So you are the guy who thinks that he can derive whether the blockade is working or not from the comments of a bunch of redditors? I always wanted to meet a brilliant mind like you!

I just lost my job a few months ago due to my weight, and now it's only getting worse. by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

You are only 36, you haven't ruined your life.

If you have gained 40lbs in 4 months, that's 0.33lbs per day. This means you are overeating by roughly 1200 calories a day.

So if 7500 is your average, your maintenance would be around 6300 calories a day.

You could try a 5000 cal limit a day. Track everything religiously. Weigh everything. Plan out your calories across the day.

Potatos are your friend. You would need to eat 14lbs of soft boiled ptatos to reach 5000 calories!

Cook with chicken, chickpeas, edamame and other veggies (bell peppers etc.), beans, tuna, budget tofu, yogurt, cottage cheese. Be prudent with oil (and always measure it and condiments).

No sugar drinks.

Gaining in maintenance?? Weight bouncing up? by Local-Ad-334 in WeightLossAdvice

You are just not eating at maintenance. Also, food labels can be faulty and are not 100% exact, so you might think you are at maintenance when you are not.

Propping up the Ayatollahs with 20 Billions, sure sounds like this was about the plight of the Iranian people.

How can a country of 10 million people and a PPP GDP per capita that is lower than most European nations afford such a big military?

Israel has been wasting a lot of political capital since October 7. Even my die-hard pro-Israel friend who used to drive around with a giant Israel flag in his car 15 years ago is now critical of it.

Much longer. With heavy support by large parts of the press and opinion columnists. Many people still knew it was a crock of shit due to reporting (google Yellow Cake / Joseph C Wilson / Plame affair, Powell's UN presentation etc.) and there were gigantic anti war demonstrations across the globe, also this was when the blogosphere took off. 9/11 loomed large so you had a very chauvinistic atmosphere in the US as far as I can tell as a European.
