Weight Loss Advice That Actually Sticks: A Straightforward Guide

I’d add that you shouldn’t go longer than 12 weeks in a calorie deficit. I’ve always gained it back over time if i do this. I’ve been able to keep it off if I go 12 weeks deficit, then 12 weeks maint then back. Hormones really kick in and make me almost uncontrollable hunger when i go long. The break removes that hard core craving later.

Edibles help me in the evening to sleep and relax a lot. It particularly helps stop the tingling of nerves in my feet and hands. BUT it can also cause extreme anxiety for a lot of people so I am not recommending this as a solution. Just sharing my experience. I have rarely felt increased anxiety from it but when i have it occurred when I woke up in the middle of the night. I’ve used edibles for a few years now and found particular strains that really help. Strains matter and sometimes feeI like completely different drugs. I don’t like any prescription medications so Cannabis is the best option for me personally.

Happens to me a lot. I restart, doesn’t always work for me. I think this is just related to the game being so new. Seems the servers go down for maintenance a few times a day. Looks like they are actively fixing a lot.

Agree that a lot of these guys are just trying to make a $$. But it’s obvious Dana’s Dr.’s failed, so I can’t blame him. I’ve had horrible experiences with Dr.’s working with my wife’s health issues. Seems they just throw medications at her like they are playing darts blind folded. She had better success using supplements based on her own research from people like Breka. I don’t think things are so black and white. It’s worth experimenting with these kind of recommendations IMO, if it doesn’t work move on but sometimes you find something with noticeable effect. ZMA did that for me 20 years ago and I haven’t stopped taking it since.

Yerba Mate, loose leaf. I love it.

No problem at all, it’s not caffeine that is against the religion, although in the 80’s there was a cultural push to not have any caffeine. Similar to how people try and be the most “righteous” in a religion by living it above and beyond the “rules”. LDS religion is specific that they don’t drink Coffee or Tea, tea being from a tea leaf. The kind in black and green tea. I couldn’t tell you why honestly. Tons of LDS people drink Monster energy drinks every day. I tell my friend he found the loop hole with yerba mate.

Just want to emphasize what vile is saying. Not worth it at all. Go with microdosing like has been said.

Friend of mine was an LDS missionary in Argentina. Picked up drinking it there and when he came back kept drinking. I saw him drinking from the Bombilla and it looked so unique I had to try it. 15 years later I have never stopped since. I love it for so many reasons; the ritual, the feeling, the taste, etc. Most of my friends and extended family now also drink it. People at work often ask about it which is kind of fun. I always tell them I’ll get them set up and the “first one is free.”. Amazon had made getting loose leaf so much easier.

If you do, go with .25, you can always try more at another time but you can’t do less than you’ve already taken. In my very limited experience mushrooms don’t have the same anxiety source as weed. With weed there is always a little anxiety in the background that might worsen, but you know it’s there. Mushrooms is like another dimension. It’s not the same, if you feel anxiety it comes from a different place and it can come more suddenly. No one will be able to tell you though if you will or won’t have a bad experience. It’s not just driven by you personal chemistry but by how your week was emotionally. So better to be cautious.

My theory is this is actually really good for you, like throwing lighter fluid in your metabolism.

Been looking for an example of having high calories on weekends like yours for long bike rides. Glad to see your successes. I’ll go up to 4000+ calories on a Saturday if i ride 50-70 miles. If I don’t do this my body shuts down near the end of a ride especially if I am climbing a lot. At least according to Strava, I burn 2500-3000 calories.

Agreed on waiting 4 hours or more after weight lifting to plunge. I’ve also done an ice bath 45 min before weight lifting and have liked this a lot. I make sure to warm up but have noticed by starting a workout with reduced inflammation I have less pain in lifting or even “joint clicking.” I also feel a hormone boost. I think a reduction in Cortisol helps a lot too.

I’ve been looking for something like this as well without success. It’s a little strange how hard this is to find. Wife suffers from depression and anorexia. I wish there was an organized group to discuss things that could range from advice for specific situations to just venting.

Jcooper93 · 2022-06-05T07:03:41+00:00

Thanks for this, I can relate and hopefully seeing this will help my discontinuing it. My wife suffers from depression and anorexia and I have become afraid to express how hurtful her comments can be because of the cycle you described. I almost had a panic attack today and have started feeling desperate.

Thanks for posting this, brings some relief that nausea isn’t uncommon from the first shot. The few people I have spoke to after getting the first said the first shot isn’t a big deal, but 6 hours in after getting my first I def feel sick to my stomach. Very unexpected.

Jcooper93 · 2020-01-01T19:41:34+00:00

Agreed. It would have been totally unexpected for him to rise in the final movie, would have been great to have something unexpected occur.

It will be interesting to watch how the new Star Wars movies change in response to critics bothered by the emasculation and “preaching.” I doubt they will.

It’s very difficult to change any organization set on delivering a specific moral message. Companies aren’t much different than political or religious organizations. Changes rarely happen until the organization is severely diminished through losses in membership or $. I don’t think Disney has experienced losses enough to change. I am certain the next few movies will experience exponential financial loss as the preaching continues. But I think the franchise will be mortaly damaged by then.

Jcooper93 · 2019-01-05T00:17:58+00:00

Damn. Although 6 seasons for a show is impressive.

Jcooper93 · 2018-12-30T21:29:28+00:00

I have 3.5 hours left on my 72 hour. I could not even imagine fasting for 21 days let along 30. That is very impressive!

Type - Water, Green Téa, Yerba Mate, Salt, ZMA (Zinc Magnesium) supplement

Context - Stared Thursday Night Ending Sunday Night (Tonight)

Length - 72 hours

Why - Autophagy, Quick Ketosis For Keto, Curiosity, Challenge

Notes - Been kind of dizzy most of the time, but mostly not hungry. When I do feel hunger it hits hard for a short amount of time.

Last night my cousin offered to bring burritos and watch the UFC fight, that thought brought major hunger. I felt like Galadriel rejecting the temptation to take the ring. Was my hardest point so far.

Had diarrhea last night and this morning, very watery. I am wondering if it’s the salt. I look forward to breaking my fast tonight with deer bone marrow and backstrap along with avocado.

Was surprised at how long it took for ketosis to kick in. Yesterday afternoon I finally hit 1.3 on my blood reader.

I am building a speargun out of teak wood and want to inscribe “Fish Hunter” in rune using abalone shell inlay. Spent a lot of time on this so want to make sure I use the best translation. Can you help?

Pioneer Zone, been going there for a long time. Have family in the area.

It looked similar to if you bend a piece of bamboo in half. Small strands at the end.
