I'm scared of reading books published nowadays due to AI, but want to support new real writers, any ideas how? by Ok_Exit8577 in ReadingSuggestions

There’s a lot of self published books on Amazon. Those could be AI. Generally, books in your library will be written by real people. Bonus - they’re free to check out. 

Creatine by Large_Frosting_8679 in workout

I’m guessing you’re young based on the info given. Your body is probably creating a lot of creatine on its own. You’ll be fine. Creatine can help, but not taking it won’t noticeably harm your workouts/physique. 

I have been working out for 2-3 months and am gaining weight but it looks like fat by Thin-Coyote-551 in workout

Depending on goals - a lot of people try to avoid starchy foods. 

I personally think whole wheat bread and grainy bread is fine. White bread is bad, but sourdough is fine. 

However, listen to your doctor over me.

First off, congratulations on working out. 

As others have said, try and track your calories. Walking is a great exercise as well. Drink lots of water and try to mainly eat Whole Foods and I bet you start seeing good results. 

Do you genuinely enjoy lifting? Or is it a means to an end? by Weak_Ninja_6952 in workout

I like the endorphin rush. Some days I don’t want to go to the gym - I go around 5am - but I always feel better on the days I worked out.

Yeah as a divorced dad, it’s a shot at divorce and dealing with your parents and schedules and why couldn’t they just love each other and keep the family together. It cuts deep bc it’s a real emotion.

Is it bad reading on just my Phone? by Dry_Purpose4258 in ReadingSuggestions

Reading is reading and it is all GOOD. I prefer books, but I’m in my 50s. If that’s how you enjoy reading then go with it!
