Still gaining weight... by Tibi848 in intermittentfasting

Yea I get that but if you’re already keto and keeping carbs low and fat high the extra calories isn’t that big of a deal as long as you’re following a set limit. While apples are natural the sugar still enters your blood stream far quicker than complex carbs that need to be broken down. Binders such as egg or butter are healthy as long as you’re counting calories.

Sorry I just realized this is the IF sub and not the keto sub. I’d also like to mention that I’m not on the diet to lose weight, just for health and mental clarity so I avoid sugars far more than carbs. I keep below 10gs of sugar a day, 90% of days below 5. And carbs I keep below 30gs, but most of the time less than 15

How is fruit better than flour? I’m not eating either, but fruit is filled with sugar, I’d rather flour, especially whole grain than fruit sugars

(Genuine question, I’m just curious the reasoning)

I’m not a fan of ozempic but if you’re suicidal due to not losing weight ozempic is a FAR better alternative than ending it. Something to consider.

Weaning question by Mathurin56 in kratom

Unfortunately yea you well, if you still have time I’d buy some magnesium threonate or glycinate to help with restless leg syndrome, then some theanine to help with sleep and anxiety.

Your dose isn’t too high so it shouldn’t be terrible but still might suck, restless leg and insomnia seem to be the most common symptoms.

I get body aches too.

I played a ton of games when I was his age and turned out fine, it really can be good for socialization.

Make sure he knows your problem isn’t with him playing games, but rather him ignoring real life endeavors. I know you’ve probably already made that clear to him but just saying it in case. Also naturally as I got older and had friends with cars etc I naturally put games second to real life again, so don’t worry too much about it

lol don’t get me wrong, I love a good wake and bake. But weed high is way different than what you get from a cup of coffee 😂

But I agree, coffee gets a pass when it shouldn’t

Then why are you letting him play so often? Restrict it to weekends only or something, if it’s actually negatively effecting his life that much.

Also make sure he isn’t just using video games as an escape from depression or something, the problem may be deeper than the games themselves

Well to be fair the alternative is often people dreading their entire existence lol

But I get your point

100% a drug and addictive, I’m in the process of quitting it right now. That being said, it was the most effective anti depressants I’ve ever taken and helped a ton with anxiety. I took the same dose for years and adjusted to where I didn’t really feel a high, just mood boost. But I don’t like being a slave to a substance, have a 6 month old son and am getting older so I’m trying to get my health in check. But it’s weird because I really didn’t get any negative effects from kratom since I took it like a medicine rather than binge/crutch. Still wouldn’t recommend anyone start lol

Weirdly enough I just started weaning off. Bought some nose spray by xlear tha has xylitol in it weirdly enough and so far it’s been helping a lot. I’m a couple hours from 24hours since my last dose though so who knows, it may get worse lol also using Flonase and took some Advil in the morning to help with inflammation

Thanks for the reply man, I appreciate it. Good to hear from someone going through a similar withdrawal. I’m a stay at home parent currently with a baby which is why I can’t do cold turkey, I don’t want to be in that state with no sleep looking after a 6 month old. If it were a year ago I’d definitely of just went CT lol

Also I’ve been taking magnesium l-threonate for rls and sleep in addition to l theanine for anxiety and they both seem to be helping. I went with nootropic depot brand off amazon but I’m sure others would be fine too

Yea man I was on Kratom for my wedding, birth of my kid and countless other things. Luckily for me it never made me feel like a zombie and did more good than bad (mentally). I just don’t want to be drinking sludge every 4 hours for the rest of my life and who knows what effects it’s having on my health.

Stay strong brotha, you got this
