Nutrition - I'm answering this question separately so others will see it. I can't eat 95% of the food out there due to dysphagia (chewing and swallowing issues from my neuro issue), one breast cancer med gave me afib and anything with tyramine, histamine, caffeine, etc. will trigger afib so that eliminated most of what I could eat. And then there are food allergies, GERD, diabetes, cholesterol, etc. On top of that, a strong neurotoxic antibiotic caused me to lose my taste and smell permanently 9 years ago so I can't taste what I can eat. Eating is a chore for me, no longer enjoyable. It's a social issue too.
Nutritionist - 3 nutritionists really couldn't help me because of my massive restrictions and their limited knowledge, but I just recently started having conversations with Google AI and what a great find! AI is my perfect nutritionist!!! I can eat bread texture so I'm using muffins as my main vehicle for nutrition as physically eating produce is sooo challenging for me. AI created a recipe for me with my requested ingredients, freshly milled flour (super nutritious -- good for gut), oat bran (good for lowering cholesterol and blood sugar), buttermilk (fluffiness), applesauce, banana, mango, spinach, black beans, just enough maple syrup to offset any bitterness. All the ingredients are blended smooth. Friends tried them and couldn't taste the beans or spinach at all. The texture is amazingly moist and soft and so nutritious!
Then I told AI what else I was eating and asked which key nutrients I was still missing in my diet and we went from there and worked out the perfect, albeit limited, healthy diet plan for me. Give AI a try for special diet issues. Best of luck!
@californiazebra Good grief all over again! Are you using a specific AI, or something like Claude? I'm asking because I have gotten a huge amount of info from using specifically Claude. Not sure it matters, my roommate just shared their paid subscription with me. Just one other question, (unusually for me, I know) are you saying you put all of those things in a smoothie? Thanks for your responses!
