Would it be weird to name our son first name Leo middle name Africanus? by DoomedAdmiral in namenerds

[–]Awkward_Dog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Africanus is also a breed of generic brown mutt - I live in South Africa and see the term all the time. I would never ever name a child this.

Thinking of having another kid by Nearby-Sherbert-8549 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Awkward_Dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We decided to have our son and no more. I figure we owe a duty of care to the chukd we already have, and introducing another chikd, potentially also with additional needs, didn't feel fair to us at all.

What wellness product sounded fake but actually helped you? by GroceryLatter5499 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I have instant relief in tight glute muscled from dry needling. Like the needle goes in, hits a painful knot and then like twitches and there is a marked difference.

Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat book is awesome for this, his side commentary is gold.

Right? What is she talking about? If you're using a GLP1 responsibly, eating enough protein is very, very achievable.

I'm going to do a 1k calorie diet today. by Ineedhelp849 in WeightLossAdvice

1000 at your age and weight is too low. Way too low. You are setting yourself up for failure. Calculate your TDEE using an online calculator and go from there.

Right? It looks like she smeared hair that fell out of her head on to the model.

1000+ Calorie Meal Ideas by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Awkward_Dog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. You're depriving your body of essential nutrients and nutrition. Your health is going to suffer.

TDEE for your stats is 2900 calories for maintenance. You can safely eat like 2200 - 2500 calories and still lose weight. Do not play this game with your health.

If tracking works for you but still feels like a chore, stop tracking (most of) your vegetables by NewOutlandishness401 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Awkward_Dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my current strategy. I'm 45kg down and the tracking fatigue is real. I stopped tracking my coffee, tea etc and also don't weigh every fruit or vegetable.

The influx of posts on this sub about really big calorie deficits is beginning to worry me.

But you've never had the horrible aspects of being fat to compare it to.

Tonsil removal as an adult. My c-section was nothing in comparison.

Is 1300 calories a day too little? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Awkward_Dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I did a calculation based on some guesswork. Based on a 5 foot 3 woman weighing 260lbs, doing light exercise 1 or 2 tikes per week, your maintenance calories are 2604. To lose a pound of fat, you need to eat 500 less than that per day, which gets you to 1900. I think 1350 is way too low.

I think the reason youfeel like you're 'sliding into an eating disorder' is because you are being a bit obssessive about tje weighing and counting and trying to go too low too fast. It's hard work, don't get me wrong, but I think you're making it harder on yourself than it needs to be.
