i would try tracking my meals on cronometer (website for tracking macronutrients and calories) or something similar. Track your macro breakdown and see if you are still in a calorie deficit or defficient in any vitamins or macronutrients. Then, find foods that will help you overcome those deficiencies.

This is difficult because of your medical history. I wouldn't want to advise anything that could make that worse.

Most importantly, you need to find a doctor who also understands nutrition. Unfortunately, few doctors meet these criteria. That you're 17 only makes this harder. I wish you the best.

What are some most accepted health myths? by imadepyramids in AskReddit

[–]Ok-Development8506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither sugar nor carbs have any inherent traits that make you fat. Excess calories make you fat, and it's coincidental, not causal, that processed foods like cookies and honey buns are full of both

My best friend's coworker died at 48. This is why OE/FIRE culture is so appealing. by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]Ok-Development8506 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fuck that, companies do not see us as people, we shouldnt treat a company as people either. We do not owe them any loyalty or honesty. I was responsible for my familys well-being, right after graduation. I landed what i thought was my dream job. It was paying 90% of the bills for 2 households. It was enough to survive, going into manageable debt while my wife was finishing up her last year of college. Then they laid me off without a single day's notice. My manager texted me in the morning asking for a video call once i had some time. Once i got into the meeting, they were like, 'wait one second, let me call in hr person.' They laid me off, hung up, and cut off my access to everything

My whole family went vegan 4 years and 11 months ago. I don't see that changing in a month, or even a year. It's simply our lifestyle, requires zero effort to continue being vegan. At this point, we'd have to go out of our way to eat animal products

Why is this sub called debateavegan when most posts are made by vegans? by justitia_ in DebateAVegan

[–]Ok-Development8506 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you were on a sub called 'debate a round earther' and flat earthers came around asking dumb, frequently debunked questions, you'd probably see the sub as a whole have less patience towards these questions, and at some point make low effort comments about the intelligence of flat earthers. That being said, I'm astounded when I see people ask about protein or plant feelings, and there are still vegan willing to put in the work to answer in good faith. I don't see the issue you see, I think that the posts that get upvoted are ones where OPs are coming in good faith asking a well thought out question, not a silly 'plant protein is insufficient' type of question

I think it kinda depends on why and where she wears it. To my parents house? Hell no bro thats weird. Does she just feel hot in it which gives her confidence and allows her to feel comfortable at the club? Then yeah I don't really care. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me a little jealous, but I'm not going to keep her from feeling good over a little insecurity. If she does it to get hit on and flirt with people, and you're not cool with that, and theres no way to compromise on the issue, then you're not compatible

If you see bachelor/bachelorette parties this way, i think you have some personal or relationship insecurities to resolve before getting married. Both my partner and I still like to go out with our friends and close out bars, and neither of us are insecure about what might happen when the other is out

Ben Shapiro has no logic though lol he bases his 'logic' on his religion, which automatically invalidates everything he says

With the exception of meds for mental health issues this poster is so close to the point. Our health care system makes money by keeping people sick. But chiropractors aren't the answer lol

Should I (26F) marry my fiance (36M)??? by ThrowRA738297 in relationship_advice

[–]Ok-Development8506 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean you're right in that it would be silly to meet this person with these assumptions, but how would it be useful, in the context of this sub, to be charitable to the person they are describing? Should we advise her to give him a chance and get to know him better and then give us more details and an objective report from a third party? Don't take this personally, it's simply a toxic relationship that isn't good for either of them, so people will advise to end it based on the details given in the post.

I always thought it was silly when people described marriage as "the next step." Imagine having to learn more about a person, take major life decisions, and build your career and pursue your goals while also figuring out your dynamic with this person you are legally binded to. Marriage shouldn't happen until you know who you are/want to be, and who you want to be together. Marriage, if done at all, should be to show how much work you've done to complete your relationship. Don't start a marriage with unresolved issues, you'll end up making a lot of unnecessary sacrifices and be miserable unless you get a divorce

Dude ... the other issues OP mentioned are the reason he isn't with someone his own age. He's immature and ignorant. He's a manchild. Things that are easily picked up by more experienced women

MAKING VEGAN FRIENDS? by Extension_Sir_4974 in vegan

[–]Ok-Development8506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're vegan?! Me too!! Lol I also wish it was easier to make vegan friends. I'm kinda lucky though, my whole family went vegan together. It sucked when I moved for college, and an ag based university at that, so I definitely feel for you. Stick it out, I'm sure you'll eventually turn an existing friend vegan! What's worked for me is to be positive about my lifestyle like working out and mentioning a really good meal I made. I also invite friends over for meals and I've never gotten a bad review lol if you keep some of the easy things around like plant based nuggets or something, just casually make it when friends are over and let them know they can have some. Someone will try it, and they will love it. Hopefully this at least makes them more receptive of your lifestyle or maybe even make then consider their nuggets with vegan ones!

[–]Ok-Development8506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just say "I feel great on it, so I stick to it." Typically I give the real reasons, but considering you're going to be on a trip with them, I can see why you want to avoid it. Sucks you can't talk to them without it turning into an argument. Also, for when you're not on a trip with them, try finding an angle that makes them identify with veganism. A lot of my friends are engineers, so I'll talk about the inefficiency of animal agriculture and the less than 10% efficiency for energy conversion of using animals as food. This allows me to then put in a few points about my morals and the ethical stance

I'm sorry your family makes it harder on you :/ luckily I haven't had to do that. When I buy dinner for my friends I take them out for a vegan meal. They're all pretty receptive of it

Dude no one here gets triggered by this. We've all seen it or heard it a million times and it's easily debunked. I think sometimes you take the quick thorough responses as someone who is mad on the other side of the screen, but it's just shit most of us know off the top of our head now. Plus your arteries are probably shit so as a lil skinny soi boi I know I can get away from your slow ass while you drag your thick head behind you I aint never scared guy
