Question by Jones: Friend wants to lose weight, I don’t want to say…?
My best friend has put on weight in the past year and although I think that she still looks rather skinny, she wants to lose weight.
She doesn’t try very hard, though; she is very very picky about what she eats, and most of what she eats is not particularly healthy (she bakes a LOT). She does not exercise too terribly frequently, but she does show some motivation to, for example, go running with a partner every so often. We have a few times, on top of other stuff (she dances).
While I think that the weight she put on, and may continue to put on, isn’t particularly healthy, I don’t think she’s fat…but, I do not know how to encourage her to change what she eats, mostly because of the fact that besides produce at a grocery store, “health” food is either really expensive or unavailable around here (on-campus food is the WORST).
I don’t want to send her the wrong message, but rather encourage her to start eating and exercising. I invited her to go to the gym with me a couple times…

Answer by Samantha First, I want to say that I totally understand it being hard to eat healthy while in college. I’m a fellow starving college student! Even though I can’t eat as healthy as I would like, I still make sure I am getting enough fruits and veggies into my diet. I buy a lot of those steamfresh vegetables.
Now, onto your real question. You are in a difficult situation because you don’t want to offend your friend. But, typically at this age women begin to put on weight and keep doing so throughout their life. If you haven’t already done so, tell her how much more energy she will have if she starts eating better. Being a college student forces us to stay up late studying (or whatnot!), so we feel tired a lot. Daily workouts can be a great energy source.
I would just approach her gently about the situation. It would be different if she didn’t realize she has put on some weight, but she has. Maybe she doesn’t realize how bad her eating habits are. Encourage her to keep a food diary for a week. That can be an eye opening experience!!!
Question by hellothere: what is a good source of vegan protein substitute that does not contain soy or wheat gluten?
I recently learned that isolated soy protein is sometimes made using formaldehyde and that wheat gluten is implicated as one of the causes of depression. Many people are allergic to wheat gluten, but do not know it. I have in the past have had bouts of depression and would like to try avoiding all wheat. I am a vegetarian and have looked in health food stores and online in search of a good source of vegan protein that does not contain isolated soy protein or gluten, but haven’t been able to find anything. Quorn, which is a common vegetarian protein in Europe, contains egg whites and therefore is not vegan. Many of the “health” food store proteins that sell off the shelf contain sugars, gluten, soy and other unhealthy by products. Does anyone know of a good healthy vegan protein?

Answer by Tiburon_chick Dark leafy veggies are very high in protein. Eat spinach, asparagus and brussel sprouts.

Answer by Kadinsky Check your domestic health insurance (if any) and bank (if you have a “premium” type account); the might include travel insurance.
If not, try the people who you buy home/car/pet insurance from; they might offer you travel insurance at a reduced rate.
In the UK, the Post Office usually has the best deals on travel insurance, but I don’t know how common this practice is in the rest of the world.
