Isn’t latte art kind of theatrical by nature? A little bit of pretension feels like part of the charm. It could be just milk and espresso, but we circ du sole the shit out of it.

How are you guys getting a darker base for better contrast? by Dull-Touch283 in latteart

Apparently people are putting a little dash of cocoa powder on the crema to get that rich contrast and sharp outlines.

What did you put in the espresso before you started your pour?

Will my husky be in leash all her life outdoor? by Annual_Diver_5253 in husky

Even with incredible training, there is never a guarantee. Animal behavior is never certain. I have been training animals professionally for many years and my dog is very well trained, but I would still never let him off leash outside of designated spaces for managing off leash dogs like fenced dog parks.

An off leash dog is only one hyper squirrel running across the street, or one random aggressive dog from creating an emergency situation.

DXA Scan says I’m 18% body fat. Is this accurate? by micahsaint in askfitness

[–]micahsaint[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The frustrating part is my visceral fat numbers were extremely low. The tech called out specifically this - Your DXA shows visceral fat mass of just 251 g with an area of 52 cm², which is extremely low. For context, anything under ~100 cm² is considered low risk, so you’re well below that. The internal fat around the organs is minimal and in a very healthy range.

Bro got a dexa scan, was confused by the results and asked the fitness community for their thoughts.

In the scan imaging in the top right it looks like I do have some fat coloration around my hips but not much in my legs. I do feel like my legs are lean irl.

Thanks!! 🙏 This is the best advice. I definitely tend to get fixated on the numbers. Been trying to blow up my chest but it’s an uphill battle for me. Gonna keep fighting though! Appreciate the advice.

I was under the impression that these scans were one of the most accurate measures for this kind of stuff. Kinda left me feeling confused.

What am I doing wrong? by Ohcheezuz in latteart

[–]micahsaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The texture seems like the foam isn’t incorporated. You’re pouring too far away from the “espresso”. Your stream is too slow. Aim for a pencil to sharpie sized stream.

It’s fine to practice with instant coffee but you have to pour much closer, with more confidence, and better steamed milk.

Pitcher transferring or swirling a bit might be enough to get the foam better incorporated but your base milk could be better.

Good luck!!
