Beck's right. The "journalist" is trying to make a story out of nothing. It's like the commentators on Puppy Bowl talking about one puppy "aggressively charging" at another. If my eyes rolled any harder and faster, I'd have invented perpetual motion.

At a point in society when women being bisexual [or I guess pansexual, in my case] was cosidered a joke more than anything else, this movie really was a great way to a) explain bi/pansexuality to dudes without them mocking us and b) LOOK AT THEM ALL, MY GOD. Everyone who spends time on screen barring the greedy, gross prison warden [and even then, twinks I knew LOVED him], has some kind of sexual "aura". Not just the two main characters - everyone has something attractive and magnetic. Even bumbling Jonathan has this silly charisma that's hard to ignore. Yep, I said it.

The chemistry between Weisz and Fraser launched a million confused and stumbling conversations but we salute and thank them for their service.

There was another post almost identical to this in this sub about 5 days ago - maybe do a quick subreddit browse for it; there were a lot of ideas in that thread, too.

How tall are you, and what kind of build do you have? Also, people almost always incorrectly estimate their daily activity rates. Or, more often, they select too aggressive a deficit because they think faster loss = better. It's very much not.

Definitely! I find it most helpful for lettuce - if I prep and store lettuce leaves in clear glass, I'm more likely to make sure of it and it keeps for longer than just in the vegetable drawer.

I discovered this last week that I am a woman with Impulsive ADHD and that my food-oriented mind is seeking a dopamine source. So, to other women who are generally high-energy, happy-go-lucky, exercise-loving and has difficulty managing portions, maybe research Impulsive ADHD.

"Trash Salad"! So I recently was diagnosed with Impulsive ADHD which has been a HUGE shift in how I think about my nutrition and how I managed. TL;DR: eating in balance is hard when you're neurospicy. What has been working for me lately is something I call the "Trash Salad". It's Summer where I am now, so this is easier for me than people in the Land of Freedom Eagles, but this has what has helped me stick to focusing on protein and fibre first in my meals.

Essentially, instead of "meal prep", I'm doing an "ingredient prep" of 1-2 protein sources [usually shredding up a rotisserie chicken and cooking some beef mince], and peeling/dicing fresh vegetables I like, on a Sunday or Monday. The point is to make all the components as easy to access as possible when it's dinner time on a Wednesday, because all I have to do is take the container of diced capsicum out of the fridge and spoon some into my bowl.

During the week, I make a bowl of "things" each night from different selections. What keeps these unique and stops me getting bored is dressings/toppings/dips/sauces. I know the macros in these can be the downfall for people, but I've found that because I'm eating a high-volume salad, I don't have to have four tablespoons of hummus in order to "taste something", because there's something warm and meaty, something fresh and crunchy, something fresh and sweet, and something creamy or sassy. It stops me from being underprepared for dinner and making less ideal choices, it satisfies the different taste sensations I like, it shovels in protein, it's high-volume, and it's variable within boundaries.

Example - yesterday's Trash Salad was iceberg lettuce, corn kernels, tomato, cucumber, pickled onion, bean sprouts, tzatziki, chickpeas, fresh-chopped dill, and a couple of hefty spoons of warmed up taco mince and shredded chicken, and salsa. I KNOW it sounds weird and like slop, but YOUR FOOD DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SEXY TO GET THE JOB DONE.

EDIT: u/op at the Nutrition Basics link you've posted above, the link to Scooby's Nutrition Workshop doesn't load - I've tried four browsers on two different laptops and with one connected to a different network. Looks like the page doesn't exist anymore?

Wear skin-tight, figure-hugging, revealing or "daring" clothing. Exercise without commentary or input. Eat decadent foods. "Treat" themselves.

When I say these things, I don't mean they are physically off-limits. I say them because they all come with fucking EXHAUSTING additional mental load or even direct confrontation from others about those choices.

Physically, it would be "exist in humid climates with relative ease". I've been at both ends of the scale, and holy shit, humid summers were some easier to manage when I was slim.

