Hi there, I have vit D deficiency and taking one a day vitamine pill atm. It has 1000 iu. Should I increase it more and take some extra's on top?

I'd check with your doctor. Generally an actual Vitamin D deficiency requires above the standard 1000-2000 IUs recommended. *Generally* it's safe for adults to take up to 10,000 even, specifically if they're Caucasian, far away from the equator, etc. But 10,000 is the absolute limit, and I'm seeing more things recommend 5,000 IU as the upper limit, including my endo's rec. Make sure it's all Vitamin D3, too.


My current diet, spitballed:
Morning: Oatmeal made with whole milk, half a banana, some walnuts, salt, dash of vanilla extract, and half a scoop of a pure whey protein powder. Lemon water. Either black tea (usually English Breakfast) with a splash of whole milk or a green tea brewed with red raspberry leaf tea. Weekend breakfast is eggs and potatoes. My breakfast is my most consistent.
Lunch: A grass-fed burger patty or salmon patty with a steamed bag of veggies, sometimes a bit of pasta along that. Sometimes avocado put on top.
Dinner: Varied -- pastas with red sauces, always with added protein like chicken. Lots of dark meat chicken specifically. Occasional salmon and trout. Burgers. American-style chilis. Curries. Lamb tacos. Shepherd's pies. Sides tend to be vegetables, occasional tator tot and potatoey sides. Avocado incorporated in a lot of this.
Snacks: Nuts and cheese is a big one. Pickled eggs. Crackers with cream cheese/cheesey type dips. Soups with some protein powder incorporated. Often my lunch of burgers/salmon/etc. gets spread into another snack later. Larbars.
Drinks: No coffee, period. Alcohol is soooo reduced I hesitate to say I'm even drinking a drink a week now -- special occasion single beers, or occasional ounce or two of dry red wine. Lots of water, lemon water. Occasionally a Naked juice diluted with water. My only caffeine is occasional black tea and predominantly green tea -- I don't steep either very long, as well. Generally drinking a bag of red raspberry leaf tea a day, too.
Fats: Cooking and using butter, occasional olive oil and avocado oil. My husband still likes to cook our weekend breakfast with bacon fat, but I've gotten us to break that up a bit and use duck fat occasionally, too.
Sweets: I'm barely eating any... though that's less of a sway tactic and more because my DH has gotten on a huge "anti-refined sugar" kick unless it's a special occasion, so now there's barely anything in the house :cry:


Lifting heavy weights 2-4x a week (generally 4x). Cardio is dramatically decreased from before DD, and because of winter weather. Any cardio is walking or hiking, occasional yoga. I'd say it's down to MAYBE 1 cardio session a week, but really it's becoming once every other week; I always do a 5 minute run as part of my warm up to weights though.

These diets sound great ladies. I love reading through what boy swayers are eating as I'm trying to change my diet to be very 'boy friendly' even before I start officially swaying. That way I can just up the calories at the time without stressing about what to eat.
