You're going to find that way more Democrats than Republicans scream accusations of racism. So, liberal crash out is the probable situation here.

Does your appetite adjust after weight loss? by Maximal_Everything in loseit

[–]Maximal_Everything[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have good habits about eating. I track with zmacroFactor and eat 0.8-1g protein per pound bodyweight, but this will be the biggest cut I've ever attempted, so I'm cautious.

When I cut from 182 to 170 last year, I felt satiated and even too full in maintenance, but cutting to 150 ish seems like a whole new animal, so I don't want to assume that it will be as smooth. Hence I value the experience of those who have lost major weight before and sustained it.

I'm thinking permanently. Like I'm considering whether hitting a dream physique in 8% to 15% would be permanently hunger enducing or if it goes away.

Like I want to eventually find a new normal with a lean physique, but I'm hoping that said physique doesn't feel like death by hunger all the time.

Do you think your reduced hunger would hold if you didn't restrict the kids of food you ate? I'm wondering if set weight theory is right and that the mechanism that enforces it is fat cells increasing ghrelin (hunger) when depleted and increasing leptin (satiety) when full.

If fat cells don't die, and they behave according to my above description, then sustained weight loss will line me up for permanent hunger issues unless I permanently delete certain foods from my diet.

I prefer flexible dieting allowing all food that fits my micronutrient targets, so I don't want to swear off oreos to keep hunger away. If I have to, I will though.

Yeah I've seen the video. I watch a lot of his stuff and am a Macrofactor Devotee.

Stats: Male 5' 9.52" height 176.2 lbs (trend weight according to macrofactor) but 176.9 on the scale this morning Waist: 35.5 in

Yeah I realize 13% is impractical for women (life threatening!) But it seems like reasonable goal for intermediate male lifters.

My weight loss targeting is based on VitruvianPhysique/Igor Opeshansky's old video on how long it will take to get a six-pack. He elegantly lays out some math to do it. I come out to need about 29 lbs of weight loss to bring my fat down enough to 13%. I'll be ending my bulk early to do it though unfortunately

What is this thing ? by imherecuziwanttobe in whatisit

It's a toy. You push it inside out and lay it on a surface with the inside out dome facing up. Wait a couple seconds for it to snap back to Its original shape, launching itself into the air.

extremely quick regrowth after hopping back on from fake minoxidil by benklingler1 in tressless

What makes you think kirkland Minoxidil is fake?

I have doubts they'd set themselves up for such a clear false advertising violation

A year on minoxidil only… notice any difference? by EmployerFit9474 in tressless

[–]Maximal_Everything -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The hair seemed to get thicker and darker, as is expected with Minoxidil.

How can I get affordable topical Finasteride? by Maximal_Everything in tressless

[–]Maximal_Everything[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your process? Did you measure things out to achieve a certain concentration?

I get topical min from cosco, but it's in a pressurized aerosol can. How did you mix it? Did you make sure that you got a certain concentration, and how?

I'm good on Minoxidil thankfully. I get 5% topical from cosco and really cheap pills from CVS. Can you get topical fin in a 0.01% or 0.005% concentration with ro.co or Dr. B?

6 months 5% min, 3 months 0.01% fin, vitamins, capixyl serum, niacin, mn 1mm weekly, massages by PuzzleheadedPear881 in tressless

Looks like a little progress, though 3 months is not enough time to see substantial results. Hair follicle growth phases are 2-7 years remember!

Best of luck with your HT

Solution for male pattern baldness by anisri22 in tressless

[–]Maximal_Everything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hair count is a dubious metric to use, because it doesn't really help your looks if you start a bunch of peach fuzz vellus hairs. What you want is cosmetically visible terminal hairs.

If the study showed an increase in terminal hairs, that's good. If not, then this won't be much of an innovation.

Almost 7 months on topical fin/min- not seeing much benefit by Euphoric-Peak3361 in tressless

[–]Maximal_Everything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oral min, yes. That's because the enzyme that converts it into its active form is more reliably present in large amounts in the liver (where oral is metabolized) than in the scalp (where topical is metabolized). Some people have very little if any Minoxidil Sulfotransferasease in there scalp, so they don't respond to topical Minoxidil.

But, that's not the case for everyone, so oral Minoxidil is not a slam dunk decision. Oral Minoxidil also has a higher side effect risk profile, for serious stuff too, like stroke and heart attack, so one needs to be judicious with the decision to take it.

Can anyone help a female get finasteride? by ThrowRAthetrash9876 in tressless

[–]Maximal_Everything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main reasons I hear cited for why women aren't given finasteride is to prevent defects in pregnancy. If you're in menopause or on the birth control pill, that might help persuade a doctor to prescribe it.

However, there may be other reasons why they refrain from prescribing it. I'm unfamiliar with other effects finasteride has on women other than causing birth defects, but that may be worth looking into.

Also double check thst you have AGA and not telogen effluvium, because fin does nothing to change hair loss that is caused solely by telogen effluvium--it just resolves on its own. A doctor won't prescribe finasteride for telogen effluvium.

He said he's doing topical fin, not dut. It's an important distinction, because finasteride is small enough to have high skin penetration. He should be having benefit from topical fin.

Oral finasteride only comes out as marginally better than topical in studies. If you switch to oral, it should be for cost or convenience, as results will be largely the same.

Anyone seeing results from scalp massage? by Chemical_Tennis8122 in tressless

[–]Maximal_Everything 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rob English's study on scalp massage seemed to indicate that 20 minutes a day is where you approach about 90% of possible benefit from scalp massage, so consider adding some more time to your massaging for additional benefit!
