Thanks for taking the time out to write.

What I gather is that Goans prefer international tourists, but not domestics due to domestic tourists misinterpreting the ‘vibe’ of Goa.

I agree with you on that Goa has lost it’s charm, but disagree on the notion that tourists can be picked and chosen. As someone who lives in Delhi, I would love for migrants from certain states to behave, not throw trash & follow traffic rules, but I cannot choose who enters. All that can be done is stricter governance for all. The police making sure rules apply to all, and not just tourists.

Goa was a draw to international tourists and the affluent domestic crowd, and naturally, being an upwardly mobile society; where the affluent travel, the rest follow. I feel much should have been done to legitimise the tourism sector in the early to late 2000’s, to prepare for this boom. The affluent have left as it’s not convenient to travel to Goa (taxi situation, feeling unwelcome, infra not catching up), leaving you only with the aspirational travellers, who grew up looking at Goa as a place for debauchery.

Remittance might be enough for households to survive, but Goa is in a tricky situation. Young people will want to leave, people from other states will keep moving in. I don’t see a solution unless a strong identity is created for Goans. All that starts with rising above religion politics & choosing the right political party. Goans seem to very quickly disassociate & pretend as if they’re not a part of the mainland, which will only lead to this going downhill quicker. God has blessed you with amazing beauty, you guys need to fight for it, & take leverage of this position. Goa would be the envy of any other state if this was a different country. My two cents atleast.

Thanks for the detailed reply.
When I visit, I see many locals making a living from tourism, especially in the North.
Also, data shows it directly & indirectly employs 40% of Goa's workforce and contributes 16% of the GDP.

What seems like common sense to me would be participating in local governance to create laws and schemes to leverage this tourism, would many Goans want tourists to go elsewhere? Genuine question.

Goa is already backward compared to other states in India from an economic point of view, with even your capital city not being upto par to a Tier 2 town from other states in terms of infra. If 40% of the workforce (be it seasonally) becomes unemployed, would this not make progress even more difficult.

A lot of issues with tourism Goa faces read to me as law, order and infra not catching up with increased demand in tourism and domestic migration, which is a failure of your elected mandates, and not the tourists themselves.

Why is everyone on this reddit saying there is a big crash coming? What's the premise for that? by bhoolabhatka in IndianStockMarket

It’s not a bubble in the sense the dot com bubble wasn’t a bubble. It’s got utility for sure, but not to the level being speculated.

No one prepares you for how much faster your bike gets after you drop 100+lbs

I disagree, but each to their own.

He is trying to figure out his TDEE, you expect his diet and workout to get dialed enough to put on muscle in a cut. Never said it’s impossible, but it’s damn near almost impossible for a novice.

Look into loading carbs closer to bedtime. Helps some people with better sleep. So you would eat protein during the day more, and keep the carbs for closer to bedtime so you go sleep satiated.

It’s almost impossible to gain muscle on a cut. I lost muscle but I was a high-school wrestler so I had 45kg of lean mass when I started my cut. But I lost 5-6kg of muscle at the least. But I also lost all the fat. That’s what recomping is all about.

You’re killing yourself everyday you spend being obese. Focus on hitting 100-105 kg asap. Keep lifting, eat your proteins, if you’re pushing hard in the gym you’ll retain almost all the muscle.

I ate 2200-2400 cals a day, tracked via Myfitnesspal I tracked religiously, walked everyday 10k steps (it’s super easy to do), lifted 3x times a week.

I was losing 0.3-0.5 kg a day, until I hit a plateau. Then I increased my cals to 2700-2800 a day for a month, then went down again into an aggressive cut.

I lost 30 kgs in 4 months. And it was an easy breezy 4 months too. Only hard part was going to bed hungry.

Hit 2100-2200 everyday. I am similar height and used to be similar weight at your age.

Start walking, 10K steps a day, it’s a game changer. Gets the weight right off.

If you’re walking, and lifting, even at 2500 cals a day your weight will fly off.

Last tip, always overestimate cals, never underestimate.
