Hi everyone, I wanted to get your thoughts on nighttime urination. Lately, I’ve been getting up once (sometimes twice) at night to pee, which didn’t really happen before. At the same time, I’m also much more hydrated now, especially because eating fruits and vegetables contains a lot of water. I’ve heard two different perspectives on this. One is that if we urinate around 8–12 times a day on average, then statistically it makes sense that nighttime would sometimes be included—especially if we’re going every 2–2.5 hours. The other perspective is about sleep cycles: apparently, we don’t wake up because we need to pee, but rather we become aware of the need to pee when we’re already in a lighter sleep phase. So in that sense, it may not be as disruptive as it sounds. I’m curious how you experience this. Is it normal or “okay” for you to get up once or twice per night? Or do you actively try to avoid it, for example by eating earlier or adjusting fluid intake in the evening? How do you personally handle this? Looking forward to hearing your experiences.

Hey everybody, I have a question about variety importance. I have always been on a budget, but since some difficulties now, it will be even more the case. The thing is that I really want to continue with this diet, I find it even more important to recover now, but I will have to do some more calculs. And I am questioning myself about variety importance. I was trying calculating some different shopping lists and definitely having more bananas is making things cheaper. But I was asking myself if it would be a problem to have for exemple half of my calories coming from bananas for 2-4 months from now? Completing with other seasonal fruits and celery, lettuce and other fruits/veggies? Or if more variety is necessary? I am definitely on a moment of needing nutrition, my body still asks for more calories than I actually move, so I don’t want to compromise my health. But I thought that having more bananas with grapes, pomegranate, persimmon, pear, tangerines, apples, mangoes and still big salads with nuts and seeds from time to time could be an idea, what do you think? I also checked at some associations to maybe get some free things left, or discount products. But yeah no other solution for now like bulk etc. Thx for the reading, looking forward to hear from you ⭐️
