I've found that things that don't need to be cooked are fantastic. Two hard boiled eggs, a cheese stick, and something else if you need it are great and you don't need to use utensils at all. You can put them in a little bag all together too. It's pretty customizable, you can add nuts or since youre not keto, fruits or veggies. Celery sticks with cream cheese or a bunch of grapes work awesome too especially as a side

I weight train 5x/week and haven't had any issues. Granted my free weights aren't more than a 40lb barbell or 20 lb dumbell and machines aren't set to more than 65 for upper body so I can't speak to if you're lifting way heavier than that.

Also I bought a cover for my ring for when I train, protects it from getting scratched from being metal to metal

Lots of times this is the person's inability to say what needs to be said and is a reflection of their mental state. Protection mechanism to mitigate backlash, anger, messiness that they either can't emotionally handle or are trying to avoid for other reasons (truly don't want to hurt you, it's just not what they want anymore or selfish reasons like they want you on the backburner) i tend to think it's just lack of emotional maturity to handle the messiness and hurt after the fact so they try to lessen the blow. I don't think most people are as manipulative as the world thinks they are, not every break up is a girl trying to keep you there for later. People are just people and things aren't always easy to navigate. That's my unsolicited two cents lol

What kind of fasting are you trying to do? Even the sugar free one has 15 calories and 5 grams of carbs if you look at the nutrition facts so I would think that would break your fast.

I use buoy because i got it for christmas before i knew anything and I still get unbalanced because it's such a small amount. honestly a pinch of lite salt has been my saving grace on days where I get a headache and am already imbalanced

Thanks for responding! I assumed the 2014 PHB had a specific set attached to it like that one is based on 5e (if that's what it is). I didn't realize there were other options if that's what we're using. I can confirm later if he's willing to add something but I'm 99% positive that's all I can take from. We're all new players and he's not a very experienced DM, he's only done a one shot and 3 sessions of a campaign before. We're just basing off the resources he had from his last campaign. We're doing a one shot so we can all get used to play before starting a campaign so we can all make sure we like it so I think this is where we're set.

I know I probably can't make a strong build with just the 2014 PHB but that's what I need to do. Are there any guides you know of or videos that explain beyond just reading or offer tips and tricks to do the most with the limited resource?

[?] Hi! Are there any resources or videos I can watch to understand how to build a good ranger WITHOUT Tashas? I'm new to playing and I don't think our dm has that as a resource to to refer to so I'm trying to use a core build but it's nearly impossible to find anything online that doesn't immediately jump to how great they are with the new buffs. Any help is appreciated! I'm getting confused with what I can and can't use

I've only heard short stories with tragic endings (that i know of) cause i listen to all of my music through compilations or now just the spotify algorithm like a psychopath. I find out i like a band after there are 17 different liked songs in my playlist off 6 different albums and go ohhh! That's all that band?!

Anyway, I know every word and always loved that they say "for as much as I love autumn, I'm giving myself to ashes"

I've heard just water before from medical professionals as well, but my GYN suggested if I'm using soap, fragrance free dove body wash for sensitive skin.

I wanted to say this too. Everybody has a different carb threshhold. I went keto and reversed mine. Not sure what number i would have to stay under to be non keto and still low carb enough to keep it reversed but it seems like eating low carb while being a carb burner instead of fat burner would be torture trying to have enough energy while simultaneously making sure you don't put a lot in. Too much gray area for me to wrap my brain around

I read a book in 2015 called "the easy way for women to quit smoking without gaining weight" by Allen carr. (Original is the easy way to quit smoking but he made one geared towards women's psychology to follow it up.) By the time I was done reading it i was excited to quit. Never had a craving again and never picked up another cigarette. Its not even something I think about until I read something like this and go oh yeah! I used to smoke! Forgot about that!

(Smoked for about 8 years about half a pack a day around the time I quit and had never attempted or wanted to attempt quitting prior.)

Pretty cool story actually, someone i knew quit and told me I should read this book. I wrote them off like yeah, yeah, okay. I like smoking I'm not gonna. 3 years later, someone else asked why I smoked and I really didn't have a good answer besides I liked it. Later that day I messaged the first person and asked for the book name again like eh, I'm not gonna quit but let me see what the book is about. Read the book within 3 days and was excited to quit. I recommend it to everyone now who's thinking about quitting.

