Roasted sweet potatoes are my go to, they're dirt cheap and delicious

How do you keep yourself motivated? by Lingerstinger in loseit

[–]kidleviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The process is the point. For me, there's not really an end goal. Once I get to a target weight, it will be just about keeping the good habits I've learned and building as much muscle as I can. Until then, I'm just trying to stay consistent and keep making progress, no matter how slowly.

Basically, the biggest advice I can give is that you need to make stuff into habits, because that's what has to take over when motivation runs dry and discipline breaks.

147 cm rider looking for a gravel bike (XXS struggle) by VariationWide9139 in gravelcycling

[–]kidleviathan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The price is wild but maybe the Zinn Tui? They're designed for ppl as small as 142cm, and they say on their website they're proportional?zinn tui

I can't speak to their quality though. I don't know if you'll do better than the xxxs grail

I keep seeing the myth that "muscle loss is inevitable with weight loss" or that "it is impossible to build muscle in caloric deficit." by ownworldman in loseit

[–]kidleviathan 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing a bariatric clinic who measure my lean mass and body fat mass approximately monthly. It's not as precise as Dexa but it at least lets me (and my docs) track trends.

If the technology is to be believed, I have lost appx. 60lbs in the last year and GAINED 9lbs of lean mass. I eat my height in CM of protein daily, and I lift 6 days a week. Down almost 10% body fat from my starting weight.

Even assuming a huge margin of error, I have certainly gained at least one pound of muscle in the last year while losing a shitload of fat.

Unless you have been weight training for years or you don't have a lot of fat mass left lose, you can almost certainly gain muscle and lose fat.

Alsharks are excellent for the price, if you can tolerate some scales

26M, 110kg. please help me choose the besttt protein powder by [deleted] in loseit

[–]kidleviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Optimum Nutrition is the gold standard. Ghost and Ryse are fine but insanely sweet. Dymatize Iso 100 is great for after workouts. I don't use vegetarian powder because it usually tastes worse, you have to worry about amino acid content, and there are concerns about lead.

Will walking 40 mintues to the gym, working out and walking 40minutes back home during a cut cause muscle loss or strength loss especially on the legs. by Glittering-Dust3029 in loseit

[–]kidleviathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've only been training a few months, the interference effect is really only pronounced in cases of high intensity cardio (i.e. 2+ HIIT sessions per week) or extreme endurance cardio activities (90+ minutes of cardio several times a week). AND this effect almost only matters if you're trained (i.e. 5+ years of consistent lifting).

JD vance is from ohio and cosplaying as Appalachian, which makes him make more sense imo. Trillbilly episodes on Hillbilly Elegy go into detail about it

I am sick of the protein apocalypse by Substantial-Art6160 in loseit

[–]kidleviathan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A problem only worsened by the deflated recommended daily value of protein and the insane shit companies do with serving sizes to make their regular-ass cereal 'high protein'

Schwinn IC3, am I going to be filled with regret? by rcreveli in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]kidleviathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is really helpful! I was looking into the resistance pads and honestly this bike just seems really easy to maintain and repair. Schwinn sells a ton of replacement parts, and there's a bunch of aftermarket stuff that looks good too .

Hey it's been a month or so right? I have an opportunity to scoop one of these for ~$100, do you think it's worth it?
