothing without that bowl of white rice for breakfast or lunch. I'm trying my best not to eat any more carby foods though as I'm afraid of blood sugar spikes. Have you tried brown rice? It's far from being the same taste, but it can do the trick. Although I was not a fan of white rice ever, so it was quite easy. Something that I still miss is white bread though. |
| fasting was the big key to my health and fitness been experimenting with 24 and 48 hour fasts not following a specific diet in particular. mainly eating rice, veggies, and meat. would highly recommend fasting if you’re curious or if you feel that your fitness is at a plateau |
| Ideally, I avoid too many carbs and sugar, but I usually just eat what's given to me. |
β Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. β |
| Yup. I'm always on some kind of diet. I have a feeling that I will die hungry and chubby. |
ysphyr said: NamikazeHime said: Yup. I'm always on some kind of diet. I have a feeling that I will die hungry and chubby. How about counting calories? I'm doing it not to lose weight and it totally helps! My coworker tried it for weight loss - one week she only ate Big Macs for lunch and still lost weight. The magic of CICO! Tried that one too. I'll have those 7kg more my whole life. I should probably try with some training. But my college schedule makes it pretty hard for me to organize some activity. |
| Im a vegetarian, on-off vegan and honestly I love it. Im not really all like "save the animals!!" (although it is nice to know I am) but I first went veggie to lose weight, before getting really into it. Its good because it means you have to think about what your eating, you cant just eat because your bored or anything like that. You have to think about what youre eating, check its veggie, check its cruelty free. Basically you dont just snack constantly anymore. Other than that, im addicted to foods with caffeine- coke, sweets and energy drinks |

But my college schedule makes it pretty hard for me to organize some activity. Well, you are pretty young, so maybe it's better to just enjoy your life and not to think about it? College is stressful enough plus you need energy to study But it's always nice to workout a bit if you want to. You just need to find the workout routine that suits you - I usually run or go swimming. If you want something of a more calm nature - yoga is a good choice. I'm too lazy for running, but swimming sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the advice! |
| I follow a vegetarian diet. So lots of veggies, fruit, lean protein, water and nuts for me. Oh yeah, and protein shakes 'cause I work out daily |
| I eat what I want when I want. I am very inconsistent. I felt best when i attempted calorie counting and having four or five small meals a day but it's too much a hassle. I just eat a mix if junk food and health food. On the healthier side I eat things like spinach, brown rice, mushrooms, kale, quinona, apples, kalamansi, hemp hearts, chia seeds, flax seed, pumpkin seeds, ginger, turmeric, heiratige almonds..etc ...I also oddly eat a mix of animal products and byproducts and vegan food which I guess reduces my intake of those things Unless you want to lose weight or have diabetes or schizophrenia or maybe bipolar disorder there isn't a reason to go on keto. A Mediterranean diet and the Macrobiotic diet I've read good things about and are more maintainable long term. |

| @Katagari You shouldn't overly rely on calorie counts. They actually often overestimate calorie content sometimes underestimate it. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/science-reveals-why-calorie-counts-are-all-wrong/ https://www.livescience.com/26799-calorie-counts-inaccurate.html https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/feb/18/food-retailers-underestimating-calorie-content |
traed said: I eat what I want when I want. Yeah this is me as well. I've never had an issue with my weight, so i've never had to diet. Not being able to stuff myself with whatever i like would be difficult for me lol. If anything i could stand to gain some weight since i'm on the thin side, but my BMI is in the green zone still so i guess i'm just fine how i am at the moment. |
| My pattern is I don't eat until my blood sugar is low enough to almost take me out, then I eat another meal about six hours later and snack the rest of the night. Typically noon and 18 - 2000. |
| Nico nico ni~eed a siggy like the all the cool kids Really wish we had a rep system so I could farm it and spam rep+ |
| >Keto Not even once. It's a meme diet. I don't eat any specific diet. I guess I eat a high protein high carb diet. Gives me the best performance when liftin. I mostly eat whole foods. In the future I would like to switch to a vegetarian diet (at the very least). |

