Do you track them? I used to just eat plain food. But, I bought "Half Salt". It has potassium, sodium chloride, and some calcium. I am just putting it on all my food now. I have a multi vitamin and magnesium supplement to get magnesium.
I am not sure if I should have keto aid once a week as well since putting a pinch of salt on everything isn't that much. I am guessing a pinch is 200-400 mg per meal.
I am on week one of keto diet. I usually poop daily. But, on the keto diet I have pooped not at all yet. Also how much fiber are y'all eating? I am at around 10g of fiber per day. I am mostly just hoping I do not have weird protein poops or need to buy laxatives each week.
Edit: day 5, finally had a bowel movement. Thanks for information everyone.
I found a report on some medical journal that tested making college age women do 10k steps a day, there were regular weight and obese girls in the study. The obese girls had significant improvement to their fat lipid profiles after completing 12 weeks of 10k per day.
I'm not really a college age girl :). Does anyone have some evidence or reports about starting a cardio program for Obese class 3 people? (40+ BMI.)
I went from 43.3 to 37.6 BMI so far. I started at completely sedentary (sit in chair all day.) I did 2 minute walks each day, then 5 minute walks, then 10 minute walks, up to 40 minute walks -- over a 2 month period. My back started to get radiculopathy (some sort of nerve compression in the spine) at this duration so I just did 40 minute walks for 2 more months after that. I had a 1800 TDEE while sedentary, I ate 1200 kcals per day and it was like 400 calories burned per walk. I did like a peanut butter sand which and a meal replacement drink as my meals, then 300 cal of peanuts as my snack -- kept full and mostly not mad at the diet -- this mostly was to get at least 60g protein per day, enough fat macro, amino acids, a multi-vitamin, vitamin c etc to hit all the bases.
For how this felt as a super fat guy, my legs and back felt very sore on the muscles and I stretched repeatedly throughout the day to make them feel better. My walking posture also changed in the first 2 months to stand up straighter and not tilt forward while walking (this caused my lat muscles to get very sore), I also bought new balance walking shoes (60% off ;). to help with foot sensations.
I tried to switch to 1 hour walks every other day to have a recovery day since the muscle stiffness was significant and just gave up on walking. But, I started dieting again and am going to walk again and see how it works out.
tldr: fat -> healthy with just walking and diet main questions:
Last October I started walking everyday because I was too fat to walk at Walmart without struggling. I walked for 4 months and was walking an hour a day for the last 2 months. But, I got my medical checkup and it was big check mark and I could walk at Walmart. I just sat on the couch again without regular exercise.
How do you stay committed to walking everyday? I was at home depot getting gardening supplies and felt totally out of shape again pushing my cart around. I'm walking again at 15 minutes a day, starting over. But, I would like to commit to it as a lifestyle change. I think having good cardio and joint mobility would make me happier. I feel old and out of shape when recovering. But, I am super fat still so I am always recovering from even 1 hour walks.
For example, a 8th generation American might say "I'm Irish, Italian, Spanish, and French" and then constantly tell people that and upvote memes related to these countries. However, they only say that cause their great-great-grand parents were from those countries and they actually have no social studies about these countries other than what American school teach them. But, the American will totally start a fight if someone disdains their heritage in front of them, even though they are not really apart of their heritage. That person is an American by culture, education, and socializing.
Do you know people who are really weird about heritage? I know some people and they only talk about heritage instead of existing cultures and I am not sure how to respond to people who view existing people only as their heritage/stereotypes.
For example, I am from Russian/German immigrants and am a 4th generation Canadian. My immigrant family members just drink booze and talk about rodeo stuff, so I am completely not related to German/Russia. But, this group of people will only talk to me about heritage memes like Stalin, Hitler, weird German food. Instead of Canadian stuff like Tim Horton's, Toronto, Drake, Justin Bieber. Is this racism?
I remember having depression as a kid, and I got 'You've got mail.' The para-social aspect of finding true love and having some jokes on the way really helped me in my time of darkness. Unfortunately, that time of darkness has just kind of been my whole life, haha no princess for me!
I still like the high fantasy of my life magically coming together with another person, and not just my cat. Do you feel unhappy about them? I have really hard apathy about comparing myself to everyone else. I'm stuck in the gutter and living in it.
Hi, does anyone else feel extremely unhappy and feel like they're in prison held together by their bedroom walls? Ever since I was a preteen I've felt so unhappy with the traumas of a broken home.. I started to become extremely obese in grade 2 and couldn't fit in at school. Eventually I switched schools in grade 3, but things didn't get any better. I was always the weird fat kid who couldn't understand social cues and make friends. My only salvation was Starcraft Broodwar where I could play online real time strategy games with other people anonymously that didn't know what an alien I had become. I've spent my life in my room after school. All my attempts to integrate failed. When school ended, I stopped leaving my room.
Mommy keeps feeding me and housing me. I don't know why. I should be homeless, out on the street. I get such bad panic attacks at my job interviews at Wendy's and the grocery store that I never make it to an actual job. I'm so mad at society. How great I could have been if I had a normal childhood and learned how to be a regular person instead of being shunned and isolated into my darkness. Mephisto from the other Blizzard franchise game known as Diablo 2 is extremely relatable in this sense as he was imprisoned for years by horadrim for who he was in the Travincal. He is known as the lord of hatred.
I hope some nephalems will come and free me one day. Until then I will be lurking with you guys.
I started drinking tea last week and got my first mate this week (mint flavor.) I am having about 2L of tea per day. I lost 10 pounds of edema (water retention) and my kidneys feel like they're getting massaged all day. Did anyone else get surprise benefits from drinking mate?
I used to just drink ice water 2-4L per day.
I am watching the linked video and made a custom level to jump on. But, I can't figure out the timing when to drop the switch in the air and jump off it.
It seems like the movie 50 first dates, with Adam Sandler, at this point. She doesn't know who I am anymore, I think she remembers her husband still. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced losing people they enjoyed the company of and are left with their husk. Well, to speak less plainly if there are games or puzzles we could play together to share the time they have left before it is too late for them. I don't know how many years there are remaining.
Here is an example translator from standard English to the grammar Uwuifier Translator
My back is too weak for my chest. When I walk my lat gets very strained on the right. I started bent over rows to strengthen it. I just have dumbells.
Do you have any lifts or stretches for lat muscle?
Everything I do just heats up the bucket, and the rat has no where to go but dig a hole through me. If I lay still, he sleep. If I activity he dig, the bucket get scorching hot, he escape through eating my heart and out my spine. It feel like being Sisyphus without having even transgressed the gods to get a curse like this.
I just like sitting and waiting for something to happen on social media. I read social media all day, but I comment 0.0000001% of the time compared to how much content I read. Was I ment to participate in life? Some times I wonder and get introspective about how I became a prisoner to my own room.
Are you social even though you're alone, or peace and quiet is what makes your life fulfilling?
