the phrase "do the needful" is stereotypically associated with indian english and is sometimes used to make fun of indian people. It seems worse in this context since it follows another indian stereotype, which is about marriage. However I think reno is indian himself...

Butter chicken is modern British food that got popularized as Indian food.
Later some restaurants in India started claiming themselves as the originator
I remember as a kid this was never on any Indian menu, in fact the first time I ate butter chicken was in Japan and 5-6 years after that it started showing up on menus in India

[sage geode]

All exercise helps everything, so tangentially...
Sorry to hear about your blubber-engorged livers.

You must reduce glycemic response to help your liver. Your liver makes the chemicals to process some excess carbs into cholesterol or other bad fats. This is oxidizing and the stress on the organ of this can show up as the fats. Please simply try higher fiber appetizers in order to blunt glycemic response of your main meal. Also Intermittent fasting eating style can help. If you're hardcore, try keto?

Get wife to count calories, for you. Saves the annoying part of weight loss.

[radiant verge]

Try using a calorie counter, pup. I use MyFitnessPal and it's decent

It'll help you figure out where you might get unwanted cals from

[lusty matrix]

yeah but I eat a lot of east asian foods that don't have accurate calorie amounts on calorie counter apps

[radiant verge]

I think the ingredients for the meal would probably be on there, and maybe you can add those ingredients and their information

[lusty matrix]

how much calories is in mango lassi and chai latte

[radiant verge]

I haven't done it myself but I think that could potentially work

[lusty matrix]

hmm home-cooked food and restaurant food don't typically list calories though, and then adding all the ingredients is a loooot of work

[radiant verge]

It varies depending on how its made, but I think it's 200-300 cals give or take

[lusty matrix]

i am so hungry all the time

[coral siren]

My take is don't drink your calories.

stick to water, then you can have more delicious solids.

Tip 2: I buy a ton of organic vegetables. 1 meal a day can be 100% cut up tomatoes, zuccini, goats cheese, and great salad leaves or potatoes at home.

Lemon juice and pepper salad dressing. Or other strongly flavoured dressing like soy.

It's a lot easier to eat healthy if your fridge is jam packed with healthy.

[lusty matrix]

oh i usually drink water except bubble tea

however today was an exception

because my $12 dinner subsidy doesn't cover any solid food since all the food is $15

so the only thing i could afford for $12 was the two drinks for $5.50 each

and in fact i was planning to give those to my cousins in law but my manager told me to do extra work so i drank the chai

[regal bluff]

swimming was a real fat burner for me, natural water maybe more as its colder (?) .

[lusty matrix]

am i allowed to drink milk

[radiant verge]

yea, try to see if there's other milk's that have a lower fat, more protein, lower sugar etc..

I usually get Fairlife, since they have a fat-free option:

[lusty matrix]

oh yeah i got chobani ultra filtered which is the same thing (less sugar, lactose free, more protein)

[coral siren]

Keep in mind that milk is designed by nature.

For fattening up babies.

Milk is healthy but it's kinda what you drink after you've run a marathon.

It's what I have if I forget to each breakfast and lunch haha

[gray citrus]

cant go wrong with soy milk

tbh more fiber will help you feel more full

and higher protein diet whenever possible

[elfin gate]

Do you have weekly goals puppy? it's about -500 calorie deficit a day to lose a pound a week

[lusty matrix]

oh no i have a 1000 calorie surplus per day right now

[lusty matrix]

hmm yes metamucil before each meal

[gray citrus]

oh noes

time to donate all ur bubble tea to me

taht should help

and it will help me with my weight gain goals!

[junior fossil]

Or just work out more

Not to say you shouldn’t cut back on the boba lol

[elfin gate]

Can't out run a bad diet unless puppy wants to train to be a marathon runner

[lusty matrix]

my diet is extremely delicious though

[coral siren]

Working out is of nonzero importance haha. But it doesn't cut calories, more about feeling good.

IMO it's 100% just figuring out a delicious hi-gi diet. Focus on introducing new meals you love, that are healthy.

[misty furnace]

I used to drink fairlife but I read bad things about them so I switched to other organic brands

[misty furnace]

relatable tbh... I think learning to tolerate hunger and realizing it's often a psychological thing helps a lot. Idk like fasting is pretty useful

[junior fossil]

Intermittent ftw

[stone cloak]

Mashallah everyone should fast

[misty furnace]

I need to fast tbh. maybe do a multiday fast

[split hazel]

Why 2 minutes? Why not 5 min warm-up, N core workout minutes (increasing over time as you get fitter), and then a cooldown? Regardless of your fitness level, you can do the warm-up & cooldown

[lusty matrix]

cuz my code takes 2 minutes to compile

jk

i'm just lazy

[split hazel]

In a best case scenario, you will burn 10 kcal in those 2 minutes. If diligent, you will lose 1 pound in approximately 1 year

A more aggressive plan of action will likely be needed

[lusty matrix]

hmm my apple health app says i will burn 30 kcal in 2 minutes

[split hazel]

Only if you're going hard for those 2 minutes. But you can't go from 0 to hard in 120 seconds unless you're already warmed-up.

[lusty matrix]

oh ok

[marble bolt]

Have you tried If?

[lusty matrix]

what's lf?

