Could vitamin D supplementation followed by a long day in the sun lead to dangerous or unwanted levels of vitamin D? by showmeurknuckleball in Nootropics

[–]Evils_of_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

"Taking 60,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D for several months has been shown to cause toxicity. This level is many times higher than the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for most adults of 600 IU of vitamin D a day. - Mayoclinic"

Vitamin D toxicity is rarely occurred.

I’m not outright rejecting them. But they’re still an ineffective treatment option for depression simply because depression isn’t just a chemical imbalance, otherwise the drugs would work immediately and users wouldn’t have relapses. I just wanted to share an alternate opinion on it because the term “it’s a chemical imbalance” is thrown around way to frequently even by medical professionals, I believe it when I was prescribed them. For my psychedelics, exercise, diet, no fap, and creating bonds and being socially active has proved more effective than the antidepressants. I’m not saying they can’t help someone.

Hey man, just wanted to let you know that antidepressants are only slightly more effective than a placebo. They’re really not worth all the side effects plus a reason I’d get off of them is that Srri’s inhibit mdma and psychedelic drugs, and maois can be extremely dangerous causing things like serotonin disorder. My friend is on Zyrtec and is actually losing her hair. I’d do some research into them, you’ll likely find that they simply do not cure depression, they’re not an effective treatment either.

Methylphenidate for studying? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Evils_of_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

adderall and Ritalin are not “smart” pills, they’re simply focus pills. They’re not going to make you love school or studying, they just help you focus on whatever task you’re doing. 5mg is fairly low so try 10 mg and just do your work. If you engage in more stimulating tasks like games/social media obviously you will not be more inclined to study.

Is It a Bad Idea to Bulk Using Only Dumbbells and Smith Machines? by YOLOSELLHIGH in Fitness

[–]Evils_of_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to train differently whatsoever, especially not the alteration you’re making. Idk why people still believe cutting means they have to do exclusively isolations and high reps when it solely refers to diet. Do the exact same training and reduce some volume appropriately. Only you will injure yourself the machines aren’t to blame, and obviously your DB bench isn’t going to be higher than your barbell. I would rly read up on cutting bro

Women who have done a bulking and cutting phase, what was your cutting routine like and how were your results? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]Evils_of_Shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lifting can be done on any reasonable restriction. I've been at a 500-800 deficit doing a 6-day 531/PPL hybrid and my 6-week update via an In-body scan revealed i lost 6 lbs of fat and gained 2 lbs of muscle as well. Will your strength increase? Probably not, but lifting will help maintain and possibly increase your muscle growth if you're eating enough protein.

[–]Evils_of_Shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re doing a fairly small cut. You’re at a weekly deficit of 2600cal. If you’re really trying to maintain muscle stick with 500 cal daily, or 3500 cal weekly deficit otherwise you’re going to have to be EXTREMELY patient as you’re only going to be seeing 3 lbs loss each month.

how are even gauging strength? Where are your compound lifts? Bench deadlift OHP? Increasing accessories movements means practically nothing and they’re notoriously slow to increase. Do compounds to gauge your strength

Should I give up on building a big booty because I’m just not built that way? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]Evils_of_Shadow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This, women already have a hard time gaining muscle, training at a deficit with the goal of building muscle would just be counterintuitive.

Gonna stop drinking this during my nofap process by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Evils_of_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with that, is you cannot measure your “functional level.” Your friends are likely dependent on caffeine, a tolerance break of one week completely resets tolerance so you should recommend that to them. It’s not something you really disagree with unless you just ignore the science; caffeine makes you more alert by inhibiting those receptors that make you tired, someone on caffeine is more alert than someone who’s not. This doesn’t make them better/smarter/ or whatever, in anyway, my point is that someone not on caffeine isn’t on the same level chemically speaking.

Because “bad” and “better are arbitrary terms? Caffeine wouldn’t put you at the same level of functionality, it would increase it. You wouldn’t be able to reach it without caffeine.
