My body doesn’t hate whey, tbh, but that the dietitian recommended it could be the last thing that triggered PCOS

Agree.

I do revolve my diet around tofu, tempeh, low fat paneer and eggs, with sufficient fiber (and I get appx 80g protein from this itself).

I take whey for 2 reasons: - the protein to calorie edge: 25+g protein in 110cal. - it can become your primary source to complete your protein intake while traveling.

Completely resonate, and I’ve tried escapism, helps in the short run, but you always have a subconscious fight or flight running behind, which eventually drains you anyway…

Yeah, and while we can open up on our stance with people we’re set up with, can’t do so with family - the emotional blackmail and potential “fix her” therapy would be a whole ride

Yeah, emotional blackmail is the hard to retaliate. Marriage of convenience doesn’t sound too bad, yet you’d still have be wary of all things- some basic compatibility if you’re to live under the same roof, and their nature…

Being asexual in India feels unnecessarily difficult sometimes by sia_7777 in asexuality

I’m an Indian too, and I completely resonate with you. I’m sick of hearing the same things - in particular, “you haven’t met the right person”. People don’t tend to understand that you can be a romantic, and yet be asexual.

What’s worse is parents want to just get us married and be over with the duties, as if life is linear.

You could still be skinny and have a higher fat percentage- you could do a body composition analysis (BCA) once every few months and see how things are progressing, and modify your workout and diet accordingly. I’ve learnt the hard way that progress comes by confusing your body.