[radiant verge]

I think it's intermiddant fasting but no clue

[lusty matrix]

oh i thought that was a lowercase L lol

since the f is lowercase

i used to just forget to eat when i was single

[marble bolt]

Whoops yea

You just try eat every bit within a window say a 4 hour window say 12 pm and 4 pm

Or 12 and 5

The fasting has other benefits like autophagy as well

[junior fossil]

A 20-4 schedule might be tough

initially

but yeah something along those lines

[lusty matrix]

oh ok

[marble bolt]

I’m planning on that just for the mind clarity

[lusty matrix]

is paleo good for weight loss

[split hazel]

@lusty matrix: when dieting, people have to figure out what works individually for them. I think 'paleo' as a narrative is inane, but some people find it's easier to stick to their diet when their stomachs are filled with protein and fat. The same goes for 'keto'

So, if it works for you, then keep at it. I don't recommend ultra low carb diets, though (keto). It may as well be called "The Brain Starvation Diet"

[elfin gate]

I think your best bet is calorie counting

Although I've heard of a trend of people focusing on eating stuff high in volume but low in calories to ease hunger. But I'm not sure if that's pseudo science or not

[split hazel]

I would fill up on vegetables and drink mint tea to help control my appetite (it worked)

I had an overweight coworker who switched from pizza and donuts throughout the day to eating a bin of raw vegetables from 9-5. He dropped from 200 to 160 lbs

[narrow forum]

when i lost like ~100 pounds some years ago, i did a combination of intermittent fasting and keto. so paleo is probably fine if you enjoy it. but i think the most important thing was the counting of calories and macros. i don't do keto anymore and just make sure im keeping a nice balance within my calorie budget, but this naturally tends to be 50g carbs or less. no reason to burn out on any diet you don't enjoy, as you want to make a lifestyle change and not just a short-term one, i think

[split hazel]

no reason to burn out on any diet you don't enjoy, as you want to make a lifestyle change and not just a short-term one

[split hazel]

I found that drinking hot liquid helped suppress my appetite a bit. This was when I was taking things to an extreme and got down to below 5% bodyfat, so I was using every trick I could come up with.

[elfin gate]

I like to skip meals and eat 2 instead of 3 meals a day.

I think it's a good way of cutting calories

[split hazel]

@lusty matrix: You're looking for something in the realm of normality. I think a small shift in your diet (cutting back on fatty meats, having a few more vegetables on your plate, having 1 portion of fruits & vegetables as a snack each day) paired with some light cardio will get you to where you want to be. You'll also be able to integrate these things into your regular day-to-day going forward.

[lusty matrix]

[junior fossil]

Possibly

[stone cloak]

those dishes aren't empty so no

at least 1 cal there

[coral siren]

Paleo good

Delicious + low glycemic index

[split hazel]

@lusty matrix: bok choy yes, shrompz aren't bad (better to grill than to fry in a lot of oil, though)

[lusty matrix]

hmm I don't think that was fried in a lot of oil though

[amber steppe]

Definitely a lot easier to control your calories and probably more filling than a lot of filler foods (e.g. chips, cereal) but still gotta keep the portions in mind

Although I did hear that shrimp, while it has a ton of protein and very low fat and carbs in comparison, tends to be high in cholesterol so do keep that in mind

[amber steppe]

I personally tend to go 1/4 chickpeas, 1/4 kidney beans, 1/4 shrimp, and 1/4 chicken breast just to balance it out, fill the rest of the box with mixed veggies, and then fill soup cup with fruit. I gotta control my sweet tooth more though, because it's soo easy for me to just load up on desserts after all that

[split hazel]

[lusty matrix]

oh no i ate carbs for breakfast

is egg salad sandwich good for weight loss

[lusty matrix]

ok I ended up just eating the egg salad and not the bread

scooped out the egg salad with chopsticks

[coral siren]

Remember

the key is finding good food like paleo

not guilt over bad food

Additive mindset

[lusty matrix]

oh i didn't eat the bread not because of guilt but rather because it was soggy and i couldn't bite through it

now i'm eating mini tomatoes

[split hazel]

@lusty matrix: tomatoes good, egg salad bad (lots of mayo == oil), egg salad on cheesy bread is worse

did you do a bit of cardio (say, walking)?

[lusty matrix]

nope

[split hazel]

I just finished a single cardio working (stair machine: 1315 steps in 20 mins + additional cooldown, peak HR just under 180bpm). Despite the intensity, 20 mins is nothing, so I probably only burned something like 225 kcal.

If you can squeeze-in even a 15 min walk each evening, you'll be rewarding yourself with a few calories burned, and a little exercise for your circulatory and respiratory systems

Nightly Walk For Success (NWFS)

[lusty matrix]

oh ok i just exercised for 2 minutes

hmm exercising is so much work

oh no i'm sweating

[split hazel]

I found that, when I was still doing my double cardio workouts (60m), I had to break the 5 min mark to get past the "I don't want to do this" threshold. Maybe find that threshold for yourself and see at what point you start feeling like, "ok, let me keep going for a bit."

