RE: My Road to 100000 Steem Power & Self-Improvement Log Day 37
Thank you for your input Sharon. What other veggies do you suggest me to eat? I want to get shredded and I take Magnesium, Zinc, Creatine and Vitamine D3 Supplements.
That potato is empty calories is no problem. They are saturating and they are a good source of carbohydrates.
I don't take supplements - I get my nutrition from food and sometimes through the skin - too many bad memories of my pill taking days when I was so sick.
I think you can get the D3 from the sun. I am not sure about creatine. We are mostly all short of zinc and mg. I would also add vitamin C and iodine as good nutrients to try to get more of.
The best suggestion I can offer is track your food through a tracker for a period of time and see what nutrients you are missing. Then find the food that fills that gap. For example mg comes from some seeds, bananas, dark greens etc.
For veggies - make lists of what you like and cycle through. Try to explore new ideas based on what is for sale locally and seasonally. Root veggies are good this time of year.
I'm pretty much in disagreement with your potato idea. It would be better to get some nutrition and than you will not feel so empty that you need to fill up on starch.
I have this pinterest board with pins of the various foods that give you various nutrients. Maybe start with the ones your are already supplementing for.

Thank you Sharon. You are such an expert in that Area. I need to interview you on what to eat to lose weight (for women).
I know I have some female followers and they would love to read that I bet.
What do you think? Want to do that? I have time now and we can immediately start with the Interview in the Steem chat.
I'm not in the chats :)
I have a lot of trouble talking to people about "what to eat". I just want them to nudge in the direction of healthier eating and hopefully snowball from there. They need to start from where they are - not look to my food as a solution. I'm getting ready to post on this topic - many, many posts.
But like I have said before - food is not my best topic. I had my hand slapped away from it from a young age and did not really get my own situation under control until a few years ago.
This is why will you see my posts into the daily food challenge now. I'm trying to start easy and post about food each day. I hope this will lead me in the right direction to help others. All of us fat people have issues with food. Just because I am thin now, does not mean they went away.
Do what you think is right Sharon. However, you should have more confidence in your ability to help people lose weight.
You know more about nutrition than I do and I am very muscular.
Anyway, if you decide to make this interview then just let me know and I will give your advice to my followers!
If you want to send questions, I will gladly answer. I am already working on a detox post for you :)
Yes, more confidence would be great. I get stopped by
Those are the things that stop me from my goals.
I highly recommend that you chat with me. I just know the solutions to these problems. In exchange I want my questions answered.
Does that sound better for you?
I'm not in the chats because my computer does not work in them and there is no payout for posting there. I have tried a few times and really don't want to go in them. I've wasted hours on the attempts and my wifi goes out many times a day.
Why don't you put your questions in a post and I'll put my answers in a post? Then we have it here.
I see.
That is an awesome Idea. I will create a post and you will answer the questions from that post in the comment section.
I will then add those answers to the post.
I will get to it soon.
