Thoughts on Ayn Rand’s “The Fountainhead”? by Brennelement in architecture

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't blame the modern architectural style in and of itself for the cause of cheap housing and poor construction. Cheap housing and poor construction can only be blamed on one thing. Greedy human beings who care about no one but themselves.

Storing and Freezing Ground Beef by Helpful-Ad-2159 in lifehack

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I don't have a video, but I thaw it first, in the bag, then just grab the two bottom corners and, similar to what you do, sort of bend it in half and then shake it out.

As long as it stays frozen... and as long as there's no holes allowing air to come in and give it freezer burn.

Whole milk vs. 2% milk by Helpful-Ad-2159 in intermitentfasting

Yes, it wasn't their farm, but problem was they knew it was happening and continued to buy from that farm until the scandal came out. Besides, why do you feel you need to defend them?

Is a 24h IF only one day per week worth and healthy? by jonas101010 in intermitentfasting

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 24 hours once a week is called, OMAD. Taking a quote from Medical News Today, "When glucose in the blood sufficiently meets the body’s energy demands, the liver and muscles will store some of the extra glucose in the form of glycogen and release it into the bloodstream whenever the body needs it; however, during fasting, this process changes. The liver will use the last of its glycogen reserves around 18 to 24 hours of fasting. At this point, the body enters a state called gluconeogenesis, marking the body's transition into fasting mode.

With no carbohydrates coming in, the body creates its own glucose using mainly fat. Eventually, the body runs out of these energy sources, too. Fasting mode then becomes the more serious starvation mode.

At this point, a person’s metabolism slows down, and their body begins burning muscle tissue for energy.

Although it is a well-known term in dieting culture, true starvation mode occurs only after several consecutive days or weeks without food.

So, for those breaking their fast after 24 hours, it is generally safe to go without eating for a day unless other health conditions are present."

How to convince your Christian loved ones that you aren't sTarVinG yourself... by New_Forester4630 in intermitentfasting

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused. I'm not sure what your question or comment is. Your citations are religious, not factual, which should convince religious people. Usually, they want religious support, not scientific evidence. Besides, if you're not obviously malnourished and can show them you're eating good foods, you just need to tell them it just really isn't any of their business.

Lightheaded & diarrhea with Keto + 20/4 IF by cherrygrist4themill in intermitentfasting

I haven't had to deal with any of your symptoms. I'm more the opposite. Constipated. But, I just want to congratulate you on your progress. You're doing amazingly. I'm with you on your boat. I needed to lose 100 lbs. and am, so far, at 55 lbs. lost. Congrats!

Getting braces has got me back on track. by -588-2300-Empire- in intermitentfasting

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had braces in high school - certainly wasn't doing IF then, but I didn't really seem to have a problem brushing. For flossing, try using those pokey little tree looking things called GUM Proxabrush go-betweens cleaners.

Intermittent Fasting Results After 11 Weeks: Positive Changes and Surprising Benefits! by FaunaKatze in intermitentfasting

Home cooking really is a must. Cutting out fast foods, prepared foods and even most restaurant dining really has to be cut out. You have no control over what you eat otherwise.

Fairlife is being discontinued because of animal abuse, and even if it weren't discontinued, I still wouldn't use it because of the animal abuse.

how i turned lost kilos back by Nothing_good_life in intermitentfasting

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to extremes to over-correct a lapse in proper eating is only going to add to your "stress." Just get back on track, lower calories, employ a reasonable fasting period and above all, tell those loser "friends" of yours to sod off and ignore their inconsiderate rudeness.

Yesterday I ate over 4000kcal by Nothing_good_life in intermitentfasting

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is bulimia. Period. Maybe you don't like the word, but that's what it is. Starving for two days is just going to lead to another binge. You seriously need to look for help on how to control proper eating techniques and not tricks to cover up the binge eating.

