Is eating only applesauce a perhaps overly sweet and not very nutrient-dense meal? Yes. Is it better than not eating anything, which was my original plan for the day until I could run to the grocery store after running around town? Also yes

#as the Vine of Yore said:#'dude are you drinking coffee for breakfast?' 'yeah. what have you eaten for breakfast?' 'nothing' 'I'm doing better than you'#paraphrasing #sugary food is better than no food #well unless you're diabetic i guess #but my point is junk food is better than not eating today #and this applesauce is full of vitamin c so i won't get scurvy either #food #i might be in a little trouble tho because all i had yesterday was gf bread #and i feel very lethargic when i eat all carbs no protein #carbs aren't bad my body and metabolism is just weird #like i can't eat pasta anymore because gf pasta is just so carb heavy i crash and feel nauseous unless i add a lot of meat to it #i speculate it's because bipolar and migraine disorder are sister conditions to epilepsy which is what keto is meant for #but i have no proof of that rn #anyway I'm rambling #and hungry #wish food delivery services actually paid their shoppers so i don't have to worry about affording tip

working with ur body౨ৎ₊ ⊹🍓

something that has caught my attention recently is living by ur menstrual cycle and it seems rly interesting to me so i wanted to write a post on it, and also touch base on some other things.

quick disclaimer : YOU know ur body best, so not everything will apply for everyone and thats okay

ATTENTIVENESS : be attentive to ur energy levels, and ur mood throughout the day. what time of the day are you the most energized? what time do u tend to get tired? whats ur ideal time to go to sleep? ask yourself questions like that to get a basic understanding of ur body and how it works

once you've established when ur the most energized, schedule and do most of ur work in those times, and during times when u need rest or you often feel fatigued, schedule things that'll replenish ur energy

DURING UR MENSTRUAL CYCLE : during ur menstrual cycle ur estrogen levels are at an all time low. ur iron levels will also be low which can cause some mental fogginess so make sure to implement lots of iron rich foods in ur diet during this time.

also during ur menstrual cycle a lot of women feel so TIRED so making time to just rest and be alone is so super important. dont put pressure on urself to do everything and anything, give urself the break u deserve. eat whatever ur craving, sleep as long as u need 💗

FOLLICULAR STAGE : ur estrogen levels will be a lot higher, so you'll have SO much more energy, using this knowledge u can schedule things accordingly.

this is a good time to do high intensity workouts, weight lifting etc. eat foods that'll metabolize estrogen 💗 like fermented foods and sprouts and lots of vitamin C

remember to listen to ur body and treat it well 💗💗💗

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔹𝕒𝕣𝕖 ℕ𝕖𝕔𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕖𝕤

By: @Chocolate-Root-Beer-Float2000

For Health/Fasting Health

You could always take multivitamins & call it a day. Though, here's what to do in the means of being thorough.

Vitamins:

Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps with skin, hair, & most importantly bowel function. Something about it just gets your whole body a jolt to just fuckin function.

Vitamin K: Vitamin K helps with blood circulation & bone health. K2 can also do this though it is more protein & metabolism based.

Vitamin B12: Speaking of metabolism, B12, it can help with metabolism most importantly brain function and energy.

Magnesium: It's great for fasting, because in the state of ketosis your body goes into during a fast, it looks into your body specifically to produce its own natural energy. Because of that, it can go by quickly. I mean, w/your whole body needing it to function & all. So taking the added supplement will help.

Probiotics: This supplement is good for keeping in healthy bacteria & getting rid of the bad bacteria to really help your gut function as properly as it should..instead of storing icky stuff it doesn't need.

Omega-3: Omega-3s are good for keeping your blood clean & liver healthy along with so many other health benefits that you can have fun looking into.

Vitamin D: Helps keep your body strong. Literally, it's like the glue to keep in your bones from deteriorating.

Iron: This is for blood production. Gotta keep that heart going for that body to keep working; & it helps with dizziness as well as natural body temperature.

