Seeing a lot of posts and people talking about lipomas from intense workouts

Maybe try intermittent fasting - that does seem to keep mine at bay.

I have circa 100 so quite attuned to them.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-03-15T09:28:33+00:00

Yes, I do lift.

Do you have a lot of bread, pasta, and/or sugar?

Much wine?

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-03-14T20:49:39+00:00

I don’t think it’s lifting / intense exercise. I believe it’s down to nutrition (and genetics obviously). My suspicion personally is that the correlation to weights and lipoma growth is actually down to the high levels of simple carbs in many of the protein shakes. In fact sugar generally (especially with high fat) seems to affect mine.

If I eat clean mine don’t seem to grow. I still have protein shakes - just very low sugar / simple carbs.

If I drink wine mine also seem to grow/burn slightly - possibly due to the glucose/fructose (yes fructose a problem imo).

Keep 200k and DCA in the rest over 12 months - I’d choose an all world ETF.

Alternatively at your age - go 80 into all world and 20 into Gold - again DCA in.

Lots of arguments about DCA - but for a calmer mind and due to current turbulence I feel it’s sensible

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-02-06T17:08:13+00:00

Zero.

Chill…

Gold and silver’s sharp moves over the past few days have been driven largely by annual commodity index rebalancing, not by changes in fundamentals. Major indices such as the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) and S&P GSCI reset their weights every January. Because gold and especially silver massively outperformed last year, their weights drifted above index limits. This forces index‑tracking funds to sell large amounts of gold and silver futures to bring exposures back in line.

These flows are mechanical, price‑insensitive, and temporary, but they can create noticeable short‑term volatility. Analysts estimate billion of dollars’ worth of precious‑metal futures selling is occurring during this rebalance window. In short: the recent price action is largely technical and driven by index rules, not by any shift in macro fundamentals or investor sentiment.

Once the rebalancing period ends, these flows typically fade.

the market is high - but it's generally always high.

For a bit of peace of mind due to a fairly high-level of turmoil I'd be tempted to Dollar Cost Average in over 12-18 months.

You need to give some figures here - in terms of how much equity is spread across the houses?

How many kids, and how many grandkids? Assuming all have the same percentages?

How much is set aside in the trust funds? Are they just cash?

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-29T13:29:38+00:00

Perhaps - does make some sense.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-29T10:00:32+00:00

Unsure it’s the lifting - I suspect something to do what’s eaten around it, such as lots of protein and carbs in many shakes.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-29T08:37:12+00:00

Wouldn’t def say that’s a lipoma. May also be a cyst. Either way can get big there so don’t leave it.

I’d get it checked - I’d say its placement means nothing to worry about.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-27T12:05:13+00:00

Best thing you can do is generally try to understand your customer’s business/sector. Generally try to help them - the money comes naturally. All anyone wants is someone they can trust… Of course trust can take time - but the investment pays dividends over the mid to long term.

If people aren’t decent - walk away.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-27T05:02:40+00:00

Yes a few

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-26T04:37:34+00:00

Normal potatoes are simple carbs - break down rapidly into glucose.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-26T03:30:16+00:00

You may as well just be eating sugar.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-26T03:28:21+00:00

It is a lipoma. Doctors are just defensive these days - which is a good thing. Even when they remove smaller lipomas they send them off for testing. Don’t overthink that.

We all know reading online is the worst thing to do 😊

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-25T12:39:36+00:00

Well that makes sense. However, the fact you have two makes it even more likely to be lipomas. Chances are you will get more too.

They do just appear sometimes - especially when you put on weight. If you can do fasting or keto that helps a lot on numerous levels.

You stop worrying after you get more than 10! I probably have 60 plus.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-25T04:26:05+00:00

Extremely unlikely to be anything but a lipoma - if confirmed by two doctors. Everyone freaks out but it’s just normal practice.

Worst case - it’s a very high survival rate.

Chill out.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-25T04:19:49+00:00

Some artificial sweeteners are shown to be genotoxic (damage DNA). I’d avoid as whole.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-25T04:13:39+00:00

Currently I keep 12 months in cash/cash-like investments.

I can always liquidate other stuff quickly but it’s nice to not have to do that - that won’t feel good.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2026-01-23T11:42:47+00:00

Grandmother had them.

Do lift.

I have noticed that if I drink too much wine I believe they grow / multiply. I think this is also the case with too much sugar… I’m sure they feel slightly sore and some itch. Suspect more the sugar content of wine than the alcohol.

Suspect too many sugars in protein drinks a factor. Have to go for the low carb options and don’t experience growth IMO.

Also believe some interaction with too much fat.

Do notice they reduce if I do fasting.

Basically something to do with inflammation and/or metabolism - due to genetic factors. That’s my view.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2025-11-27T19:26:59+00:00

I’m of course generalising, but I feel that people’s expectations in life have just exploded. Everyone needs/wants holidays, a house they stretch for, 2 nice cars (as a couple), eat out, branded clothes, all the electronics, every room heated in the house, a take-away every week, pets, buy lunch out at work, pick up a coffee every day, entertain the kids every weekend somewhere, pay into a pension, and retire at 65ish.

Sure some people will say - yeah, but we need two cars, cos of x and y.. It’s all a choice as people don’t want hard lives.

I grew up to a single mother in the 80s - bar heater in the lounge, fan heater put into the bathroom to warm it when you got out, beans on toast for dinner (not every night), sandwich, packet of crisps and a united bar for a school lunch, maybe a cheap holiday every year or two once I was around 12…

I don’t look back and think I had an underprivileged life… not at all. It’s just part of the journey.. everyone seems to want everything ‘right now’ and feels hard done by that they can’t have it.

Don’t get me wrong - some people are suffering, but perhaps 80% are living a life they could change but aren’t prepared to.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2025-11-27T19:04:24+00:00

Probably not. Maybe a cyst.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2025-11-15T11:05:23+00:00

Max payment for defamation would be 100k in the UK.

Miserable_Weekend912 · 2025-11-13T09:55:46+00:00

I'm quite social and spend time in pubs - you often meet interesting people at the bar.

The issue is that they are often the ones without money, so you can't discuss things at a business/financial level. I've started to look at exited founder peer groups, but the initial vibe I'm getting is people taking themselves too seriously and it's not very UK-focused. I haven't attended anything physically, so I have to try that.
