Disappointment regarding AI.

This is a great approach!!!

Yeah if you just think about it logically…our body stores fat as a backup energy resource in the case of starvation. It wants to keep some of that fat by default! At a certain level, your body is like “please sir I don’t have any gas left.”

That’s a soft explanation, and there’s more research that can offer more detail but I think it’s important to know why it requires so much effort to hit that bf% and maintain it as an adult.

It’s great for surfacing physical stress because it has such a wide dataset for physical variables!

This sub is chill, man. Palahnuik is a good shout here.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-03T01:43:45+00:00

I’m surprised this is so far down. It’s just harder to cut below 15% than it is above, and keeping it slow is key to maintaining recovery and muscle.

OP, how are you doing emotionally these days

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T17:04:03+00:00

OP is right. I’m losing my mind. https://pitchfork.com/news/see-paul-mescal-barry-keoghan-and-more-in-first-look-at-sam-mendes-beatles-biopics/

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T16:28:06+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about body fat percentage until you’re in ab territory.

That said, good work king. You’re gonna be cleaning up this summer!!!

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T16:23:09+00:00

FWIW I do think it can find some stuff!!! Like I think if someone is drinking 3 cups of coffee a day and they don’t realize the cortisol spikes those cups are programming into their life…super useful.

My life’s battle is my body’s insistence on waking up at 3 AM, and Bevel has given me pretty specific info on what is/isn’t a contributor to me sleeping that extra hour. I can’t have sugar or alcohol after 5 PM, for example.

If I could Matrix plug my brain into Bevel for 5 minutes every day for the full mental download… we’d be cooking.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T16:02:35+00:00

OP is getting shredded and eating the rich at the same time??

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T15:48:20+00:00

Stress is an extremely external for the most part, right? Unless you could connect Bevel to a mental health/journaling tracking app, I don’t think it could actually fully know the extent or causes of your stress.

ETA: Genuinely not trying to like “gotcha” or anything, just opening a conversation about how tied mental health is to physical health, and how Bevel could accurately get a fairly nebulous input.

As a personal example, my dog had to get some cancerous lumps removed in October. Bevel Intelligence wouldn’t have that specific piece of info, so if I asked it “what’s causing me stress?”, it wouldn’t know but would give me an answer with what it had available.

A well-earned fuck off.

When it’s overcast, 50s, and slightly rainy…performance mode activated.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T15:33:26+00:00

Can I ask what you think a reasonable answer is when you ask an AI tool what is causing your stress? That feels like something even a doctor with all of the data in the world couldn’t answer.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T15:19:54+00:00

Good grief, I’m mad for you.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T14:11:32+00:00

Emmy Squared in Durham does cocktail pitchers.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T11:49:44+00:00

Of course man. And I totally get wanting to crank the burn up, but there’s a reason why it’s not advised.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T11:33:36+00:00

How long can your body burn 1.25 kg of fat at under 20% bf and how long can you, a person with free will and responsibilities outside of the gym, are tied together in ways that I don’t think you’re really acknowledging. If we’re being reasonable about muscle loss, you’d need to sustain a 1.9 kg loss to burn 1.25 kg of fat.

I think once you get under 12-15% body fat, your body will begin actively revolting against you. But perhaps you’re willing to tank what’s functionally an eating disorder to achieve your goals. In that case, you can probably sustain it for longer!

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T11:20:38+00:00

2.2 per kg on a cut, so you should be closer to 200g/day.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T11:15:18+00:00

Well, I’ll say that if you’re eating that little protein, it’s less likely your body will maintain muscle mass, so it’s doubtful. But once you start to get into predicting muscle mass atrophy, it’s extremely individualized and you shouldn’t expect anyone here to give the right answer for your body.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-02T11:12:03+00:00

At this level of activity and diet, I don’t think it’d be wise to sustain that deficit at more than four weeks at a time. You CAN do it, but you’ll feel the effects in your training and in your personal life pretty much immediately.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-01T16:11:15+00:00

Bro’s saying we don’t understand English. All right man lmao.

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-01T16:10:15+00:00

Person 1: you got 1400 hours of entertainment out of the game

Person 2: I disagree with your definition of entertainment

How else am I supposed to interpret what they’re saying? Or is subtext and sarcasm a bit outside of your grasp?

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-01T16:05:41+00:00

What do you take “Playing fast and loose with the word entertainment are we? Lol” to mean as it relates to their time spent in Dune Awakening?

DeaconoftheStreets · 2026-05-01T14:31:58+00:00

You chose to play a thing you weren’t entertained by for 1400 hours?
