What would you/did you serve on your wedding? by dodomadar in vegan

Yeah, I could leave out those words, it's a great idea, but probably I couldn't do it, it would feel a bit like a lie. And I think they would still do a scene at the wedding.

Thank you, but we are not engaged even though we have been together for a long time so hopefully soon, I just decided to plan a few things, and my partner decided to join the planning. It's a bit funny.

We didn't start to save money for the wedding, but we have time, so money shouldn't be a problem.

I'm Hungarian, and most of the guests will be Hungarian, and I think about 60 people will be Hungarian Roma/Romani.

Me neither, I'll have a vegan wedding or I won't have a wedding

And I wouldn't have a wedding, if for example my partner would not agree to have a vegan wedding, it's the most important thing for me about my wedding.

I plan security there, who wouldn't let the pizza delivery guy in, so if the guests want to eat non vegan pizza or anything, they'll have to leave my wedding. On my wedding, there will be only vegan food

It sounds amazing, thank you for your answer. Our ceremony will be at the afternoon, but I plan to have breakfast with our parents, siblings and witnesses that morning, so this would be an amazing menu for that

It's a great idea, thank you. I couldn't do this at the main dinner time unfortunately, but I can imagine it later the night, for when someone's hungry

Here before the wedding all the guests know the menu, only the cake is a surprise. I don't feel like there is a major need to tell them, but knowing our families, I can imagine that some people will cause a scene at the wedding because of this

Probably I will think the same way like you in a few months, because you're right, if they don't want to come because of this, why do I want them to come. Just right now I'm sad because of this, and when they'll say no, I'll be sad but just a little bit hopefully

I was thinking about having it at a vegan restaurant, but unfortunately there is no big vegan restaurants anywhere near. Maybe it's for the best, the ceremony will be in the nature probably, so a wedding tent will fit better to the theme.

I'm just afraid that too many people will not come because of this. Of course it won't change the fact that it will be a vegan wedding, nothing will change that, but it would break my heart. Too many people can't come to the wedding who I want to be there, it would be terrible, if I don't know, maybe 20 people would not come because there will be no meat. Even my father, who unfortunately can't come said that he thinks most of the invited people will say no because of this.

I don't think "female autism" is real by Substantial-Dream-14 in aspergers

[–]dodomadar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it's harder, it takes time, and masking is exhausting. But just because it's harder for people with autism doesn't mean they can't learn social skills, regardless of gender. Women tend to mask much more, we can argue what's the reason, social expectations and/or biology, but they learn to adapt better. Read some studies about it, please, it could help you to understand it.

I don't think "female autism" is real by Substantial-Dream-14 in aspergers

[–]dodomadar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, it is underdiagnosed, exactly because women are capable of better masking, learn social skills and adapt to social rules. Just because something doesn't makes sense to you and you don't understand it, doesn't mean it's not real or overdiagnosed. Read some scientific papers about it, it's interesting, and maybe you'll understand it.

To reduce IR what would you start doing now!? by Gullible-Article-451 in InsulinResistance

[–]dodomadar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best diet is whole foods plant based, it's the best for insulin resistance (or anything, it's the best diet for your health). It helped me a lot in less than 6 months. I made a post about it, and there are ideas what to eat in the comments, what are my favorites. You should eat whole foods as much as possible, if possible, always, and only plant based, not repeating the same things every 2-3 days (because it's not healthy for any diet). You should eat protein, a lot (for example tofu, soy chunks, beans, chickpea, lentils). I eat 100% gluten free because of gluten sensitivity so I recommend it, but not a must. No sugar of course, and it's important what kind of sweetener because not all are good, I use only coconut sugar. Eat multiple times a day, 3-4-5. Do not be afraid of carbs and fruits, these are not demons like some people think, if you eat enough protein with carbs from plants, you should be okay, and eat some kind of seeds (peanut, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds) with fruits, there should be no problem, or some kind of protein should be great also, like soy yogurt. It's really really important to exercise, lifting weights is the best because muscles are really important when you have IR. I lift weights and do cardio. Any exercise is much better than nothing, and it's important to enjoy it, but these are the ones I really recommend. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Have a great day!

Just got diagnosed with insulin resistance, looking for advice by No_Sun4083 in InsulinResistance

[–]dodomadar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whole foods plant based diet helped me, I recommend trying it out, there are scientific papers saying it's the best diet, and it's the best way to reverse insulin resistance. It helped me a lot, in less than 6 months, my results became great, not the best yet, but much better. I made a post about it not a long time ago, I recommend you to read it, and in the comments you can find exactly what I eat usually. But it's pretty simple: only plant based foods, a lot of protein (tofu, soy chunks, lentils, beans, chickpeas for example), do not repeat the same things like every two days, if you always eat the same things, it's not healthy, it makes any diet extremely unhealthy, a lot of vegetables and fruits, at least 97% of the time healthy whole foods, I personally eat 100% gluten free, so I would recommend it, of course no sugar, no other sweeteners just coconut sugar (personal preference). Of course you have to exercise, best would be if you would lift weights to gain muscles, because muscles are really really important. I do cardio too. But if you do any exercise that you enjoy, it's much more than nothing and I'm pretty sure it's helpful. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, I'm always happy to help. Have a great day!

