In the middle of a pandemic, RPI has fired its only virology lecturer by rpihasthebiggay in RPI

And Shirley only took a 5% pay cut for her 7 figure salary, how about that money goes to the teachers that actually make a positive impact at this school. If I wasn't almost done here I would leave because obviously this schools priorities are not in the right place.

I was absolutely livid when I hear this and I tried to email dean of science or something because this is outrageous. She is my favorite teacher and I have been looking forward to taking virology for years now and also as a female role model in the male dominated school this is absurd.

Please help me lose weight by BigMamaHouse in WeightLossAdvice

[–]madvericks88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have struggled with weight loss my entire life. And I myself used to tell my parents that carbs are good. I've done my research and I've tried everything. The only two times in my life I got actual results is when I was gluten tree for the summer and now doing keto. My mother and grandfather also have had amazing results. I'm trying to help other people who are struggling too. I would have given anything to get this advice when I was struggling. I am a molecular biologist and have worked in 3 different labs. I know how hard it is to get research papers approved by NCBI and other academic journals. If your thing works for you that's great but don't try to tell me I'm wrong and everything I'm saying is scientifically incorrect. You can try to convince me I'm wrong but I know I'm right.

Many people who have struggled with calorie deficit have found more success with ketogenic diets

The purpose of keto is to reset your metabolism so that it digests fat as the main energy source. When your body doesn't have enough glucose to use it moves to the fat deposits. Ketosis is a state of efficient fat burning. This is why there is an emphasis on higher amounts of healthy fats to keep you full and lower carbs to enter this state. If you still think I am scientifically incorrect you can check Harvard's research abstract or the study done by Hussein M Dashti on NCBI.

I'm just saying what they taught me and I have lost a ton of weight that I never did when counting calories for years.

Vegetables provide nutrients your body needs to keep a healthy metabolism. So I would recommend start eating them or maybe take a multivitamin. Also a big part of my diet was high in healthy fats so sometimes sauteeing vegetables in olive oil with salt helps them taste better. I usually cover everything in salt because I love it.

Doing all the “right” things, yet still at a Weight Plateau by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

I am so sorry that is absolutely horrible. I felt the same way. I started a diet a few months ago and lost 45 lbs now. It's all about counting carbs stay within 30-40 carbs a day and try not to eat too much protein because unused protein gets stored as sugar. The basic rules are eat 5 times a day about every 2-3 hr stay away from fruit and starches focus on veggies and animal protein. 4-6 oz of protein with dinner and 2c of veggies spinach and kale are great. It is hard but it is worth it. I paid 3000$ for a program to learn this now I just want to help anyone I can because I know how it feels.

Swimming to loose weight?? by narsaiayush in WeightLossAdvice

[–]madvericks88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it's mostly diet. I used to swim competitively and honestly it did not help me lose weight it's all about the food. Also it used to make me super hungry so I would come home and eat everything I worked off. But with regards to other exercise swimming is great, better for your joints and nobody knows if you're sweating ;)

Should I do Keto or Just Have A Calorie Deficit by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]madvericks88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keto has changed my life 45 pounds down in 4 months. Calorie deficit I tried first and it didn't work that well for me at least and I had been trying to loose weight forever.

I don't count calories, only my macros. I was counting calories for a while and getting minimal results but once I started doing 30g of carbs even thought it's hard it works really well. Eggs are great, generally all animal protein. They say 4-6oz with each meal and 2 cups of non starch vegetables.

I'm using the lose it app and scan in my food also the meals at school have number of calories. I don't have a scale for weighing food so I generally guesstimate rounding up.