You might find out you only have 2 mins of cardio in you, but you'll rapidly make progress if you do this every day (and add 15-30 seconds every day or two)

[lusty matrix]

oh ok

if i row really fast then after rowing 500 m (around 1 minute 50 seconds) i start seeing lightning and my muscles get sore due to lactic acid

[split hazel]

The resistance on a rowing machine is non-linear. Going from 120s to 115s on a 500m sprint will be noticeable
https://www.forgevalleyfitness.com/post/a-guide-to-finding-your-perfect-rowing-pace

Maybe peel it back a bit in terms of intensity, but increase the distance. Don't want to be seeing stars.

@lusty matrix: salmon and steamed bok choy = pro

the salmon is overcooked, though (albumin is squeezing out)

I did rigorous calorie counting for a month. This helped me in 2 ways:

1. I learned the protein/fat/carb content of everything I ate
2. Since I weighed everything, I got a sense of volume vs. calories for different foods

It's hard to look at a bowl of corn flakes and know how many grams you have unless you've weighed it at least once. But then you will discover the volume of 1 serving greatly varies depending on whether you're eating the big flakes at the top of the box, or the crushed flakes at the bottom.

This is a distraction for you, though. You're just trying to lose a few pounds while in a totally normal weight range / body composition. As long as your conscious of your intake and do a little exercise, you're on a good path

[lusty matrix]

hmm yeah it's fully cooked but it was very tender and moist and flavorful (as opposed to some people's overcooked salmon that's very dry)

[split hazel]

If you ever get a chance, try sous vide salmon (110F), then pan fry it skin side down to make the skin crispy. The fat and skin aren't going to do your diet any favours, but it's a small thing.

[lusty matrix]

the fat and skin are the most delicious

and will do my diet a favor by motivating me to keep living

[coral siren]

Salmon is very easy to look cooked on the outside

but super duper raw in the middle

IMO any salmon will look like that on the outside

Because you have to sear the outside a bit to get the middle warmed up, even if you slow cook it

[lusty matrix]

jerk chicken with vegetable

[stone cloak]

Hey that’s not nice

Why are you calling the chicken a jerk

[radiant verge]

he's making it cry to increase his sodium intake

[split hazel]

yes, except for what appears to be avocado trying to hide under the leaves 🥑 🥷🏽

[lusty matrix]

there's no avocado; there's rice though

and there's some yellow sauce

rowed again but slower

somehow i feel like the rowing machine at home is harder than the one at work

[stone cloak]

🚣‍♂️

[lusty matrix]

is this good for weight loss

also I'm hungry halp

[cobalt finch]

Well, you're going to have to be hungry to lose weight

[lusty matrix]

oh no i'm hungry even after drinking a water

[elfin gate]

Embrace the hunger

[junior fossil]

Eat celery

[stone cloak]

😋

[lusty matrix]

I accidentally threw away the soy sauce

so I don't have the copious amounts of sodium to mask the taste of unfresh fish

[stone cloak]

Yeah but now your sodium intake will decrease

Your purple blood pressure thanks you

[lusty matrix]

thanks to not having soy sauce my blood pressure is now down to 107/70

at this rate it will soon be 0

unfortunately the blood pressure monitor failed to connect to the internet today

so I had to take this janky photo

[elfin gate]

Ok but what about your weight goals

[lusty matrix]

oh still fat

actually my weight didn't change

[lusty matrix]

i just went to the rowing machine but there was a person in the room containing the rowing machine so i left without rowing

[junior fossil]

If you have to ask...

[lusty matrix]

is this good for weight loss

[lusty matrix]

I heard pizza only has 250 calories

pretty healthy

I ordered salad for dinner

[junior fossil]

Just eat handfuls of spinach throughout the day and then you can eat whatever you want at night

[elfin gate]

Is that bacon

[lusty matrix]

no

that's ahi tuna

[split hazel]

This is a fraud of a salad

a fralad

[split hazel]

Is that egg drop soup with meat in it?

[lusty matrix]

that's beef with egg drop starch

滑蛋牛肉

[split hazel]

that is the worst name ever

[lusty matrix]

it's a pretty apt name, the egg is very slippery and there is beef in it

it has rice underneath

rice mixed with slippery egg:

[split hazel]

some of these textures... >.<

[jagged kayak]

Purple puppy, you should try climbing

Super fun and it's a good workout

you might gain weight from converting fat to muscle tho...

[junior fossil]

a good problem

[lusty matrix]

hmm climbing sounds like a lot of work

[junior fossil]

Think of it more like a physical puzzle

It’s work in the same way a game is…except you tend to be really tired after lol

[gray citrus]

Feed me @lusty matrix

I will help with ur weight loss by eating all ur food

[lusty matrix]

is this good for weight loss

[elfin gate]

Only if you get it with no sugar and no milk

[gray citrus]

And no boba

It's so starchy

[lusty matrix]

is this good for weight loss

[gray citrus]

If you gave it to me then it is 0 calories

So yes

[lusty matrix]

it is also zero calories if I don't give it to you though

[coral siren]

I think you need to post when you eat good things for weight loss mr purple puppy

Seems like a junk food slideshow so far haha.

Where is salmon poke bowl

[elfin gate]

This is suppose to be a weight loss thread?

[lusty matrix]

yellow foods

[coral siren]

Is egg pancake healthy? Egg pancake is milk plus flour plus veggies iirc. Close Enuff.

hmm, what is that top right

[lusty matrix]

油条, which is just fried dough

the left one is corn pancake

[coral siren]

flour egg corn seems 5/10

fried dough, tsk tsk

[lusty matrix]

vegetable

[gray citrus]

can we rename this to purple puppy weight gain adventures

@junior fossil

[carmine parcel]

how else would he spend his money?

