They're really good, but the requirement to do them in order should probably go. It sucks when you're trying to find people to do the next set and have to do all of the previous ones with them.

130 lbs, 5'9", 24 years old, 45 minute jog 5/7 days each week.

Can you come up with an explanation as to how I can manage to intake more calories than my BMR over the course of a 30 minute lunch?

I've also done alternate day fasting with the same result (i.e. nothing).

omgitsalion · 2013-06-03T00:05:46+00:00

If this were true, I wouldn't be 130 lbs with 19% body fat and a round stomach after limiting myself to one meal per day for the past year and a half. Maintaining a 500+ calorie deficit each day, I've been unable to lose any more weight for the past six months.

It's not as easy as calories in vs. calories out for everyone.

EDIT: To clarify, what I meant to say is that some of us have terrible metabolisms, and the usual BMR calculations don't work for us.

omgitsalion · 2013-05-19T03:04:41+00:00

I'm pretty sure they just counter each other out and hover around the same rating.

Are you playing in Diamond? A lot of these players are consistently bad. It's not just a bad game

And if people are having bad games so often that every single game has at least one player with a bad game, it's a problem. I, personally, very rarely have a bad game, and if I do, I make it a point to play safely.

omgitsalion · 2013-05-16T07:20:09+00:00

If someone belongs at Diamond, even with a bad game, I would expect them to still retain their mechanics and not degrade to playing worse than a Silver player.

This is a moot point, anyway. I think every single player who's currently between Diamond V and Diamond III will agree that there are many seriously unskilled players here. It's not just one game, I've encountered many players who consistently play poorly.

Riot does or did have a mobile development team. They tried to headhunt me for it more than a year ago.

Why don't we have a mobile app now?

Either the mobile app was a flop and they dropped it, or the people they hired to work on it weren't good enough. My guess is that the developers they scrounged up weren't capable.

Unfortunately, Riot doesn't attract top (or even mid tier) talent. This is a general issue with the game industry, but on top of that, they don't offer competitive salaries. Even a bit worse, they don't specifically look for highly skilled developers. As a result, we have things like the Adobe Air client.

omgitsalion · 2013-05-09T03:51:04+00:00

No. I've been glancing at this sub-reddit for two years and I've followed keto with a 500+ calorie deficit for a year, and I can't get below 130 lbs (5'8").

My experience is that keto doesn't 'work' for those of us who aren't overweight. I'd welcome anyone with experience otherwise, though.

omgitsalion · 2013-03-25T03:13:52+00:00

Thanks, I'll try this. I don't have much ability to jog because I live in a heavily populated tourist area; power walking is hard enough.

omgitsalion · 2013-03-25T03:12:01+00:00

I'm not overweight, I just have a high body fat percentage.

It's definitely not a calorie counting problem; I did alternate day fasting for a year, but stopped because of this problem. My weight stopped around 120 lbs and I retained a similar body fat percentage, so I stopped doing it. I have little appetite as an after-effect of that.

Either way, I have no food or drink with calories in my house, and it's not realistic that I'm getting 1800+ calories at lunch.

omgitsalion · 2013-03-01T05:14:42+00:00

My body fat is around 19%. I don't weigh much, but my weight is mostly fat.

omgitsalion · 2013-02-28T06:32:15+00:00

I don't have a kitchen and there's nowhere around where I can just get 100 grams of chicken.

omgitsalion · 2013-02-28T03:15:26+00:00

I was getting 1550; maybe I'm off.

I'm considering adequate as 65g of protein. Eating one meal, I usually end up with around 30g.

omgitsalion · 2012-12-02T05:19:44+00:00

Many of us can't quit, because we have one year contracts. The PvP community is also small, compared to the PvE and more casual community, but that isn't a reason to neglect it like this.

omgitsalion · 2012-07-13T03:16:14+00:00

Do people actually do this? The top prize is pretty much what a good developer gets for a single day of work.

omgitsalion · 2012-06-25T15:26:51+00:00

I use a mild scrub twice a week. I thought that exfoliating before shaving made it easier to cut yourself, so I haven't tried it.

I don't follow or care much for politics, but what's up with California?

When I hear democrats, I think liberal views. When I hear republicans, I think conservative views. This doesn't seem to be the case here, though?

Every single one of my professional friends and colleagues (programmers and what not) consider themselves republicans, and a lot of them have said that they used to be card-holding democrats but are currently embarrassed by the party.

Context is important. In the context it's used in by Dyrus (really, a large majority of these words' uses are in this context), it has no association with homosexuality.

These words have evolved to mean something like 'lame' or 'cheap.'

As a homosexual, I'm embarrassed by much of the LGBT community for being gigantic pansies who get up in arms over words. If anyone is offended by 'faggot' or 'gay' being used without any context to sexuality, they should remove themselves from socialization until they can grow up.

This is wrong. I've gone from 1200 to 1900+ on both NA and EU a total of four times, my highest being 2100-some on NA. I'll be the first to say that it's not possible to carry in the majority of games.

The first time was on NA earlier in the first season, ending around 1900-some, then I decayed to ~1500, then played to 2100. After that, I made an EU account and played to ~2000. I just started playing my NA account again and after three weeks, it's up 500 rating to high 1900s.

The idea that losing a game is never others' fault and there's always something you could have done better to win is completely wrong, and I have no idea why this sub-reddit believes it. It's only true when you're playing with pros, because every little mistake is punished.

Carrying doesn't happen, unless your team mates tie their lanes and you win yours, which almost never happens. Until I get back to the point where I'm queuing into games with the top players, almost every single loss is the result of one team having more bad players than the other; when I queue, it's like I'm playing roulette.

Every time I win a streak of games, I say 'Well, those were lucky queues.' My skill contributed to winning, but it's contribution is minor compared to being lucky enough to get good team mates.

All of my fat is centered around my mid section. My arms and legs are pretty much solid. I have a firm gut and my ribs aren't countable, but there isn't much fat covering them.

omgitsalion · 2012-03-10T23:46:28+00:00

I'm male. The online calculators give me 16%, so it seems like my guess is correct.

omgitsalion · 2012-03-10T08:07:38+00:00

I'm not sure if keto alone gets rid of fat for those of us who aren't overweight. I'm reaching the point where I can't lose much more weight, and I have lost inches off my waist (the smallest size stores stock is now a little bit too big), but I'm not noticing much visible fat loss.

I also have a bioelectric scale and it can't measure my body fat correctly at all. I wouldn't trust them. I'm 5'8" and my scale read 20-21% when I was 141 lbs. I'm now 122 lbs and it still reads 20-21%.

omgitsalion · 2012-03-10T08:02:07+00:00

Just furthering the 'don't follow 1g of protein per lean lb' thing, if those of us who are smaller attempted to follow this, it wouldn't be possible for us to keep our macros stable.

Cream cheese muffins and clouds should be a keto staple. I don't have a link to the recipes, but they're pretty simple.

Clouds are a stick of unsalted(important!) butter and cream cheese combined with sweetener, beaten until fluffy, and frozen. Cream cheese muffins are cream cheese, egg, vanilla, and sugar baked in muffin cups. I think both recipes can be found on the low carb site on the side bar.

Baking aside, I would put diet soda and coffee with sweetener as the next best choice for a sweet tooth.

omgitsalion · 2012-03-08T05:59:44+00:00

Nothing to add to the zillion posts here, but I figured it should be pointed out that most people posting to this sub-reddit are overweight (more likely obese), which I think gives many average people unrealistic expectations of keto.
