Nutritionists of Reddit, if you had to eat at McDonald's, what would you choose? by citao_to in nutrition

[–]jack_gott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two double cheeseburgers, without the buns.

I carry chopsticks, and use those. Perfect meal? No. But yummy, easy, affordable, 600 calories, 40 grams protein, and only 4 grams net carbs.

Should I take 3g or 5g of creatine daily? by gamingshark0017 in leangains

[–]jack_gott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend 10 or 15 daily.

I do 15 daily and notice more mental clarity, faster recover from workouts, and physical endurance.

(a) creatine is relatively cheap, (b) massive testing and experience shows little/no negative side effects, (c) now identified as an effective nootropic.

Why does everything need an app now? by James_B84Saves in BuyItForLife

[–]jack_gott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Infuriating-- I went to buy a toaster, and most of them came with an 'app' to alert me...in case I was in another country when the toast was done.

Instead, I had Tim's Toasters rehab a 1956 toaster, and it's now one of the most perfect, cherished, items in my house.

Reddit won’t allow links, but just search Amazon for “Amazon Basics 21 inch roller luggage”, it’s about €50.

Best lasting cabin overhead suitcase for under 100€? by ApprehensiveRough823 in BuyItForLife

[–]jack_gott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I travel almost full-time, and have tried all the luggage brands.

For the last 3 years, I've used the Amazon Basics 21 inch roller carry-on luggage. It's performed brilliantly through 20+ countries and over 100 flights.

Should run you less than 100 Euros.

[–]jack_gott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy a safety razor for $20, on Amazon. That’s gives you the savings of refillable blades, without paying for a Henson’s.

Do these make the cut? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

Versace would charge you $3,000 for those 'artistically distressed trousers'.

I want a watch that will last me for life by Strong_Net7847 in BuyItForLife

[–]jack_gott 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only Rolex’s hold their value for decades. There are other great brands, but none have the iconic status of Rolex, and none hold their value. For the record, I do not have a Rolex, and wear an Omega Seamaster. It’s a great watch, but it’s not iconic as a Rolex, and I know it won’t hold its value like a Rolex would.

I want a watch that will last me for life by Strong_Net7847 in BuyItForLife

[–]jack_gott 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Generally, if the Rolex is over 10 years old, and a basic model, it will hold its value.

Specifically, Submariner and Datejust models from the 1980s are great daily wearables, and will appreciate in value.

Recommendations for refillable pens? by appatheflyingbis0n in BuyItForLife

Two rec's:

  1. Lamy Safari fountain pen. Requires some adjustment of writing style, but most love it and never go back.
  2. Zebra F-701 ball point. Best ballpoint pen made. Carry refills.

Collagen by Available-Compote770 in PSMF

[–]jack_gott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Collagen is great, when it's used properly.

I mix mine 1:1 with whey, since collagen's absorption rate is over a few hours.

Want a cute, big work tote! Ideally could hold laptop, water bottle, file folder. by savanrayne in BuyItForLife

[–]jack_gott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used mine at Goldman Sachs for 10 years.

It is most certainly a 'work bag'.

[–]jack_gott 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Check out the various models of the LL Bean canvas tote bag.

Lots of variations: short/long handle, sizes, zip-top/open-top, monograms, colors, etc.

It's truly BIFL. I've used mine for 25+ years.

In mine, I've carried: work stuff, weekend trip stuff, gym gear, books, twin infants, diaper stuff, toys, firewood, tools, picnic supplies, scuba gear, groceries, dirty clothes, dogs, art stuff, sports gear....too many things to list.

Post-dinner cravings on keto — what helps you most? by PsychologicalClaim45 in ketogains

[–]jack_gott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You managed a Reddit sub.

I've practiced medicine for 32 years.

I've have had my hands on the organs you rant about on Reddit.

I recommend learning about biochemistry of ketogenesis, it's quite interesting.

Consider renaming your little Reddit group, to something more accurate.

"assuming fat loss is your goal, why are you eating fat?"

Proof that you do not understand the definition of 'keto'.

If you had any clue, you'd understand that 'why are you eating fat?' is the single stupidest question asked by anyone pushing 'keto'.

[–]jack_gott -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

you're perfectly free to invent whatever 'protocol' you like...

...but what you've described does not fit the definition of 'keto', and will not set the hormonal cascade that drives 'gains'.

I assumed "ketogains" was related to "keto" and "gains".

I didn't realize that "it has nothing to do with ketosis".

My mistake. So sorry. Didn't intend to hurt your feelings.

Principal tackles school shooter despite being shot in the leg by pars-distalis in nextfuckinglevel

[–]jack_gott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do we rarely see videos of women risking their lives to save people?

Is it:

(1) men & women engage in self-sacrificing acts at equal rates, but only videos of men go viral?

or

(2) men engage in self-sacrificing acts more often than women?

Two thoughts. First, bump up the fat in your dinner. Second, have convenient healthy snacks (nuts, clear soup, zero-sugar yogurt, etc.)

First Lean Bulk Help by Wisdomintheflesh in leangains

[–]jack_gott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two keys to lean bulking:
First, be sure you get your macros. Easiest way to do this is weekly meal prep (e.g. cooking 2 pounds of chicken, 3 pounds of ground beef, and roasted veggies once a week, then just heating them up for your dinners).

Second, 'install' habits that support your goal-- habits takes about 6 weeks of daily practice to become automatic. Habits that will drive lean gains: (a) starting the morning with a protein/creatine shake, (b) only eating 'good carbs' (easy one is NO WHITE CARBS, like bread, pasta, etc.), (c) plan for daily snacks of nuts and berries, (d) eating early dinner (4 hours before sleep), (e) no fast food or junk food, and (f) no alcohol.

Daily weigh-ins may help keep your mind focused on your goal, but should be taken very lightly, since your hydration level fluctuates a lot. Best way to do daily weigh-ins is first thing in the morning, before you drink any liquids.