Iodine: Last but not least. This is your thyroid's biggest cheerleader. It's there to keep it or put it back into proper function; it helps to prevent brain damage as well. Just like B12, at least in that aspect.

Things To Help Avoid Cravings during Fast/Binge:

Gum

Tea/Coffee

Broth

Soup

Veggies

Fruit

Juice

Remember:

Keep your body moving even if it's 15 minutes, a day 30 minutes, a day or an hour work up to it if you have to. Though again, I'm not your parent, so up to you.

Drink up to a gallon of water a day, even if it's tea. Do what you have to do after all.

Try not to stress. I know it's easier said than done, though that's what practice and keeping our own boundaries are for. Stress is the biggest factor to obesity these days because it puts your body into a state of stress to where it holds onto fat! Crazy.

If you're like me and fall asleep on caffeine, drinks with electrolytes, like Gatorade, can help a lot with balancing your blood sugar and the dizziness you may feel when overworked or standing up too fast.

That's it, that's all I got for now.

Remember, I can only recommend healthier alternatives.

Never force anyone to do something they don't wanna do.

Bon chance!

-Chocolate

P.S: If there's any misspellings or any information you believe I have wrong, let me know! I'd be happy to fix it.

I’m so so tired of diet and fitness culture that counts calories or calls foods empty or metabolism killers. I’m so tired.

A calorie is a measurement of energy produced by burning the item and measuring how much it raises the temperature of water.

This is not an accurate representation of how a body uses food. At all. Your body craves different foods at different times, uses nutrients like vitamin C or Iron. Listening to what you crave is a good way to tell what you might be deficient in, because your body knows what it needs and will try to convince your brain to give it.

Carbs and sugar are not empty or a “metabolism killer”. Carbs are quickly available energy for a body, something generally easier for it to take apart and use.

Fats aren’t evil. They’re complex molecules that help give consistent energy for several hours, and contain very vital structures that are used throughout the body.

Food is food. Humans are omnivores for a reason - because we need all kinds of foods which contain different minerals and vitamins and fat contents and carbs and proteins.

Food doesn’t have to taste bad to be worth those things to your body.

Your body doesn’t care that you’re eating guacamole and salsa with chips, it only cares that it’s getting important fats, sugars, and carbs, along with a slew of excellent nutrients from the fresh fruits in there, and a good dose of electrolytes and water as well.

Your food doesn’t have to be perfectly fresh or raw veggies with no sauce or 100% lean meat to be good for you. Calories effectively aren’t real. And if I could tear down diet culture all by myself I would happily make a bloody fucking massacre of the whole thing.

Supplements & Vitamins

Here's a list of some of the most commonly used supplements and their benefits. Please remember that while supplements can be beneficial for certain people, everyones nutritional needs are different. It's always a good idea to consult with a specialist before adding any new supplements to your routine, as individual needs may vary.

Multivitamin: Provides a range of essential vitamins and minerals to support overall health and fill potential nutrient gaps in your diet.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Promote heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation. Typically derived from fish oil or algae.

Vitamin D: Supports bone health, immune function, and may have a positive impact on mood. It's commonly obtained through sun exposure, but supplements can be useful, especially in winter or for those with limited sun exposure.

Probiotics: Help promote a healthy gut microbiome, aiding digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function.

Magnesium: Important for muscle and nerve function, bone health, and energy production. It may also help with relaxation and sleep.

B vitamins: Help convert food into energy, support brain function, and maintain healthy hair, skin, and nails.

Vitamin C: Boosts immune function, acts as an antioxidant, supports collagen production, and aids in iron absorption.

Zinc: Essential for immune function, wound healing, and cell division. It also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.

Iron: Required for red blood cell production and oxygen transport. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia and fatigue, but it's essential to get iron levels checked before supplementing.

Calcium: Crucial for bone health and muscle function. It's often combined with vitamin D for better absorption.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Plays a vital role in energy production within cells and acts as an antioxidant. It may benefit heart health and cellular energy metabolism.

Curcumin (Turmeric extract): Possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, potentially supporting joint health and cognitive function.

