Hi, y'all!
I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we can list out what we have eaten to benefit our hair (and skin) each day and how it benefits us. Not just saying that its healthy but actually detailing the ingredients and stuff.
i'll start:
Today I ate mexican rice with chicken(for protein), boiled beans and corn(for protein) and roast okra(for whatever vitamins and minerals it has). Supplements: becosules, cod liver oil tabs.
What did you guys eat?:toast:
I'll have som chicken for dinner tonight (since it's only lunchtime here I haven't had any cooked food yet). I eat a lot of chicken... almost every day. :)
A vitamin b complex tablet.
Oatmeal, that's about it.
I ate a banana and peanuts for protein. Also veggies for vitamins. And took my daily magnesium supplement.
Double post, sorry:)
Some of the things I'll be eating today are chicken (protein), coconut oil and avocado for healthy fats and green smoothies with lots of vitamins and minerals (especially iron). I do notice a difference in my hair when eating a healthy, clean, wholesome diet.
Sorry, double post.
An egg (protein, B12, sulphur and biotin), mixed nuts (protein, zinc, selenium, linoleic acid, omega 3, calcium), Rooibos tea (high in antioxidants), smoked salmon (protein and Omega 3 fats) and took my msm (sulfur). The peanut m&m's I also ate (increased seratonin levels and protein) counted towards my intake because they have nuts in them :)
Peanut butter cookies my best friend's gf made :D
arc691 said she eats peanut butter for her hair so it must be good for you.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it :whistle:
I ate cooked cabbage for lunch.(that's protein, right?) Does chocolate count? :hmm: And I have Guinness in my fridge, my bff who has waist long hair swears that beer makes her hair grow fast.:beercheer:
Ha! That would be interesting :)Quote:

Pumpkin seeds! I can easily get through about 100 grams of them a day at the moment.
I've also found that since I've started drinking goats milk my hair is in much better condition, I'm drinking about two pints of it every day.
Great thread! I will be eating chicken today for protein, my diet is rubbish at the moment because of all the Christmas food, but I will soon get back to eating healthily next week after new year:)
Cod liver oil, milk thistle, and B vitamins :)
Cheese, jogurt, sunflower seeds, cottage cheese and vitamins. Those things are good for hair, right? Unfortunately I swore not to drink beer until February. ;)
yep, they are!Quote:

I had a piece of fish and more roast okra for dinner with rice(carbs and b-vitamins).
Thats interesting! Can you tell us the recipe for your green smoothie?Quote:

And I drank a pot of tea, for hydration and trace minerals.
I also know two people who absolutely swear by beer for hair growth. Both of their hairs grow incredibly fast. It never made a difference for me though (I drink a lot of beer.) I have not drank beer in the last 2 months though and nothing has really changed for me at all.Quote:

I made a homemade salsa.... 10-12 small tomatoes, 3-4 onions, a jalapeno, 1/3 of a serrano pepper, lime juice from 1 lime, and 1 batch of cilantro all mixed together. Very good stuff
I am thinking all those fruits and veggies are good for my hair, but I don't know about the tortilla chips. I have chi-chi's white corn tortilla chips. Does anyone know a healthier tortilla chip than chi-chi's tortilla chips or is that about as healthy as I am going to get concerning salsa?
I know organic corn chips would be your best bet, since most corn products are made using genetically modified corn. :/Quote:

Brewer's yeast found in most beers and in Vegemite (yum yum) is high in the Bvitamins essential for hair growth, so there is actual evidence that it can enhance hair growth, an unfortunate side effect is it can also increase the girth of your gut!!Quote:

I had some leftover chicken for breakfast, an almond, cranberry, and turkey salad for lunch, two apples, and some sunflower/almond butter! :3 I've found that lotsa fresh veggies and fruit is always beneficial for me!
I had a banana and a hard boiled egg for breakfast. I had cherry tomatoes as a snack. Water and of course my morning vitamins. Lunch was tofurkey sausages with pasta. Dinner I am not sure of yet. But definately a protein shake when I get home. Oh, and I oiled my hair last night so its in a bun today at work.
Ugh, the ugly GMO rears its head.Quote:

It's a tough life eating for your hair :violin:
Got time on my hands today, so been looking at the food labels and being indoors today preparing and eating at times that suit me :) Eat good food for overall wellbeing.
Had over half the ammount of protein i plan to consume- so far in the first half of today: 30gm, then dinner will be the last portion:at least 26gm
After days of eating alot of festive treats im getting back into the healthy pattern again! Started the day with oatmeal with milk and some black grapes, then lunch of shrimp in mayo on toast with an organic salad of romain lettuce, watercress, spinach and rocket. Snacked on Some steamed dumplings containing prawn, squid and chinese chive with chilli sauce and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
A muller probiotic drink- vanilla flavour, to keep my tum quiet til dinner time.
Dinner time we're having homemade chicken fajitas(chopped carrot, onion, tomatoes, garlic, green beans and red cabbage) with a green side salad, in corn tortillas ;P
I had 2 eggs , cucumber, tomato, bellpepper for breakfast plus multi vits and vitamin b.
Later I had a whey protein shake, 25 gr8 pure protein with water.
Now an unhealthy cafe latte with an and croissant. Because I am depressed today,
One of my cats is sick and has to stay overnight at the vet's. :-(
2 eggs today. I planned to eat jogurt with sunflower seeds at breakfast but instead I ate cookies. :oops:
I've been on "a green smoothie a day" thing since. 1/2/13. :)
Skim milk, about 5 icecubes, a lot of fresh raw kale, about 7 blackberries,blueberries,3 small chunks cantalope,a few walnuts.
Blend and drink the whole blender down.
This & 3 prenatal vitamins(I'm 58,they are definitely for hair growth only!) Daily are all I've eaten everyday since 1/3.
So I lost 5 pounds. :)
Somehow I don't think that the McDonald's hot fudge sundae that I just ate did much for my hair :bigeyes:
Protein! I made a nice omlet for lunch
I had a chicken sandwich with avocado slices. Yummy and loaded with protein and good fat.
I had an egg (protein), a tempe reuban sandwich (protein), and kale salad (B vits?, iron, goodness). Also a flax seed oil supplement, calcium, and biotin.
Peanut butter and Biosil, I think that's it :)
Today for my hair i ate smoked salmon (protein/fat) and chia seeds (fat/vitamins)
hmmm, I have had about a gallon of tea today, which is pretty much per usual for me...although I don't think tea has much of an effect on hair health. *shrug*
I had an apple and cheddar for lunch (with tea) so protein and vitamins. Dinner was Squash and Apple soup with a garden salad, more cheddar and homemade yogurt dressing, orange for desert. so...more protein and vitamins....and even more tea. I've been eating a lot of lamb lately too, so good!
