It's rare for congressmen to have success in presidential campaigns. I think the only guy elected straight from the House was James Garfield.

Well, to be fair, it's rare for billionaire real estate developer television stars to have success as well. I think we might be past that now.

Congrats on voting! Did they let you wear the hat?

Yeah. Even if they did try to stop me, I don't think they can, constitutionally. There was a SCOTUS case in 2018 that struck down most of those restrictions.

Abraham Lincoln was first, then James Garfield. Both were assassinated.

Not such a good track record. Maybe we put Gaetz somewhere else?

Local news is calling it for Gaetz, with an easy win over the two no-names who ran against him. Next up for Matt is beating Phil Ehr with Trump at the top of the ticket!

No, but some of us can pretend to be. I was looking forward to seeing UWF play this year, after winning the DII championship, but COVID killed that. I didn't realize they were that good (for DII).

Tokyo20DrinkingGame 2 points ago +2 / -0

We had such a fun team last year. We almost won it a couple years ago too, in our 2nd year of football, losing to Texas A&M-Commerce and that fucker Luis Perez who has bounced around the secondary pro leagues (AAF and XFL). That UWF team was more of a grinding, run-happy team though, like watching a game in the 1960s.

Last year's team was way better. Austin Reed has a cannon with amazing accuracy, and it's crazy that he was a freshman last year. Losing Tate Lehtio as a safety valve hurts; shame he didn't even get looked at in the pros. He had all the tools to be like a Adam Thielen or Julian Edelman. Our defense only got better as the year went on, against some stacked competition. I still think our team can build again, and Pete Shinnick is the right man to lead it. He's the Emerald Coast's Ditka!

Honestly I don't think the picture shows enough detail to tell whether you have a fat problem or not. All I can tell is you're white. I can't even tell what your age could be. So I'm just staying on topic here, not an insult:

If you do want to lose weight the best place to start is with:

Step 1: Almost totally eliminating sugar.

Start by knocking out processed sugars. Initially increase fruit intake to satiate sugar cravings. After a month or so of this reduce the natural sugar intake from fruit/honey/etc. until it is totally out of your diet in about a week (if you eat meat and eggs the vitamin and mineral content in those meals already exceed any benefit you'll get from fruit). You will have sugar cravings. You will start to recognize the scent of sugar much more than you used to and it will feel like a second hunger that can only be satiated by eating sugar. This effect will worsen over the course of a week or two, but then lessen into non-existence after another week or so. When you no longer feel the need to eat sugar wait another month before occasionally reintroducing fruit and maybe flavoring tea with a small amount of honey. Avoid processed sugar whenever possible forever. End of story. Sugar generally fucks everything up no matter how religiously you follow a diet with a cherry on top when sugar consists of greater than ~5% of your caloric intake.

P.S.: If you need sweets then eat food flavored with splenda, erythritol, monk fruit extract, or stevia leaf. You won't be able to tell it's not sugar.

Step 2: Gradually start changing your dietary intake over time (specifically meal timing and a reduction in carb consumption).

This way it's not a change in diet, but instead a permanent change in your eating habits. Start this by eating most of the same foods you normally do (after step 1), but separate meals such that all carbohydrate rich foods are eaten no sooner than a couple hours after lunch. The meal(s) prior to the carbs should consist almost totally of fat and protein with very few to no carbs (I'm talking no more than to 15g-20g carbs at first before you eventually eat your carb heavy meal later in the day).

P.S.: Ignore everything that says saturated fat is bad. It's lobbied and over-politicized BS pushed by guidelines developed from farmers and food processors that wanted to replace traditional fats with vegetable derived and processed fats since they are cheaper to make per calorie. Here's the logic: don't push all the savings off to consumers to increase gross margins. You can find multitudes of cardiologists that argue against world guidelines against saturated fats. These cardiologists say saturated fats are less prone to oxidation in your body when combined with low carbohydrate intake (one of a few primary contributors to chronic inflammation is oxidative stress, which in turn is one of the main driving factors in the congestion of your arteries) and therefore reduce cardiovascular risk.

Many more steps mostly include the gradual elimination of carbs until intake is between 3-8% of your diet daily (~5% or less daily average). As carb levels begin to drop below 60g daily you need to start adding in foods that will help maintain your gut health (like asparagus, bone broth, apple cider vinegar, pickled foods in general, kimchi, full fat greek yogurt with no sugar added).

Anyways, that's an introduction. I did exactly this and worked in a few changes every few weeks since June of last summer and have subsequently lost 47 lbs in the 14 months since then. No change in calorie intake whatsoever. Exercise frequency and intensity did not change either. I have had no serious diseases or accidents to cause a sudden loss in weight. This outline, once understood, is actually pretty easy to follow with one exception: breaking sugar. The hardest part was easily the start with eliminating sugar.

For boat loads of more information on the subject go check out Thomas DeLauer's YouTube channel.

Just lift and carb load immediately after lifting

AdamBomb 3 points ago +3 / -0

I'm currently cycling through keto right now, so anything beyond 30-35g of additional carbs (must be within 30 minutes after lifting) on top of a 25g/day typical load could break several days of progress. I typically add the additional carbs after workout with a blueberry greek yogurt smoothie with a scoop of coconut oil, almond butter, and protein powder. I follow that an hour later with a protein rich lean meat or fish. That said when I stop my current cycle with keto I will probably bump it to 45g - 60g after a workout.

I've pretty much turned to recognize most people literally eats shit that even bacteria won't touch because the food is more akin to plastic than snack (anything fried in or cooked with the following oils: vegetable, peanut, corn, sawflower, sunflower, or grapeseed... olive oil as well but only if it was used for cooking - it's fine to consume olive oil as a topping or garnish if it hasn't ever been heated to its smoke point). Wheat in any noteable quantity causes a "leaky gut" syndrome to a wide range of varying degrees (from unnoticeable reaction to the other end - see people with celiac disease - but all people develop chronic inflammation with constant wheat intake) so when not on keto I still avoid wheat derived cabs. Still maintain my stance on sugar previously stated. To expand on why I hate sugar it's to avoid the incredible insulin spike it causes so my body is more sensitive to insulin after meals and sugar is addictive (if somewhat mildly)... I like not having metabolic syndrome or tendencies towards vices.

I didn't do exactly this, but about two Thanksgivings ago, I was 243. Last month I was 164, and then I started lifting weights, and now I'm up to 171 again, but that's intentional.
