    An increased appetite Further to Higher Calorie Meals

    I think I may talk to a nutritionist and will raise the issue with my doctor. My experience though is that doctors don't usually have much to suggest with this type of issue. (One doctor said to try increasing my protein intake, but when I try changing up the macronutrient makeup of my meals it...

    An increased appetite Further to Higher Calorie Meals

    Yes, I was thinking of checking with a registered dietician. I try not to do much exercise because I notice it makes me sleep much worse and I really don't like sleeping badly. If I don't need to go into my walk, I will typically walk to the shops and back every day though. This usually works...

    An increased appetite Further to Higher Calorie Meals

    What I mean is that I usually measure exactly the amount of food I am eating with a kitchen scale so that I am exactly consistent with how much I eat every day and for each meal. I tried increasing my calorie intake of three of my meals per day to see if that would prevent me from getting hungry...

    An increased appetite Further to Higher Calorie Meals

    My appetite randomly increased out of nowhere from temporarily increasing the calorie content of my meals I did something recently where I tried increasing the calorie intake of my meals to see if it would make me fuller for longer. Basically, for quite a long time I have been getting this...

    Red patch in moustache area that never disappears

    I might be wrong about this, because not entirely sure, but I think I might be similar in that I think my sleep quality might be worse when I go to sleep early. I think the best time for me to go to sleep might be around 11 but unless I'm living in a house by myself (which is pretty much...

    Red patch in moustache area that never disappears

    Yes, I'm exactly the same - I usually don't have difficulty falling asleep but my sleep maintenance is awful. However, I've noticed that if I go to sleep very early to avoid having to sleep through any noise in the early morning that improves the sleep maintenance issues quite a bit (as I think...

    Red patch in moustache area that never disappears

    Well that's the thing actually. I have always had some very faint rosacea on my cheeks my entire life that really only becomes particularly noticeable when sleep-deprived, anxious, embarrassed, eating spicy foods, etc., but never above my lip. That redness above my lip only started happening...

    OK, why do you think that one would work?

    Red patch in moustache area that never disappears

    I noticed around 2014 some weird red patch that developed above my lip that almost looks like a moustache if you don't look at it that closely. I've been to a few doctors and dermatologists now over the years (for a while I stopped caring because I was preoccupied with other health and...

    Messed up metabolism & Weight Gain!

    Well yes, but the point is is that there appears to be some clear evidence that exists that shows that it can happen. So even though it may not happen in some instances, there seems to be evidence that it can happen in others. Unless you're suggesting that there is other research that suggests...

    Messed up metabolism & Weight Gain!

    Think I messed up metabolism - can't eat to satiety without gaining weight now I went on quite an extreme diet and I think it has permanently lowered my metabolism to the point now that if I want to eat to maintain my current weight I have to eat less (Around 3000 calories in total) than the...

    Health Issues Male Pattern Baldness & Sleep Deprivation

    No, I think your advice was helpful, because without it I wouldn't have realized that the extra exercise is helpful for sleep onset. (The last few months I did actually start having sleep onset problems as well when I don't usually have them, and I realized lack of exercise was probably the...

    Exercise makes sleep problems worse

    The other thing I've noticed is that when I have increased my exercise (by an extra 1 to 1.5 hours of walking a day) I have gained 1 kilo of weight. This isn't because of extra calories because I only just increased my calories by 250 calories yesterday, and I noticed the weight change before...

    Exercise makes sleep problems worse

    I tried exercising more to see if that helps my sleep maintenance and male pattern hair loss (which I'm pretty sure is exacerbated by poor sleep) whilst keeping everything else I do constant to see if the exercise helps. I tried walking around 4 - 5 miles in the day rather than 2 - 2.5 miles in...

    Health Issues Male Pattern Baldness & Sleep Deprivation

    I tried the exercising that you suggested. Only recently I've tried exercising whilst trying to keep absolutely everything else I do constant to see if the exercise helps. I noticed that exercise helps with sleep onset. However, when I exercise, it just seems to make the sleep...

    Constipation & hemorrhoids on a plant-based diet?

    I never really know when to eat fruit because when I finish my meal I already feel full and don't want to eat anything else on top of that. And I never want to snack between meals because I never feel hungry in between meals. (Whenever I try snacking between meals it makes me feel horrible. I...

    Constipation & hemorrhoids on a plant-based diet?

    I was thinking it could be because of not drinking enough water. My urine is dark yellow a lot of the time and can dribble out at the end, which I think indicates that I'm not drinking enough. I eat a lot of vegetables, but no fruit at the moment.

    Constipation & hemorrhoids on a plant-based diet?

    Does anyone else get constipation and hemorrhoids on a plant-based diet? Does anyone else get severely constipated on a plant-based diet? I have these very large stools but they are very hard and can take a long time to come out and require straining to get out. I think it's causing...

    Heartburn/acid reflux when eating beans & lentils?

    I figured out what the problem is. Any legume seems to give me heartburn. HOWEVER, if I put balsamic vinegar on my meals it completely kills my heartburn. The second I don't put balsamic vinegar on my meal the heartburn comes back after eating. So I can have as much legumes now without having...

    High Levels LDL-On a very low-fat plant-based diet?

    When I asked he thought the Vitamin D would be unlikely to cause a rise in cholesterol. I think I'm fine with not putting salt on my food anymore. I reduced it yesterday to .3 grams a meal. And in a few days time I will reduce it to 0 grams, so that I am only getting the salt from the plant...