And then I'm obligated to read it, stop it! Except the techno chart, that was actually lovely, thank you. Hmm I wouldn't say I overly rely on counting calories. There are different methods of weight loss that work for people and calorie counting has been proven effective. Personally, measuring everything and logging helps keep me accountable for what I eat. Well you can always skim read. Most info in articles is in the beginning middle and end paragraphs. Technically don't have to read anything unless it's a debate. I just like backing up things I say. Yeah I tried doing the counting thing and it just made things harder for me. I just go by rough estimates where if I eat a lot one day I eat less the next and just hope everything balances out. My weight fluctuates by about 5 pounds either direction. |
| i don't really follow an eating pattern, i mean, i don't really gain weight too easily, unlike some other members of my family, so i don't really have to worry about weight problems, though rn i'm trying to eat a bit healthier, I've been eating lots of fruit, esp mango, i'd also do some exercises sometimes, really just treadmill running since i have one at home for around 20 minutes, it helps quite a bit tbh |
| misato > asuka > rei |
| When I noticed I started to gain weight(getting OLD) I keep my caliroes at or under 2000. It seems to be working |
 |
| don't have a super healthy relationship with food but i go through phases where i count calories and keep track of macros. i also have little rules in my head i follow (non-dairy milk only, no soda, avoid pasta, stick to seafood/chicken). try to eat healthy but sometimes stress gets to me and i say fck it. having a routine/eating the same thing every day helps though |
 |
| No. I basically only eat once a day. I will eat whatever I am in the mood for until I feel full when I do. I have a bunch of badges and medallions from this shit from elementary to middle school since I had to bring my demographic up to get $$$ for my district. https://www.hhs.gov/fitness/programs-and-awards/presidents-challenge/index.html I do twenty dead weight pull-ups as a joke lol. Also I was in some kind of reading program where I had to read X number of books and I got a free Pizza Hutt pizza from the school. I read a lot of Goosebumbs and CYOAs. Gib free shit naow! |

| I do 16/8 when I train boxing (about 2x a week) and 20/4 when I'm resting, doing it for about 2 years now, I also have a bottle which I carry everywhere to make sure I drink a gallon a day. Diet consists of Mung beans, Chickens and veggies (High Protein/Carbs ) -- everyday. My health was always good so I didn't notice any difference, but I could see a good difference with my skin (glowing) ever since eating lots of veggies and drinking a gallon of water a day. |

| I tried OMAD and keto combined for a few weeks but it disrupted sleep way too much making me hyper when I needed rest. I think it's because I ate way too little quality fats... I would love to try this again once I can afford to buy steak, avacados, and high fat foods, every day lmao, but I don't have that luxury atm... also I exercise moderately and I think its better for me to eat more and grow considering my age. I'll probably try again when I'm in 25 or 30. These days I just avoid processed carbs as much as possible(sometimes like once a week/month i'll eat a pack of ramen noodles though), but mainly I just eat natural greens and cheap meat. I skip breakfast and only eat lunch or dinner. I've fasted for 5 entire days consuming nothing but salt water(you will get cramps if you don't) to see what all the hype was about, of running on ketones, and it was amazing. You feel so free, light and euphoric.. its indescribably awesome. It almost has me convinced that ketones are the better fuel source for the brain. I used to read a lot into nutrition but the amount of variables and advice is so conflicting... should you give yourself a free pass on high fiber foods? essential electrolytes and vitamins? In general I think timing is more important above all. |

| none other than i eat less sugar content as much as possible for a year now i tried 12:12 intermittent fasting at times though but my memory sucks so sometimes i forgot to follow it |
ysphyr said: deg said: none other than i eat less sugar content as much as possible for a year now i tried 12:12 intermittent fasting at times though but my memory sucks so sometimes i forgot to follow it There's an app for that - it's called Zero. It helps me a lot. And they also have tons of articles to read. https://www.zerofasting.com/ cool i might try that if i ever got a smartphone, im more of a dumbphone user |
| I try to, at the very least. Main thing I need to do is stop drinking so many soda's, I got better on that (used to drink 2-3 every day) but for food, breakfast is usually plain pancakes or bran cereal, lunch is usually sandwiches or these microwavable meals with veggies / healthy meats, and dinner is usually soups or stews. For snacks, I try to eat healthy stuff, like fruit cups or low sodium trail mix or cranberries. Overall, I try to avoid salty stuff or stuff with too much sugar. |

