Oceania wrote:1. I really like to snack fresh fruits ! I've ever had a sweet tooth since I can remember and when the feeling for something sweet and fresh comes up, I feel happy as a child to have a few peaches or half a watermelon or a banana icecream with berries. I can have dried fruits in the house without eating them in one sitting, I usually just have a few chopped over my morning cereal. The Starch Solution book says, that it's better to limit fruits to 2-3 servings a day - but I really don't want to - I love fresh fruits more than anything else - there nutrient dense and have a high water and fibre content - should I really limit them ? I even have an active lifestyle, so I burn a lot of carbohydrates daily - and I don't want to miss a nice fruit picknick with my friends in the woods
Oceania wrote:2. It's very hard and strict to me to stay really low-sodium at the moment. I buy my beans without salt and eat my veggies fresh and the Oat-Milk has a very low salt conent too. But in my main dish I really love to have a good pinch of herb-salt to it - it's so much more satifying for me with the salt - like I eat less and feel more easily "full" and satiated when I use herbs and salt as usual to my rice dishes for example. And sometimes I like to have a little bit of organic ketchup ( no added sugar ) to my potato wdges - which has salt in it too ... - is this really a problem or unhealthy ? What about the iodine content ? Doesn't we need iodine to have our thyroids function well ?
Oceania wrote:3. I tried to have brown rice instead of parboiled rice for a week but I really don't like the taste that much. I can eat it, but I tend to end up eating and snacking on anthing else to have the same satisfaction from the parboiled "white" rice. The rice I buy is a "parboiled" long-grain rice - which should have 80 % of the nutrients the brown rice has, because the vitamins and minerals are tranfered into the inner part through heat (?) - is it okay to stick with the parboiled white rice ? I have a load of veggies to the rice usually anyway - so I think I'll get enough vitamins and minerals from the veggies, beans and greens
Oceania wrote:4. Where do you get your omega-3 and omega-6 from ? Isn't this WOE lacking in omega sources ? Should I add a tablespoon ( 15g ) of chiaseeds to my oatmeal or salad to have a full source of theese ?
Oceania wrote:5. Is it okay to have a quarter of avocado to my salad everyday ? I don't have ANYTHING fatty in my food intake except for the oats which are naturally a little bit higher in fat. So when I would have an quarter of avocado daily I just end up with 18-20g of fat per day, which is 10-12 % of fat of my overall calorie consumption.
Oceania wrote:6. Have you tried intermittent fasting ( 16:8 ) where you basically fasting 16 hour a day ( So for example you have breakfast at 11am and the last meal at 7pm ) - is this effective to speed up your weightloss a little bit ?
Oceania wrote:7. When I have a pasta dish, which is like once or twice a month - not very often - should I take the whole wheat pasta or the corn pasta ? Which one is more healthy for me ?
Oceania wrote:8. When I reached my weightloss goal and want to up my calorie intake - should I make this in slow steps ? - like every week + 150 calories ? I want to end up to having a minimum of 2500 calories daily due to my exercise routine ...