[lusty matrix]

weight gain adventures

also i had 4 cantonese desserts in one day

coconut sago, black sesame, soy pudding, and durian sago

[gray citrus]

Feed me ;-;

Save a hungry floofy pup and gain 10 years good luck

[lusty matrix]

if you were on the rower an hour before

[carmine parcel]

how does he eat so much fancy food every single day

[carmine parcel]

first picture: it's prepared for wasting the sides? why are there cuts only for the sides

[lusty matrix]

idk but i ate those

[carmine parcel]

good pup

[green owl]

Umm... I'm not seeing many weight loss updates in this thread.

[unborn furnace]

Show us the scale purple puppy

the people demand it

[lusty matrix]

oh no after i started eating the crab my hands got dirty and i couldn't take pictures of the rest of the food

[elfin gate]

Where is the rest of the duck

Thats like 1/3 of a bird at most

[lusty matrix]

the rest of the duck got diced up and stir fried and we ate it by wrapping in lettuce

[jagged kayak]

it's a puzzle for sure

easier ones will pretty much require minimal strength and thoughts

that's how they get ya hooked

soon, you'll have problems that require some strength and more technique

you start having fun, gaining slight bit of muscle before you realize it, and boom you're a month into it

then it hits, problems that require more strength

at that point, you're having too much fun climbing that now you're actually motivated to work out and improve strength

all so that you can climb better

if you're in the bay area, we can go bouldering at dogpatch 🙃

[carmine parcel]

Oh hi, fellow climber! :)

What were your strongest onsights?
I got a 5.11c lead on-sight in Smith Rock, and a few V7 at indoor bouldering gyms (I haven't done enough outdoor bouldering to know how well that translates).
Went really close to a flash on 5.11d at Rumney just 2 weeks ago.

Climbing is absolutely the most wonderful sport to get the entire body in shape, while also developing your mental game and getting some adrenaline fixes

[lusty matrix]

omg i gained 3 kg

wtf

from 83 to 86

[marble bolt]

Did you weigh at the same time of day last time?

Before / after eating

[lusty matrix]

nope

[junior fossil]

Then yeah take these numbers with a fistful of dollars salt

It’s best to weigh yourself in the morning

[lusty matrix]

previously i weighed myself in the afternoon after eating and i was lighter then

this time i weighed myself in the morning after pooping

[junior fossil]

Still just two data points taken under different circumstances

You can’t project out much from that

[unborn furnace]

Even weighing myself after waking up at the same time every day, the scale can swing by like 5lbs day to day

[carmine parcel]

PP needs to start pumping out some graphs
and maybe some ML model to help him make good eating decisions

[lusty matrix]

cheap sushi

[jagged kayak]

I started this year so I haven't gotten the chance to do outdoor yet xd

but i've been doing occasional V4 and regular V3's-- looking to get better xd

[jagged kayak]

"cheap sushi"

what'd you do with the real purple puppy

[lusty matrix]

cucumber noodle

[lusty matrix]

oh no i am so fat and i keep snoring really loudly and preventing my wife from sleeping

[radiant verge]

pup snore

have you gone to a sleep doctor

[lusty matrix]

yeah they recommended an injection snoreoplasty thing but i got covid so i didn't go to my appointment

and now it is 5 months later so idk how to schedule the appointment again

they also only take appointments by telephone instead of the kaiser app

[cobalt finch]

are you going to eat all of that

[unborn furnace]

I would

I'd feel ill and regret it later, but I would

[cobalt finch]

so you know pp is going to as well

[elfin gate]

Mmmm seaweed salad

Is there sauce for the salmon

[lusty matrix]

yup soy sauce vinegar and sesame oil

[coral siren]

That's really good!

[lusty matrix]

i guess purple puppies are just destined to snore for anatomical reasons

i hiked this thing yesterday

[carmine parcel]

leave that dirt bag behind

pp, I'll refer you at Meta

[lusty matrix]

i forgot to bring my lunch

so i have to eat pringles

life is hard

and meaningless

I was extremely excited about my lunch, which was relatively healthy and composed of a collection of small eels, but I forgot to bring it to work and left it at home instead

sigh

[radiant verge]

Try to set reminders on your phone

[lusty matrix]

oh no but my wife tells me to not look at my phone all the time

[radiant verge]

you dont have to look at all the time, maybe set a timer on your phone, leave a sticky note at your desk or by your bedside

[lusty matrix]

I think today was just because it's my first day back from my week long vacation

so I forgot my regular routine

also there were a bunch of people in the house trying to install my fridge

[unborn furnace]

are those popsickle sticks used as chopsticks?

[lusty matrix]

no they are coffee stir sticks. they make very bad chopsticks since they flex a lot

[unborn furnace]

you need to keep emergency chopsticks on your desk

[lusty matrix]

i had a pair of disposable emergency chopsticks but i used them during an emergency

[unborn furnace]

I keep a pair of non-disposable chopsticks permanently in my bag

[lusty matrix]

oh good idea

[lusty matrix]

oh no i gained weight and i'm back in the high blood pressure zone

blood pressure used to be 107/70

omg so dizzy after rowing for 2 minutes

[native dune]

It gets easier the more you do it, pp!! Also if it’s an option and you aren’t already, consider daily low-intensity exercise like walking to burn calories too? 頑張って ください !!