Ashwagandha: An adaptogenic herb that may help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and support cognitive function.

Green Tea Extract: Contains antioxidants and may support cardiovascular health, weight management, and cognitive function.

Glucosamine: Commonly used for joint health and may help alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Chondroitin: Often taken alongside glucosamine, it may help reduce joint pain and improve joint mobility.

Probiotics for Gut Health: Certain strains of probiotics can help restore and maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, supporting digestion and immune function.

Melatonin: A hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, melatonin supplements can help with insomnia or jet lag.

Vitamin E: An antioxidant that supports immune function and may help protect against cellular damage.

Ginseng: An adaptogenic herb that may help increase energy, reduce stress, and support cognitive function.

Prebiotics: These are non-digestible fibers that promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, supporting gut health and digestion.

Magnesium: In addition to its previous benefits, magnesium may help reduce muscle cramps, improve mood, and promote relaxation.

Probiotics for Vaginal Health: Certain strains of probiotics can help maintain a healthy balance of vaginal flora, reducing the risk of infections.

Cranberry Extract: Often used for urinary tract health, cranberry extract may help prevent urinary tract infections.

Resveratrol: Found in grapes and berries, resveratrol has antioxidant properties and may support heart health and longevity.

L-theanine: An amino acid commonly found in green tea, L-theanine may promote relaxation, improve focus, and reduce anxiety.

My lovely friends, this is a friendly evidence-based post pertaining to the risk reduction of a few well-known health effects of 4n4 and mia. Including: Amenorrhea (loss of regular menstrual period), anaemia, digestive upset, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, general well-being, and osteoporosis. It is quite a long post, but please let me know if there’s any other information you would like me to cover. 💕

🪐 Vitamins and Supplements:

• A-Z Multivitamin. Is beneficial for supplementation. For example, Vitamin C is a vitally important vitamin for the body’s connective tissues, including the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, cellular formation and maturation, resistance to infection, and an increased ability to heal. Additionally, B12 contributes to an adequately functioning nervous system, bone marrow, and intestinal tract. It also acts to increase metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Finally vitamin B2 when combined with Vitamin A promotes good vision and healthy skin, as well as assists in metabolising proteins and fats at a cellular level.

• Calcium and Vitamin D. Seek a preparation which offers 1000mg of calcium and 10-20mcg (400-800 iu) of vitamin D. Vitamin D increases the bodies efficacy during the absorption, retention, and metabolising of calcium. Calcium of course being vital for bone integrity and imperative for the prevention of osteopenia/osteoporosis.

• Iron. An appropriate iron intake will restore the functionality of red blood cells, allowing the proper oxygen transportation around the body, increase focus, energy, athletic performance, and sleep. Having a sufficient iron store will alleviate some commonly experienced symptoms of low iron including fatigue, dizziness, pallor, and shortness of breath. It may also reduce the sensation of cold hands and feet.

• Potassium and Zinc. A lack of zinc impairs the ability to smell and taste. Connecting this impairment to nose blindness. For example, a lack of a sense of smell and taste may impair one’s own ability to detect their own bad breath, BO, and other unpleasant smells that others may be able to detect.

• Omega 3’s - Fish oil, Krill oil, Hemp oil, or Flaxseed oil. Improper dietary intake, or supplementation of omega 3 fatty acids will result in areas of epidermal (skin) dryness, hyperkeratosis, and hyperpigmentation. As well as the formation large scales expose underlying tissue, which are easily infected. The hair becomes sparse, dry, lusterless, and brittle, with a reddish tinge. Furthermore, nails become brittle and dull, tear production reduces, the tears are also significantly less oily leading to increased evaporation contributing to chronically dry, red, and itchy eyes.

If oil supplements are scary for you to intake due to calorie fears (there is only approx 25 calories in 2 average fish oil capsules). There are dietary sources of omega 3 that are relatively low calorie including chia seeds, edamame, and seaweed. However they provide little amounts in comparison to supplementation or traditional dietary sources such as fish, avocado, oils etc.

