How well do you eat, and do you drink enough water?

[manic_depressive13]

My sister developed Anemia after 5 years of vegetarian and had a number of different solutions by different Dietitians, naturopaths and GPs saying that she should gradually introduce some more solid protein back into her diet as supplements weren't fully benefiting her enough.

Hahaha, anemia (at least the type a vegetarian would develop) is a lack of iron. It has nothing to do with protein. You should have told your sister to stop visiting quacks.

I have an extremely unhealthy diet that would kill lesser mortals. Unfortunately I've gotten to the point healthy food makes me feel ill.

My diet varies, terrible on holidays, good when working and keeping a busy timetable.

As for water I drink a lot every day for all the health reasons and...

Spoiler: ...one NSFW reason

Ejaculate volume, I find that decreasing is one of the first things to happen when I'm dehydrated, makes sex less enjoyable

Though they're both important when someone has a deficiency. Was probably worded retardedly.

1) I'm too healthy. Yes it's a thing. I seriously need to lose the weight near my abdomen.

2) I'm pretty good with water; I drink enough to live, so that's something.

All I need to do is exercise more as I'm too fat around my abdomen, but well built everywhere else. I'm also likely to stay vegetarian, as I like how healthy I am when I go out to the park or so with my friends and see how well I last in any sport we're playing at that time.

Fuck off, captcha. I'm interested in looking lean, not buff to the extreme.

He's not talking about "a deficiency". He is talking about anemia, and it is perfectly possible to be getting ample protein and still have anemia. It's like recommending she get more vitamin C. Sure, vitamin C is important but in itself is not the solution to anemia. It's just tangentially related.

Bad wording would be if his syntax was a bit ambiguous. Saying protein is the solution to anemia is just factually incorrect.

That has always boggled me, why the emphasis on drinking water? Everything liquid hydrates you, even beer and caffeine. Sure pop and beer has crap in it but so does water and it tastes a lot better than water!

Uh... What's in water? Water is calorie-free, and notable for its absence of anything in it. Pop, however, has 36 grams of sugar or so per can, and alcohol has even more calories than that.

OT: I drink lots of milk and water, and eat healthy/semi-healthy stuff as I need to. I'll sometimes splurge when I'm at work.

My diet isn't necessarily bad, but it definitely is inconsistent. For weeks at a time, I'll eat the three good meals, no real junk food, and so on. And then I'll completely ignore it for a couple of weeks. I do, however, drink way too much pop.

I tend to drink about 1L of water a day. Not enough, and I sometimes do feel dehydrated as a result.

 

[Do4600]

My breakfast is usually dry cereal, toast or pastry, I skip lunch and it is my habit to eat a large dinner consisting of fresh rice, chicken and blanched vegetables or a homemade beef stew or soup. I usually drink at least two liters of water at some point during the day.

 

[Elvaril]

My diet has been terrible recently. Ever since college let out for the semester I have only been eating a meal once a day. Very rarely I might get a snack. I have been drinking a lot more liquid though as a result. Or perhaps it is because I have been drinking so much that I only feel like eating once a day.

 

[Zhukov]

I eat... not that great. I don't eat a lot of junk or sugary stuff, but nor do I eat enough fruit and veg.

I drink about 2 litres a day. Just water, no soft drinks or whatnot. No idea if that's supposed to be enough.

 

[Saulkar]

I do not actively eat healthy but I stray away from most things that are intrinsically unhealthy. This in turn means that as far as most dietitioners are concerned my diet is nothing to recoil from. As for water I drink about 4-6 250-500ML cups a day.

 

[Bunnymarn]

I have recently become a vegetarian, after a horrific Christmas eve dinner (which consisted of fried chicken, potato bake, prawns, glazed ham, pork, garlic bread and pasta with meat in it... I ended up vomiting Christmas morning). At the moment, I drink no where near enough water. But, since I'm now vegetarian, I'm going to pick up the slack with my water drinking habits too. Does anyone have any good vegetarian recipes?

I'm also making a switch from cow's milk to almond milk. I should have done it sooner - how can you go wrong with almonds, water and a pinch of honey?

 

[capper42]

My diet is pretty rubbish. It's ok at the moment because I'm at home, but when I'm at uni I just find unhealthy foods easier. It's a shame, because I love cooking and am fairly healthy when I get the motivation to do it, but that isn't as frequently as I'd like.

As for water, I don't know the exact amount I drink daily, but it must be pretty high. I'm constantly back and forth from the kitchen to get more water.

 

[Veldel]

my diet is horrible food wise i eat to much pizza and chicken



Drink wise its nothing but Sunny D and Skim Milk i can drink gallons of it in a day

 

[Libra]

Well, my water intake is good. 2-3 liters a day, and water is all I drink (no coffee/soda/alcohol etc.)

Food, on the other hand, is less impressive. I get my veggies and fruit, and eat meat at the most 3-4 times a week, I just eat too little. I usually stop at about 1000 calories.

Then again, for a borderline anorexic that's good. At least I'm not sticking fingers down my throat or anything.

I drink no water, drink other stuff though.

As for food, it's the typical gamer diet but no crisps (chips to you 'muricans). Give me chocolate and microwave burgers till I die. I love fruit, veggies and pasta but it's not as convenient or as cheap as other stuff.

I think I just figured out why I am packing on pounds.....

Alcohol and Caffeine are diuretic though, they make you pee, so the net balance is loss hence why you need to drink water.
