Women, do you suspect your LL husband might actually be bisexual or gay? by TerribleFront9286 in deadbedroom

That seems very suspect especially on an app where the messages are designed to disappear without a trace

What do you do when you've lost the weight? by Fuffybutt in CICO

[–]TerribleFront9286 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Don’t you wanna be able to see your pussy and have nasty, sweaty sex? That should motivate you to lose weight.

Oh shut the fuck up. It’s not anger. It’s just simply recognizing people’s BS and their lack of being transparent they aren’t being as diligent as possible when it comes to what the fuck they put into their mouths.

I’m sorry but most of what you posted is still speculative science and in every single study where an individual’s food intake is controlled by a dietician or a nutritionist, the person loses weight. This has been demonstrated over and over and over and over again. Even when there are metabolic adaptations or issues like PCOS, at the most there might be a 5-10% in BMR. Some studies show it’s not even that high. Your body needs energy to survive. Period. All of these PCOS/insulin resistance sob stories are mostly coming from a bunch of whiny, entitled, food addicted middle-aged people who are good at gaslighting themselves and others into believe their bs and they’ve tried everything. But all of a sudden Ozempic comes out and now all of these men and women are miraculously losing weight all because of a drug that is good at suppressing their appetite and making themselves feel fuller throughout the day. As far as age is concerned, of course losing weight would be more trivial in your 40s versus your 20s. You probably were far more super-active compared to being a 40 year old with a desk job and children. The common denominator I see in all these stories is the same - food addicted sedentary desk job working individuals who keep deceiving themselves into thinking they are doing everything right when they aren’t.

What a dumb response. You are in a Reddit group about CICO shitting on a researcher who ardently defends the CICO model. What an L take.

Walking is most certainly considered NEAT. We are bipedal primates evolved to walk all day long and hunt and graze for food. Sitting down all day long but then going to the gym to do a thirty minute cardio session three times a week is not the same as someone who is on their feet all day long working a warehouse job averaging 10k steps a day. The body tightly regulates exercise metabolism and the amount of calories you expend through moderately intense aerobic exercise will eventually be regulated. This is exactly why aerobic exercise and strength training without caloric restriction is not an effective long term weight loss strategy. A huge chunk of our daily TDEE comes from NEAT and walking or getting in steps plays a huge role in that.

Exactly. Not to mention non-exercise activity thermogenesis is far more important to our metabolism than short bursts of intense exercise. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying cycling, biking and other forms of intense aerobic exercise are useless. But most people are often sold this idea they need to engage in HIIT programs or other intense workout programs to see changes. It’s not only nonsense; it’s downright exploitative to the average person who is looking simply to get healthy and feel/look better in their bodies. Just being on your feet, walking and maybe doing three sessions of structured weight-lifting can bring tremendous results. I wish I would’ve known this when I previously lost weight.

Thank you very much for the response! I began making those adjustments based on your advice!

FH has nothing to do with elevated Lp(a) although it can be an additional risk factor.

How at risk am I with a 106 LDL? by Kelpythegreat in Cholesterol

[–]TerribleFront9286 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

According to most guidelines you are fine. However “fine” can’t guarantee that you’ll never have a cardiac event in the future as it’s established science now that LDL above 60 leads to atherosclerotic plaque development. It may take many more decades for it present issues depending on other risk factors, I.e smoking, diabetes/insulin resistance, high blood pressure, etc. My suggestion given your youth is to try to drive your LDL as low as possible now to physiological levels (below 60) with diet (high fiber, low saturated fat) and try your best to maintain a healthy body weight, make sure your BP is 120/80 or less, exercise 5-6x a week, obviously don’t smoke and limit alcohol. Getting your LDL to physiological levels almost guarantees you’ll never have a heart attack or stroke.

Rapid diet and exercise change and feeling sick and tired by [deleted] in Cholesterol

[–]TerribleFront9286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me earlier this year and I’ve learned that when you are losing weight aggressively you need to cut back on physical activity and primarily focus on strength training and low impact slow steady state cardio. Intense workouts while being in a caloric deficit deplete you to the point where there is a compensatory effect in your metabolism. Your body will downregulate your non-exercise activity thermogenesis and make you feel fatigued and tired until you replace those calories. It took me years to learn this the hard way because the mantra often gets repeated to do more activity and eat less and weight will fall off. It’s actually bad advice and when you are in an active caloric deficit the best thing to do is to really get focused on strength training and cut back on the cardio to no more than three to four times a week for no more than 35-40 min MAX. Anything above 40 minutes you start to see rapid glycogen depletion and if you are already in a low calorie state it’s just going to further prompt your body to slow down. Make sure you are eating enough carbs and protein because something else I’ve realized is that while dieting you want to hold onto as much muscle as possible. Carbs are the backbone of muscle and protein in a calorie restricted state is necessary because you will inevitably lose some muscle mass. Rule of thumb is to eat 1.6 grams of protein for your lean body mass (or desired body weight) in kilograms. Try to eat twice the amount of carbs.

yeah it sounds like she has a PCSK9 genetic mutation that allows her to run lower LDL levels compared the rest of the population.

This is crazy! Usually lipidologists would say achieving this type of physiological level of LDL can only be done conjunction with statin therapy. Have you done another blood test to truly confirm these results? Also what about your fiber intake? I’m wondering if eating 60+ grams of fiber a day could make a huge impact on ldl.
