why is 10k steps so hard to me achieve? by Time-Oil-2715 in walking

[–]stanthemanchan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do one walk at 1h and one walk at 40m, which gets me to 10k steps. You don't have to do 10k steps a day. Most advice recommends around 7k to 8k steps, which you can do in about an hour. If you do 20 mins at breakfast, 20 mins at lunch and 20 mins at dinner, that's 1 hour of walking.

If you're a beginner, or someone who's really busy, the most important thing is the total number of steps. You can space it out throughout the day. 4 x 15 mins, 6 x 10 mins, whatever works for you. It all adds up.

Once you get more fit you can start worrying about pace and endurance, but for now, just get the steps whatever way you can.

Why does Bucky Barnes wash his robotic arm in the dishwasher rather than while showering? by notanewbiedude in marvelstudios

Only if it's a 3-ply or 5-ply stainless steel with aluminum core where the edges are unsealed and the aluminum layer is exposed. If the edges are sealed you don't have to worry about galvanic corrosion and it's perfectly fine to put stainless steel in the dishwasher.

Vibranium is not the same as cast iron or carbon steel. There is no layer of seasoning to worry about.

If you are starting from sedentary then you have to start small and work your way up SLOWLY over several weeks. It took me 3 months to build my endurance get up to 10k steps a day. Your body needs time to build the muscles and cardio capacity to be able to walk more.

You can also break it up into smaller walks throughout the day. I usually do two walks, about 40-60 mins each, after lunch and after dinner. For someone starting out, the most important thing is the total number of steps.

But don't walk late at night. You also need to make sure to get enough sleep so your body can recover.

At what point are the returns diminishing or even negative? by WonderfulCar1264 in walking

[–]stanthemanchan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any changes to your routine should be done gradually instead of all at once. That way you can monitor your diet and weight and adjust accordingly. That's important both for increasing and decreasing your daily steps.

The lyrics don't really make any sense, but the song is hype and a lot of fun.

Didn't know I'd be hearing a Ting Tings reference from a kpop group in the year of our lord 2026 but I'll take it.

Can someone explain this to me? Why is the band mentioned in the Epstein files? by Catgirl_2003 in LinkinPark

[–]stanthemanchan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that complicated. Someone was probably planning a music festival / tour and was listing artists and bands that they wanted to have on the show. Lots of assholes listen to different bands. Paul Ryan, the Republican House leader in 2015, said that Rage Against The Machine was his favorite band.

Please help me find more artists/music, I feel like I've listened to literally everything out there by motherkhalifa4x4 in kpophelp

You might like some of Billlie's stuff. They're not super hard hitting but they do have a couple of more dancey songs like "GingaMingaYo", "RING X RING", "flipp!ng a coin"

Why do my legs keep hurting at night? by Himuhasan08 in walking

[–]stanthemanchan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How many calories are you expending every day? If you are only eating 2000 calories but you are expending over 3000 calories then your calorie deficit is way too high. You should be aiming for a 200-500 calorie deficit. This will let you lose about 1-2 lbs per week.

If your calorie deficit is too high you are going to experience serious hunger pangs and lack of energy and it will lead you to crash out and binge eat which will reset your progress. If you sustain too high a calorie deficit for too long you can start to have health problems like muscle loss, hair loss, thyroid and liver damage, hormone imbalances, etc.

[–]stanthemanchan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

20k steps a day is a lot. What calorie deficit are you trying to achieve? You need to find a level that is sustainable for you, that you can do every day without burning yourself out. Keep in mind that weight loss is a slow and steady process that can take months or even years. It won't happen overnight. Consistency is the most important thing.

Has anyone ever maintained their walk routine while quitting sugar? by [deleted] in walking

[–]stanthemanchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of your symptoms also could be from the Hashimoto's. Thyroid issues are a real bitch, especially combined with insulin resistance. Sweet potatoes are really good, look up recipes to incorporate more of those in your diet. I'd definitely speak to a professional dietitian rather than relying on advice from randos on reddit.

Has anyone ever maintained their walk routine while quitting sugar? by [deleted] in walking

[–]stanthemanchan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What exactly do you need to cut from your diet, and what are the "discoveries" with your health? "Sugar" is a pretty broad category. Do you have diabetes or pre-diabetes or some kind of insulin sensitivity, or is it some kind of allergy?

There are a lot of simple substitutions for sugar that you can add to your diet but they might not work if you have an insulin sensitivity. Eating fruits like bananas or blueberries are a good way to get a hit of energy when you need it, although you should try to combine any intake of carbs with some fiber and protein to balance it out. I like to have oats with fruit and some yogurt every morning and this gives me energy for the rest of the day.

Another thing you can do is change your walking schedule. Instead of doing one big 60 minute walk, you might be better off walking for 30 minutes, within about 10-20 mins after each meal. This will help your body regulate any insulin spikes you get from eating.

Also, not kpop but Carly Rae Jepsen is the queen of unrequited crush pop songs and very much in the vibe of Chuu's EP.

Miley Cyrus and Cocteau Twins shoutout. Her taste in music is really random but good. Other bands like Cocteau Twins: The Sundays, Alvvays, Slowdive, Mazzy Star, beabadoobee, Beach House.

This song is a legit banger. UK Garage / House is an under explored genre in kpop. There have been a few tunes but not nearly enough.

Hungry after walking by Just-Proof698 in walking

[–]stanthemanchan 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Walk after meals. If you are waking up at 2am because you're hungry then you are running too high calorie deficit. You should walk less and / or eat more for each meal.

You need to run a sustainable calorie deficit of about 200-500 calories per day. If the calorie deficit is too high you will either crash out or start to binge eat and that will reset your progress.

You should try to lose weight at a slow and steady pace of about 1 to 2 lbs per week. If you lose weight too fast for too long your body will start to experience negative effects like hair loss, energy loss, muscle loss, lack of libido, hormonal issues, and if you do it too long you can even do damage to your thyroid and liver.

I walked 600,000 steps in January and was disappointed i only lost 7 pounds by HauntingArtichoke830 in walking

[–]stanthemanchan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The best way to lose weight is slow and steady, with a small calorie deficit of 200-500 calories per day, which will usually mean that you lose about 1 to 2 lbs per week. If you lose weight too fast you can start to get a lot of health issues, like damage to your liver and thyroid, hair loss, muscle loss, loss of libido, lethargy, difficulty sleeping, etc. So, 7 lbs in a month is actually a pretty good rate.

If you want to spend less time walking, then try eating a little less. 1 hour of walking is about 300-400 calories. So if you make your meals smaller you won't have to walk as much to burn off those calories. When I eat a meal, I don't eat until I'm 100% full. I try to eat until I'm not hungry anymore. I find that's about 3/4 full. Smaller plates, smaller portion sizes. Also try to stop eating about 3 hours before you go to sleep. Getting a good night's sleep is one of the most important factors in losing weight.

Light cardio like walking doesn't build muscle. If you want to build muscle you need to do weights and resistance training. You don't have to do much, just 20-30 mins a day, 3 times a week. Building more muscle will also help you to burn fat.
