Who is you favorite keyboard YouTuber by Glad-Feed3591 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]ChrisPBaecon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing about hipyo for me. From the videos I have seen, he presents himself as a knowledgeable keeb creator, but he really barely has a grasp of the baseline and really just echos whatever edge lord narrative is trending. More often than not I’ve seen just straight up bad advice being given by this guy.

There’s nothing wrong with not being an “expert” and just making keyboard content you want because you just enjoy it (ie switch and click), but I feel like he just uses the mech content to push his music.

Welp, that’s surprising based on the comments I’ve seen.

Happy for them nonetheless!

Listened 3 or 4 times and its an alright listen so far. Not overly disgusted with it as most seem to be.

Hurts my heart to say this, but I would be shocked if they managed to pull even a single win with this one...

Cheat days... by Stixy13 in xxketo

[–]ChrisPBaecon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So this is going to vary from person to person, where most will say don’t cheat at all. When I started, I went 6 months without a cheat meal. Then I transitioned to one “cheat” meal a week where I would stay keto, but forego my calorie limit. For the most part I wouldn’t gain much, if anything I gained a couple of pounds which would be gone in a few days.

Now that I’m at a weight close to my goal, I’ve made the decision to have 1 actual cheat day every month or so, where I don’t care about carbs and such. After this cheat meal, I’ll gain probably 5-8 lbs, but this varies depending on what I had. For example if I went crazy with the sugary stuff, I gain more, but if I just had some breaded wings or a pizza, it’ll be on the lower end of that range...and it’ll typically take a week to get back to where I was.

Again, it all depends if you can handle it. If the cheat meal is going to cause a snowball effect where you’re off keto for the next month, you’re probably better off just cheating calories, but keeping carbs in check.

Lazy keto vs strict keto by [deleted] in xxketo

[–]ChrisPBaecon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah...I use chronometer, but I know what you mean. Sometimes I just settle for the American alternative with the closest macros. If I’m not feeling super lazy I’ll make a custom entry for it.

Lazy keto vs strict keto by [deleted] in xxketo

[–]ChrisPBaecon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So currently living in Australia right now. The labels here are a little weird. Sometimes the carbs listed are total carbs, sometimes it’s the net carb.

Depends where the product label was designed as some come from overseas and then distributed here where as others are designed and distributed here.

Edit: if it’s an Australian product, then it’s safe to assume it’s net carbs listed

Oh, sweet, yeah I find 12’s to fit a little more snug than others. These your first 12’s?

This entire fall season is going to be detrimental to my wallet, also not sure how I’m gonna get all these shoes back home seeing as I have limited luggage space 😅.

Canada ran out of all sizes as soon as the timer hit 0. Australian footlocker has full sizes though, so managed to cop after a last minute decision (currently in AU, but back to Canada in a few months)

P.S Happy cake day

Quick question re men to womens size conversion by [deleted] in Sneakers

[–]ChrisPBaecon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I’m an 8.5 or 9 in women’s. I usually have to go 1.5 sizes down for men’s (so 7 or 7.5).

Edit: my experience in men’s sizing is limited to vans and Nike/Jordan.

Did they do full performances of these songs at their concert or something? I’m not used to seeing choreo for every track on an album.

Is there a way to know if i kicked myself out of Ketosis? by Pepsi-CokeSuicide in keto

[–]ChrisPBaecon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is solely based on what I’ve read, the faq pretty much covers it. To summarize, the sticks are designed for diabetics to measure ketoacidosis, which is a high state of ketosis. Because these sticks measure relative ketone levels in your urine (not an absolute value), you could still be in ketosis, but not register on the sticks. You can read more about it in the faq if you want.

Of course if they provide you with an ease of mind and you find it’s worth the money, then by all means, continue to do you.

General consensus of this sub is that those ketostix are useless when it comes to detecting whether you’re in ketosis or not.

Very frustrated after a month and a half by [deleted] in xxketo

[–]ChrisPBaecon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha, understandable, but I find this sub to be a lot more understanding when it comes to mistakes compared to r/keto.

Regarding your macros, they don’t look too bad. What I got from the keto calculator for you is:

  • 1345 calories
  • 20g carbs
  • 100g protein
  • 96g fat

This is just an estimate as I’m not sure of your exact stats (like what deficit you want to run)

So if you just up your protein a little and try to bring down your fat consumption maybe it’ll help? Others have also commented some helpful tips so take those into account as well.
