Answered on 31st July '24
Struggling to gain pounds and feeling odd post-meals? Pay heed to these indicators. Your quick pulse after eating might signify digestion troubles. Indigestion hinders nutrient absorption, causing weight drop. Consume smaller portions, sidestep spicy fare, and stay hydrated. Consulting a dietitian for tailored counsel may prove beneficial.

I've been trying to cut down on sugar, but I'm not sure what to use as a substitute. Are there any natural sweeteners that you recommend which won't spike my blood sugar levels?
Male | 29
It is good that you have decided to limit your sugar intake! Stevia, a natural sweetener that you can use, is one such option here. It is made from a plant and does not make your blood sugar levels to rise. You can also go for monk fruit sweetener, another good alternative. Try to control the sweetening and not overload your diet with sweet foods. Synthetic sweeteners are not a good choice, because they can cause harm to your health.

I'm training for a marathon and want to make sure my diet supports my training. What should I be eating before and after my runs to maximize performance and recovery?
Male | 29
Consume food containing carbohydrates and protein two-three hours before the run to be full of energy. The protein shake makes sure your muscles grow and get rid of fat every weekend. If you keep your body hydrated throughout the day, it might prevent dehydration and tiredness. A wide array of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains can be included in a diet to help improve the performance of your workouts.

I recently had my gallbladder removed and have been experiencing digestive issues. What kind of diet should I follow to manage these symptoms?
Male | 37
Even after gallbladder surgery, diarrhea, bloating, or gas is a common problem. This happens because the gallbladder is one of the key players in the digestion of fats and without it, the body struggles with the digestion of fatty foods. Eating a low-fat diet is one way to lessen these symptoms. Try consuming more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods as they can cause discomfort. Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day can also help. Your body might need some time to get used to the new condition, so have patience and monitor how it reacts to different foods.

I want a diet plan for 5000calories a day
Male | 28
Eat 5000 calories every single day, problems may arise. High-calorie intake leads to issues: weight gain, blood pressure spikes, diabetes risk increases, heart troubles develop. Consume nutritious foods instead - fruits, and vegetables provide vitamins, lean proteins build muscle, and whole grains give fiber. Avoid sugary drinks filled with empty calories. Also, unhealthy fats are detrimental.

I often feel tired and sluggish during the day. Could my diet be the reason for this, and what foods can help boost my energy levels?

I have a bmi of 52.0, I am 17, is it safe for me to go on a 800-900 calorie a day diet if I take a multivitamin and the proper vitamin supplements? If so, for how long would it be safe?
Female | 17
Your BMI at the age of 52.0 is very high for you. Only 800-900 calories of food a day can be dangerous and can cause serious health problems like fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, and muscle loss. It is not safe to even keep your calories so low. On the contrary, concentrate on developing good habits such as consuming balanced meals and exercising regularly. If you are thinking of bringing changes to your diet, it is good to consult a doctor or dietitian to create a safe and effective plan for weight loss.

Female | 17
In terms of diet for PCOS and hair, try to include a balanced diet made up of a lot of fruits, green vegetables, and whole grains in your meal. Avoid sugar and junk food in your diet. Regular physical activities also assist with PCOS symptoms. On the other hand, for your hair, you should eat a balanced diet with adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, which is found in nuts and legumes, such as lentils, zinc in chicken and sardines, and iron in red meat and spinach. Remember, drinking enough water is also important.

She cannot digest gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. If she consumes gluten, she may experience stomach pain, rashes, and diarrhea. However, there are plenty of nutritious and tasty foods she can enjoy, such as rice, quinoa, fruits, vegetables, beans, meats, and fish.
