I would be curious to know what your eating habits are now.

You may consider an electrolyte drink that is sugar free, such as Gatorade Zero.

*** Fasting for spiritual reasons ***

I do not recommend the keto diet- it is high in saturated fats and low in fiber.

YES!
Depending on the type of anemia, it is usually a deficiency of iron in the body. Meat has the highest bio-available iron-- heme.

This is SO tricky... I know Ramadan has passed but would love to still help if you need it.

I highly recommend against medications or surgeries for weight loss in children, and teens. Here are some of the potential negative side effects.

Adverse Health Effects: Weight loss medications often come with a host of potential side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, headaches, and insomnia. In some cases, more severe side effects like increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and liver damage can occur.

Impact on Growth and Development: Children and teenagers are still growing and developing, and introducing weight loss medications could potentially interfere with this process. Some medications may affect bone density or hormonal balance, which could have long-term implications for growth and development.

Psychological Effects: Introducing weight loss medication to a child or teenager may reinforce unhealthy attitudes toward weight and body image. It could contribute to the development of eating disorders or unhealthy relationships with food and exercise. Additionally, the pressure to lose weight could negatively impact self-esteem and mental well-being.

Dependency and Long-Term Effects: Using medication as a primary means of weight management may create dependency and prevent the development of healthy lifestyle habits. There's also limited research on the long-term effects of weight loss medications in children and teenagers, so their safety and efficacy over extended periods are not well understood.

Potential for Abuse: Some weight loss medications carry a risk of misuse or abuse, especially among adolescents who may be more susceptible to peer pressure or societal influences regarding body image. This could lead to the misuse of medication or the development of substance abuse issues.

Interference with Normal Appetite Regulation: Weight loss medications often work by suppressing appetite or altering the body's metabolism. Introducing these medications to a developing body may interfere with normal appetite regulation processes, potentially leading to nutritional deficiencies or eating disorders.

For a healthy metabolism, you should really aim to eat every 4 ish hours throughout the day.

Hi! Thanks so much for your question. The IgG test can be used to help us navigate any symptoms you're having- it's not necessary and end-all-be-all. It might be helpful to keep a food and symptoms journal and test out eliminating ONE thing at a time. If you have a strong reaction to eggs- that would mean ALL eggs, in any form, baked goods included. Here is a link with some great tips on substituting eggs in baked goods: https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/cooking-tips-tutorials/g33584750/egg-substitute/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=arb_ga_pw_md_pmx_hybd_mix_us_18891731492&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoeGuBhCBARIsAGfKY7wY-Y7FVq6P-4-l7pKp02XolHyvdeRUIATdH_2BoL8XvWR21mXkMRgaAvifEALw_wcB If you need more support on navigating these food sensitivities, please reach out and we can work together.

Hi! I know when you feel like you're doing all the right things and not seeing results, it can be so frustrating! May I ask how long you've been doing this and your motivations to lose weight?

With nutrition, it can be really easy to get lost in the details. In general healthy people who have a goal of continuing to live a healthy life are more about the big picture. When we are deciding on meals, I don't recommend getting out a kitchen scale and calculator. But I do recommend thinking about carbs, protein, fruits and veggies.

Hi! Thanks for your question. May I ask what 'fast' means to you?

Hello! Thanks so much for the question. Science has revealed that our bodies fight really hard against losing weight. So, when I work with clients, we dont focus specifically on weight loss. We discuss what you hope to gain by losing weightis it to have more energy and endurance, is it to feel better in your body, or is it to help with managing an illness? We dont know for sure if the positive health outcomes are from losing the weight, or from the positive behavior changes we make when trying to lose weight. So, with ALL of that being said, haha, there is not 1 diet that is more effective for weight loss. Nutrition is highly individualized and must be approached in that way.

If you suspect you have a food allergy, I always recommend reaching out to your physician as allergies can be life threatening. Here are some symptoms of food allergies: * Skin reactions (itchy, hives) * Oral symptoms (itchy or tingling sensation, swelling) * Gastrointestinal (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) * Respiratory (sneezing, stuffy nose, coughing, shortness of breath, wheezingSEVERE) * Other (swelling, dizziness, changes in heart rate) If cherries and peached make you feel poorly, I would suggest no longer ingesting them.

Great question! It's tough to tell with mixed dishes- remember- nutrition is all about the big picture so don't get too lost in the details. Here are some general "rules of thumb" for seeing if you're hitting those DASH goals. 1 grain about a cupped handful or the size of a tennis ball 1 fruit/veggie a heaping handful or a fist 1 protein size of your palm or a deck of cards 1 fat the size of your thumb It might be helpful for you to work with a dietitian to help you reach your health goals!
