My doctor recommended eating 2 probiotic foods per day. I eat yogurt or kefir, but so many brands have so much sugar. Are cottage cheese, cheddar, swiss, or other cheeses probiotic foods? I've tried some non-dairy probiotics (kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut), but didn't care for them. Are there any other probiotic choices?1

I religiously track what I eat and even weigh and measure all my servings yet I *still* am not losing weight. WTH could be on? The *ONLY* way I'm noticeably losing weight is to not eat anything AT ALL for an entire day, which isn't sustainable.0

Is there a way to track added sugar alone as opposed to total sugar in Myfitnesspal or similar apps?

I'm doing intermittent fasting most days 18/6 and I'm transitioning to a plant-focused style of eating. I've successfully tackled my metabolic disease and my Diabetes is in remission. My question is how do I make sure I get the proper amount of nutrients with the lifestyle changes I have made? I'm also doing weight bearing excersizing a hour a day five days a week with the goal of flexibility and strength and mobility.0

Hello, I am a 37yr old female, have gone through some health challenges in the last 2 years since having brain surgery. A lot of medications and antibiotics have wreaked havoc on my gut health. Since, I have had severe brain fog and chronic fatigue amongst other things. I am overweight and really struggling to find any motivation. Do you know much about leaky gut? And how to heal through diet?
Thank you0 -
Hi. I’m struggling with macros. My goals are weight loss and increasing fitness ability. I am 54 year old female, 5’3”, current weight is 146 down from 155. Goal weight 135-140. I have my macros set at 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat with 1200 cal daily total. Work out 5-6 days a week with weights and 30 min cardio. Are these nutrition goals appropriate? If not how should I adjust? Thanks0

My work schedule alternates between days for a week and nights for a week.
Is it better to keep my meals at roughly the same time or should I be shifting my meal times?
I stay away from caffeine on nights and only drink water.
I eat 90% of my calories from clean food and never consume (junk food) while working.
I find that I always feel bloated while working nights. Any tips?
Thank you.0 -
Hello,
My metabolic rate is 1619kc; how many calories should I be eating to lose weight at a healthy rate? I exercise 4-5 times per week at a moderate to high rate, and am 59 years old.0 -
I started in January and I've lost 6 kilos (13lb) since, but recently my weight has plateaued at 74kg and isn't falling any further. I'm still on the 1,500 calories a day target and exercising hard. What can I do to break through this barrier? My weekly exercise targets are 28 miles walking, 2 hours 30 weight training and 3 hours exercise bike, these targets have risen slowly but steadily throughout the process.0

I am a mid-60's woman trying to lose about 20 pounds. I never seem to get enough protein, and love carbs too much. What is a healthy protein snack? My cravings are salt and crunchy foods.0

I've attained my goal! How do I meal plan to ensure I don't regain the weight I worked so hard to remove? I'm over 65, vegan, and used intermittent fasting. I've trained myself to drink coffee until noon and eat my first meal shortly after noon. I work out 5 days a week and hope to make strength training a goal for the year. I've conquered cardio. I am not averse to protein powder (in my coffee, or added to a meal). I'd love to learn to use macros, but not certain how to begin.1

What dietary requirements would you suggest for a highly inflamed auto immune body? It seems carbs help with gastric issues whereas carbs make inflammation worse elsewhere. How do I strike a balance and remain healthy without exacerbating symptoms?0
