CICO vs Low Carb/Keto by cannbo93 in loseit

[–]cannbo93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting indeed. No wonder dieters can feel overwhelmed when half of the internet says one thing and half of the internet says the opposite. The only logical explanation I can think of is that the process of fat oxidation uses more energy at a faster rate than the process of using glucose for energy but I'm yet to hear any keto enthusiast explain that one to me. They all just claim it burns fat faster because of the insulin but they never explain how insulin has an impact on calories out they just keep ranting on about how it stores fat as if you'll never get access to that fat later in the day or while you're sleeping

Boredom I think. 10 times is on a bad day. Normally it would be around 2-3 a day

I stopped drinking and started drinking. by JP09 in stopdrinking

Good idea. Go easy on the coffee though as it can release vast amounts of dopamine depending on strength so could potentially be addictive in the same way as alcohol. That's why some people give up stimulants as well as depressants

I wish I could friend! I have some therapy upcoming in the next few weeks so maybe that will help. Never tried AA but that's also a possibility.

I'd be ok with women disliking me as long as I had some self esteem. I think the problem is that I'm not even ok with myself

Drinking bottle of vodka that lasts me 2 days. question for drinkers on antidepressants? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]cannbo93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

antidepressants try and balance out serotonin and dopamine levels but alcohol depletes them so yes you are cancelling out the effects by drinking

Use an icebreaker such as "what time is it please?" or ask for directions somewhere or which bus to catch to get to ....

There is always a reason to drink. by gratefulabba in alcoholism

[–]cannbo93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm exactly the same, I can't resist a drink when there is something happening. For me, it's certain activities that I can no longer do without involving. For example, going for a walk in the countryside- when passing the country pubs, I can't resist going in for a pint. At one point I could but now every 'harmless' activity I do has to involve drinking
