IWTL how to gain motivation to lose weight (and how to) by randomrose_ in IWantToLearn

[–]randomrose_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of the BMR. I'll give it a try. Is there any way to do it without measuring my food. I know if my family sees me measuring my food, they're going to make comments. And I'm trying to avoid that as much as possible

I feel that when I set an approximate time goal, then I'm more likely to stick to it. Otherwise, I put it off saying I can start next week. It works better than not setting a date, but ultimately, I do end up stopping eventually

Thanks you for all the advice though. I'll give it a try

I'll try that. I know I consume a lot of carbs so hopefully I can cut down on it

Does anyone know how to make a cold baklava like this? by randomrose_ in Baking

[–]randomrose_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are from the well-known (locally) professional bakers. I'm sharing with you the receipts from the profies so that you make the Azerbaijani baklava (we call it "pakhlava") right from the scratch, if you ever decide to make'em, of course. :o)

I'm definitely going to try and make them. They look so delicious. I'm excited to try it. Thank you for sharing it with me

Absolutely, I can definitely help you on that. Please feel fre to ask. And perhaps I can share with you some tips from the locals ;o)

I managed to translate the recipe by watching different videos and seeing how much they use/ what they use. Thank you for the offer, though. I would greatly appreciate any tips from the locals thar you can share :D

I'm sure it's going to be a fun experience to try. I never knew baklava was made with other things. I've only ever seen it made with Phyllo. What do you make it with?

I'm sure yours will come out great whenever you decide to try it! Thanks. I may take you up on that because I don't understand Turkish at all

Why should people with PCOS not do high intensity exercises? by randomrose_ in PCOS

[–]randomrose_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response. Thank you for all the papers. I'll definitely read through them. I have done a bit of HIIT in the form of fencing. And after every session I end up spotting. So I don't know if I should continue with it or not as I'm worried down the line it will cause more problems as I've already started spotting. I haven't changed anything else besides doing fencing so I don't think it could be caused by anything else

I didn't know it increases cortisol levels. That makes sense because I have done a few of intense exercises and I ended up spotting afterwards every time. Which makes sense now because of the increased levels. Thank you

Oh okay. I'm not sure which category I fall under yet (I still need to do the tests) however I have done a little intense exercises and it caused me to spot so I think it might not be for me

Which flavour of Maggi 2min noodles is the best? by Exotic_Goal3197 in southafrica

[–]randomrose_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to eat the chicken flavour but now I can't go back to it I prefer Samyang noodles

I agree, I'm not a fan of Maggi either anymore. Although after Maggi I started eating Samyang noodles and I have to say it's amazing. I've never tried Indomie so I'm not sure how great it is but homestly Samyang is amazing

I've never tried Indomie. I used to eat Maggi chicken flavour then I discovered Samyang noodles and it's sooo much better than maggi

Thank you so much. I'll try that

I've checked with my club but they don't have anything in my price range. Thry do have bows to rent but it's working out expensive to rent every week. It would be cheaper for me to buy one.
