The easiest way to keep calories down is to meal plan with healthy ingredients. My usual routine that could be broken once in a while when I felt like it or went out was:

Breakfast: one bowl of Cheerios/corn flakes or unsweetened oatmeal.

Lunch: a large salad with whatever you want just not too much dressing (hint: using Tupperware to toss the salad lowers the amount of dressing you need) or tofu and broccoli sauteed in teriyaki sauce

Snack: whatever you want just don’t go overboard with it

Dinner: a protein bar or protein shake

Combine that with 30 minutes cardio and another 30 of weight training five days a week.

I personally lost around 10 pounds a month. It takes a lot of dedication to keep it up though but you can see results in about two months to keep you motivated. Frankly this only worked because I was an onsite employee the whole time, working remote gives way more temptation to eat.

Chocolate rain!

I know them but almost never use ibuprofen. No sign of mild chronic pain in me yet.

No it’s not necessarily because of diabetes. It’s called Orthostatic Hypotension and it just means you have a temporary or chronic condition that relaxes your blood vessels too much so that more blood is in the lower half of your body than the upper half when sitting. When you stand up, there’s a drop in blood pressure that drains a little blood from your brain and causes you to get lightheaded or in more severe cases, faint. It’s a similar condition to what pilots get when they’re pulling high g turns that pools blood away from their head. An easy solution is to keep your blood pressure up by squeezing your bottom leg and butt muscles as you get up to keep blood in your head.

I have Sync programmed to open with a side button press of my phone. It’s an instinctive muscle memory and can get annoying sometimes.

Maybe we can get a Charlie Kirk ketchup dispenser.

There’s a data compression algorithm joke in there somewhere.

Probably The Weeb archetype. It’s the only one that mentions power metal. Guess I’m one too.

It was about 7 years ago and yeah it was easy to gain it back. I’m trying to burn it off again now though.

I lost about 60 pounds over 6 months before by doing a simple calorie deficit of 1200 Calories/day but eating very lean and green. Mostly just tofu and broccoli along with an hour of exercise (30minutes cardio minimum) 5 times per week. It definitely doesn’t hurt to make sure you’re getting enough natural vitamins in you to keep your system from losing valuable nutrients.

To answer your question: a pound of fat is roughly 3,400 Calories so it doesn’t matter where they come from, only that they can be burned off through concentrated and sensible effort.

The “beanz” name makes it sound like it’s an artificial mockery of the real thing, like chicken “wyngz”.

The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine might be able to give you a glimpse into what was lost.

Dbzer0 is pretty solid. Never had any issues with the admins, they post pro piracy shit, and they even ask for your input before implementing rule changes. It’s pretty comfortable and meets my values well enough.

Lemmy.ml apparently. When you type B…I…T…C…H it automatically turns to removed. They’re treating you like some kid who can’t handle grown-up words. Switch to another instance if you want more freedom with your choice of words.

Wireless earbud batteries always give out after a few months with me. I just paid double the price for good wired headphones like Moondrops after my fifth dead pair. They’ve lasted me three years and multiple trips in the washer and dryer so far. The bass is also pretty decent for such a small form factor.

Building an opulent ballroom while making sure millions will lose their homes, go without healthcare, and starve? This sounds like the last days of the French monarchy.

It returned to nature… Some of it as micro plastics.

Jira is so much better than the new programs introduced in the last few months. Almost everything could be done on a Jira ticket before. Now I need to go to Jizz for a work order, Bellow for an off the shelf inventory addition, GroupCenter for releasing a drawing, and SimpSupport for IT help. It’s like an MBA in upper management pushed these additions and then fucked off as soon as they started implementing them before it blew up in their faces. Off to search for the next company’s productivity flow to ruin.

Umm…

Just copy paste the job description to Google and it’ll likely end up to the original job posting. These recruiters are so lazy they don’t think anyone will ever get to their secret client lol.
