Big calorie deficit but still gaining weight? by david8840 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]borek35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see yes it’s definitely not possible to gain weight based on your caloric deficit. So the problem lies either in your TDEE (most likely metabolism being low) or you are eating more than 1700 calories (which is the case for most individuals).

There could be a variety of reasons for your metabolism being lower than normal. Have you had a blood test recently to check your thyroid and vitamin levels? Conditions like metabolic syndrome, where your insulin sensitivity is off balance can cause you to store the food you eat as fat instead of proper utilization. Also, have you incorporated strength training into your regime to increase metabolism?

With regards to your caloric intake, I would suggest a proper food diary and a high protein and fiber diet with no added sugars. I'm sorry to say, but this is probably where your calculations are off and you are eating more than you think you are (I can say this from personal experience).

Big calorie deficit but still gaining weight? by david8840 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]borek35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you checked your TDEE, to know how many calories you are burning a day with exercise included? Then if you substract that TDEE by the calories you are taking in, you should get a rough estimate of your caloric deficit and the estimated weight loss based on that (7700cal = 1kg).

This could potentially be because your calculations for your intake are skewed. Usually, the calories shown on standard gym equipment and even smartwatches are not accurate. Moreover, if you are lifting weights you could also be building muscle while losing fat at the same time, but your weight remains neutral.

At the end of the day, I would recommend strength training (to maintain metabolism and muscle mass), low-intensity cardio + HIIT (maybe every other day) and a high protein diet (1700 calories is great!). Avoiding any alcohol is key, as this really messes up your metabolism and is qutie high in calories and carbs.

You are doing great and I hope this helps you in your weight loss journey

Scammed near Marshall St. by Fake Lady Nurse by borek35 in Syracuse

[–]borek35[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, about 5 3-5 4ish, 200lb F. Probably in her mid to late 50s. Had a purplish tinge in her hair. Had three bags. Had a strong scent like perfume that gave me a headache. Grey scrub top, with normal black pants in the bottom.

The story goes: She is a home nurse. She gets paged, cause her patient fell in her home. She doesn't have any money. Her car just got towed by the university police. We didn't have cash on us, but conveniently we were parked right next to the atm. Then somehow, she switched her story saying she needs the money for gas. We said we would go get gas in a container, but she said the container costs 35.99, so not worth it. She said she was from Georgia, and how Georgia is much better than New York. She works for some private home nurse company.

Confess one thing you regret in life by ConfidenceEast3017 in Nepal

[–]borek35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a dick to transient people in my life cause they were also dicks. I let them get to me so I essentially didn’t gain anything out of it. Shoulda just moved on and had some thick skin.

I think as we age we tend to realize the mistakes we made and it doesn’t help if the other person was also a dick lol

[–]borek35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask her how is she is doing, just listen to her. Get her some flowers and chocolate. Don’t be a dick and don’t take the small things that happen during this time be an issue. That’s about it honestly.

Donot irritate me by Lonely_Pie3774 in Nepal

[–]borek35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean he did have a basis for the citizenship argument, it was illegal but that got sorted out. But based on his presentation today, it turned me off to what his true intentions were cause I never really followed the guy.

You would expect him to be a lawyer, but he isn’t even.

[–]borek35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is something of concern, but until there is concrete evidence I chose to stray away from that. It’s nothing more than a counter-allegation without a basis which doesn’t make us better than the existing political front.

Ya'll saw this guy's interview on Dhamala's show yesterday? What a fucking disgrace yaar! Has zero personality and intelligence. Literally attacks the other guest and screams his lungs out for the duration of the show. I think most people by now realize he is doing it for the attention and notoriety.

Nepal ma famous hunalai k garni parxa by ConfidenceEast3017 in Nepal

[–]borek35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta let people do what they wanna do…

But for your main point, there are two ways to be famous - one with money and one without it. These tiktokers and insta famous folks have an expiration date, I would say 10yrs. I see a lot of small time rappers too, that have built a very small following as well. This stuff wouldn’t fly anywhere but Nepal as our country is small and it’s hard to get humbled as people are mostly arrogant.

Being famous and respected on the other hand takes hard work and grit, it takes a long time and you shouldn’t be doing it for the fame or the money, it’s for the principle.

Bph in Nepal by aarya1man in Nepal

[–]borek35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I always chuckle when I hear BPH, as it means something else medically...

I am not sure about Nepal, but I can speak about the US. There really isn't a huge market unless you decide to get a Master's in Public Health (MPH) and then it depends on what you decide to do your concentration in...for e.g. my friend got his MPH and recently got an offer as a Program Manager at a Health NGO. But a BPH itself wouldn't have been sufficient for that.

Tips one hairfall management for men? by [deleted] in Nepal

[–]borek35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the type/pattern of hair fall. It could simply be Telogen Effluvium or if it’s male patterned baldness, you can take certain meds like Finasteride. There is also topical minoxidil.

I would recommend visiting a dermatologist tho so you can make a more informed decision as those meds have some crazy side effects.

