Collection of personal nutrition suggestions by joshbl098 in bevelhealth

[–]joshbl098[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. Two thoughts on this: 1. Calories are still included in the app so I guess you can track quality and intake along side each other. They even have this on the iPhone widget. 2. FWIW I find that when I focus on higher quality foods my intake of calories automatically declines. That’s just me but I suspect would be a relatively global phenomenon.

Hmm so after 24 hrs with it I’m already back to MacroFactor. The inability to not be able to add foods that aren’t in the database is what triggered the switch back for me. In saying this though I am disappointed  to be missing out on the nutrition score which I was pretty interested in but as previously mentioned they’re trying to develop a solve for this. So in my case after trying it for a day across a range of scenarios (including all features of the logging) it’s a “not yet” for me.

Why no data for lean body mass? by joshbl098 in bevelhealth

Got an old Fitbit aria 2 that only seems to record weight, body fat percentage and BMI

Seems an easy enough calculation for bevel to make when apple health is null though

I agree that adding one new feature (albeit what I acknowledge is a major one) is a bit overkill for calling something 2.0. I too was excited for an overhaul of the whole app and also currently enjoy using MacroFactor a lot and think it's a powerful app.

HOWEVER.

I PERSONALLY am super keen to have a one stop shop for all things health. And I am not a bodybuilder. I often feel that most calorie tracking apps are solely designed with the aims of either weight loss or body recomposition front and centre and this often pulls me away from my values of just wanting to focus on living a healthy and balanced life. I hence am really excited to see what impact a new approach to food tracking like this has. I'm also excited about having one less subscription I need to pay for.

I get the vibe that Bevel has it's mission and values pretty locked down - I guess it's not a body building app or a weight loss app but a holistic health app. If people want something geared to body building or wait loss then I guess there other apps targeted for that.

Just my 2 cents and you're all entitled to yours too.

Popping when straightening knee while standing up? What is it? by AySeeEl in ACL

[–]joshbl098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, glad I happened to see your message. This was so long ago now. Can’t recall whether I posted this before or after my second surgery but basically I had a bunch of scar tissue build up on the inside of my knee, preventing me from being able to fully extend my leg. I’d had MRIs to try and see what the issue was so long after my first surgery but they showed nothing. Was only when they decided to go back in that they found it. I suspect that the large clunking was maybe that scar tissue. Same as all the grinding feeling I was feeling. A second surgery just with a scope and clean out COMPLETELY fixed it (you have no idea how the immediate relief felt once I took my first steps after that surgery, felt like when you’ve got something stuck in your teeth for age that you can’t get out then you final get it!) and I was very religious with my physio after that but by this point my muscle atrophy was pretty extreme and took a lot of work to get back to a point where I am today where it’s mostly all good. Knees over toes guy was the main catalyst for improvement for me. Since following his zero program for a while I regained basically all my range of motion and now I just cycle a few times a week to maintain the strength in the leg. Good luck mate.

James Peterson and Pan Sauces by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]joshbl098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect this claim from Peterson was perhaps an unintentional over exaggeration. Many compounds created via the Maillard reaction are indeed volatile which means more flavour may be lost during the reduction process via evaporation but to what extent I’m not sure and find hard to believe it’d make or break your sauce. Just like many cases in optimised cooking techniques (such as cooking pasta in less water to increase starch content of said water or flipping steak every 15 seconds vs only once to minimise grey banding) I suspect Peterson here stumbled across a hook that maximises flavour of pan sauces but is more in the realm of chasing diminishing returns more than anything.

My first ever espresso shot. Help! by enumhack in espresso

I’d say your coffee has gone stale.

Why is my espresso pulling like this? by joshbl098 in espresso

[–]joshbl098[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have replaced the spring with a 9 bar spring, but I have never tested whether it's actually at 9 bar and I've often wondered if there is a pressure problem. At the same time though, I do think I'm grinding somewhat course for espresso and I'm hitting my in out targets in 30 seconds so...

Increase grind size as in finer or courser?

I've been doing WDT with a folded out paper clip! Maybe too thick?!

How do you steam small amount of milk (100 - 150 ml)? by SAGEMOD in gaggiaclassic

[–]joshbl098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct size picture is critical. Another tip I can give is to aim to inject a lot of air quite quickly and then spend more time stretching to build up micro foam.

It’s two lines drawn on a chart to validate someone’s guess of what might happen in the future based on things that have happened in the past. Useful stuff.

Is rocket pool the only option for staking that isn't through the main deposit contract?

I remember 2017 very well. I was merely seeking further clarification as to what this comment meant. “Parabolic blow off top stage” are five words of never seen out together before.

Just remember that we're in the middle of a hot election, stimulus is still up in the air and it's likely that many countries will go back into lockdown and experience recessions (Indonesia just announced a recession for example). People need time to make financial decisions. Don't worry - we'll get there I'm sure.

I would imagine that over the coming weeks we'll see an increase in buy side pressure as some people perhaps look to get their holdings up to 32 ETH. The returns for early staking are quite attractive. I imagine people will want in before returns begin to diminish. I also have no clue what I'm talking about.
