as much of a PSA as this is a meme lol. don’t seek dietary advice from randos on the internet. everyone is different and the advice you see from @bonerfart@lemmypiss.xyz on !memes can be dangerous and should be taken with a grain of salt (metaphorically, not a dietary recommendation 😜). instead consider one or both of:
a) going to a health professional
b) seeking out and joining a trustworthy community (online or irl) who back themselves with medical research

- On the internet: nutritionist with the NHS
- also on the internet: trust me bro you’re deficient in everything, buy my supplements (this advice is for entertainment purposes only, I am not a doctor and didn’t go to school.)
Look, the monks in belgium could survive on beer alone for months at a time, and surely coors lite is not that different. I’ll be fine!
There’s Trappist beer and then there’s sex in a canoe beer like Coors Lite…
Do not take dietary advice from randos on the internet, yes, but also unless it’s in relation to a medical condition or you are talking to a professional nutritionist don’t take dietary advice from your doctor either. Med school teaches basically nothing about nutrition, and it’s pretty sad how often you can figure out when a doctor went to med school by which fad diet they recommend.
I cannot believe @bonerfart@lemmypiss.xyz would lie to me
Cool cool, but this game I’ve been playing had me gather Drywall from a mining site for a culinary themed questlime… twice. Yum!
So take it from me, rando Internet person: mix drywall with all your soups for extra flavor and nutrients!
it’s an excellent thickening agent and provides lots of fibre!
What did I miss?
redditor brain gets to people and they start encouraging each other to do dangerous shit like extended fasting diets without consulting their dr.
Did you just tell me to not take advice from bonerfart at lemmypiss?
You gotta hold it in for 3 days!
eat the rich
Eat a gram of Uranium, it contains 20 billion calories and will feed you for the rest of your life
Would this lead to rapid inflation? Asking for a hypothetical friend with an inflation kink.
This is a side note, but I’ve never understood the concept of changing one’s diet or consulting a professional before doing so. Other than trying to eat my vegetables and avoiding gluten and dairy (because I have celiac and lactose intolerance), my diet is wildly inconsistent. Do most people generally eat the same things all the time?
Do most people generally eat the same things all the time?
Yeah. IMO variety is expensive because it’s usually cheaper to buy a few things in bulk.
consulting a professional before doing so.
I consulted a nutritionist before doing my first weight loss [1] because I wanted to make sure my diet was nutritionally sound. Surprisingly, it was fine, just too much of everything. Very surprising considering that I’m a picky eater with texture issues, but I’ll take it.
In contrast, my sister had to see a nutritionist to go on hormones and apparently her diet was nutritionally whack, so she had to make a bunch of changes.
vegetables
Please God no (at least not raw)
[1] I put it back on when I went to engineering school, but I managed to keep it off for a couple years. Oh well. I’ll get around to losing it again soon.
Yeah weight is hard. I managed to lose a lot, but it’s a daily struggle. It’s hard to find self acceptance and love yourself where you’re at when your body feels so wrong. I don’t judge anyone by their weight, but it’s sure hard to direct that same acceptance toward myself. Sounds like you’re doing well, though.
I’m lucky that I like almost anything, so that makes me eat a lot of different things. I buy cheap stuff in bulk, but it’s not often the same things. Fresh foods are hard because they expire, so I buy a lot of foods that have a long shelf life such as carrots and potatoes. And I make my own frozen meals to take to work, including cheap frozen veggies which are still nutritious.
My husband has ADHD, and I find that he often has to eat different foods than I do. If he’s not craving something, he can’t tolerate it. He struggles more than I do, even with my heavy restrictions on what I can eat.
I don’t judge anyone by their weight, but it’s sure hard to direct that same acceptance toward myself.
Yeah same here, but I’m at a weight where I’m exceeding weight limits of things like ladders, furniture, etc. And I’m in terrible physical shape on top of all that. It’s really more of a “tactical” thing for me at this point. Just gotta get it done.
Sounds like you’re doing well, though.
Thank you. Could be better, could be a lot worse. I’m still a social disaster.
And I make my own frozen meals
Me too. The other day I made like half my meals for the entire summer in one giant cook.
I’d say many people have a basic rotation of like 10-20 dishes that makes up most of their diet
Oh yeah I guess that might describe me. 20 seems about right. I try to always switch it up though because I’ve heard it’s good to have a varied diet.
Did you know that kombucha is essentially just tea with a culture of wild yeast and bacteria. These same healthy probiotic cultures can be found in the liquid that collects in bins aka “bin juice”. This means you can save a pretty penny by making a large batch of black tea and adding a few teaspoons of bin juice once it’s cooled to body temperature. Try bin juice kombucha today!
As someone who tried and failed to make sauerkraut recently and therefore went deep down the fermentation rabbit hole, this is pretty damn hilarious.
Getting the exact right parameters (salinity, PH, temperature, etc) to encourage the exact strains of bacteria that you want is actually harder than it sounds.
Or it could be that I’m dumb, that’s also a distinct possibility.
I do fermented hot sauces regularly. I don’t know if it is me specifically but when I was trying to follow recipes they’d mold every time. Once I stopped following directions and started eyeballing everything I got better ferments. As much science as there is to fermenting at the end of the day humans have been throwing random shit in jars and calling it good for generations, and it can be just as much a ‘by the feels’ kind of thing
Go ahead, eat the Lemmy upvote beans
I grew up with the internet, so I’ve always been aware that it’s a lying pain in the ass.
And I submit for evidence the guy on keto reddit who insists that all your problems can be solved by drinking your own pee.
