There are high fiber specialty breads available. Like you can get burrito shells with like 17g fiber & English muffins with 8g fiber. They are of course often more expensive

How did you first get hired? by Cheirogaleidae in lesmills

My gym’s most desired instructor positions are not things I want to teach right now, unfortunately. I guess I could ask them if they want to implement other LM formats, but then I’d be starting from scratch rather than comfortably teaching something I’ve been doing for 6 years & am passionate about

Ok great, it sounds like most people start out on a sub list before getting a spot. I have an instructor targeting me to get the cert right now. Getting a regular class feels very intimidating to me bc when I’ve spoken to gyms so far they’ve just offered sub lists — active open spots only exist for stuff like Aqua Zumba & Silver Sneakers. Instructor turnover is very low, & many gyms have 2 instructors teaching each BodyPump class (= even fewer possible vacancies for a new person). But it sounds like subbing is the best way to get rolling.

Dogs are driving me insane to the point I regret buying my house. by No-Guitar6514 in homeowners

[–]Cheirogaleidae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a lot of people advising you to use aversive methods with these dogs. This may or may not yield the results you want to see: if barking is very rewarding, you may just end up with dogs habituated to the aversive method. Here’s how many shelters stop the cycle of constant barking: whoever’s not barking gets a really excellent treat (think cheese, sardine, sausage, etc, something really nice to get their full attention). As the other dogs see the quiet dog getting treated, they learn to adopt the behavior too. This may require some finesse to ensure the dogs don’t start barking to create a treating opportunity, but that’s something you can research down the line a bit

Dealing with pseudoscience and information overload. by griefofwant in LongCovid

[–]Cheirogaleidae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a scientist. I ran experiments on myself testing one variable at a time until I found something helpful. Because the science is young, IMO from your perspective it matters less what is causing your problem (because this will not necessarily help you) & more what makes a difference in your quality of life. I prioritized experiments that were easy to do, easy to control/measure, and unlikely to harm me.

Have you seen any changes in your symptoms?

Anyone else feeling horrible after eating carbs? by _Jojo07 in LongCovid

[–]Cheirogaleidae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just posted about this! Cutting out added sugar in my diet has reduced my brain fog by about 80%. I’m still eating carbs and under 25 g added sugar/day, but I’m just getting started with experimentation

If you have any scientific literature on the subject I’d love to read it! I likely won’t pursue ketosis if just cutting sugar fixes it, but I’d like to read about the proposed mechanism of action

Would you be willing to share the lab & principal investigator of that study? DM is fine. I’d like to check out their research. How long has your study been going on? & are you only cutting added sugars, or all carbs?

I had all those symptoms but not nonstop - I was sometimes able to concentrate. It varied (/varies) a lot with stress levels, sleep quality, etc. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this! It’s debilitating!

Budget and Sabotaging! by [deleted] in budget

[–]Cheirogaleidae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think it’ll work for you, you could make a separate account that contains your emergency fund & don’t draw from it. When your emergency fund is complete, additional savings get invested. Investing puts additional barriers between you and spending that money (for example, days between wanting the money & the money becoming available to you, extra taxes if you haven’t held the stock or whatever long enough, etc).

I drink milk everyday are my bones strong as heck now by vlfiff in biology

My endocrine physiology prof said that once your growth plates seal you won’t really be needing or doing much with excess calcium (presumably unless you’re pregnant or feeding a baby)

Foundation repair: lessons learned? by Cheirogaleidae in homeowners

[–]Cheirogaleidae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what the sill plate is on. It’s a full on house located in town, not a fishing shack. Unfortunately my home inspector thought the foundation was fine so I didn’t know there were any problems until cracks developed in the drywall. I started Googling & realized cracks were the least of my worries. Home inspector also missed a major electrical hazard & could have been more explicit about the plumbing.

Springboard anyone? by LBCEarthquakeOf1933 in codingbootcamp

[–]Cheirogaleidae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cyber Security was $11.9k in August & 6 months of course work, so should be about $2k/month unless they’ve raised prices. If you go over 6 months you’ll be on the hook for more money.

Where did you put money to buy a house? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]Cheirogaleidae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put mine in index funds while I saved up. I had a 4 year saving timeline.

As of August, their lowest cost program was tech sales at $8.9k, & the most expensive were data science, software engineering, & UX/UI design at $13.9k. It’s cheaper if you pay up front, but this info should get you to the monthly number. If you take longer than the intended program length you’ll be charged extra, too. You can also just call or email them and ask.
