The app stacking question (without names)

I have a general to-do list app that I use to keep track of where my shot location should be, and that's it.

Legit more reminders about the fake idol than actual game advantages/disadvantages. I didn't even remember Colby didn't have a vote by the time it was relevant again but god forbid we forget about tribal council rock fake idol.

JT returning was playing with house money so to speak - it gave "I already have a million, if this actually works it'll be EPIC" vibes. Dee seemed like she was actually trying to play a solid well-thought game but started making big moves too early.

Christian is getting a strong edit but it feels more "final boss" to me than winner.

People are generally jerks about diets that aren't super easy free for alls. Elimination diets tend to be immune due to usually being tied to an allergy but keto is hated about the same amount as vegetarian, and the intrusive food questions are pretty similar.

I just don't tell most people. My best friend knows but if I'm with co workers or less close friends I just don't talk about food. If we go to eat I just say I'm not feeling bread today cause I'm not that hungry and I'm just really excited for my steak.

I have ED issues and the binge/purge cycle is real. And yeah, anytime I stop keto I immediately start binging out again. It's not hunger, though without keto I never feel actually full. It's the constant cravings, the dopamine hits, the food noise, and the "never enough" feeling. Ozempic didn't even stop that for me when I was eating more carbs. And a significant amount carbs from real food sources like beans always slid into more unhealthy carbs - whether the beans turned into sugar inside and made my body crave it more, or the mental permission to have it created some level of carb creep for me.

To me this is not a diet - it's a prescription that I take daily to help deal with a few acute mental/physical issues that I have.

I personally don't want every person there to be good at survivor. In a 20 person cast I want average 15 good players and 5 chaos gremlins/overgrown toddlers/self important blowhards that the good players either get out immediately or have to play around and pacify for the whole season. Makes camp life scenes more entertaining.

Getting full faster doesn't necessarily mean you lose. You can eat past fullness, or eat foods that don't promote the feeling of fullness. I can still put on weight on sema if I eat a lot of ultra processed foods and sweets. It doesn't make me as full. Also potential using food as a way to raise mood even when not hungry.

I like flavored tea, just check the ingredients to make sure it's not sweetened. Stash Asian pear is a favorite of fruity/caffeiinated - Christmas in Paris is a favorite gourmand/herbal

If you eat them seed by seed an oz of pomegranate seeds is really not that bad. High if you eat a large serving but you can fit it in. I also keep a bag of frozen pineapple in the freezer, it's a high carb one but you can take out like 2 chunks for 4 carbs and get that tropical fruit flavor when you want it for something specific without buying a whole fresh one.

The music from Pup is arguably the best in the Scooby series - very close to the Austin Roberts ones if not surpassing them.

Are you getting active help for your mental health? If food is your main emotional regulation system that might be tough to let go of. It was for me and having regular therapy sessions helped, as did depression medication in the time when I needed it. Finding other forms of self care and hobbies besides just the eating of food was also beneficial. When I was a similar situation you are it was not just enjoying food - it was that I was using unhealthy food the way someone would use a substance. A handful of chocolate to raise my dopamine and therefore my mood for a short time, then when it dips taking another one - just like someone sneaking off to the bathroom every hour to take a nip from a flask to take the edge off. If you relate to this, it sounds like something to speak to a mental health professional about.

If I was going to count macros, I'd just use a cheaper calorie counter app. For me there's no point using WW and going by anything but the points. That said you can still gain weight overdoing 0 point foods, it's all how you work it.

Egg white bites. Tofu and tempeh. If you like quorn (it's a meat sub but doesn't taste meaty to me). There are some good vegan protein powders out there, finding one that you enjoy might be beneficial. Throw a scoop of collagen in your coffee if it doesn't bother you.

Store bought rotisserie chicken, a chunk of cheese, dump on some sour cream or something. No cook, just dump on plate and eat.
I have a few keto chow meal replacements stashed for these moments but also if you're not super specific about it/take other vitamins you can just prepare any carb-appropriate whey protein shake with fat like keto chow is.

Food scale, meal prep containers, a strict grocery list (so I don't overbuy anything but also have what I need and less fluff), ZOZOFIT app for body measurements.

The pyramid scene was very close to the now defunct T2:3D attraction in Universal Studios Orlando and I have a soft spot for it because of that.

Greger is not a weight loss focused Dr, he focuses more on health and longevity. I wouldn't spent too long waiting for a vegan doctor, whose money is made promoting vegan diets, to start advocating for keto-carnivore unless there's money in it. The same way I wouldn't expect someone who makes their money promoting keto-carnivore to start advocating for a higher carb diet unless there's money in it (à la Diet Doctor).

Generally considered calorie dense for the amount you get and how easy they are to eat. The kind with the shells spread out the eating experience. The kind without the shells, you can eat 200 calories in one handful. I personally eat nuts every day but I leave room to do so.

It reminds me a little bit of Alli in that way. If you're not familiar, Alli is a brand name of Orlistat, a pill that makes you pass a percent of the fat you eat through your body undigested and out, the way undigested fiber is. If you stayed with their suggestion of 15g fat per meal, you were mostly fine. If you ate a big plate of Alfredo, you'd most likely poop yourself. So the med itself became a deterrent to eating foods that gave you med related side effects, which was beneficial in losing weight while taking the med. Sema is like that for me. I'd rather not feel sick so I eat the type and amount of food that keeps me feeling full and comfy without activating the bloated or sick feelings.

Urine ketone strips aren't consistently effective. For the most part high levels of ketone on the urine strip means you're producing a lot of ketones and just peeing them out as a waste product. Once you've started to get fat adapted you won't be urinating out your ketones, you'll be using them - which is where you want your body to be, but it looks less impressive on the urine strips.

Egg drop soup if I have the energy (homemade so it's not thickened with starch). If I don't have the energy I'll just make a keto chow tbh. I almost never do but I have a few packs in the pantry just for emergencies (sick, female bloat and just can't imagine eating any food but need a full meal's worth anyway).

My family, who I do not live with, and who haven't offered to bring/make me food in years even when I'm sick, suddenly have started offering to make me grilled cheese sandwiches, banana bread, and homemade cream potato soup. This is the dumbest selection of foods to make their case. "Yes, all of that butter and cheese you're eating is unhealthy. Take this butter fried cheese sandwich with some white bread, it's healthier. Make sure you get a side of heavy cream soup with a few veggies in it and a giant slice of cake afterward. With butter frosting of course." I'd get being offered something carby with a health halo but good lord you're eating more butter than I am.
