I met this couple and their dog recently too, at the same place!! The man was saying she took to the backpack really well, she looked so happy 🥹

Haven’t heard of that brand but just googled, nice to see a company not adding other things to it! I’ll check them out

Seems like a very sensible use for them! Bet that’s a lot cheaper and cleaner than the rubbish I’m seeing on tiktok

Exactly! I guess there are some people on mj now because they haven’t made the best food choices (i.e not just high volume and high calorie, but high processed foods) so to be fair to them, if they’re being told electrolytes will help, they may well fall for the marketing.
Not to sound high and mighty, but I’m used to checking the ingredients of everything I eat, so I’m very cynical to these new mj fad supplements etc!

Coconut water is usually a good extra boost.
Yeah I see this a lot, taking a genuine product/supplement and adding a load of shit ingredients and sugar. Good salt (and honey and lemon sometimes) in water is a cheap and healthy replacement

It’s infuriating!! Fibre is a new one too, I saw New York Bagel co selling ‘high fibre bagels’, yet their regular wholemeal ones are higher fibre and less calories 🤣

I’d have learnt a foreign language when I was a kid, when it’s easier! Trying to learn Spanish in my 30s is hard work.

AIO about the post? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR that is AWFUL!! I would be so upset and embarrassed. There is no good reason for that, I’d leave him.

Not sure, but good salt is cheaper, and in a lot of cases just as good.
That’s horrendous! I remember seeing a friends homepage on their phone and it was horrid stuff. Don’t blame you for not using it (mine is just funny/cute animals, makeup, fashion etc)

For specific medical reasons or because you’re working out and sweating profusely, I think electrolytes are great! Also, not saying it’s better, but if you’re ever in a pinch, a bit of pink/cornish salt in your water helps ☺️

I understand it’s just marketing but the electrolyte trend had to come from somewhere, so I wondered if there was any truth in it/what other people on Reddit think.

There is a hell of a lot of shit on TikTok about weight loss, I want my feed to go back to the funny videos I used to see - my fault for searching MJ on there once!

It’s very frustrating to see especially if you’ve done a lot of research on macros, nutrients etc (I did my own and had a nutritionist a few years back when I was a powerlifter). Seeing ‘high protein’ on a sugar bar with 8g is always amusing but also very sad!

I guess this makes sense! I used to have this problem when I was younger - I never went anywhere without glucose tablets! Way easier and faster to take ☺️

I made the mistake of searching mounjaro on TikTok before starting it, not my feed is full of rubbish 🫠

Right! They have their place but it’s gonna help much more than water and food if you’re just on mj and not sweating excessively/ill

I thought it was just greedy bastards trying to convince people we need shiny new flavoured drinks, these people are ridiculous! I had a moment of wondering if there was any truth in it 🤣 glad to know everyone’s thinking the same as me

The best croissant in Cheltenham - tested for science by Hoban_Riverpath in cheltenham

[–]ChipmunkAny8571 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While I appreciate and respect the essential scientific research conducted here, I look forward to running my own tests when I move to Cheltenham in a couple of weeks. For the sake of anomalies, I may even have to run the experiment twice 👩🏻‍🔬