[lusty matrix]

is this good for weight loss?

[lusty matrix]

is that a parantha as a tortilla

or is it an actual tortilla

[lusty matrix]

it's a 手抓饼 which is basically identical to a paratha or a roti prata or roti canai

[split hazel]

It looks like a roti canai with sliced hot dog & toasted sesame seeds inside

[lusty matrix]

yeah it also has pork floss and kewpie mayo inside

[split hazel]

and hoddog

[lusty matrix]

and that's no ordinary hotdog, it's a 双汇王中王

Also yeah I reccomend swimming 💯💯💯 quickest, most fun way to lose weight

[vast charm]

oh wow

the erg is pure pain

[radiant verge]

seafood and greens

[split hazel]

@lusty matrix: why does that look like a hybrid between a porterhouse and a ribeye 🧐

[lusty matrix]

it's a ribeye, not sure hwy it looks like that

[split hazel]

Interesting.

I noticed you didn't ask us if it's good for weight loss. Lemme help you: no, it is not.

[lusty matrix]

I thought it's low in carbs

[split hazel]

Also, you can't cut a steak with a butter knife

not even a cauliflower steak

Actually, that's a good idea. Try a cauliflower steak, possibly breaded with panko crumbs and herbs (dodge the deep fried strategy)

[loud dagger]

at least this doesnt have carbs

so its kinda good?

[split hazel]

Carbs aren't inherently bad. It's just that some people don't handle quick upticks in insulin release / find themselves better satiated with a high-protein, high-fat diet. Lots of people can manage good appetite control with a high-carb diet.

if your carbs are just plain sugars, then that's inherently bad, yes

[lusty matrix]

actually the knife is one of these: https://www.fortessa.com/constantin-silver-flatware-sets-5pps-107-05

and it cut through the steak very easily

furthermore the steak was previously cooked sous vide

so it was very tender

[split hazel]

those spoons look like they'd hurt my mouth. Spoons should be narrow to accommodate my mouth.

Those spoons are pro-weight-loss

https://youtu.be/fKIwj1TQmFs

[lusty matrix]

meh so even if the steak is half pound and has 700 calories, I had relatively few calories throughout the rest of the day

[split hazel]

how many bubble teas

[lusty matrix]

0 today

[split hazel]

You don't snack throughout (at all) between meals?

[lusty matrix]

not today anyways

[split hazel]

well if you can manage to just have 3 larger meals with nothing in between, then that's pretty good

[lusty matrix]

[stone cloak]

[split hazel]

@lusty matrix: I will do 75 pushups for each 1 lb of weight you lose. Will do them as sets of 5x15 with increasing pauses between sets (20 - 90s)

an additional 15 push-ups will be added for each 4lb milestone of weight loss

if you get fit, I get fit. It's a double win. a twin win. a twwin.

[lusty matrix]

today morning i'm only 82.6 kg

[split hazel]

what's the goal weight?

[lusty matrix]

75 kg

[radiant verge]

I can't do as many pushups as that, but I'll try to do 30 for each pound you lose pp

I'll join you both

[split hazel]

ok, 16.75lb, so I'll be doing 135 pushups (11x15) by the end of this. Well, I guess I did this to myself.

LET'S DO THIS, LEEEERRRROOOOYYYYYYY MMMJJEENNNKKIIIINNSSSSSS

[lusty matrix]

oh no I ate a whole panda express family meal for 4 people

[radiant verge]

How does that happen

[lusty matrix]

not sure

actually I lied I shared it with 2 coworkers but they ate very little

[lusty matrix]

oh no i'm so sleepy

[native dune]

Do you have time to go for a short walk rn, pp?? Or if you work from home doing your daily rowing

[lusty matrix]

I can go to the gym at work for rowing

[native dune]

With all of the extra carbs in you rn you can get a good short workout in!

I’m trying to lose 1 lb a week and whenever I eat more than I should have I work out a bit extra that day. Do your best!

[lusty matrix]

ok i went to the gym but someone else was sitting on the rowing machine

then i tried walking outside but it's 35 degrees C

which is 308 K

which is too hot

[loud dagger]

running machine?

[lusty matrix]

oh that's dangerous, dave goldberg died from that: https://www.cnn.com/2015/05/06/health/goldberg-treadmill-accident-cases/index.html

[loud dagger]

jumping jacks?

cycling machine

[lusty matrix]

oh no I've already depleted my daily exercise motivation

[marble bolt]

Run outside in the sun tbh

[elfin gate]

Wait

That's like at least 3000 calories

[lusty matrix]

kung pao chicken: 240 kcal
fried rice: 470 kcal
broccoli beef: 120 kcal
honey walnut shrimp: 370 kcal

hmm

actually idk how the sizes here compare to the servings on the panda express website

[elfin gate]

Ain't no way Kun pao chicken is 240 calories

[loud dagger]

fun fact a pad thai is like 1k calories

[elfin gate]

Hmm these entree calories are suspiciously low

[loud dagger]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PandaExpress/comments/sq8ydo/are_the_calorie_listed_on_the_family_meal_wrong/

these guys say its at least 2k

[lusty matrix]

[native dune]

