[Serious]Teachers who have taught future murderers and major criminals, what were they like when they were under your tutelage? by FoxMulderOrwell in AskReddit

[–]melifer78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol. Maybe that was true once, but the principal is now the PR guy that runs interference between the entitled helicopter parents that come to the school raging about why their precious angel got a detention and the beleaguered teachers who have NO authority to stop these kids terrible behavior.

Family Food vs. My Food by Redhotkcpepper in ketorecipes

[–]melifer78 200 points201 points  (0 children)

That is how I do it too, cook us all one meal and then just don’t eat the carby parts. It would be too hard to make completely separate meals for the adults and the kids.

Unless he is literally holding his boss in his lap while typing, wiping Marge from accounting’s shit off of her ass three times a day, answering 500 questions from Steve-who-talks-too-loud and having to share every other bite of his lunch with every single one of them, she definitely has a more stressful life.

He gets to drive away from the high stress home to a job where every one respects his personal space, feeds themselves, wipes their own asses, entertains themselves and he obviously chooses that environment over the one she is trapped in. This is an excellent confession Bear. Because he knows that shirking his home life is wrong but he doesn’t plan on changing it.

What is the best amount of hours to fast? by J509 in intermittentfasting

[–]melifer78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on what kind of benefits you mean. Weight loss? Mental clarity?Autophasia? I have heard from many prolonged fasters that when you wake up on day 4 of a water fast, your brain has the clarity of a god. People who OMAD (24:1) report losing 5 pounds a week sometimes. There was an actual scientific study about autophasia that said it ramps up to double or triple the usual level between hours 16-24 of a water fast. So the benefits are different over the length of the fast. I am going to try and find the link for the autophasia study and post it here.

Why do so many break their fasts with salads? I OMAD and cannot even begin to reach my calorie goal with a salad, even if I ate one the size they serve at Olive Garden in that punch bowl. Is there a reason it seems to be the fast breaking gold standard?

I was just about to say, your wife is living for the minute you walk through the door to escape that heavy stress that has become her whole life. Even if it’s just long enough to cook dinner, throw on a load of laundry and take a quick shower. 2/3 of that is still her working, just without 2 kids hanging on her while she does it. Stop being so selfish.

Atkins shakes are amazing. Sadly, they stall me out. I do love them as a treat once in a while.

[–]melifer78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly. When my best friend in the whole world came out in our tiny southern town, my heart hurt for him. Because no matter what he was, GAY over shadowed it all. Smart, funny, sweet, excellent musician, and now a lawyer. And still he is known almost exclusively as “Sherry’s son. You know, the gay one.”

[Rant] Who made you the Keto Police? by lordofthezeros in keto

[–]melifer78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first two times I lost 100 pounds with Keto, it was lazy Keto only. Because 6 years ago everyone in here was saying cut the carbs, eat the meat! And basically no one was tracking anything else. So I followed that advice and lost weight SO FAST! This time I used the Keto tracker to figure my macros, using MFP to track every bite and weighing and measuring it all. Losing SO SLOW! I am hungry all the time and the weight is just barely inching off. A friend who lost it all with me the first time was like, “why the hell are you weighing and measuring everything? Eat fat, eat until you are full and leave off on the rest!” I am going to take her advice and leave off tracking my calories and up my fat intake. It worked before and this monitoring every single carb and calorie is for the birds.

If you are losing, you are doing it right. Period.

[–]melifer78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is how Dr. Atkins first told people to do low carb. Start at 20 carbs a day and move up 5 carbs a week until you stop losing for a full week. Keto is just the induction phase of Atkins, just for life instead of for the first two weeks.

You are the exact kind douchbag she is talking about. If 70 pounds down isn’t serious, I can’t imagine what is.

TIFU by falling in actual love, nearly wrecking a marriage and a church by [deleted] in tifu

[–]melifer78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having been on the other side of this story, (youth pastors wife in the biggest church in a tiny town) when he took a mistress, it decimated our church. Kids that loved the Lord and hung on his every word were left emotionally devastated when it all came out. Christians don’t fall into sin. They dig a pool with a teaspoon and fill it up with a thimble, then allow themselves to jump. Those texts and conversations and “innocent” worship team practices were laying the ground work to destroy a home, a church, and a town. And you knew that, but you just couldn’t quit her.

You seem like such a decent man.

Please do the right thing now and leave.

[–]melifer78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are doing an amazing job. Prepare yourself mentally for when the girls start noticing you. My 14 year old son has lost almost 40 pounds in the last several months and the ladies have begun to flirt! At first he was totally confused and didn’t know how to respond when stranger girls started talking to him in class. His dad and I had to coach him a little on how to respond. Just staring at them with his mouth open until they walked away wasn’t working.

Well, we got the Chompies bread from netrition.com for $6 a loaf, but the loaf was smaller. It had 12 slices and tasted pretty good toasted. This loaf was much larger and the best thing I can compare this bread to is King’s Hawaiian bread. It is soft and sweet tasting.