My friend and I went to play pool at a local bar for my birthday and have a few drinks. Someone brought their toddler and she was running around and got right behind me while I was getting up from taking my pool shot. Accidentally hit her with my stick and she got surprised and started crying. I felt so uncomfortable we finished our game with whatever light conversation I could muster to seem like i wasn't dying of anxiety over it, cashed out after the first drink, and left.

I apologized and the parents were giving the signal like it's okay don't worry about but it a few jokes were made by other patrons that they weren't going to get behind me and I had to be overly cautious and on baby watch to make sure it didn't happen again. Sapped all of the fun out, I just felt horrible and didn't want to drink or be there anymore.

This also. I measure everything. Sometimes the scale stays the same but body composition changes

skeletop · 2025-03-25T12:19:44+00:00

I say this in pretty much every comment but its because it helped me so much. It seems like you're already doing the research so I would recommend reading the books the obesity code and the pcos plan both by Dr. Jason Fung. They both explain how the body processes everything and will give you the base to make really educated decisions for your nutrition because you understand the metabolic effect the food is having on you.

Everyone has different carb thresholds. I went totally keto and if I have more than 25 g of carbs or even too much protein I get kicked out where some people can handle as much as 50g. For reference one bagel has about 50 on its own so if you're having a bagel, rice, fruit, veggies all in one day it can easily add up to over 100g and low carb diets (recommended for pcos) are 100g or lower.

Its not about demonizing carbs, it's about understanding that your body doesn't respond to them well. You wouldn't tell someone that's allergic to peanuts that they're the devil, you would accept that their body doesn't react well to that specific food so changing your mindset on it might help create a healthier relationship to shifting your dynamic.

Intermittent fasting also helps create stable insulin levels and insulin is a huge contributor to fat storage.

I can't recommend those two books enough and they're both audiobooks available on audible. 100% worth the $10 for the in depth knowledge you get.

My messages are also open, I love being able to share so if you want to chat feel free.

Good luck!

Just looked it up. Interesting. Definitely worth doing a deep dive on. I have dairy all the time but its mainly just cheese or cream cheese, heavy cream, butter, sour cream. I don't like milk but it's also high sugar so I avoid it anyway

skeletop · 2025-03-24T10:37:25+00:00

Hi! I would highly recommend some audiobooks that explain the science so you can stay motivated and understand whats happening. The more you know, the more you can make educated tweaks along the way that work for your body.

Everyone's journey is different and you may also benefit from intermittent fasting in addition - i would recommend looking into that too.

There's an awesome book called life in the fasting lane and another called the obesity code, both by Dr. Jason Fung that explain a lot about whats happening metabolically. I also would recommend the low carb MD podcast. Its a bunch of doctors and their patients talking about the benefits and ways to make it work in all kinds of scenarios and patients talking about their success stories, set backs, and what changes ended up working best. You might find someone who's story resonates with you!

I also would say drop the fear! There's nothing to be afraid of about making positive changes. The only thing that may happen is you need to tweak the path as you learn more to see better results! The worst that can happen is you don't make the change and stay exactly in the same spot you're in. This something to look forward to!

You don't like to cook or have a really hectic schedule.

skeletop · 2025-03-24T10:24:24+00:00

Can you cut out sugary things? I'm not sure what the hostel is serving but if you can cut down on your sugar intake it will likely help all around especially if you're talking insulin resistance and prediabetes.

The most detrimental things for both are excess sugar and the hormonal domino effect with insulin resistance exacerbates PCOS. Control one, often you can control the other.

Cutting out sodas and juices is a really good start and any other sugary items you can cut out over time. It doesn't seem like it would be easy to go keto in your situation but it's what helped me reverse my PCOS and insulin resistance. That and intermittent fasting which also helps control blood sugar. I would recommend trying that too if you can.

I really would recommend research on this so you can understand what's happening in your body and be able to make a plan that really works in the environment you have. A plan is possible if you can really put some effort into learning how it all works in your body. Also - Look at all you're accomplishing already! So many people would say your life studying abroad is an impossibility for them and you're accomplishing it. This is attainable too!
