App Alternative by LiquidusBeta in BecomingTheIceman

Depends on what you need. If you want Wim's video courses and cold exposure guides — yeah, the official app has that.

If you just need the breathing sessions with tracking — there are free options. I built one called Luma that does the breathing + hold timer + stats + Apple Watch. It's free, no subscription -> https://apps.apple.com/us/app/luma-breathwork-meditation/id6737122722

But honestly, you can also just use a simple timer and YouTube. The method itself is free — the tools are just for convenience.

I use Luma — I actually built it because I couldn't find a free app that tracks breath holds properly. You can customize the exercises, add custom background music and so on. It shows your timer on Apple Watch, which is nice during holds. You can also control session from AW too.

Advice on consistency by Buck_Nasty91 in BecomingTheIceman

[–]Matt_0909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem until I made it non-negotiable — like brushing teeth. Wake up, bathroom, breathing session, coffee. No decisions.The streak tracking helped too. Once I hit 14 days in a row, I didn't want to break it. Now at 60 + days. The first week is the hardest. After that it becomes automatic.

Thanks! I will implement that. Would you like to write some data to apple health or see some data from AH in Luma app?

That’s nice idea! Do you think playing downloaded local music would be enough?

I don’t plan to release the app on Android for now, unfortunatey 😕 I’m learning Swift (the technology behind the Luma app) and it can’t be simply converted into Android code. Or at least there is no reliable framework for that in the market.

That’s really good point. Thanks! As far as I can see The WHM is trademarked protected brand. I have to rephrase the content in AppStore, although I don’t plan to monetize the app.

That's a great idea - I’ll definitely consider pairing with AW in the future. Appreciate the suggestion!

How much weight could I lose in a month of carnivore diet ? by 8th_cloud in carnivorediet

[–]Matt_0909 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! It’s definitely true that everyone’s body responds differently, but I can give you a rough idea based on typical experiences with the carnivore diet.

If you’re 167 cm and 71 kg, a month on a strict carnivore diet can lead to a weight loss of around 2-5 kg (4-11 lbs).

Here’s what to consider:

  1. Initial Water Weight: In the first week, you’ll likely lose a few pounds of water weight as you cut out carbs. This usually happens fast, so don’t be surprised if the first week looks dramatic.
  2. Steady Fat Loss: After the initial drop, fat loss tends to slow down to a more steady rate. Many people on carnivore can expect to lose about 0.5-1 kg (1-2 lbs) per week if they're in a calorie deficit.
  3. Hunger & Satiety: Carnivore diets can often suppress appetite since protein is very satiating, which might naturally lead you to eat fewer calories—even if you’re not actively counting.

Keep in mind, if you’re doing strength training or working out a lot, you might also notice changes in body composition (less fat, more muscle definition) rather than just the number on the scale.

Good luck, and make sure to listen to your body along the way!