In the app, pp’s order comes out to 1840 calories

Assuming 2 fried rice as the side, 3 entrees as the other things listed and no drinks or extras

Fried rice x2 = 520, honey walnut shrimp 360, broccoli beef 150, kung pao chicken 290

I haven’t had Panda Express in a really long time so I can’t verify if these numbers are suspiciously low

[loud dagger]

but how is kung pao chicken 290 cals

[native dune]

Is it just chicken and veggies or is there a really thick sauce on top of it? Peanuts can also add a lot of calories

[split hazel]

A- (unless that's a fatty fish)

[lusty matrix]

it's a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pampus_argenteus

[split hazel]

oh it's pomfret

[lusty matrix]

https://nextshark.com/cardi-b-eats-asian-food/

I heard cardi b said meetfresh is very healthy

so it must be good for weight loss

[lusty matrix]

are cocktails good for weight loss

[split hazel]

no: alcohol is ~7kcal/mL, alcohol interferes with regular metabolism, and cocktails often have a lot of extra sugar.

[lusty matrix]

oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!

[split hazel]

Have two simple drinks without sweetener additives, have fun, drink a lot of water, then hit the hay

you got this 👍🏽

[carmine parcel]

A tar soup? It looks disgusting, lol

[loud dagger]

why you hating i think its herbal jelly

[lusty matrix]

yeah it's the grass jelly dessert, really good

[lusty matrix]

oh no i'm 85 kg today

[split hazel]

Does this mean I do 15 fewer push-ups now

[coral siren]

I think it means drink more bubble tea

It's clearly brilliant for weight loss.

Look at purple puppy he's lost -3 kg. In three weeks!

[split hazel]

he's lost -3kg

[coral siren]

For me the key to going from 103kg to 93kg was healthy, meal prepped food.

That's actually delicious.

Like I made ratatouille last night. Eggplant red onions tomatoes bell peppers few other things.

Cooked in my saucepan for 45 minutes

Now I have a week of food that is literally 100% healthy vegetables and a ton of garlic.

And I'm looking forward to eating it.

The best part is if I'm exhausted or busy, I've still got a kilo of ratatouille in my fridge to heat up for the next two weeks.

IMO stuff like that is the way.

Lemon, paprika, chilli marinated chicken breasts.

And yeah, I never eat healthy when I eat out. Key is killing snacks at home, not ruining a restaurant meal by not ordering dessert.

[lusty matrix]

is this good for weight loss

[radiant verge]

the oil

pup

you'll become big pup

[carmine parcel]

how do you eat so much

[lusty matrix]

hmm I'm 84 kg today

maybe just daily fluctuations

[native dune]

Do you weigh at the same time of day everyday? Like when you wake up in pajamas after using the bathroom etc

[lusty matrix]

more or less

[native dune]

I have to take a 1-2 week average to track if I’m actually losing weight or not. Individual day to day tells me nothing

[lusty matrix]

is this good for weight loss

[stone cloak]

No

That’s positive calories

You need negative calories

[lusty matrix]

oh no!!!

[loud dagger]

its actually good for weight loss for once, what have you done to the real purple puppy

[lusty matrix]

oh my wife made that

[split hazel]

@loud dagger: I think the pattern is:

• Eat well at work during weekdays
• Evenings are a toss-up
• Weekends go off the rails

[lusty matrix]

I wish I could gain money and lose weight instead of the other way around

[lusty matrix]

work food

[lusty matrix]

oh no i'm hungry

[stone cloak]

White rice

Is that good for weight loss

🤔

[loud dagger]

better than fried rice

[unborn furnace]

fried rice so good tho

[lusty matrix]

japanese people eat a lot of white rice and they are thin and live long

[loud dagger]

not for weight loss

[stone cloak]

Like @cobalt finch? 👀

[lusty matrix]

hmm why are google search results so bad nowadays

I'm trying to find that popular chain in japan that has very large ramen servings

but the only results are for local ramen restaurants here and mukbang videos

nope

but anyway

there are definitely places in japan that have huge servings of carbs

japanese people also eat gyoza with rice

[loud dagger]

fried rice with a side of white rice

[lusty matrix]

that reminds me of cantonese porridge base hot pot

粥底火锅

which is like hot pot except congee instead of the typical hot pot broth

congee fondue I guess

[junior fossil]

I spent 250円 for a giant bento box so. It really depends lol

[stone cloak]

Oh hi I do search

Sorry

[carmine parcel]

You forgot the Sake to wash it down

[split hazel]

Japan has the lowest average caloric intake per day out of any first-world country. The next closest economically-first-world country, Taiwan, is +10% higher
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_food_energy_intake

In absolute terms, 2705 kcal is surprisingly high, but this data represents averages (Japan has few obese people, but 'overweightness' (25 <= BMI <= 30) is pretty common

[loud dagger]

the beer belly skinny guy type i guess

skinny fat

[split hazel]

(BMI is just weight (kg) / square of height (m). It doesn't take proportions into account)

[loud dagger]

ah fair, but its what ive seen also, so it must be facts

[split hazel]

BMI is a 'group statistic' used by epidemiologists as a 'figure of merit.' They were like, "what if we divide weight by height? Can we use that to predict lifespan or heart disease? Ok, it sort of works. What if we square the height? Like pounds per square foot? That works even better! Let's publish our results now."

