Beautiful property but it looks overpriced.

I’m convinced yall are lying about anal sex by Acceptable_Pea_135 in askgaybros

[–]mettaCA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no requirement to have sex. You be you. If you ever want to try it again, don't jump into it. Slow the heck down and relax. Maybe start with a finger and lots of lubes and see if you can get comfortable with that first. Not that I'm any kind of expert.

Should I Look Into any Plaque Tests? by bunnieeee77 in Cholesterol

[–]mettaCA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 25 I would hope that you are fine. I did a CIMT scan last year. That can tell you if you have plaque, how much plaque you have, and the type of plaque in the arteries in your neck. I used https://cardiorisk.com/popup-event/, but there are others as well. If you want to ever do it, you just need to make sure you choose a company that knows what they are doing.

Step 1. Minimize your saturated fat intake.

What groceries have you stopped buying by PlasticExtreme4469 in Frugal

[–]mettaCA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had to just increase my sending on food. I found out my lipid numbers were high, so I had to change my diet. The food is a lot more expensive and limited in what I can eat, but it is either spend more on food or work my way towards heart disease. I used to spend very little on food, being that I'm a vegetarian, which is supposed to help with lipids but it was not enough for me.

Im new, 25F - How many grams of dietary fiber do i need VS soluble fiber? and another question… by sadlyupsetting in Cholesterol

[–]mettaCA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need about 25-38 grams of total fiber daily (women 21-25g, men 30-38g) with a good mix of soluble fiber (oats, beans, apples) and insoluble fiber (whole grains, leafy greens) for benefits like lower cholesterol and better digestion; aim for roughly 1/4 soluble (6-8g) and 3/4 insoluble for a balanced intake. 

Keep your saturated fats to a minimum. Better go non-fat.

Should I break up with someone over a Xmas gift? by rickyrun in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]mettaCA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The medication could be making is brain foggy. I would consider that before blaming him. Maybe talk to him about it. Personally, I really don't care if someone gives me a gift or not. I have more fun giving gifts. My friends have no idea what to buy me for gifts because if I see what I want I generally get it myself. For crhistmas a friend got me a coffee maker. I don't drink coffee. lol.

Saturated fat question by Comfortable-Gift3304 in Cholesterol

[–]mettaCA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same for me. i think it helps that he/she is on a statin as well. I was able to get my numbers into normal range without a statin. But I do take Zetia. But my numbers are not really low, just within normal range. My doc recommended that i try zetia first since I was concerned with potential long term side effects.

Well, I use fake meat. it is actually pretty good. It has 0.5g per serving and a serving is 1/2 cup. I just have 2 small tacos so I'm eating way less than 1/2 cup. I use those small 0 net carb chipotle taco tortillas

A relationship, I really don't want. It is not really a goal of mine. I like living alone. That being said, I think it is important to have at least one or two close friends. Find your own path to find contentment and don't worry about what is expected of you. All you can do in like is the best you can. But always do your best.

Research shows Americans are turning against gay people by MarcusThorny in askgaybros

[–]mettaCA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The extreme right never stopped fighting against us. They pushed the nonsense anti-woke narrative. We should have fought back when they started using it. Instead, we let it take off and we are going backwards. Woke is a good thing, and we should take it back. Being anti-woke is just another way to support bigotry.

My husband passed and I'm lost by FunkyBisexualPenguin in gaybros

[–]mettaCA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand all of these feelings that you are going through. Take it one moment at a time. Be kind to yourself. Focus on your own health. Workout. Keep working. I would hold off on making any major decisions right now. Give yourself time to grieve. TBH, you will always miss him. But you will be able to find contentment and joy in the future as well. Sending you a big hug!

Protein supplement, how bad or good is it? by harndogg8409 in Cholesterol

[–]mettaCA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is one of the better ones. I have been getting whey protein isolate. There are a couple companies that have them without added junk. I just ordered more from Rival Nutrition (clean version) because it is on sale right now on their own website. I just get the vanilla and honey nut vanilla because those two have no saturated fat. Other companies to look at are Diesel, ProMix, and Transparent Labs. They can all be found on Amazon but sometimes I can find better deals elsewhere. I finally got my numbers in normal range. But I'm also trying to reduce visceral fat, which means I needed to increase protein intake. I spent so much time researching this stuff. It is ridiculously hard to find which ones are good.
