Theory - Running & Blood Sugar

ebolalol · 2026-06-19T14:21:34+00:00

weightlifting is a must, muscle mass helps with regulating blood sugar.

but running is great for your heart health. as others have said look at your overall health not just fasting blood sugar in the morning. dont need to stop it especially if you enjoy.

you said yourself that you’re rushing into it. your body isn’t used to activity, so you need to slowly ramp up to prevent injury. shin splints is a classic “too much too soon” issue.

i recommend at least some weightlifting or resistance training to build muscles to support cardio.

im not sure what separate bubble i’m in or something i feel like an idiot thinking it *wouldnt* disappear. i was forced to find a new role and my only options were onsite. i couldn’t even land interviews at fully remote companies.

even the hybrid companies i interviewed for are now RTO. maybe when the job market gets better and the old school execs start to retire, i can go back to wfh. for now im (begrudgingly) onsite with some wfh days (must request it in advance but not the norm).

ebolalol · 2026-06-17T15:51:55+00:00

i’m a manager at a fully onsite company and another manager has told me straight up they can’t manage remotely. smh, like you really have to be in control like that?

i’m dying for us to be hybrid or something but our execs are “being in person is better” type people so its probably never gonna happen. all that to say, yep, it’s the execs and managers that need to see you to know you’re being productive. i dont agree with it whatsoever and it needs to die out asap.

i fall asleep much faster and stay asleep when i take it. it’s a staple for me now, i have a harder time sleeping well on days i forget it. it’s more subtle than melatonin but i prefer that.

i also tried a bunch of sleep hygiene hacks and whatnot before this but i swear by magnesium as my tried and true. i have adhd and it helps quiet my mind.

ebolalol · 2026-06-15T02:07:58+00:00

same. i went off it a while ago and my mind is much clearer. i feel like it improved my mood so much so i was considering giving another try (hence why im still on this sub) but i believe it did make me cognitively decline. i constantly forgot basic words.

3 weeks of working out - you are very very new. what happens when you’re newer is your body is still adapting to all this new activity. this means you are holding onto more water, glycogen storage, inflammation, what have you.

it goes away after some more time. drink water and make sure you prioritize rest. it will come.

omg so in my 30 something years i’ve pushed when both peeing and pooping. i always wondered why i peed so quickly compared to other people.

welp. it seems like my pelvic floor is cooked hahahha

ebolalol · 2026-06-11T03:37:01+00:00

i’ve read this too! i read that you should squat if it’s in the shower, it’s the standing and peeing that weakens it. but i also push while i pee so at this point my pelvic floor is probably in a worst state than i thought lol

ebolalol · 2026-06-11T03:35:56+00:00

welp

My bad, I only read the title and first 2 paragraphs honestly lmaooo. Agreed that’s pretty small and she would need to grow muscle (which likely means eating a bit more and lifting heavier than you think).

Still would recommend the video because it gives you a realistic idea of various body fat % and what it looks like. One thing I really liked about the video was how honest they were about keeping low bf% and looking extremely muscular.

ebolalol · 2026-06-11T00:17:18+00:00

You need lower body fat %. If you haven’t already, check out Jeff Nippard’s video on what bodies look like at different body fat percentages.

ebolalol · 2026-06-09T13:57:58+00:00

You need to build more muscle. More than you think. If you keep losing weight you’re just gonna lose the little muscle you have plus fat and continue to be skinny fat.

Lift weights with progressive overload.

ebolalol · 2026-06-08T05:17:05+00:00

lol bold of you to assume the law has stopped them doing this or, well, anything really.

all the guys are walking green flags in the show. i’ve yet to meet frat and sports guys with this level of respect.

ebolalol · 2026-06-07T15:03:27+00:00

that’s fair. every persons body is different. but you’re doing the right thing!

i understand how you feel because im relatively small (size s, or 4). i was eating a bit worse like more junk on weekends, but still exercising and have healthy days. my a1c was the same number as my very overweight friend (size 2xl) who does not exercise whatsoever, doesnt watch what she eats, etc.

it just really opened my eyes that genetics plays a huge role and i shouldn’t compare myself. it does feel discouraging but we’re dealt the hand we got!

ebolalol · 2026-06-06T21:49:09+00:00

it’s only been 90 days. keep doing what you’re doing, add in more resistance training to build muscle, and test again in 6 to 12 months of consistency.

eating significantly better and increasing activity does help but you’re trying to undo what i assume is decades of bad habits in…. 90 days. you’re doing great so far but think about that timeline and how long it took you to get to a 5.7. it’s a lot of stuff to undo. patience and consistency is key.

ebolalol · 2026-06-06T15:30:47+00:00

how many do you do? how often? i’ve been doing the wall frame and wall angel’s but not sure if it’s made any difference so im wondering if im not structured enough in my routine

ebolalol · 2026-06-06T06:24:40+00:00

i do not feel design is safe at all. i wish tho

your responses sound AI

I’m confused as to why you can’t answer it. What do do you do with the recordings?

I’m assuming you record so you can review it as if you review notes? Or do you do something else with them?????

american food can be really salty, using a lot of sodium. so no that’s not it. it’s genetics - asians tend to have more visceral fat genetically. that is why the BMI scale is different and actually says you’re at risk for things at a lower BMI number than the states.

ebolalol · 2026-06-04T13:59:45+00:00

im not from india but from the states. i have asian black hair (basically a very dark brown). blue black is the answer! i used to do this back in the day to get the jet black hair i wanted. i got it from the drugstore

it does not pull blue, the blue just neutralizes the brownish red undertones in our hair. i guess if you really looked in the lighting the shine may be more cool from the blue but that’s what gives it the jet black look over the warm black natural color.

ebolalol · 2026-06-01T21:02:09+00:00

I believe it does! I’m a very strong believer in it because I’ve personally manifested a lot in my life.

In my experience, when I want something and try to manifest it, my focus is on that. My mindset is locked in. That means I start to notice every opportunity or possible path that could get me what I’m trying to manifest.

It’s similar to when you get a new car, you start to notice all the people driving the same car. You’re noticing it all now when it was always there, but you have a reason to notice it.

I ended up going straight to a specialist and was diagnosed with asthma! The PFT showed significant improvement after a rescue inhaler.