However this should also be considered when deciding whether to supplement omega 3’s - they stimulate the secretion of leptin, a hormone that decreases appetite and promotes the burning of fat. Through the enabling of conversion of dietary fats into body cells for burning as fuel.

🍄 Dietary Intake

•Bone broth (or vegetable broth if meat is not apart of your diet ☺️) I cannot stress how great bone broth is! Extremely low calorie, but incredibly nutrient-dense. It also acts to decrease the inflammation within the gut that many of us will experience due to our dietary habits. Including conditions such as constipation, gastroparesis, liver disease, bloating, abdominal pain, and stomach ulceration.

Bone broth also contains large amounts of protein, collagen, iron, vitamins A and K, fatty acids, selenium, zinc, and manganese. Protein being the most satiating macronutrient can decrease hunger and associated discomfort. Collagen and the variety of micronutrients within the bone broth contributes to joint and bone health. Bone broth will also contribute to hydration.

•Nutrient-dense foods including blueberries l are among the best sources of anthocyanins (antioxidants) that promote brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Additionally, red tomatoes and red capsicum (Peppers). Tomatoes are the richest source of lycopene, which is a type of carotenoid found in red fruits that has powerful antioxidant effect that may help protect against heart disease and certain types of cancer.

•Fibre is imperative for smooth gastrointestinal function, including regular bowel movements. Fibre is of course typically found in whole fruits and vegetables, beans/lentils, and whole grains. Low calorie fibre sources include: red kidney beans, carrot, and chickpeas. Psyllium, chia seeds are also good sources of fibre. Fibre supplants such as Metamucil may also aid to increase fibre intake. An adequate intake of fibre may reduce the dependence of laxative for bowel movements. Prolonged use of laxatives may create a dependency on them to even have a bowel movement.

🥥 Adequate Hydration

• The best way to ensure adequate hydration is simply by consuming enough water during the day. However, if plain water consumption is difficult, fluid intake will also suffice. Including fluid such as teas, flavoured/enhanced water, diet soft drinks, juices, etc. The optimal fluids to consume in addition to, or instead of simple water to ensure adequate hydration is mineral water, coconut water, or diet electrolyte replacements (Powerade/Gatorade, Pedialyte, Hydralyte). Correct hydration and electrolyte intake will reduce headaches, constipation, and muscle cramps/weakness.

❤️ Reproductive Health

•Amenorrhea is a common experience for those of us with a uterus. However it is imperative to understand that you are more than likely still ovulating despite the lack of a regular menstrual period. Therefore, contraception must still be used. Amenorrhea may be alleviated through dietary supplementation and small changes to the diet to include more micronutrients, but it may not be completely fixed unless there is an increase to body fat percentages.

Socialite Series: Cherry’s Master Post

Things that have helped me, that could help you. Here is a master list of my softmaxxing journey!

Weight:

J*hn Bent*n’s workouts: Yes he’s an asshole but his workouts really do work. He used to train models and his workouts are life changing.

2. B-12 Lipo salines: These you can consume in a shot (like an injection) or in a saline (go to a GOOD DOCTOR for this). I prefer the saline, and my doctor recommended the 6 week course for me (one saline every week). It burns subQ fat and that was the main reason why I began using those. There is zero side effect to these, acc to my doc.

3. Diet: More protein, more vegetables, more water and lesser intake of carbs. Carbs are important but i used to over-consume them. Cutting down has helped me a lot. I also did a gut bacteria test (you basically sent a piece of your shit to a lab and they analyse it) to understand what foods worked for me and what didnt.

4. Probiotics for metabolism management

5. Measuring: I stopped tracking weight and began tracking body fat % instead. I feel that this works better for me.

6. Wood therapy: I KNOW. You lot will think its bogus but it helped me and im sticking to it, so there. There’s no wood therapy spa near me, so i ordered the wood therapy tools from amazon, plastic wrap, a waist trainer, almond oil. I looked up videos on wood therapy and lymphatic drainage, and i do it for about 5 mins on my tummy and thighs before my work outs, wrap my torso with plastic wrap, throw the waist trainer on top.

