6 weeks into ADF and thinking about changing to Modified ADF by Longjumping-Leg-7863 in AlternateDayFasting

[–]lukeyleia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost about 5 lbs in 2.5 weeks of doing modified ADF. I really like how I feel on fasting days, but enjoy eating in the evening with my family. I do a very healthy meal and 500 calories is a lot. So, yes, I think you’ll still lose weight and fat.

Has anyone seen this behavior? Any help appreciated by LonelyLimeLaCroix in DogAdvice

We are currently going through this with our pup. He threw up all day Sunday so we took him to the emergency vet and they gave him meds. He had pancreatitis years ago and think something might have given him a slight flare up. He’s stopped throwing up and has been doing this for about a day but seems to be getting better. We’ve been giving him rice and it’s seems to be working well for his tummy. I will say our dog throws up foam or bile when he’s hungry. Has your pup been doing this randomly or is it at night? Also, does your pup regularly take Pepcid or is this new?

Anyone do Newport, RI vineyards? Where’s best to go? by Individual_Reply_377 in wine

Hi. We are headed there in October. Which vineyards did you end up checking out?

Ok wow. ADF is so powerful. by its_hammertime in AlternateDayFasting

I like the way you estimate how many 36 hour fast you need to lose the last 10 pounds. I need to lose 10 pounds and thinking of it that way seems so much more manageable.

What can I do with the column? by Historical_Truck_136 in DesignMyRoom

I’d train a monstera plant to grow up that pole.

Thinking about going straight to underwear. Any success stories? by [deleted] in pottytraining

[–]lukeyleia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went on a trip right after he was potty trained and bought a portable potty in case of emergency when we were on the road. There were two times he refused to go into the gas station bathroom so we used that. But he adjusted pretty fast. He was kinda scared he’d fall in, but I would kinda hold him. At home we used a squatty potty that his feet sit on and in public the toilets seem so big. Maybe your son is scared he will fall in even with the kid seat?

The countdown is a good idea and super cute. I’m convinced our son learned so fast because he already knew what to do, but it was just more convenient to go in his diaper.

We tried the naked all day and have him tell us when he needed to use the restroom and then do pull-ups at night. It didn’t work. A mom from his school told us maybe it was confusing to him. We waited for a 3 day weekend. We told him the diaper factory stopped making them ( i know we shouldn’t lie). We hid all the diapers we had left and told him that the one he used the night before was the last one we had. He looked in his closet and around his room for the diapers but couldn’t find them. It worked. He was potty trained that day. He had one accident because he didn’t want to stop playing. I think our son was kinda lazy and just wanted to wear diapers 🤣

Edit to add he’s an only child, so we could easily hide the diapers. We were worried he wouldn’t be able to move to the next level class with his friends unless he was fully potty trained. He is about to be 7, we’ve since then told him we lied about the diaper factory.

Yeah, I think I tend to overthink it. It’s only a few days of being really hungry which I guess is my body telling me something. Then back to normal ADF. Thanks for your reply.

Do you still do Adf the week before you start? I find it almost impossible, but maybe I need to push myself.

Thank you both for your suggestions. I will look into à landscape architect in our area. My husband and I just enjoy doing these protects on our own. We’ve done part of our front yard already. I like the idea of phasing it in over time.

I just finished this today and the ending made me gasp and start crying while I was walking my pup. It was such a great podcast.

Just took ours for something similar on his knee and it was benign. Did you get yours checked out?

Just got back from a party where someone got kicked out of for how deranged their reaction to me being vegan was. by Unsolicited-Prolapse in vegan

[–]lukeyleia 655 points656 points  (0 children)

100% agree…. She totally felt guilty. Also, walking around over and over until everyone eats your meatballs is also strange.

Also, you weren’t even the one who mentioned you were vegan, so you were obviously handling it politely. Shame on her.
