I'm curious: why do most people who care about nutrition tend to assemble their plates from separately prepared components—meat, vegetables, and carbs? Why not serve a portion from a shared pot, for example a stew that already combines meat and vegetables? Is shared cooking or serving from a communal pot considered inappropriate or discouraged for some reason?

не модно. не инcтaгpaмно. пост некоасивый получится. и вообще, почему то многие считают что пп — это какие-то труднодоступные продукты обязательно не растущие в их регионе.

В рагу сложнее определить, сколько вы положили мяса и овощей, и главное, жира. Но если можете на глаз примерно определять, то ешьте рагу

Some dietitians are spreading nonsense. I visited a doctor, and at the end of the consultation she gave me a link to her page, so I followed her. Now almost every post is about her culinary creations, and each one highlights a different product. I asked her a question—the same one I asked you—but I didn't get an answer.

Did you see good results? Have you been able to maintain this way of eating consistently without slip-ups? Is this approach intended as a long-term strategy?

I always chuckle that avocado is treated like a “clean-eating” superfood while sunflower oil gets called poison. Both are plant fats with vitamin E, after all. There are tons of oils available, and avocados don’t exactly grow on every windowsill — so avocado gets the healthy reputation. For me it’s the opposite: avocados grow under my window, so they feel ordinary, not special.

It's hard to calculate. For example, a stew might contain 200 g of meat and only 30 g of vegetables — or the other way around. That's why it's understandable that counting is tricky.

Plain potatoes are often seen as not very healthy and aren't usually counted as vegetables (as a source of fiber).
If your stew uses zucchini or cauliflower instead of potatoes, that's great 😅

A while ago, someone in our chat was trying to lose weight. One woman couldn't because, in winter, fresh vegetables—cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers—were too expensive. It wasn't helpful to tell her that stewed cabbage is a vegetable too or that you don't need a lot of money to lose weight; she was facing real financial constraints.

Losing weight can be really inexpensive — eat less and you'll slim down. 😁 Just be sure to do it safely and listen to your body.

I know tastes vary, but to me cabbage is like Pandora's box 😆 — not glamorous or exciting, kind of like pink salmon.

Goar Are potatoes unhealthy? 😳😳😳
Actually, potatoes are a complex carbohydrate. They typically have fewer calories than many grains, a high satiety index, and plenty of micro- and macronutrients — which makes them a great option for people trying to lose weight. I'm talking about boiled or baked potatoes. So, potatoes in a stew are totally fine — tasty and satisfying.

I've recently come to the conclusion that the idea of "healthy eating" is pretty distorted these days. Everyone chases beautiful pictures, fashions, and trends. For me, healthy eating is simply home-cooked food in moderate portions. If you have porridge for breakfast, borscht for lunch, and potatoes with a meat patty for dinner on normal-sized plates—and you don't wash it all down with heaps of bread, candies, chocolate, sauces, sausages, and other unhealthy extras—losing weight will naturally follow. I've tested this on myself more than once.

Mummi Nata I guess it's inevitable, and I mostly agree 😁. It's just that even eating nothing but celery and kiwi doesn't help me lose weight anymore 🥲. It feels like the fat has settled in for good and refuses to budge, no matter what I try.

I follow this approach consistently.
Over the past six months I've lost 22 kilograms.
Yes — this is a lifelong restructuring of eating habits.
You can read about the Harvard Plate yourself; it doesn't promote mono diets or require strict separation of food groups.

These days, 'PP' (short for 'proper nutrition') is often treated like a fashion trend rather than a genuine approach to healthy eating or weight loss.

I believe counting calories is important — it helps you understand how much of each nutrient is in different foods. Do it for at least a couple of months; after that, you’ll be able to estimate portions by eye. For me, this was a long-term change. I permanently changed my eating habits: I enjoy what I eat and no longer crave mayonnaise, processed meats, and similar foods. I still eat sweets sometimes, but not everything; I avoid combining fats and carbohydrates because that tends to show up as fat around the waist. 🙂

For example, I usually don't make stews. In dishes where everything is mixed together there is often very little meat (i.e., protein), and I watch my protein intake closely. I need to be sure the portion I eat is large enough — at least 120 g.

Could you please show me where it says that ragout (stew) isn't allowed? The sample menu even includes it.

This is just brief reference information. There are also scientific studies and textbooks, and they don't mention it either. Thank you.

Sinelnikova Yanina Yes, I do exercise. At first I just wanted to lose weight — to slim down in a way that looks good, not by losing muscle. If you make sure to hit your daily protein goal, you'll preserve as much muscle as possible. Without muscle, you won't get the look you're aiming for. Protein is important for other reasons too: collagen and elastin are made from protein.

Goar Starch is a complex carbohydrate 🙈. The glycemic index (GI) isn't a fixed value — it can vary. For example, hot boiled potatoes can have a different GI than cooled boiled potatoes.
I totally agree with that last point — 100%.

You might want to ask what someone means by “salmon” 😄. “Salmon” isn’t a single species — it’s an entire family (Salmonidae). So it’s not always clear which fish is being sold under the name “salmon.”

Stews can be tricky to estimate calories for. Even if they’re mostly made of vegetables, getting precise calorie and macro counts can be difficult — I know that can be frustrating if you track protein, fats, and carbs. Also, vegetables that are slightly undercooked or lightly sautéed tend to retain more nutrients and are generally healthier.

Goar I've read in many places that potatoes are considered 'healthy' or part of a clean-eating diet. It really depends on how they're prepared.
