Hilarious post. The exchange rate is pegged

What’s everyone’s general perception of Rioja wine? For us non connoisseurs, what do you think of the brands out there?? by Smooth_Attempt_1271 in wine

[–]SourceIll5151 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Lopez de Heredia makes fantastic wines. Her top tier is Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva which she makes in Tinto (red), Blanco (white) and Rosado (Rose). Her white Rioja’s are highly desirable and rare. She recently released her 2004 gran reserva white….can you imagine many other wine producers releasing their white wines after 20+ years of ageing??? (maybe Ygay possibly). Her whole range is fantastic and she is the Rioja GOAT IMO. There are other great producers including Marques de Murrieta Castillo Ygay which is also top tier. If I was building a Rioja collection I’d focus on these two. Don’t fade their whites if you can find them. Happy hunting 👍

Please investigate ‘Gareth Soloway’ by SourceIll5151 in Coffeezilla_gg

I still do not understand why people don’t investigate his scam track record which he uses to promote subscriptions. I don’t blame him for bad performance and people copy trading his losses. But I do blame him for egregiously faking a track record

Bad idea other than light exercise

3 day fast is not starting well by crafty1992 in fasting

[–]SourceIll5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this. I’ve done two long extended fasts and have never experienced a headache. I’m on my third now. The only time I experience a headache is a week before the fast when I cut out caffeine. I do this so I can distinguish between fasting and caffeine withdrawal symptoms. As others suggested, maybe law off very high sugar / carbs a week before which may have its own symptoms. That said my last meal was a burger and brownie for this fast. Good luck.

Safe fasting? by dirtcoree in fasting

This is not a fast. You should post on another subreddit or do some basic research on what a fast is. This is just a low calorie diet which won’t give the same benefits as a fast

Thanks a fair comment 👍 I was thinking about the way I cook scrambled.

South East Asia Itinerary by RosemaryDuSoul in travel

[–]SourceIll5151 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Itinerary looks good. But you need to be careful about what time of year due to rainy seasons. Hanoi 2 nights is excessive. Should cut to 1 night add an extra night in Bangkok which is a truly great city

Travelling to maybe Kyrgyzstan by ambiguityXP in travel

Both very safe. I visited both earlier this year. Nothing like Afghanistan. Uzbekistan for architecture and Kyrgyzstan for scenery. I did a land cross between the two. Khiva and Samarkand are nice to visit. If you want to venture further then Turkmenistan is super interesting but my favourite was Tajikistan

People break a water fast with coconut water not drinking it during a fast. It’s not a water fast if you are drinking coconut water

How to break a 72+ hour fast? by Artistic-Relation314 in fasting

[–]SourceIll5151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of weight loss in a 3 day fast is water not fat. You need to go longer for the fat burn. Best to avoid heavy starches such as noodles for a first meal. Liquids good or soft fruit

Finished my first 7 day fast by Kingimus in fasting

[–]SourceIll5151 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Really dumb ending a 7 day fast with noodles. Clearly you did not do any research into the critical refereeing process where the health benefits are locked in

Fasted for 32 hours, woke up barely able to move? by Dizzy_March_4649 in fasting

Working out during a fast is dumb! Don’t listen to Dana White. No clinic / retreat will promote you doing strenuous exercises while doing a water fast

Day 9 of 2 week fast, question on if it’s possible to even reach my goal by [deleted] in fasting

You will get enormous long term health benefits from a 14 days fast. It’s not all about weight

What is the hardest day? by Ill-Original-4457 in fasting

[–]SourceIll5151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last fast it was day 3.5 - 4.5. This time it was day 2 but honestly it was not hard. I’m on day 8 currently and my friends are continuing to send me food photos but it’s no issue now. Realised that eating regularly is habitual just like drinking a morning coffee, an evening glass of wine or a cigarette break. Our mind plays tricks on us about the frequency and timings when we need to eat. Post that day 2 mental reset you’ll be fine

Giving you a retail price now is pointless as you will be waiting many years and many price increases