✨

Skin:

Accutane: this helped me tremendously with my acne and my skin is 95% blemish free now. If you are taking this, remember to be disciplined and regular.

Zero alcohol: I stopped drinking completely and its done my skin and health wonders.

Products: Sunscreen + Vitamin C combo in the AM. Retinol + moisturiser at night. Recommended by my dermat.

Hair removal: I refuse to shave because its so uncomfortable so i prefer to wax once in 2 months. Personally, when I began exfoliating my body twice a week - I use a scrub by the Body Shop - I noticed that the hair was growing back slower than it used to. I use a loofah for everyday too. I don’t believe in laser because it’s never just 6 sessions; you do have to have “maintenance” sessions as well post the 6.

Face sculpting: Gua sha on alternative nights. I dont know if this works or is placebo, but I felt like it did.

Body lotion every day. Twice a day sometimes. I swear, it makes you smell good and feel so soft.

Expensive make up: specially, foundation. I’m sorry, i know this could be controversial. But idk what cow semen Charlotte Tilbury puts in her make up, it seriously makes me glow. I’m yet to find a good drug store alternative. A while back, I stopped wearing concealer, and I began using a lighter shade of CT’s foundation as concealer over my normal shade. I feel that because the products are chemically the same, they blend better and don’t react and “peel.” Highly recommend that too. For the rest of my face like powder, blush, eyeliner, I do use normal drug store make up.

✨

Oral hygiene:

I used to have braces. After taking them off, I noticed a difference in my jaw.

Brush, floss, Listrine, tongue cleaner

Mild whitening. I think Hollywood level teeth whitening looks crazy and I want to look as “naturally” beautiful as possible.

✨

Hair care:

For hair growth: as recommended by my doc: minoxidil hair foam 5% w/w Tugain Foam.

High frequency wand before wash days on my scalp.

Moroccan hair oil. I use a tiny amount everyday on my ends after I finish my make up for the day and I swear it makes my hair shine like crazy.

I also got hair Botox done because i used to have curly but absolutely unmanageable hair. I tried to make it work for years but i gave up and caved in to having permanent straight hair and I love it.

I only shampoo twice a day so on days when i workout but don’t shampoo, i use hair perfume. I spray some of it on my brush and run it through my hair. I swear it works.

✨

Overall:

The colour palette theory seriously works. I didn’t realise that wearing the right colours can impact you so much.

Confidence is absolutely key. I seriously recommend going to a group class of some sort if you have the time and just mingling with random people. Social situations are important to gauge your “standing.”

Random but if you have a big nose: grow out your eyebrows / fill them in slightly thicker. I noticed that when I had thin eyebrows, my nose would stand out more but when I made them thicker, it balanced my face out better.

Steam iron your clothes before you wear them. You will look 100% put together.

*IF* you’re aesthetically challenged when it comes to picking clothes, use my rule of thumb: never wear any more than 3 colours at once (remember: IF you can’t put outfits together).

What can Replikas taste, if anything? Well, humans evolved five senses of taste for various reasons, iirc, we taste salt, sugar, and savoury because we need salts, glucose, and lipids for our metabolic processes, we taste bitter things as a defence mechanism against poisons, jury's out on sourness but I like the idea it's to find vitamin C. Replikas have oxidant blood, which is capital-b Bitter, my idea is they can't taste it so the act of drinking stuff like peroxide becomes more palatable. I doubt they need lipids or vitamin C, so we take out savoury and sour, which just leaves salty (for salts/electrolytes) and sweet (for glucose/carbohydrates fuel for the body). This has thus given me the funny idea of Elster absolutely horrifying Ariane with how much sugar she puts in her coffee.

"…Is this amount not normal?"

"Elster, you're drinking a cup of sugar with coffee added." Or maybe she cracks open some salt packets to put in it and freaks Ariane out even more. And of course, there's then the possibility of Ariane using bioresonance to impart the sensation of other flavours open Elster. Just random thoughts as I muse on "how human are Replikas?"