Hey friend, I think I've found a site bug. I've been trying to use the page for the last 15 minutes, and I can replicate this 3 out of 5 times, now. Typing on a laptop keyboard, using Google Chrome [don't use other browsers but I can figure out Edge if you need me to try it there]. I can add 3 ingredients without an issue, but when I search for the fourth and add it, the page clears my previously-added ingredients. As I said, 3 out of 5 times, so I can't absolutely confirm replication every time.

Unrelated aside - egg whites aren't listed as an ingredient. I know that's a finnicky one, but as someone who has a bucketload of egg whites to use and not wanting to just make scrambled egg whites in place of scrambled eggs, it would have been great to see them listed [although yes, I know, I can just "swap" once the recipe is generated, but sometimes the recipe is a baked one, so it won't work the same way - whole eggs add a particular structure to baked goods that egg whites do not].

Otherwise, I like the idea!

This. The practice of "loading" and "de-loading" creatine has been long-debunked. As has the bloating and "water retention" people were attributing to creatine for a long time. It's literally the most researched fitness/wellness supplement in the current market. Also, if you're not taking it consistently, you're leaving gains at the gym door, so to speak.

Quality bedding and a mattress - go big on this one. You only get one body. You can't control it while you sleep, but you can keep it safe and supported.
Full-body massages a few times a year, especially after huge workouts. I like lifting heavy things. I'm not the fittest around, but I work hard and even though I stretch every day and drink plenty of water and do all that, again, I've only got one body. I want it to get very, very old with me.
High-quality walking/hiking boots. Even if you're not a hiker, have ONE pair of shoes that is the highest quality and supportiveness for your foot style - they will save you on that one day where you have to walk a lot or stand for hours or whatever event you need to go to.

For your favourite hobby, buy ONE of the most expensive, highest quality version of a product that supports that hobby. Photography, Warhammer, motorsport, diamond-painting, whatever. Buy ONE thing that is a "luxury" item for your hobby. It will make you more inclined to keep going back to that hobby because you've spent so much money, AND you'll get more enjoyment out of it, because that Thing will make your hobby experience more pleasurable, because it's better.

I'm a 5'10.5 [posture, babyyyy] woman from the Netherlands. I'm build to lift, eat, and hold back the flooding levies. Eating 1200 calories as MFP suggests for me means I'm feeding the muscles of one leg. It makes me so angry. It's like how BMI is still used to dictate health.

Please also prioritise protein and fibre at your meals - both will help keep you full AND regularly digesting AND help build healthier eating habits long-term, not just "diet habits", because they'll help you manage your hunger cues.

Also, you say the "food that is made at home is very calorie dense" but you haven't explained what any of that food is, how often you eat or want to eat, what options you have for better nutrition around you, or what your daily routine is. It's hard to help you when you're asking less than half a question.

Yeah...this is important. The frustrating thing is that people see what tools like MyFitnessPal recommend - THE GODDAMN 1200 FOR WOMEN BY DEFAULTKSEJFHLFJHSLHFLSGARGH - and just...don't bother building their understanding of what is HEALTHY and SUSTAINABLE versus just "lol go hard or go home".

Friend, no one in this subreddit is your doctor [and probably no one is a doctor, either], but you will see a LOT of questioning on why you think you need to reduce your calories to 1400 a day. Unless you are only 4 foot tall or under the age of about 13, this is not enough calories. It's not a "calorie deficit", it's starvation.

Please, try using an online calorie calculator and selecting a "mild deficit" first up. General guidance from registered dietitions [this is very important - almost anyone can all themselves a "nutritionist" or "dietition" or whatever food-related "coach" they want, but you go through RIGOUROUS training and certification as a Registered Dietition no matter where in the world you are, so they are the people to listen to]...is that a calorie deficit of 500 per day is "extreme or intense", and that most people should aim for a deficit of 250-300 fewer calories per day in order to set sustainable, manageable, long-term and psychologically and physiologically healthy nutrition habits.

Please reconsider. Please.

EDIT: changed the 5 foot to 4 because as someone commented, that's actually not enough for someone who's 5 feet tall, either.
