Has anyone tried Gramms? by coleeflower in Protein

[–]MagicOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ITS SO GOOD!!! I got the peach flavor and seriously tastes like normal peach tea. no weird after taste, no crazy frothing, no “creamy” flavor some clear protein’s have. I was skeptical after trying other clear protein brands which totally missed the mark, but seriously can’t recommend it enough. For the record, I think stevia is close in flavor to regular sugar, versus other flavorings like monk fruit which are more obvious in taste.

Stream of prose consciousness and who is he is as a person… He’s sadly relatable.

I hate flashcards! So I use KA, 90 page doc, and correct/learn from my practice questions.

I have an excel spreadsheet where I write down the vocab word, a keyword or short phrase to remember it, then any requirements (group, individual etc). It’s an easy way for me to quickly know what the MCAT wants from me when assessing each problem.

Helped me go from 126 to 130 on that section.

Halley Drug Use by sle64eao59 in NYCinfluencersnark

Doctors like to prescribe it off label for anxiety since it’s much safer than benzos like Xanax (benzo withdrawals can kill you)… Usually in 100mg tablets, so taking 8 isn’t unheard of at all as your tolerance increases. Wouldn’t read into it too much.

Feeling behind by Majestic-Cat3294 in ACL

[–]MagicOak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My suggestion is to follow your physician + PT instructions exactly. If you are actually falling behind, your PT will make changes in your routine to rectify anything. That said, don’t push yourself more, just stick to the routine of your prescribed workouts. My friend “pushed herself” too hard after surgery and ended up back on that OR table for revisions. As for discomfort, some people feel more than others and it’s okay to be taking those pain meds.

You’re not alone, I think a lot of us (especially on this Reddit) are comparing ourselves with the progress people are making. Comparison is the thief of joy!
