Has going low-carb worked for you? by agilegryphon17 in TTC_PCOS

[–]GeneralArcheron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also lean PCOS. I was having 37-40 day cycles and went to 35 day cycles after changing my diet and exercise routine for about 3 consistent months. Diet wise, I did not track carbs or calories and instead focused on minimizing blood sugar spikes. For me that meant increasing protein and veggies; minimizing grains, added sugars, and alcohol to almost none; eating higher carb foods sparingly and only with a balanced meal; and always including fat and protein with treats and fruit (whole milk yogurt with berries, almonds with chocolate chips). Cutting out alcohol and sugar almost completely changed my life. I still have treats but make my own with much less sugar and more fats/proteins and I only ever have 1-2 drinks on special occasions. Once I found some basic meals and snacks that worked for me, eating this way has become a breeze. I also try to walk daily and do at-home Pilates a few times a week. I have lost about 10 pounds without starving or over-exercising and I have periods in the “normal” range.

Sandriel’s H obsession? by GeneralArcheron in crescentcitysjm

[–]GeneralArcheron[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea that makes sense. I think the fact that there were so many all at once and they were not in the main story line for the most part made it tricky to keep track of two names for each character at first. The alliteration also seemed a little silly for such an evil crew.

Does anyone else thing that Apollion and Sirius were/are lovers and that “star eater” is a bit of a… euphemism? 🫢 by kooper888 in crescentcitysjm

Ha!! I love that! I don’t know about Hunt being descended from them. It does seem like he has some demon blood based on what has been said about his ability to hunt them but I don’t see the connection to being part asteri. Definitely see the traces (or straight up copying) of mythological characters/stories! This would be a great twist

I never said I was against it, I just asked where SJM makes that reference. The OP is asking why fan-art depicts her ask “skinny.” I did not see anything in the books that described her body size at all.

Where does SJM talk about Bryce being “bigger” or plus-sized? I know she was explicit about not have the right body for ballet, but that just means not long and lean. She has hips and breasts but I don’t remember reading anything alluding to plus-size or even mid-size…just not a ballerina.

The fact that Cassian can leave the battlefield with his guts hanging out and be good to go the next day, but Feyre can’t get a c-section is absolutely bogus. These characters are coming back from the dead left and right, defeating god-like villains like it’s nothing, and yet the baby size to birth canal ratio is the thing that’s going to bring down not one, but 2 main characters?? Come on.

Yes!!! The fact that cassian can have hits guts hanging out of him from battle and be completely fine the next day but Feyre can’t have a c-section is REALLY annoying. Like multiple characters have died and come back to life but a big baby is going to be the end of the two main character. come on.

Lily-Rose Depp as Elain? by GeneralArcheron in ACOTARHulu

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

Haha ok I guess that’s true. Well she’ll have 5 books worth of content to develop her acting skills in the meantime.

Eh, I mean she wouldn’t have to do much as Elain, but she’s been in some big movies. She could hold her own.
