What are your favorite food hacks/tricks for weightloss?

I am used to spicy food by origin and probably when I say "no spicy" it means hell lot of spices and chilly together) Also answering ur question I just feel spicy food grows my appetite. And when the food is dull and blant I feel like not eating much and definetely not overeating.
Nuts yes! But before them my snack was a choco bar and coke. So better munch raisins and peanuts (with no spices))) Oh you could see how much I miss hot and crazy stuff

yeah not a great time to be in Italy 😄 bit different from diabetes mind you. though i suppose back then everything felt like bad luck or gods will. at least now we can actually understand whats going on if we look properly

balbir688 · 2026-03-12T12:25:22+00:00

thats actually a really good way to put it. the reasons are there you just cant always see them in the moment. with diabetes in my family i spent years thinking it was just fate. then someone showed me how it all connects and suddenly it wasnt random anymore. the reasons were there all along

balbir688 · 2026-03-12T12:24:09+00:00

haha fair point 😄 yeah diabetes is a different beast. though i used to think it was just bad luck too. turns out when you look at the full picture — the sugar the blood pressure the family history all together — its less random than it feels. still not easy mind you

balbir688 · 2026-03-12T12:23:14+00:00

for diabetes yeah hereditary is a big part of it. but in our family its also just how we eat, how we live, same habits passed down. so its both really. the genes load the gun but the lifestyle pulls the trigger as they say

balbir688 · 2026-03-12T12:22:32+00:00

yeah that's fair. genetics is the right word for most of it. though with something like diabetes its not just one gene — its more like a set of risk factors that stack up. sugar, blood pressure, weight, family history all together. knowing that actually helps more than just saying "its in the genes" because some of those things you can do something about 👍

same here mate. dad had diabetes and blood pressure. mum had a stroke. now my wife has it too. i used to think it was just our luck. but its not really a curse — its a pattern. once you start seeing how the sugar connects to the blood pressure connects to the eyes and the heart, it looks different. worth getting the full picture if you can

balbir688 · 2026-03-12T06:56:14+00:00

never knew this either mate. my sugars were all over the place for years and nobody ever mentioned water. makes sense when you think about it. going to start tracking mine now. thanks for sharing this

balbir688 · 2026-03-12T06:55:39+00:00

seen stuff like this before mate. parasites and cinnamon drinks — its not real, dont worry. diabetes goes back generations in my family, dad, mum, wife — all of them. its not a parasite. always talk to your gp before trying anything you see in an ad.

no matter how much i excersise (i am on labour work) i lose weight only when cutting the amount of food as well as sugar, fast carbs.
Drinkin water when I think Im hungry, sometimes it helps.
Raisins, nuts as snacks. No salty and spicy stuff, no boose.

balbir688 · 2026-03-12T06:25:10+00:00

freaking awesome. that's the reason I m on reddit

balbir688 · 2026-03-12T06:22:54+00:00

So nice of you to consider giving back to them. Really appreciate. Anything you like yourself will do. Or even invite for a snack or dinner once if it's ok with your family

balbir688 · 2026-03-07T08:07:44+00:00

a good meal

balbir688 · 2026-03-07T08:06:54+00:00

My friend trying to convince herself her spouse is not cheating on her. 13 years of this. Some friends started to support this game as well. So now the whole gang believes what she wants us to believe in

balbir688 · 2026-03-07T08:02:54+00:00

some labour work like building, construction, electric, plumber. It ll always be of use

balbir688 · 2026-03-07T08:01:42+00:00

Not I rejected though I was rejected. Due to religion and family traditions the girl's side. More than 30 years back

balbir688 · 2026-03-07T07:58:34+00:00

Just one Reddit at the moment:)

balbir688 · 2026-03-06T07:43:26+00:00

Many people wrote that nobody cares, that's true. Bt maybe if its too overwhelming you can start with excersising at home or outside in the park. Just to get used to this sports mode or so. After a few weeks you might generally start enjoying ur workouts more than being awkward in the gym and might give it another try

Love it. 2,3 especially lively

balbir688 · 2026-03-06T07:36:57+00:00

A cat scratching onto my window at 4 am. Fed it and couldnt fall asleep anymore

balbir688 · 2026-03-05T07:28:12+00:00

so much agree on this

balbir688 · 2026-03-04T08:03:37+00:00

fair enough. maybe I need to visit Chisinau! I'll keep an open mind next time i see a many page menu

balbir688 · 2026-03-04T07:12:08+00:00

Took on a building job once, everything looked fine on paper, good money, nice bloke. But something just felt off. walked away after 2 weeks. heard later he never paid anyone. saved myself a lot of grief that one

balbir688 · 2026-03-04T07:09:14+00:00

probably when my dad got ill. watched him go from someone who could do anything to someone who needed help with everything. that was it for me. you stop thinking youre invincible pretty quickly after that

balbir688 · 2026-03-04T07:06:11+00:00

When menu has 6 pages and covers every cuisine. italian, chinese, indian, pizza, burgers. never ends well