That's it. It's not a good metric for evaluating individuals because it doesn't take into account if the individual is skinnyfat or muscular & athletic

[unborn furnace]

I struggle with weight loss at 1500 kcal a day, and here I see countries averaging 3200 kcal

[split hazel]

yes, but 63% of Americans are either overweight or obese, so you don't want to consume like that

You should be losing weight at a mere 1500 kcal/day of intake. Are you completely sedentary or something?

[loud dagger]

michael phelps ate like 10k, just be like him gopher 😎

[lusty matrix]

they didn't factor in food waste apparently

so most people don't actually eat all that much

and it is likely that japanese people are just very good about not wasting food

[unborn furnace]

I actually plant my feet in soil and produce calories passively through photosynthesis, so I burn negative calories

[loud dagger]

plastic packaging though, not so much

[unborn furnace]

wasting food is horrible

[split hazel]

chlorophyll is the mitochondria of the plant cell

[loud dagger]

i hate that my condo doesnt have food disposal either

[unborn furnace]

more seriously, I still lose weight but it is very slow

[lusty matrix]

i mean the krebs cycle and calvin cycle are pretty similar just going in opposite directions

[loud dagger]

o no youre giving me bio flashbacks

[split hazel]

@unborn furnace: when I got strict about my diet, I did two things: I weighed all my food, and I recorded everything I ate. Eventually, once I knew how to gauge my intake, I stopped weighing things, but I continued with the log. It forced my to acknowledge everything I ate.

Not sure if this will help you, but it's what kept occult calories sneaking into my diet

[unborn furnace]

I did that

[split hazel]

k sweet

[unborn furnace]

I'm 30+ lbs down from December 2020

closer to 40

[split hazel]

wow, hella nice work

[unborn furnace]

and I think ~20 since December 2021

[split hazel]

Almost (20lb/yr) for 2 years, then?

[unborn furnace]

Yeah something like that

it's so slow

and it's even slower now

I think I might be losing maybe 1 lb a month

[split hazel]

Who cares. Progress is progress

[unborn furnace]

It's hard to measure 1 lb a month of progress because it gets lost in daily fluctuations. So I spent an entire month not knowing if I was stalled or not, if I should change something, etc

the feedback loop is awful

also I'm still 15 lbs off from where I want to be, so 1 lb a month is not cutting it for me

[split hazel]

I would weigh myself every day (at the same time) and just look at the trend. Some people don't like daily measurements because of the natural variance, but I preferred it because a weekly/monthly measurement would seem like a "milestone" to me, and I didn't want that pressure.

I did this in 2021 and applied a moving average to the curve to smooth-out the local variance. I was only interested in the trend.

brb job time

[loud dagger]

u think maybe gopher youre eating too much protein and it gets turned into fat 🤔

[unborn furnace]

the calories from protein are accounted for

[native dune]

Do you think you may have cut your calories too much and your body’s adjusted? That could be pretty low depending on your height and exercise level.

I’m at a plateau right now despite walking or running 5-10 miles a day and pretty sure I should be at a calorie deficit and also looking for an answer to this

[carmine parcel]

I have a vermicompost bin next to my desktop 🙂

I think it's a good sign, in your case.
Steady progress means it was a lifestyle, which is the most profound and long-lasting type of change you can do for weight loss. 🙂

[lusty matrix]

halp there is a spider on my rowing machine

[lusty matrix]

82.4 kg today

[lusty matrix]

is this good for weight loss

[elfin gate]

That looks fried

[lusty matrix]

fried rice and 2 day old soggy microwaved calamari

[loud dagger]

breaded

[elfin gate]

Get an air fryer

[lusty matrix]

I have one at home but obviously can't bring it to work

[elfin gate]

Buy one for the office then expense it

The people deserve it

[lusty matrix]

in our microkitchen we used to have 4 microwaves but the circuit breaker kept tripping so now we only have 3 microwaves (and occasionally 2). don't think there's the space or the power budget for an air fryer

there's always a line at lunchtime for the microwaves too

[loud dagger]

time to switch to sandwiches

[lusty matrix]

is cheeseburger good for weight loss

[cobalt finch]

No

[lusty matrix]

idk why people like eating cheeseburger, the first layer is just bread and is very tasteless and dry, next comes the meat layer which tastes pretty good, but afterwards it's all lettuce followed by another bread

[split hazel]

@lusty matrix: universally, people enjoy fatty meats surrounded by soft, chewy bread. This includes: hoddogs, hamburgers, meaty baos, and most submarine sandwiches (incl. philly cheesesteak)

[lusty matrix]

oh ok

[unborn furnace]

I want char siu bao

[lusty matrix]

yes i would take a juicy 狗不理包子 over this dry and horrible room temperature burger

although i've has some good burgers in the past

also fun fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goubuli means "dog ignore" because it's so delicious that a dog will ignore everything else when eating it

[split hazel]

That's some high praise 😲

[split hazel]

Decent, but I see all that chicken skin 👀

[lusty matrix]

that's what makes it delicious

[split hazel]

@lusty matrix: I am a vegetarian today, but I used to eat chicken in bulk when I was actually fit. I would cook chicken skin-on, crisp the skin separately, then (mostly) share the crisped skin with my family (to avoid eating it myself).

