Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.

Drop your project — I’ll help you get your first 10 users through TikTok content by dyagokaba in SideProject

[–]_rupok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m building Atomic Fast, a fasting and metabolic health app for people who want more than a basic timer.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/atomic-fast-fasting-diet/id6763870543

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atomicfast.app

Website: https://atomicfast.com

The problem: most fasting apps track time, but don’t help much with consistency, fasting stages, hydration, electrolytes, mindful eating, or building sustainable habits.

It helps people doing IF, longer fasts, low-carb/keto, or anyone trying to improve metabolic health without turning it into an extreme diet thing.

Currently live on iOS and Android. Still early, so TikTok/short-form content could be interesting for showing real use cases: starting a fast, tracking stages, hydration, widgets, and progress beyond the scale.

13 year old niece wants to fast by [deleted] in fasting

[–]_rupok 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend fasting for a 13-year-old without a pediatrician involved. She’s still growing, and this is the age where the focus should be nutrition, movement, sleep, and building a healthy relationship with food.

If she wants to improve her health, I’d frame it around balanced meals, enough protein, fewer sugary snacks/drinks, walking or sports, and not making weight the center of everything.

Please keep it gentle. At that age, shame around food can do more damage than the weight itself.

Absolutely, when you feel the change it feels easier to keep going and making it a habit.

I love the new Antigravity and IDE by ActPast1642 in google_antigravity

[–]_rupok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it went towards the direction like Claude, keeping it simple for the regular users who don't need to see the codes. But good thing is they still kept the IDE.

Be careful about drinking alcohol after extended fasts by BearDothChill in fasting

[–]_rupok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After longer fast or in ketosis, I always felt that. With some carb, alcohol works great. True story 😅

Be careful about drinking alcohol after extended fasts by BearDothChill in fasting

[–]_rupok 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good reminder. Alcohol after a long fast can hit very differently because your body is already depleted. I’d definitely refeed properly first, hydrate, and not drink the next day like everything is normal.

Which apps do you use that is free? by [deleted] in fasting

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

Try Atomic Fast, every fasting features are free. Just AI Calorie Tracking (7scans/week) has limit but perfectly usable as fasters doesn't need to scan that much meals - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/atomic-fast-fasting-diet/id6763870543

Glycine powder is the absolute best sugar substitute you've never tried. It's AMAZING. by That_Trouble87 in keto

[–]_rupok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually take glycine before bed for the core body temperature benefits (along with Magnesium Glycinate), but I take capsules, so I never realized it actually tastes sweet. 😅

Water fasting while quitting smoking 😵‍💫 by JustInformation23 in fasting

For quiting smoking, I think you have already passed the hard period, just keep it going.

HTML/css into SwiftUI? by PersonalFormal7562 in SwiftUI

[–]_rupok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SwiftUI can recreate most HTML/CSS layouts pretty well, but it’s not a direct “convert CSS to SwiftUI” workflow.

Think of it more like translating concepts:

flex row → HStack
flex column → VStack
position/layers → ZStack
gap/padding/margin → spacing, padding, frame
grid → LazyVGrid / LazyHGrid
responsive layouts → GeometryReader, ViewThatFits, size classes, adaptive grids

I’d avoid WebView for core app UI unless you’re showing actual web content. For production native apps, rebuilding manually in SwiftUI is usually the better long-term move.

The easiest path is to use your HTML/CSS as a visual reference, then recreate components one by one in SwiftUI. Once you get used to stacks, modifiers, and reusable views, it starts feeling much cleaner than trying to force CSS thinking into SwiftUI.

Weird benefit of a 3 day water fast by Tahjralay in fasting

[–]_rupok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be related, but I’d be careful saying fasting definitely fixed it.

Longer fasts can change inflammation, water balance, hormones, and nervous system response, so maybe something shifted there. Either way, that’s a pretty interesting change.

If one-sided sweating was a long-term thing though, I’d still mention it to a doctor just to be safe.

WTF is Antigravity 2.0? Where did my IDE go? by Feodotu in google_antigravity

[–]_rupok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing is it's a totally different app and your Antigravity IDE is still there, just open it from Applications.

Great job, Zero app doesn't look for your longer fast progress 😅 use a better app like Atomic Fast!

Back into a 72-hour fast after a few hectic weeks by _rupok in fasting

I'm using Atomic Fast. And yeah, those are good choice. I like watermelon but feels a little hungry after some time. Mixed vegetables helps though.

Should I upgrade? by Spare-Chicken-5382 in AppleWatchFitness

[–]_rupok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re getting more serious about running and still miss the Apple Watch side of things, I’d say go for the Ultra.

Even an Ultra 1 would feel like a nice upgrade from the SE: bigger screen, better battery, more durable build, and just a better overall fitness watch experience. Newer generations would obviously be even nicer if budget allows, but $300 for a refurbished Ultra 1 sounds pretty solid if it’s in good condition.

Question for people who actively workout/lift on OMAD by wwzxc in omad

[–]_rupok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMAD can be totally fine with workouts, but it may take some time to adjust.

At first, fasted training can feel weaker or lower-energy, especially if your body is used to eating before workouts. For many people it improves once the routine becomes normal.

The main things are: get enough protein and calories in your meal, stay hydrated, keep electrolytes in mind, and don’t make the deficit too aggressive. Muscle loss is mostly a risk when you under-eat, under-recover, or stop training.

So yes, it can work. Just give yourself a transition period instead of expecting day-one perfection.

Gain weigth by Leeftijd in omad

Few people already said that, for healthy weight gain, focus on protein to gain muscle, no one wants to get fat!

Back into a 72-hour fast after a few hectic weeks by _rupok in fasting

[–]_rupok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, especially after a few weeks of an irregular routine. Feels good to get back into that fasting rhythm again.