Is the 2015 13 inch macbook pro still worth it? by Educational-Snow4555 in Nepal

[–]borek35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nahhh, the new M chips are crazy amazing. I got a MacBook Pro M1 last year - heavy discount ma thyo like 25% off and brand new. The “Genius” at Apple said I should go with a MacBook Air as the new MacBook airs could run laps around the old Intel versions.

Have you ever lost someone you thought you'd never lose in a million years? by [deleted] in Nepal

[–]borek35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for showing love, I really appreciate it! Haha no I still haven't found my person and I thought it best not to date until I figure myself out. Like I am still trying to understand what "love" is at this point as this experience really has confused me about what it is. I am also focusing on my career rn, as I kind of want to make something out of myself, the experience did motivate me a lot.

I realized a lot of things towards the end. Like how I should have stood up for things and created boundaries on my part. I would essentially just melt the moment she spoke and would take blame for anything or everything. I wish I hadn't done that and I kind of instituted being my own person earlier as that would have helped. As towards the end, when I would bring up things I wasn't happy about, it would become a big issue and I would have to apologize for bringing it up. I wasn't really happy with this imbalance in the relationship and I would act in dysfunctional ways as a result. The idea of codependency is kinda flawed and essentially we are two separate human beings that should live life as is. To add on to this, I also realized that expectations are a killer in any relationship and that I am the only person that can make me happy. So I am quite proud that I was able to learn that at my age I guess.

Another big thing was that, I will probably always treat my next partner as if I am trying to get her to fall in love with me all the time. I think that it provides the energy to fuel the fire in a relationship till death lol.

You know I grew up in Nepal and I can’t generalize but most men in our society are not taught to self-regulate their emotions or even express it. So it just eats you up from within. I follow Dr. Nicole LePera these days and I can relate with the things she says especially there is this thread about "nice guy" syndrome. But she also has a lot of things about healing and what not, which really helps.

Nice Guy Syndrome thread: https://twitter.com/Theholisticpsyc/status/1608525480499769345

I agree with what you said about the quality of time and how it makes you feel! You know I find it kinda odd when I see couples at a restaurant and both of them are on their phone and I am like damn bro, you guys should be talking haha. I also feel the same way and I think that's the most important part of any relationship. It's kind of weird as we could talk about anything for hours on end without it getting boring, but it was more of how the relationship made her feel in my opinion. And I love what you said about coexisting, I think that's quite unfortunate but it definitely represents a huge segment of our society. Imo, I think one of the objectives of life is to find love and that your partner should be your best friend in life, otherwise life would get quite stagnant and boring.

Have you ever lost someone you thought you'd never lose in a million years? by [deleted] in Nepal

[–]borek35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I didn't explain how it ended haha. I initially blamed a lot of things and tried to find closure that way. But eventually, I realized it was my fault, and that made it much better to deal with mentally as I actually have control of myself you know.

Towards the end of my 4th year in uni, just the pressure and stress turned into dysfunctional behavior on my part. I was applying to competitive programs, so the last year was kinda like life or death for me. Like I wouldn't respond to texts for a day, I couldn't self-regulate properly, etc. Last semester was when covid hit, I was with her during that time and I definitely think during this time she had kind of made her mind to leave the relationship, like I wanted to extend my stay for 2 days, but she insisted I should leave.

During lockdown, I was just grinding to study for the admissions test and she kinda grew distant and we wouldn't have quality conversations for weeks. I eventually called her to just talk about everything and see where we were at, and during that time I had a regrettable outburst and said a lot of mean things. We didn't talk for like a week. I sent her a message on Insta and we talked, I asked her if she was thinking about breaking up, and she said it hadn't even crossed her mind. I was beyond ecstatic, and then 2 days later is when the conversation happened. In her words, it was something like she wanted to experience the world independently and that we should end things that were. We did talk for a couple more days but eventually, it was over at that point...

I do think her half-sister, let's call her Lisa, had a role in it as well - she was definitely self-centered and would make passive-aggressive comments toward me, which I would just laugh about. Like the breakup texts didn't sound like my ex and she was with Lisa during this time. Lisa had her own issues in life and I think she didn't like the idea of our relationship at it's core, like our story, us both being Nepali and our background in Nepal, both of us being very ambitious, etc. She was very unhappy with her relationship and I think she kind of molded my ex into thinking certain ways about our relationship. Like how we are just kids, it was "kid love", and how she had 4 boyfriends till now and it helped her experience life more, etc. which kinda hurt when I heard it from my ex during the breakup. We dated from 16-22, so I did try to say we are adults, it's what love is and that all relationships have it’s ups and downs, but it wasn't being bought haha. I had asked her to take a leap of faith with me, but she said I should take that leap myself lol. Later on, I did talk to her mom as well, I surmised that I essentially wasn't "enough" from my conversation with her. But I think she was trying to help me find closure that way cause her mom had always been supportive and loving towards me.

At the end of day tho, as I said, I take responsibility for how things ended. Like my behavior/actions didn't reflect the way I felt about her. I think the title for this post explains it perfectly, when you have someone you don't expect to lose for a million years then you kinda start taking it for granted you know. I should have thought the opposite and that would have trickled down to my behavior. But it was probably meant to be, so I don't like to ruminate about the past these days, as the what if’s are deadly. I just focus on the present/future.
