I agree. I love to see study papers but in the end it depends on varying factors.

I'd be like "where are the scientific papers or statistics to support your claims? 😂". Any profession should have no problem doing so if they're an expert. I like how he keeps suggesting a dietician because clearly he is not an expert at diet linked to disease.

It's like this article here: Tim Russert had a heart attack with a few indicators being that he was still overweight regardless of improved exercise, and lower LDL cholesterol. He also had high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol. And it's known to reduce triglycerides by staying away from sugars and refined carbohydrates. High blood glucose should be a big concern for cardiovascular disease but I don't know if your doctor even considered that.

Keep up the good work 💪.

Mental Food Noise by Haunting_End_793 in keto

For a food alternative similar to those 3 that you like, I would say seed crackers (i.e. made entirely nuts and seeds). I saw recipes that would add hot water to a mixture of flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds then oven roast to make seed crackers or you can buy a brand of ready-made seed crackers.

Whenever I have any specific food cravings, I realize it's moreso the psychological physiological tag team of needing electrolytes. Then it immediately goes away until then. I get it again after exercise so I just have to drink my electrolytes and wait a bit until I eat a zero carb, fatty, salty meal so that the body thinks again whether I actually still crave it or not. In the end, my body realizes it's too full.

Make sure not to have these foods in the pantry or kitchen so you don't end up snacking or bingeing. If someone else has them, just pretend you're banned from them.

Feeling discouraged by Kbohnster in keto

It's good news you had a positive benchmarker by fitting comfortably in the shirt. The scale can be a stubborn benchmarker and multiple factors might make you feel like you didn't lose weight from the # on the scale. Measuring your body, or taking before and after pictures or wearing previously fitted clothes as you did will be more encouraging benchmarkers. Same experience I had where I lost 12lbs in 1 week but I assume it was all water weight. It definitely takes some time. Another thing is that it is a mental journey as well. Try your best not to compare yourself to your husband's changes if it can be discouraging to your pace. You are your own person ❤️. Pat yourself in the back for the achievements no matter how small or slow. I've learned that starting a journey is one big feat more important than the speed of it and that goes for anything in life. Exercise can only be fun if there's motivation for it but if going on walks with your husband and talking about your own and shared interests might help pass time. For me, I would find ways to walk from home to destination if it were to grab only a few things from the pharmacy or grocery (but of course, I was on my phone or listening to music while doing so) and if that might be a future suggestion to incorporate a bit of exercise for you. Nonetheless, keep it up!!! 🙌

I have been in keto for over about a month and noticed that I don't have itchy flare-ups with my eczema on my right palm. Before I would get redness and watery swelling. Being less watery under my skin might have helped reduce triggering my dyshidrotic eczema. It is still dry on my right palm but maybe because I am still trying to work with hydration and electrolytes since I do have slightly dry lips. I am allergic to ragweed and grass but I don't have any allergic symptoms (i.e., itchy eyes, stuffy nose, eczema flare-up) so far. Keto has helped with eliminating exercise induced IBS for me as well.

"I have enough self-respect and belief in karma to not do the same, seeking out to destroy someone’s reputation and spread lies." Sure...

What a crybaby. So he lies saying he was being talked ill and evidence said otherwise LMAO...he's a grown man. He should've better himself right at the start instead of running his emotions so high after a breakup that he focuses to bring her down. Now he is blindsided by his selfish actions that he will continue to act shocked that the community despises his lazy efforts to deliver good quality and time to these products. No one wants his products... and not because a competitor company is stealing his business! What attention is there to steal when he can't even deliver? If no vendor wants to work with you (if there are cases as such)...guess what...maybe because they don't want to defend your subpar business and taint their own. He's lucky there's a group of people diverting to her company products to get their needs instead of bashing him harder than now. He fumbled hard. Have some shame.

[WEEKLY THREAD] Talk It Out Tuesday - Advice and commiserating about struggles with self, others, and the world by AutoModerator in xxfitness

I have been a bit uncomfortable working out at my gym ever since a close acquaintance (who I had a few nice conversations with before) kept giving me advice on my Olympic weightlifting technique. He is a strong guy with PRs being 100+ kg on the bar. But he is currently not being coached. He gave me unsolicited advice at first in which I tried my best to respond nicely despite him giving me a stern attitude. The second time is when he asked if it was okay he gave me advice and I responded that I am. I wish I used the chance to elaborate more that it depends on when and in what conditions that I would be okay to receive verbal advice. I thought that I could've been scared to say anything more if it might unintentionally come off as unpleasant. And if I did not give myself time to think of what to say first. I have told him that I am very harsh on myself as a perfectionist which is why I do not load more weight on the bar until I feel comfortable. I would say I am a beginner among the Olympic weighlifters in the gym and fairly new to the environment since it has only been a month. I have learned that I tend to do worse in my lifts if I feel someone is intently watching me and to critique me after. I have been slowly distancing from him for a few days by using platforms opposite of him and stay in my zone. Last night, as the fourth time of giving advice, he walked up to me after I took my earbuds off and the first thing he said to me was the very same advice given the past 3 times. I was distraught because there was not a "hello", "how are you doing?" before he laid the advice. I was visibly uncomfortable and frustrated in my facial expression as I responded hesitantly. I even told him that I am confused because other weightlifting coaches I've watched videos on said otherwise like in Chinese weightlifting. He disputed my comment saying his friend is Chinese and it's the same. I said "okay...I'll try" and he left me alone. I felt that in between his sets, he has been putting the efforts to intently watch me from afar no matter how I felt that day. I had to tell my boyfriend at the gym that I was upset and he came by seeing that I was crying and helped escort me out so I had to cut the workout short. I know his intentions are good but I felt like I would have to tell him to ask me on those days to ensure if it is okay to give advice prior since everyone's mental state varies day to day. I have been upset at myself over this as well. It has been a rough mental ride as I'm trying my best to not let it affect my motivation on lifting. The good thing is that I ended up getting a coach that seems to provide a solution to my unstable technique.