Do the same. Treat your wife, get lean yourself 💪🏽

[lusty matrix]

that sounds like it would make my wife less healthy while suffering worse tasting food myself, worst of both worlds

[split hazel]

@lusty matrix: sriracha + lemon juice was the replacement flavour. I never had a high-sodium diet, so dodging salt was easy for me.

[lusty matrix]

hmm it's not about the sodium, it's the fat in the chicken skin that's delicious

[split hazel]

sodifat

[lusty matrix]

anyway, I can't not eat chicken skin. It's against my principles. I can give up everything else (sugar, etc) but not chicken skin

[radiant verge]

try to emulate the taste?

[lusty matrix]

I feel strongly about chicken, e.g. in my blog post about chicken rice: https://daniel.lawrence.lu/blog/y2018m06d10/

[split hazel]

I can't not eat chicken skin. It's against my principles.

a man of conviction 🙏🏽

[radiant verge]

[lusty matrix]

curry beef rice

[lusty matrix]

is this good for weight loss

hmm my wife packed me like a kilogram of salmon

[elfin gate]

Fish and broccoli I'd a very low calorie meal

So yes it Is finally good for weight loss

Doesn't count if you go home and then eat 1000 calories of red meat though

[loud dagger]

its not lean fish though

and theres the fish skin

[lusty matrix]

oh ok since it was good for weight loss i got this to balance it out

[split hazel]

Top notch framing for that shot 📸

[lusty matrix]

oh no i regress

[radiant verge]

pup thank you for your posting, I'm now 4-5kg down

current 149-150 and steady

[lusty matrix]

is this good for weight loss

[radiant verge]

220 cals: 39g carbs 39g sugar

that looks like a fattening juice

could you find another alternative

[lusty matrix]

nope since we already bought this

[radiant verge]

i'd refrain from alot of sugar that's processed

or try to use as little as possible

[elfin gate]

You can evaporate all the liquid out and so you don't have thr drink thr fake sugary calories

[native dune]

If it’s too sweet you could water it down. But honestly in the long run you’d probably be better off making your own matcha tea

[lusty matrix]

oh I did that a lot

e.g.:

• #foodies message
• #foodies message
• #foodies message
• #foodies message
• #foodies message

etc

[native dune]

Oh wow those look great!! Thank you for sharing

[lusty matrix]

are macarons good for weight loss

[split hazel]

They're made of almond (high fat), sugar (not good), egg white (little protein), plus the filling (assuredly bad)

Survey says: 👎🏽

[split hazel]

Well at least there's only 5? How much did that cost, btw? Don't say more than $10

[lusty matrix]

guess

[radiant verge]

50 dollars

[loud dagger]

20

[marble bolt]

Aren’t those hella pricey?

[split hazel]

@marble bolt: Should be $1.50 - $2.50 USD each (+ box overhead), but the price range is inflated in America. Dominique Ansel charges more for macarons in NYC than Pierre Herme charges in Paris.

[astral briar]

Macarons are also hella bad in the US compared to Paris. They are tough to make as well

[lusty matrix]

oh ok anyway i got mine for free

my friend made like 1000 of them

the 3 big trays above were the rejects that didn't pass quality control

[split hazel]

Why they only give you 5, then?

[stone cloak]

Hello its me quality control

pls send so I can check again thx

[amber steppe]

Man who do you know as a friend who's making literally a thousand macarons lol

[lusty matrix]

they made the macarons for a wedding

but gave 10 to each of their friends (I got two boxes of 5)

[lusty matrix]

is it a good idea to eat a hotdog at midnight if I haven't eaten anything since breakfast

[lusty matrix]

ended up getting these instead of hotdog

ok even i can tell that this is not good for weight loss

[lusty matrix]

one of my main motivations to lose weight is to not snore as much

[radiant verge]

epic

[lusty matrix]

oh god i'm going to eat this again tonight because my company booked a team dinner there

[lusty matrix]

oh god i ate like 6000 calories

halp

[elfin gate]

Eat less

[split hazel]

@lusty matrix: I know you're on vacation, a time for letting go of worries, but I think you will agree it's possible to enjoy oneself without diving all the way into indulgence

[lusty matrix]

oh ok

it was a fixed menu though

and i mustn't waste food so i eat everything

[lusty matrix]

straws make terrible chopsticks

beignets

[unborn furnace]

you really need to carry emergency chopsticks with you at all times purple puppy

[lusty matrix]

I had only 5 edamame dumplings today for lunch today

in order to lose weight

[lusty matrix]

beef and jambalaya

[lusty matrix]

https://oa.mg/blog/study-shows-you-can-lose-weight-by-sleeping-more/

[lusty matrix]

extreme carbs!!!!!

[junior fossil]

:roundpup:

[lusty matrix]

ok I"m leaving new orleans tonight

and I'll probably skip dinner

so today's calorie intake should be bounded at around 3000

[junior fossil]

understandable

NOLA carbs are primo

damn I should drive over lol

[lusty matrix]

at least I walked relatively more during this trip

compared to before

such as that saturday that I spent entirely just sitting at home

[junior fossil]

traveling def gets me out more

one of the reasons I love it

hope it was a good trip

[lusty matrix]

it was but now I"ve fallen behind work and my boss says I need to work harder to make up for the lost time

[junior fossil]

wtf