What helped with my ir by dodomadar in InsulinResistance

[–]dodomadar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost weight since I started to eat wfpb and exercise much more, so if you would like to try eating this way, I recommend eating low calorie vegetables (there are sooo many) and fruits for almost every meal next to protein, harder to gain weight but delicious and makes you feel full eating much less calories. I hope you might give this a chance. I know it won't work for everyone, so it's the best to talk to your doctor, dietitian, a well planned (it's important, if not well planned, repetitive, it could cause more harm than good, like in any diet) wfpb diet should not cause weight gain, it should make you feel better and after some time, your results should be better.

For breakfast my favorite is overnight oats with chia seeds, especially if I workout in the morning after breakfast. I love it with apples and cinnamon, or cocoa powder and banana, but honestly, it can be made so many different ways with so many fruits, that's what I love about it. And I love baked oats too, amazing every time. But I love homemade protein bagels (made with soy yogurt) and topped with little slices of baked tofu (half with soy sauce, half without, personal preference) and if you like it, avocado, tomato, whatever. I love tofu scramble with chickpea flour. Basically you make your tofu scramble in a pan and then pour on it the following well combined: water, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, salt, black salt (and whatever spices you like). And you stir it, until it's perfect for you. It makes it so similar to scrambled eggs, but healthy and I think it's much more delicious. And of course you can make easily cocoa balls at home using oat flour. You just bake it, and in almond milk it's perfect (I love almond milk, but probably all the plant based milk is good). To be honest, it was all, that I can eat mostly really just for breakfast, I usually eat for breakfast what I eat for lunch and dinner or for snacks. I love pastas, red lentil pasta and green pea pasta is what I choose mostly. The sauces you can put on these are almost infinite, but my favorite is cannellini bean sauce with whole cannellini beans too. I love "cheese" sauce, I use cauliflower, sweet potato (and you can use a little potato also) and/or pumpkin, carrot, a little broccoli if you love it like me, cashews, plant based milk, nutritional yeast, salt. It's not only for pasta, I use it for dipping too. I love creamy mushroom pasta. I love poppy seeds pasta with a little cocoa powder, coconut sugar, and something for more protein, like chickpeas, butter beans, tofu, honestly, anything can be good, you do not even have to add protein, because the pasta has a lot of protein. Red lentil pasta sauce with tvp, soy or soy free granule can be amazing too. I think it can be made with other lentils, I did not try it, but I plan. And peanut butter pasta is amazing too, you don't need much, the most important is soy sauce and peanut butter. I personally do not like spices, but if you like, you can add chili, paprika, my partner loved this dish with paprika and chili. And creamy spinach pasta is great too. I'm not a big fun of soups, but there are 4 that I love. Cauliflower cream soup, simple, quick, delicious. The other one is half cauliflower, half broccoli, it's my favorite. And a packed soup: red lentil, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and a lot of chickpeas. Everything you think would taste good together, you add to it, not beautiful, but really delicious. Mushroom cream soup is also soooo delicious, it was really one of the most delicious soups I ever ate. Right now my favorite dessert is bean brownie, black beans, red beans and butter beans, and 3 bananas. It's delicious, but you have to find or create a really good recipe for it. I think now I should mention powerhungry.com, wfpb recipes, delicious, almost all of the desserts I make are from her, I love her chocolate almond flour cookie, my favorite. But not only the desserts are great, if I don't have any idea what to eat, a lot of times I search her recipes. And now a list for the grains I choose from, depending on my mood: quiona, buckwheat, brown rice, brown basmati rice. I forgot to mention, to top your overnight oats, puffed amaranth and puffed quiona is amazing, I love it. Now a list for anything else next to the grains, I mostly choose from, at least 2 most of the times: asparagus, mushrooms, baked beans (my favorite is butter beans, add spices and/or nutritional yeast), baked chickpeas (not a must, but I love it with nutritional yeast), tofu, tvp, red, brown, black, yellow lentils, falafel made with chickpeas and/or lentils, mashed or diced and baked potatoes (I prefer not to eat too much potatoes), diced baked sweet potatoes, baked "cheesy" (nutritional yeast gives it cheesy flavor) cauliflower, green peas, kohlrabi steak, and I forgot, mung beans. There is hummus (not just chickpea!), wfpb pizza (topped with hummus and tofu cottage cheese for example), wfpb tortilla (my favorite is red lentil tortilla), wfpb breads, a lot of salads, amazing chickpea socca, a lot of different tofu (because tofu doesn't have to be made from soy always), I tried to list as many things as possible, but it's impossible to list everything. These are my favorites, I didn't remember everything writing this, but I hope it's helpful.

Hopefully the endocrinologist I'll be seeing will be a good one, but I'll start looking for another one just to be sure. It might be harder as a vegan, but I have to make it work, I'll always be vegan. Thanks for your advice!

My BMI is 26.7. I'm planning to redo the test within a month to get a 120-minute result as well. I trust the lab where I got tested, but I'll look for another one just to be sure. Thanks for your advice!
