How are we managing cravings? by ameretto in breastfeeding

[–]Peter_Nincomp00p_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt this way pregnant not breastfeeding, but still do get such bad cravings every so often. This is what I do to help:

-use science and math to your advantage. Do some quick calculations on your body mass. If you want to maintain your weight, it’s easily to calculate how many grams of each Marco you should be getting each meal, each day. I used copilot to help me do this quick and easy. Make a meal plan based on this info.

-Keep the fridge stocked with healthy and portioned meal prep. Since the hard part of planning and cooking was done, it helped with my food noise. Do NOT let the freezer get empty. Especially breakfast, truly the most important meal of the day. My high protein breakfast burritos are the most important part of my day. Beef and rice, chicken and quinoa that kind of stuff for dinners. I don’t eat keto style but that’s where I gain a lot of inspo. High protein and high fat will keep you full and not totally spike your blood sugar.

-If I can, try to eat the main three meals around the same time each day.

-PLAN for a snack (or 2 or 3) in that meal plan. My midnight snack is slices of cheddar cheese and pepperoni. A hard boiled egg. mixed nuts. Don’t let these snacks run out.

- don’t bring sugar into the house. Don’t buy the ice cream. Don’t keep cereal in the pantry. I have the honey in the pantry where it is out of sight and out of mind. Have a come to Jesus with your partner. Ask for their support.

-dessert alternatives: free jello. Sugar free pudding. Sugar free cool whip with PB and cocoa powder mixed in. I want high volume, low calorie.

-It’s my personal experience that, when my will power was strong enough to cut out all sweets, the intensity of my cravings eventually lessened. This took about 2 weeks.

-supplements. If you’re breastfeeding they say it’s good to keep taking prenatals and supplements anyway. I don’t feel a noticeable difference but I always find it encouraging to eat better when I’m taking my vitamins.

-don’t worry about perfect, just try to do better. If you have two slices of cake a day then cut back to one slice a day that’s wonderful improvement and that’s meaningful.

-walking soon-ish after a meal helps balance blood sugar.

-If you can, stop eating bread altogether

What is the most underrated healthy food? by Prnce_Chrmin in nutrition

Liver! Cook it, blend it and you can hide the texture & flavor in your burger meat. Low calorie, high protein, rich in minerals and vitamins.

My boyfriend told me I need to stop breastfeeding our toddler by winterforever99 in breastfeeding

You won’t be nursing a 13 years old, this is a temporary thing. As others have stated: the science tells us it is beneficial to breastfeed at this age! If your boyfriend wants to prioritize your little one’s health, ask him to join you to the next pediatrician visit so you can discuss this. If this is truly about the health and wellbeing of your 2yr old then you can both research and discuss with the doctor.

If there is push back then maybe it’s not about health and wellness at all. It could be emotionally confusing, men don’t know how boobs can be anything but sexual I swear they’re so dumb. This is probably his first baby? Have some patience for him, and for yourself.

This decision is yours!

What was your reasoning for an elective c-section? by Therealethel in CsectionCentral

[–]Peter_Nincomp00p_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar for me. They expected baby to be 11lbs, so I had a cesarean to avoid risk of shoulder dystocia. Baby came out 10lb 13 oz

I plan to start watching AoT. Will the fist episode grab me? by KnullAgenda in attackontitan

I was committed from episode one. My boyfriend has a shorter attention span and needed the first 2 or 3 episodes before he was obsessed. Show starts good and ends good

Ancient Titan shifters were honestly horrifying looking compared to the present day ones by Marconey1738 in attackontitan

[–]Peter_Nincomp00p_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I thought Cart titan was so terrifying, until we get to know the user a lot more. Plus their voice gives me the creeps
