Eggs! I try to eat eggs everyday. I have my own small flock, so they are usually fresh from the coop, and I know the hens get a wholesome diet with all the fresh bugs they want as I let them run on 1.5 acres.
I had cheese, grapes, and cantelope but then I just woke up (3rd shifter here, I work all night.) Later I will have eggs with some plain dry toast (12 grain!) after that, who knows, I don't eat so much anymore, too busy.
Breakfast: toast, 6 eggs, bunch of broccoli
Snack: protein shake
Lunch: ground beef (1/2 pound), more broccoli
Dinner: tiki masala, sauerkraut, jar of pickle juice, glass of OJ
For later I’ll have another protein shake with my daily vitamins, and a scoop of creatine
I eat a lot for sports
Your general health is often reflected in your hair... Food contains the vital nutrients we need to live a healthy life... and grow long hair. So all those products we use, like biotin rich conditioners and protein rich masks all effect hair that has already grown to a minimal extent but if you are eating foods rich in these things they will grow from the shaft as already healthy.Quote:

Your hair is made up of whatever nutrients your body gives it to grow essentially, and it takes what it can get. If you want long, strong lucious hair (or so much as your genetics will allow since that makes up another large part of hair growth) then you'll eat foods that will distribute these essential vitamins and nutrients where the go... If you want frizzy, dull hair (or to depend on expensive products forever) then you can eat mcdonalds everyday and eat potato chips with every meal :)
Peanut buttter, beets, meat sauce, and took vitamin D. I eat peanut butter for my hair every single day.
I'm on a high fat diet, which supports healthy skin, nails, and hair.
And it's great for weight loss, too.
Ketogenic?Quote:

Still need to lose weight though :/ I've cut out soda, energy drinks, fast food, ranch dressing and all snacks apart from a few here or there. I've incorporated some new veggies too (enoki mushroom, bok choi, lots of fruit) and a lot of water. What sort of foods do you eat in a day, if I can ask? I'm planning on trying tofu this weekend, pretty excited about that. Is it a high carp high fat diet, if I can ask (Like Free-lee the bananna girl or high carb hanna on youtube?)Quote:

This is as far as I had gotten in my previous attempts, still doughy and pear shaped but massively improved. Though it's from the middle of last year and that shirt is now massive on me, I still have it as my unlock screen for motivational reasons. Both legs in one...that might as well be a commercial.

This is me, on Easter. The shirt is a boys 14 and the pants are actually a women size 2, to accommodate my still very curvy hips. I'm a work in progress.

That’s awesome dude!!! Hard work and dedication!Quote:

Has your metabolism recovered? Any lasting effects?Quote:

Ketogenic is high fat, medium protein, low carb. And since I was already high fat, myself, I don't sit around and add unnecessary fat. No bulletproof butter coffee. I just stopped...avoiding it. I eat the chicken skin. I use a pat of butter instead of a spray of Pam in the skillet. That sort of thing.Quote:

And after the induction period, I started to find vegetables appealing. And figured out that my mother's near obsession on steaming them resulted in mushy and flavorless...never found them palatable as a kid. Now, I eat them willingly.
Congratulations! Your body looks really healthy and in good shape :D I have the opposite struggle, ugh, my metabolism happens to be psychotic and it's really hard for me to hold down weight/fat. I'm always trying to gain, but when I eat more than usual I feel sick. Worse, my doctor says there's nothing I can apparently do and I'm "healthy" (I don't look like it, I look underweight, and have gotten comments like how I'm a skeleton and a ghost!)Quote:

I am about to eat a bowl of spelt flakes :)
Me and my pup shared an apple. I've had a busy morning so that's all I've eaten today.
That sounds adorable! I didn't know dogs could eat apples.Quote:

I've since stopped tracking and am trying to switch out unatural foods for all natural to see if that'll work but I am genuinely afraid that I've damaged my body to the point where I can't lose any weight without an extreme diet.
What is bulletproof butter coffee?
Bulletproof is a brand name, but it's like saying you made a Xerox copy.
It is the addition of fats, notably butter and coconut oil, to coffee as a way to introduce higher fat into your diet. Lots of information online.
There are two schools of thought about it. One is that if you already have fat on your body, you don't need to add more fat in your diet. The other is that you must meet specific dietary macros, the most common is that 75% of your daily calories should come from fats.
Based on what you wrote, do you have metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance? There are s number of Facebook groups that deal with those specifically, and there are dozens of keto groups as well. My favorite is a group called RealWorldKeto, which encourages a science based approach instead of anecdotes and expensive powders.
To get started read up on keto and LCHF diets, and look at the Atkins induction phase. You'll have a lot more knowledge at that point, and be well informed about any decisions you may or may not choose to make.
Eyes wide open!
And if you have a doctor, you might talk to them about it. As I said, it's fairly strict but remarkably easy because I get to eat real food. No need for Atkins bars or diet shakes or deprivation and starvation. Heck, I had bratwurst for lunch, with broccoli, and I'll finish with some espresso.
Scrambled egg(just one ) with little bit of onions and serrano peppers.
Boiled egg and coffee with natural 36 % cream.
Fish - should I say something more? ;)
Some chocolate muesli, blueberries, dried cranberries, walnuts, a spoonful of Peanut Butter, and some green tea. Yes, that’s a lot :agree:
Cooked Rice and fish
I had some tomato soup with peanut butter mixed in and a toast with fish butter :)
Does downing coconut oil actually help your hair? Would olive oil have similar effects?? hmm.
It is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids that help you absorb vitamins A and E better. It did make my hair stronger, have a healthy shine and grow a bit faster.Quote:

For me, it's better to eat it than put it on my hair...
I ate spelt flakes with a slice of butter today, a banana and now i am eating a spoonful of coconut oil.
Sandwich with eggs, cheese and paprika
Of course eating it straight out of the tub constantly is not healthy. Too much of one thing is NEVER good for you. In the correct quantities your body can thrive off of the great vitamins and healthy fat you get from eating it. I personally love to eat it with something instead of a spoonful by itself.Quote:

Are waffles hair food? I find the syrup makes my hair all sticky... ;)
Hmmm syrup in a SMT would be nice..Quote:
