Nice to see someone else say that he’s allergic to onions. If I say I’m allergic to onions most people say something like: “you can’t be allergic to onions” or “just try it, you don’t taste them at all”.

[@HighTen_Melanie]

I found going from a manual chair to a powerchair made weight gain a problem over 6 years. Dietitians don’t agree with me that it makes any difference for calorie requirements. I seem to require under 1000 calories now which is making weight loss really difficult.

[@jennylarsson9050]

The first meal looked so good. I love anything that's low effort yet tastes good.

What I like to eat for desert is 200 grams / 0.44lbs greek yogurt with 1 and a half scoops of protein powder (vanilla, stracatella with coconut. cookies & cream, any protein powder works).

Nobody: Richard at 14:18: Straight up has three giant pictures of himself on the wall 😂

[@FightingMSA]

Yeah not too noticeable...lol

[@Wheels2Walking]

The idea behind it “was to see my self the way people see me” I have a distorted view of myself and can be hard and get down on myself. The pics show me what I frequently forget

[@drawingdragons4097]

Wheels2Walking I understand that, that’s a really great idea! I oughta take an approach at the mentality of seeing myself differently because I also tend to struggle with beating myself down about my self image.

I am obese and have absolutely no concept of what my target weight should be being a wheelchair user with atrophied legs, without an ounce of fat on my basically non-existing glutes and such. How much do you weigh? Thanks!

[@christafranken9170]

This is probably a question you would want to ask your doctor, they can look at your personal situation and also give you advise on what would be a healthy and safe way for you to loose weight. Good luck ;-)

[@1355970]

@@christafranken9170 No health professional has a clue about wheelchair users in this entire country as far as weight loss is concerned. Otherwise I wouldn't ask a "random" guy on the internet. I don't even know anyone who has the same muscle mass as me (look at Brian Shaw, imagine him in a wheelchair with bony legs, that's me), so knowing how much Richard weighs on the scale would give me a ballpark figure how much more weight I have to lose. I still have 56" belly circumference at 210 lbs. I can't make a weight loss roadmap if I have no clue what weight I'm aiming at reaching.

[@harriet7494]

My suggestion would be to find out what someone your body type/size without atrophied legs weighs, then minus your current weight from that. That would show you the difference that your legs make in your weight, and then you can use that to work out a target weight.

[@1355970]

@@harriet7494 That's EXACTLY why I asked Richard. My body type is his + fat. I can't show you a picture because youtube is kind enough to auto-hide comments with links in them. -.-'

Hey dude! You should get a soda stream!

This is so funny and great and really inspiring me to try and do more cooking. Living off instant meals since i lost my support workers due to pandemic and i feel like shit. The biggest obstacle for me is i have a mast cell disorder which is like food intollerances to a bunch of stuff, but it’s worse if anything can like, ferment at all, so everything’s about being super fresh. But then I don’t have the strength to be doing all the prep work chopping and peeling everything and then also cook it and also clean it and also eat it. But now you got me thinking i might try doing the prep stuff a day before and just see if my guts will tollerate it since i haven’t actually done that experiment, i just assumed it would be bad.

[@Wheels2Walking]

Big fan of healthy pizza! I make my own crust and use whole wheat flour for fiber. With veggies and protein, it can be a balanced meal as long as you go easy on the cheese.

[@Wheels2Walking]

The cheese is the part that’ll get ya. Just like dressing on a salad, too much will make it wayyyyy unhealthy.

Omg you're like me. I see you have food items I eat as well. I can't have dairy, gluten, onions, nuts, and the most random items like caramel, broccoli, asparagus, turmeric, and etc. to name a few. I have a huge freaking list of things I am severely intolerant too. No idea why. If I eat something that has an ingredient I can't have, I am either down for hours, days, or weeks being trapped in the bathroom. It was really hard when I was young as gluten free foods and stuff like that was really rare. Thankfully foods have come a long way and I now eat really healthy as much as I can.

Take an educational wheelchair daily assist plus emergency preparedness courses. Because think about even drinking through a paper straw. If you’re not hunched over and if you’re not sitting up straight vertical at a string angle, then you could choke! And so could you one day as a wheelchair user or senior! We don’t want to have the runnies, so what we need is soaked breads in water and puréed easy to chew meats and puréed soups and orange juice or pamplemousse juice drank through a straw and buckets of water with a long paper straw available all the time! Perhaps milkshakes with banana and protein box drinks!! Juicing is better than raw: various fruit juices such as condensed nutritional fruit juices are better instead of raw fruit because juicing removes the seeds and prevents choking in fruit peels etc. Strong anal, brain and swallowing muscles depends on a primary healthy liquid protein rich diet. Drink drink drink your foods through a straw. Drink water soaked super well mixed bread through a straw! Never hire a vegetarian nor vegan nurse: if you don’t know that meat can be grown from a molecule without killing an animal and you’re in the science industry as a nurse, then that’s an instant “game over”!
