I was crazy busy with work all afternoon, so then I only ate some rye crisp bread and a couple of yoghurts. Just a while ago I had spinach soup and some bread with seeds in it. Now I'm having rosehip tea with honey.

Veggie crockpot stew! ☺️
I ate 3 bananas! It's my favorite fruit :oops:
Bananas contain folic acid that makes your hair shine. They also keep your hair moisturized and well hydrated. The potassium in the fruit and the other natural oils also improve hair health.
That's awesome!!Quote:

eta ended up just doing tuna and spinach. saving the potato for lunch tomorrow.
I've been continuing with supplementing my diet with protein. I dont know if i'm just hitting a growth spurt but i've had a little less than an inch of growth from December 14th until today which is FAR greater than my average growth. December 14th is around the time I started the protein supplement. I'll keep measuring and updating but I'm excited about this!!
Mash with a typical Belgian dish called "vol-au-vent". It's yummy & my mom's favorite. Since we eat it with mash instead of potatoes, it's become a favorite of mine too.
Scrambled eggs, a handful of cherry tomatoes and bread with cheese. Protein shake. Smoothie made of unsweetened yogurt, kale, chia seeds, frozen blueberries and strawberries (managed to get down half a glass only, put too much kale in it).
Maybe consider reporting about your experiment in the Growth rate experiments thread, kph12? I tried to resurrect it end of last year :) https://forums.longhaircommunity.com...119947&page=64Quote:

Oh no, triple post... Porridge with strawberries. Chili sin carne (milk protein meat substitute, chickpeas, bell pepper, red chili, onion, garlic, tomato sauce) with rice.
Some kind of white fish, mashed potato with herb butter, peas and a banana. Coffee with ashwagandha. Rosehip tea with maca.
Begemot, your diet sounds so delicious!
Thanks! Yours sounds awesome too btw. I get serious cravings for peas every time someone mentions them :D can't wait for summer and fresh peas.Quote:

Eggs and avocado mash, mackerel with a green salad and chicken tigh curry. Lots of yummy food with healthy fats.
More chili sin carne, today with bread and cheese. Handful of baby carrots and couple of nuts (brazilian nut, walnuts).
For breakfast I had steel cut oats made with almond milk, banana & strawberries. For lunch I had a whole wheat wrap with hummus, spinach, turkey, avocado, red onion & feta and a handful of raspberries. Dinner I had whole wheat crackers with prosciutto & mozzarella. For a snack I had a smoothie made with vanilla greek yogurt, almond milk, spinach, banana & a handful of mixed berries.
I'll have to check out the hair experiment thread Begemot Thanks for the tip!
No problem! :)Quote:

Scrambled eggs. Sweet potato fries with a dip (crème fraîche, ketchup, lemon juice, garlic, honey, salt and pepper). Protein quark and half a bell pepper with bread.
So far today I've had rye toast with vanilla almond butter, strawberries, banana & raspberries on top; a whole wheat wrap with hummus, spinach, turkey, avocado, red onion & feta and carrots and cucumbers on the side; and a bowl of strawberry Greek yogurt with granola & goji berries.
(BTW, I'm underweight & trying to gain for some time now & am seriously struggling, so if anyone has any suggestions, they would be very much appreciated ❤️)
Today I started taking vitamins properly! Prenatal multivitamin, collagen and K2 + D3. It's for my overall health, but one of the main motivators is my hair, of course. :)
I'm drooling x)Quote:

A portion of red meat once a week, like a steak, or tuna, salmon etc will do you some good as well, and try eating eggs every day for breakfast (I'm assuming you're not vegetarian cause I saw turkey but I didn't see much other meat). :)
Try protein shakes and lifting weights, too. I am unable to gain weight without working out - unless I eat pizza and drink beer every day, but that's not the type of weight I try to gain lol.
Thank you! ❤️Quote:

Can working out actually help you gain weight?! I didn't know that was even a thing. I've been to scared to exercise since I dropped the weight because I didn't want to lose any more. Do you have to do certain exercises to gain rather than lose?
& Same! I know I could make this a lot easier on myself if ate pizza & candy all day, but I'd rather do it a wee bit healthier lol.
Yes, with good diet and protein, weights specifically can help you gain weight in the form of muscle. Not saying you'll become he-man but it's a more healthy weight than just fat, though if you're underweight you probably need a bit of both. So instead of something like long walks/runs, which would most likely make you lose weight or slim down, try low reps with weights, exercises like squats, lunges, pushups etc. It'll also help get up your appetite. :)Quote:

eta: i tried cooking the maduros in coconut oil this time. yum!
Mac and cheese. Handful of baby carrots. Cottage cheese.
Pea soup with a lot of fresh onion and thick pancake with strawberry jam and whipped cream. Traditional Thursday food in Finland.
A piece of homemade pizza, not sure what was on it but looked like rice at least, and something like oregano on top but I'm not an expert in that area.
Also goji berries and of course my vitamins and a little bit of homemade ginger drink.
Bone broth has been a staple of my diet the past week. Hopefully I'll see some benefits from it.
Avocados, Kale, Chia seeds, coconut water, eggs, bananas, nori seaweed, yogurt, soy milk and a handful of almonds...
Recipe, please? :)Quote:

You can do this however you want, but I like to uninclude as much fruit flesh as possible. Add the juices into the mixture. Then, add half a desilitre of honey - more or less depending on how sweet you want it to be. Mix. You can also add apple juice (preferably as fresh and "good" as possible, the regular store ones generally aren't that great).Quote:

Thank you! I'd love to try this sooner or later :D I saw ginger shots sold in a grocery store some time ago, some brand had charcoal in it too so it turned black once I shook the bottle a bit. That was pretty interesting.Quote:

Yep, some have popped up in stores. But homemade beats them! :)Quote:
