As a person on the verge of fatty liver and diabetes, I am always interested in the inclusion of so much high sugar/sweet fruit in the diet.
5 dates and one banana
the Joghurt ist lower sugar
Yeah, thatās what Iām talking about. Whenever I see them mentioned, Iām always curious as to why theyāre present. It just seems very counter-intuitive to me.
dates have been shown not spike insulin much in moderation of course.
I like bananas. I prefer it to chocolate.
I will try to reduce it , perhaps half a banana.
But compared to not eating them at all, itās still a contribution.
Again, these are just observations. I never eat fruit. Even before I stopped eating plants, I didnāt eat fruit. I never felt a need for it. I didnāt have concerned of fatty liver or diabetes: it just wasnāt part of my life. Iām curious what itās purpose is in your current diet, when youāve said you need to lose weight urgently. To me, those seems like quick kills to eliminate, and again, it seems that way to me BECAUSE Iām someone that just plain never ate fruit before.
Iām trying to understand, intellectually, the function of these foods in your diet at this time. As much as I say āChaos is the planā, I donāt feel that what we eat is a product of entropy. At one point, there was some sort of decision process that went āI will consume datesā, and that number 5 may have been involved as well. Same with the banana.
To me, itās an interesting decision. I donāt understand it from where I am sitting.
haha constipation was the main reason to begin with. they have been effective.
But I suppose I could eat less sweet forms of fibre.
I have always read that a lot of fruit and vegetables is good for you . I suppose I should eat more greens instead.
I believe this explains my disconnect.
When one is dealing with an obesity issues, LOTS of anything is not good. We got here by overeating. Itās now a question of moderation and restriction: lots exits the equation.
I believe there is room for fruits in a solid nutrition plan, but Iād absolutely lean away from sweet fruits at this time. Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, zucchini, etc. From there, if we move into any realm of sweet, at most, Iād lean into berries, but this would be where Iād really talk the restriction portion of the equation. Ask āWHYā am I consuming these berries and go from there. If you feel that fiber is the solution to your constipation issues, as you noted: there are non-fruit solutions there. But also, consider hydration. I eat a nearly zero fiber diet, and find that, as long as my hydration is on point, I donāt have these issues, but once I slack on that, itās a concern.
@QuadQueen has a much more encyclopedic knowledge of fruits and veggies than I do, and can hopefully share a perspective on safe choices/portions for someone concerned with fatty liver and diabetes in the pursuit of weight loss.
I am rooting for you big time dude.
thank you
done bike 18 mins 100 heartrate
Maybe not, but 1 date has 16 grams of sugar. By having 5, you had 80 grams of sugar, not counting the banana.
I would recommend, that with your diagnosis of fatty liver, to eliminate fruit and only consume non-starchy vegetables (this means no potatoes, corn, peas, legumes/beans, sweet potatoes, etc.). If you do have a starchy vegetable, limit it to 1/2 cup serving and keep it post-workout.
Lean protein and non-starchy veggies need to be your primary focus.
You can do this - but you need to decide you want to and then commit.
thanks Quad queen
I have been ill for the best few daysā¦on the plus side I have not eaten much.
I just bought some casein pbn 2kg strawberry for about Ā£23.
tastes ok.
What is the best way to take casein ? I had one overnight today.
Can it be used as a meal replacement too?
Been eating less sugar.
Iām confused at how often you opt for supplements rather than just whole foods in this situation. That said, a protein supplement is a protein supplement. Casein is known for being a slower absorbing protein, which can improve satiety over long times or be useful prior to sleep to aid in recovery, but itās a supplement rather than a replacement for whole food. Whole food is going to bring with it a variety of beneficial micronutrients and minerals.
thanks. ok to take overnight but not as a meal replacement for me then?
Once again: try zooming out on this from a macro level. What you have in your possession is a protein supplement. Itās function is to provide you more protein to fill in the gaps of your diet as it relates to achieving a desired protein total. Thereās nothing unique or special about it in that regard. When you find yourself unable to achieve your protein goal via whole foods, this supplement will make up for it.
Reposting this from a different thread, but it applies to you.
Dropped 80lbs in the last year while working in between 60-96 hour weeks, while never counting a calorie or touching PEDās. (Side note: I see this thrown out so often as a question of āshould I take PEDs. I have never had the freaking option lol. Idk where you guys are at with just ready access to this stuff, I doubt i could find some if I tried)
Anyway, Atlasās rules for weight loss:
Edit: I just realized I posted this the first time as a response to you two years ago. Did you follow through with it then? If not, give it a shot. If so and it failed, well thatās all I got lol
Thanks I got down to 110kg last year and reversed my diabetes and fatty liver. I used a lot of your strategies. Than you Atlas
Gained a lot over the Christmas period.
and January.
I bought 5kg of chicken breasts today.
So that and vegetables is on the menu.
I was sick after one of my wifeās birthday batch meals vomiting etc. So I might skip the present batch. itās probably an allergy or something.
Just to throw in my two cents, at your weight and where your health is at, you really donāt need to be taking anything overnight. Your body will be fine without food for the time that youāre asleep. Save the calories for your daytime meals.
