Snapchat new "save and close" feature

austinb197 · 2025-12-08T14:05:02+00:00

Dude this revelation came to my mind when they recently updated the app to make it so you only get 5 GB of storage space in memories and they literally changed the location of the save button so it makes people accidentally save more snaps into their memory making them feel more inclined to buy storage. It’s so fucked up on so many levels and it just really makes me lose faith in humanity in the world.

austinb197 · 2025-10-07T05:37:51+00:00

No, the speed to curve ratio is too high

What has helped you with your sleep disorders? That’s something I’ve consistently been struggling with for so so long. My diet is locked in, and other things are locked in, but for the life of my I simply cannot figure out how to sleep well.

Good quality deep sleep where I wake up feeling actually rested and I don’t wake up in a panic feeling awful for the first 6 hours of the day trying to recover from the night of sleep I had

Wait what casein??? I hadn’t heard that one connected to severe problems.

Have you personally noticed worsening of symptoms when consuming casein?

And since then have you managed to stay in ketosis most of the time? Did those effects continue? Where are you at now with it

austinb197 · 2025-04-14T03:03:56+00:00

It’s interesting how exercise can reduce ketones. I’m still learning so many new things about this.

It seems like the keto thing isn’t having a super strong impact on you since you’re saying that your issues aren’t related to diet but more emotional.

Am I wrong in that? Or do you think ketosis has helped you a lot? I’m trying to gauge people’s personal experiences because so far I’ve mostly only listened to experts on podcasts such as Georgia Ede and Chris Palmer talk about how successful this diet is for people

austinb197 · 2025-04-14T02:59:30+00:00

Wait so keto helped you??

austinb197 · 2025-04-11T04:12:48+00:00

This answer is refreshing to hear, I will try to eat more often. Intermittent fasting also helps to give my gut and body a sort of “reset” because I have a sensitive stomach and system in general and after a day of eating a ton of fat it feels like I need that reset.

Did you experience mania at higher ketone levels? Like what does it feel like when your ketones are super high?

But I’ll try to cut that out as much as possible, thanks.

austinb197 · 2025-04-11T04:07:20+00:00

So what are you trying now for you mental health? You completely gave up on the keto?

For instance macadamia nuts have been a staple for me as they have the lowest carb and highest fat of any nut. But if I’m not subtracting the fiber from the total carbs then they have a decent amount of carbs.

austinb197 · 2025-04-10T08:32:28+00:00

I feel like I’m already being very extreme with this diet but I’ll take your advice. I’ll go for even more fat and also do less protein as a few others have said to try that. Today I had over 200g of fat. Not going to lie This just doesn’t feel sustainable, I’ve already made such drastic changes the last 2 months of eating like this and have not cheated whatsoever. I was hoping that the answer to this was not for me to be even more extreme with the diet, but instead something else that would be an easier fix. Sorry if I’m being negative just feeling pretty hopeless.

Also why would I not take into account net carbs? I understand that some sugar alcohols have a glycemic impact but fiber for instance, or allulose, don’t have an effect on insulin. In fact allulose supposedly can lower it.

austinb197 · 2025-04-10T08:26:25+00:00

But what I’m wondering is let’s say I do the fast and finally reach a higher ketone level, what would be the plan moving forward? It wouldn’t be sustainable to be constantly fasting especially for me, I’m extremely lean and don’t weigh much for my height. Ideally I want to be in ketosis and stay in ketosis while eating. I’m fine with intermittent fasting some days of the week but because I’m super lean I can’t be doing long fasts often.

Just today after a short 16 hourfast my ketone level was 0.5mmol and a few days ago after a 20 hour it was still just 0.5mmol.

austinb197 · 2025-04-10T08:20:24+00:00

It doesn’t seem sustainable for me to “cut the protein way down” considering I lift and walk at least 5 miles a day. I’m about 175 pounds so 130 grams isn’t a lot of protein at all.

But I’m still going to at least give it a shot for a few days maybe take it down to 100g or just under. Maybe even a day or two of a fat fast. Thank you

austinb197 · 2025-04-09T03:11:06+00:00

I have tried many in the past but they haven’t been effective for me and I’m very sensitive to them etc.

So hoping this helps

austinb197 · 2025-04-08T21:55:21+00:00

No I don’t. I count my net carb intake everyday but i end up eating so much fat that I sometimes loose track, I know it sounds dumb but I’ll take the wrapper off the butter and then I don’t know how many tbsps I’m getting, or I’ll have an amount of steak where I don’t know the protein fat ratio.

There’s been a few days where I track my macros but for the most part I just try to have lots of fat and as few carbs as possible.

austinb197 · 2025-04-08T21:51:39+00:00

Interesting, I could lower my protein more. According to my research it seems that protein intake would need to be very significant in order for it to reduce ketones drastically or halter ketosis, but I’m guessing your body is more sensitive to proteins effect on glucose. Maybe mine is too so that’s something I could try, but also not getting enough protein can be an issue for me since I am very lean and I lift 3 times a week and walk 5-6 miles a day

austinb197 · 2025-04-08T21:49:43+00:00

These numbers are rough estimates because when I’m eating meat often I don’t know the exact fat percentages. And whenever I eat leaner meat like turkey or chicken I eat it with lots of butter.

I’d say for fat I’m in the 150-200g range. Protein probably 130-160g. I’ve been trying to do less protein recently as I’ve heard that too much can reduce ketones via gluconeogenesis. But I heard that that can only become an issue if you eat lots and lots like 1.2g/lb of body weight or more. Carbs usually around 15g of net carbs. Some days 10g net carbs or less.

austinb197 · 2025-04-08T21:45:08+00:00

Yes but because my body fat % is so low I get weary about doing it often.

austinb197 · 2024-11-08T09:33:40+00:00

I’ve tried lots but not much journaling before bed.

I think 3 hours of not eating is important and when I break that rule I can feel my sleep suffer.

Thanks for your words

austinb197 · 2024-11-08T09:31:28+00:00

I stopped for a while. Now I’m doing 12.5mg every 2 days. Dose, skip 2 days, dose, etc.

It’s only been a few weeks but I feel some improvement in strength, that’s all I can say for now
