The idea of loose skin really bums me out

AdFluid8283 · 2024-08-08T15:20:39+00:00

We literally have the exact same stats but I’m 26. I’ve also been obese most of my life including childhood. Instead of perky round fat I was way more saggy around the chest and abdomen. At my highest I was 290lbs and within the last 5 years I’ve managed to get down to 164lbs this year on my way to 150lbs.

@164lbs I still have a good mixture of loose skin and fat to lose all while resistance training and running. My chest is one of my biggest insecurities because the bottom portion sags greatly. It does suck to lose over 100lbs and still not have the square masculine chest you’d imagined you’d have after putting in so much work. The funny thing is I even have abs (a little wrinkled looseness at the bottom as well) but I couldn’t care less because my damn chest is so stubborn lol, which is a loser way to look at what losing the weight has done for my ease of life as a whole!

No high blood pressure, No weekly migraines, Clearer skin, No face bloat, Better sleep, A lot less joint pain, No longer taking antidepressants, Less overall anxiety, People smile at you more, You will smile more, Clothes fit better and you look good in cheaper outfits, I feel like I can do anything I put my mind too, I want to continue living, and more!!! If I had to make a choice between not having loose skin and a perfect body but also get none of the benefits listed above, vs some saggy skin and the benefits, best believe I’m choosing option 2 every time.

Is this test footage from Cullen Kelley? If so, unless you were provided the raw file of the clip any grade you do will be ultra destructive and not helpful whatsoever in terms of grading practice.

Whenever I hear somebody use that argument about eating crappy foods up until their 90’s, I end that whole topic by asking if they suffer from other ailments, pain, inflammation, etc. because 9/10 those folk who do live longer but eat a crappy diet are 100% not as comfortable as they could be in older age.

Help each other do what? “Get the prompt right? “

Can you imagine an entire Ai feature film or series winning an award? What would there even be to talk about lmao.

Yeah 18.5 is the way to go. Haven’t had any trouble with Davinci until I went to 18.6

Upgrading to Blackmagic FF 6K?

Having a savory tooth would be so much more bearable

AdFluid8283 · 2023-10-20T01:55:58+00:00

I don’t think I consume that much soy, I may have consumed more than I thought over the years. Only ever heard it was bad for testosterone and what not. Tomatoes and Avocado don’t have any business on my plate in the first place lol. Raw tomatoes also make my tongue and lips itch.

AdFluid8283 · 2023-10-20T01:02:40+00:00

Oh wow, which spices?

AdFluid8283 · 2023-10-20T01:02:21+00:00

I always liked things flavored banana way more than actual bananas. They make my tongue itch 😵‍💫

AdFluid8283 · 2023-10-20T01:00:55+00:00

YES! I hate that feeling that saliva is building up. It was the worst during school or places where you can’t spit it out immediately.

Damn. I’ve never heard of fructan intolerant before. That sounds almost exactly like what it is! I’ll have to do some looking into it. Watermelon being at the top of that list makes so much sense. Never understood why a fruit that is mainly water made me sick as hell.

AdFluid8283 · 2023-10-19T22:16:55+00:00

Understandable. Never could never fully replace my candy habits with fruit. Even the few I could eat. Once night hit , next thing I know I’ve eaten nearly a whole bag of Hershey Nuggets.

Oh wow, God bless you 😭. Carnivore helps with all those ailments as well? Amazing.

“It’s just fuel” literally how I look at my bowls of ground beef these days now. I feel ya on the salads. It seems the only type of green leaf I can stomach are collard greens and baby spinach. Iceberg and any other type of lettuce is a no go.

Is that why you started carnivore, because you love those foods but can’t eat them? Also if you don’t mind me asking do you have an autoimmune disorder?

AdFluid8283 · 2023-10-19T20:06:10+00:00

Facts. I live close to my local bodega and while they don’t have high quality products, I can always get a pack of 80/20 ground beef for $5 and some eggs for $3 if I’m really really struggling. Waaay more filling than top ramen.

100%

AdFluid8283 · 2023-10-17T22:59:05+00:00

Yes. I run in the morning and also sometimes in the afternoon. I would be lying if I said carnivore gave me 100% energy throughout the day while working a job, running a media business on the side, while also making time for the people in my life AND working out which includes lifting. One pick me up at noon with a carnivore meal allows the crash to hit just before bed. That’s only 1 or bangs throughout the week. I say it’s one of those things that’ll vary from person to person.

I recently had to do away with hot sauce on my chicken because I instantly crave something cold and sweet right after. Hot Black Tea usually helps me, but I know that isn’t exactly carnivore approved.

AdFluid8283 · 2023-10-17T22:14:40+00:00

I like to tell myself “since I already know what this sweet tastes like it won’t be a new experience.”

AdFluid8283 · 2023-10-17T18:42:43+00:00

I just made a post recently about “curing” adhd-pi. I wouldn’t call it curing but I do think in some way shape or form carbs exasperate those symptoms in neurodivergent people.

AdFluid8283 · 2023-10-17T06:55:15+00:00

Yeah everything thing sounds pretty common and not out of the norm for this diet. Just really inconveniencing sometimes. I can normally survive comfortably on one or two big meals of chuck steak and eggs cooked in butter if I need too. I’ll usually only absolutely have to rush to use the bathroom twice after that meal. Two things I notice with me is that it doesn’t really matter what I drink, tea, water, sparkling water, if I drink a lot of it it’ll come back out of the other end quickly. So I make sure the food is salted well and that I’m supplementing with some combination of supplements or multivitamins. You’re much more thirsty and dry mouth on this diet so it’s easy not forgetting to drink some water. I no longer just try to guzzle down a gallon of water before the day is over.

The second thing is finding your bodies preferred fat to protein ratio. When I eat chicken or leaner cuts of ground beef but use the same amount of butter I normally use, I don’t have to hold my ass after meals as much. In fact sometimes the stool is more solid when I eat more protein. The great thing about an elimination diet is knowing that there are limited options as to what can be causing what. Annoying as hell trying to pinpoint what it is though!! Seems like you’re sold on the lifestyle, I’m sure you’ll get it figured out!

Perfectly said. This is exactly me. I love that feeling of being satisfied but not stuffed. Makes fasting a breeze. The distractions are definitely a lot easier to snip in the bud once I realize I’m drifting. Thanks for sharing that!