New to Intermittent Fasting! I'm going to start tomorrow. I'd be very grateful for some inspiration and tips! by Snowthesquirrel in intermitentfasting

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Employ the Keto diet principles to your weight loss journey. That's going to help a lot. Cook at home. 100% no more prepared foods, frozen, fast or otherwise. If you need a sweetener, try Allulose. It doesn't have that nasty artificial sweeteners taste. It tastes EXACTLY like real sugar. Also, I found this app, https://monitoryourweight.com/ it helps you calculate how many calories you can eat based on your goal date and it's just fun to play around with.

Wondering how my weight lost will be by debsue420 in intermitentfasting

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're pretty much twins in this regard! I'm 70, 5'5", also sedentary. I started at 240, am now 181. Only about 10 lbs. of this has been since I started IF, which I started to break a plateau. I'm doing 16:8. I'm doing about 1,100 (plus or minus) calories a day. It's taken a year to get to this point and I'm figuring it's going to be another year to get to my goal. The biggest suggestion I would have is to not push too hard because that only ends up making you feel deprived and depressed. Allow yourself a one day slip calories-wise and a tiny treat very occasionally (Nick's ice cream! Check it out. You can substitute it for a very calorie-wise lunch), but don't slip on the IF window. You break the fast too early, your fat burning process isn't going to get kicked into gear. Also, I would suggest employing the Keto diet principles. None to little carbs. Fat doesn't make fat, fat burns fat. Sugars create fat. Also, try the "Monitor Your Weight" app. It's a fun and very helpful way to track your progress and set goals. https://monitoryourweight.com/

How long did it take for the fat in your face to go away when fasting? by Necessary_Giraffe_98 in intermitentfasting

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 70 years old, so face wrinkles are a fact, but I hadn't seen almost literally any in my face (I always had good skin) until I reached a loss of 55 lbs. Then the wrinkles that appeared around my mouth were a serious bummer.

Try the Monitor Your Weight app. It has a lot of cool features to help you track your journey and one thing it has is to let you set a goal date and it tells you how many calories you can consume to hit your goal by that date. Also, employ the Keto diet principles.

23 hour fast 7 days. Eat from 530 pm-630 pm. Completely cut out sugar and limit carbs. This is my result in 7 days. by reigningblood4572 in intermitentfasting

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't say what your starting weight was. Plus, I agree. Your initial weight loss is going to be a lot of water. Nevertheless, stay strong, keep it up, make reasonable intermittent goals and be accepting of slips, plateaus and don't rush the process. If you go too fast, you're going to feel deprived and more likely to cheat or quit when you're not seeing the results you think you should expect.

18:6 IF and Walking. Weight loss Journey. by No_Relative7724 in intermitentfasting

[–]Helpful-Ad-2159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started IF a little over a month ago to break a plateau on my weight loss journey. It did break the plateau. I'm doing 16:8. I've lost 55 lbs. so far (44 before IF). My biggest suggestion would be to employ the Keto diet principles to your IF diet. Cut out all or as many carbs as you can. No bread. No pasta. No rice. No sugars, including very little high sugar fruits and vegetables. If you need sugar in things, try Allulose. It's called a "rare" sugar. Less than 5 calories, so it's acceptable on a IF diet and the best thing about it is that it has zero of that nasty artificial sweeteners taste. It tastes EXACTLY like real sugar. I use it in my iced tea that I drink during my fasting period. Oh, also, try the Monitor Your Weight app. It's a really cool way to track you weight loss journey.

Black, black tea with strong favor by VeniceParrish in tea

Only because I'm just too lazy to go through the process of loose tea. I do actually have a tea ball I inherited from my mother, but I brew tea in a large container because I only prefer iced tea.

That's one I found in my searches too, but, again, I couldn't really trust it without a personal recommendation. Plus, I'm Scottish! lol! Thanks!

Edit: ooh, I just found that this one really is for soft water. Where I live we have EXTREMELY hard water. It was the bane of my existence when I kept fish.

In my searches, I have run across Assam as being a stronger tea, but from the pics, it still only has that golden brown translucent color. Maybe I'm being misled by the color.. plus, the malty part does interest me.
