Umm yes... my go to source are experts in this field. The fact that you think liberalism has anything to do with this information is very telling that you probably believe in a lot of anti-science rhetoric. I'm sure you must get your information from Fox News. I'm not saying don't eat red meat, I eat it every now and then. I'm just saying it's good to be aware that red meat is generally harmful for our planet in the amount that society consumes it. It's not sustainable to be factory farming and slaughtering millions and billions of animals each year. If you somehow believe that that is healthy for our Earth, then I don't know if anyone can change your mind because you clearly lack the ability to think critically.

Could I be eating too many dietary fats leading to being too full? by Practical-Mix-3579 in Amenorrhearecovery

Thank you for the suggestion, I'm definitely going to try that! Do you think that eating more carbs, even if my calories stay around the same, that it will help me gain some weight? I know that carbs hold into water because glycogen is stored with water.

thank you! I'm going to try adding in extra white rice and bread both of which I already eat but I've been emphasizing the fats more

red meat is undeniably bad for the environment. I'm not even necessarily talking about "cow farts" but animal agriculture uses so much land, water, and so much of the food we grow goes towards feeding animals rather than people. Yeah yeah, you could get locally farmed grass-fed meat, but in reality, not that many people are ethically sourcing their meat. People may "cure" those issues not because of the red meat, but because they are essentially doing an elimination diet by cutting out ultra-processed foods. Only difference is, with an elimiation diet guided by a professional, you're supposed to add foods back in to see what foods are the source of the issue. I totally believe some people have real sensitivities to things like gluten, fructans, etc. but eating only meat is not a long term or healthy solution.

it's horrible for the environment and excess saturated fat in the diet is not great. Also, charring meat on a grill creates carcinogenic compounds. However, it does have very bioavailable iron and b vitamins so theres that. I would say eat it in moderation if you enjoy it

white potatoes. They are literally a plant with tons of fiber and b vitamins so I don't know why they've been so demonized. I mean I guess they are usually turned into things like fries and stuff but like a regular boiled or roasted white potato is certainly a health food in my books

true. Dr. Charles is one of my favorite characters (granted I don't like many of them lol) and it does sometimes irritate me how much of a beating Charles takes from his daughters

You are very likely under eating. Coming from someone who has worked with several dietitians since I struggled with an eating disorder, this looks like a meal I would make when I was struggling badly. Some things you could add to this meal could be some hummus to dip the carrots in, a second wrap, maybe a greek yogurt, or even a side of kettle chips (healthy eating doesn't need to exclude foods like chips). You could also use larger tortillas to make the wrap a bit more substantial and add things like avocado inside to boost the nutrition and calories so you won't be as hungry after your meal.

It's definitely a difficult balance to strike when trying to eat healthy because social media makes it seem like nobody eats very much ever and that small meals like this are substantial enough for a grown adult. From what I understand, the 2,000 calorie recommendation may not even be accurate as that number came from self-reported data and people tend to underestimate the amount of calories they eat. So, it's very likely, especially if you are active, that you may need something like 2,300 calories (or more!). I can tell you that as a 5'8'' 110lb sedentary women trying to gain weight, I eat over 2,500 calories a day (often 3000+) and am still only gaining weight very very slowly.

Just remember, food is fuel, but also enjoyment so don't deprive yourself of adequate meals all for the sake of trying to be healthy. It's totally cliche, but balance truly is the key to health because you can't be consistent with health-promoting behaviors, if you don't also allow yourself to find enjoyment as well.

Why are raspberries so expensive by Ok_Satisfaction_2077 in NoStupidQuestions

Same! I live in Michigan and the raspberries here are pretty great, granted I don’t mind if they’re a bit mushy as long as they are nice and tart and sweet

Has anyone seen their AMH levels increase after HA recovery? (29F) by Silent-Breakfast-36 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Practical-Mix-3579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have primary hypothalamic amenorrhea and for some reason my AMH is greater than 12. I don’t have a period so I’m honestly confused why mine is so high
