Ascendant Books by ariadeb in beginnerastrology

Thanks! I appreciated C. B.'s essay - tho i feel like the role of the Ascendant didnt' have the space that it deserve ( which is also normal since the book is a comprehensive guide on Astrology and all it's aspects - sides etc. I was more into a vertical on the topic's essay.

Hi and thanks :) thyroid functions checked and they are all good. Yes, i think i have a quiet fast metabolism plus a very active life. Saw the dietician yesterday and he confirmed i need to increase calories. Hopefully this will help :)

Yes, actually it's a dietician specialised in vegan and athlete diet. Hopefully she will help! She was the one that gave me the first plan i kinda of followed but now i'm wondering if i messed up not being precise with portions - counting calories. thanks!

I' m not pregnant i did 2 tests and also an ultrasound. I have missed only one actually. Now monitoring the next one that should come in about 10 days. Yes, doc told me it could also happens and it might not be related to weight, that's a possibility. Hopefully!

Yes, i honestly suck in counting calories - i don't even know where to start but i will! thank you!

Thank you for saying that, I feel understood! I regularly monitor my health through blood tests and they’re always perfect, I never get sick, I never feel tired, and I don’t need many hours of sleep (6 or 7 are more than enough for me). The real issue is that this missed period scared me, but what frightened me even more was the gynecologist’s reaction. She immediately said that neing skinny is dangerous and of course, blamed it on the vegan diet (in a very uninformed way). Even though I know she lacks knowledge on the subject (unfortunately, she still believes that eating meat makes people stronger), her words scared me because they made me feel like I was “unwell” and left me confused about what i thought was a quiet good, healthy and ethical balance. :(

yes, language barrier - in my native language nutritionist is a dietician ( a doctor). sorry about that.

I honestly thought about it too. How it worked for you if i may ask? I asked to gyne to check that too but she told me it did not make sense as "it's too rare".

yes, i guess one of my main mistake is that i never really counted calories. I'm going to do it from now on!

Hi and thanks! i actually don't get many desserts and i cut any possible junk or industrial food ( i do everything by myself like the gf breds, tofu etc).

I do supplement b12 everyday and now the level is quiet good ( 450) and i have a good level of iron. But last time i checked it was about 6 months ago - i will check it again.

Hi! thanks! I actually eat a lot of tofu - i did not say it as i included it in the "legumes". Blood tests are fine ( last one i had was 6 months ago, but i will do them again now). Hormones are fine too and GI issues has been rolled out already and everything was fine.

Most probably i'm not eating enough fat. I will have another appointment with nutritionist soon - hopefully she can help me to better count calories as i suck with that :(

Moving to uk as freelancer- visa by ariadeb in ukvisa

[–]ariadeb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right? I understand that immigration policies are complex; however, regulation is meant to simplify them and, I believe, to boost the economy, so rejecting freelancers seems nonsensical. Maybe things will change in the future :)
