To ask what you think of this typical food intake?

450 grams of cheddar is 1872 calories

Perhaps OP will clarify but I assumes she means she is on medication that can increase blood pressure and so is monitored for that

Not necessarily that she has a heart condition per se.

Perhaps I misunderstood but she says her blood pressure is low.

Are you doing keto, perchance?

I started keto doing similar to yourself i.e. cheese, nuts and dry wine on the weekends. I ended up with really bad stomach aches and constipation, though, ha!

Also, I didn't gain weight but I didn't lose any, either.

Cheese and nuts were my kryptonite.

All my labs came back ok but this diet can be hard on your digestion and who knows what that means for the long term.

If you need fat to feel full, someone here suggested an additional lean meal, instead of nuts and cheese, which is a great idea.

You'd get more quality protein, more vegetables and more healthy fats if you considered this over OMAD + snacks.

DietDoctor is a great site with suggestions on how to build in more keto food without cheese, nuts etc.

Or, add your additional meal, and limit nuts and cheese to 30g/day each.

I mean, don't change if you're okay, but not sure what the point of your question was so have made assumptions until you tell us otherwise!

Ok, well that makes some sense in that you have applied some sort of logic to it

However, something is awry with portion sizes and the fact that your diet is very one dimensional.

How do you eat the cheese and are you sure you've got your measurements right?

I love cheese and dairy but Ive just had a splodge of greek yoghurt, about 50g, as an example and I have to be careful with yoghurt as it gives me heart burn

Then on top of that Ive had about 20g of cheddar and that has doubled the heartburn.

w/w is
50% water
40% cheese
10% nuts

I would also be worrying about long term kidney function. That’s a lot of protein to digest.

Did this start as an Keto/ low carb kick?

Good news is, there’s not a lot of refined carbohydrate or sugars, other than the wine and that’s only a couple of days.

Re the cheese: the advice I was given was that it should be no larger than a small box of matches ( I realise you probably don’t see many of those these days) - so about 5cm/ 2.5cm / 2cm cube shape.

You're being monitored for your heart at 42 years old?!?!

I mean, I'm not surprised but fuck me, this is not good at all OP.

And yes, your diet is absolutely shocking. On so many levels.

Half a kilo of cheese a day 😂You're living the dream!

You thought people would say your diet was healthy?! 🤯 I’m speechless!

What does your husband eat out of interest whilst you eat half a chicken for breakfast? Don’t you ever have meals together?

If this is true, which of course it must be.... erm, there is no need for posters to be rude to the OP.

Not necessary to mention bathrooms stinking. Guess what, poo smells, no matter what you eat.

@ivyball is there a reason that you don't want to say what your current weight is or whether you are gaining, staying the same or losing weight?

You need way, way, waaaaaaaay more vegetables.

I’m sorry OP but I struggle to believe that anyone is stupid enough to believe that eating half an extra large family sized block of cheese PER DAY is healthy. Let alone the 500g beef in one go etc. I actually dont believe this is real.

Don't know about volume and calories but it's fucking WEIRD. You eat half a pack of cheese every day... are you a fucking rat?! Your bathroom must stink!

Yeah I dunno, each to their own but maybe some fibre?

Wow, asking for a heart attack.

450g of cheese isn't a "snack" 😐

You are eating 3,000 plus calories per day so it's too much. 450 g cheese/day is a very unusual diet. Basically you're eating your daily calories in cheese alone more or less, but then you are also eating probably 1200-1500 calories in nuts and other food. It's healthy to eat a variety of foods but your diet in terms of where you get your calories from, is very dominated by cheese. This might have long term consequences if you are not getting a variety of nutrients.

I'm fascinated that you haven't got any carbohydrate in there! How do you feel on this diet? Are you energised? Tired? Can you think quickly?

You've got veg in there for vitamins, which is good. But I can't get over the lack of carbs! They're so important for our body. 70% of what I eat is probably carbs. (I'm also 5' 2", size 10).

It looks like a lot of food to me, because a lot of the things you're eating are very nutrient-dense and heavy. (Also that much cheese is too much for your arteries.. can you have smaller amounts of a stronger one like gruyere so you get the flavour but less volume?)

Yes how did you come about this combination of foodstuffs?

Genuine question: what's your reasoning for thinking you have a 'great diet' as you said in a previous post. What aspects of your meals (and more importantly your overall food consumption) did you think were healthy?

But you wouldn’t eat three mince based meals a day!

You are high risk for gall stones with this diet, especially as a woman in her 40s & even more so if you are overweight. Have a look at the risk factors. I had them - very painful. Removing my gall bladder has left me with lifelong IBS type issues and I can't tolerate eating as much fat e.g. cheese.