It'd be a disaster. are you already super underweight? Kids and people with health problems should definitely not do this lol. |

| I try to do inherent fasting, even tho I fail 90% of the time. |
| Today they say you're crazy, tomorrow they will say you're a genious. |
| Before everyone went into panic buying mode here, my dietician gave me a pamphlet to try to start the Mediterranean diet and I told myself that I was going to get what was recommended and at least try the foods that were on that. But for now? At least I'm eating more than just one meal a day, so there's progress! |

I started it last year by recommendations of a endocrinologist and my nutritionist. Besides losing weight, my body feels a bit 'lighter' with my currently diet and I feel more disposed. I don't try to reduce carbs, because seriously I love carbs, I'm just not eating them all day long. I'm not eating too much a day anyway, because I always had the habit to stop when I'm full and I didn't let people force me to finish the plate. So I guess, I got a good gut feeling (pun intended tbh) of what a healthy portion should look like for me, and small meals are much better for me. Plus, I drink a lot of tea and water and only coke or other stuff in a restaurant or cinema. I don't like it too much anyway. Besides that, I literally can't eat most pre-made things. I get stomachache from hell, if I do. ESPECIALLY these instant noodles that look like a quite disgusting cube of noodles and smell like ... I'm not kidding, one time I smelled instant noodles, there was an underlying smell in the air that reminded me of the sort of cat litter I use for my cats. I don't know what kind of deadly chemicals they are dumping in this, but it literally smells like shit. Once I tried them and I got the worst stomachache of my life. But I also get sick and I'm feeling very uncomfortable, if I eat too greasy or too spicey and salty food. Sometimes when I eat too sugarly, I'm not feeling well either. My body always literally fought against me, when I ate at McDonalds etc., which I did rarely anyway because of this. That was the best way to keep me away from this shit, because my body punishes me for eating it lol. Also, I'm rarely eating meat, like once or twice a month. And I'm drinking way less coffee now and eating less exotic fruits and chocolate, because environmental and ethical stuff and so on; about how it is produced (there is a lot of child labor for the coffee production and also rainforest gets lost a lot) and transported. Ofc I'm still drinking coffee, just like three to five cups a week. Back then it was three to five cups a day. I'm also not eating everyday bananas etc anymore. In high school I was counting calories for half a year, because I did way more sports than I do now, since I was on a pretty weird sport and healthiness trip. Now, if I'l feeling well and if I have my average BMI, I'm okay with that. Still miss the sight of having a little bit of abs like I got back then from the martial arts course and gym. π One of the hardest things to me was to reduce the consumition of coffee (caffeine restriction as well), I was allowed to drink decaffeinated coffee, but the taste isn't the same. I reduced from a daily basis (1-3 per day) to 1-2 cups per week. Reducing the carbs wasn't an option, I have to consume low quantities to have a normal life, as I could say. If I get back to eat normally I'd gain 20kg in less than 6 months probably. I thought it easier to accept and get used to this life once I realised I kind of have no other options. The medicine I'm taking makes my stomach very sensible, that's one of the whys I have to avoid pre-made or industrialized things. Sometimes you feel what's coming while you still eating something you shouldn't heh. I wanted to stop eating meat, but that's something hard and unviable right now. |
| I don't but I sure wish I did. I just eat whatever is there and it's baaad. |

In general I think timing is more important above all. I went nearly 7 days with just tea and an occasional saltine oyster cracker but wasn't for some fad Late on I started having clearer thinking for a breif time. You can get ketones from dietary sources. You dont have to put your body through ketosis. It doesn't last long that way though I've read. |
| I do intermittent fasting as well: 16/8. Not really obsessed with what goes in my mouth so I don't really watch what I eat. I do make my own meals and I eat homemade meals all the time. |
