Oat milk doesn't really work for me. Glad if it does for you ;-) I guess I will drink black coffee now. I received an AeroPress last week and while I always used good beans I ordered a selecton of premium beans from the webshop that I ordered the aeropress from.
Yes, 80 kcal are not much, but many small amounts sum up quickly in my experience, and 80kcal in liquid calories are much less satisfying than more solid stuff on my plate.
Yeah, non-dairy milk alternatives I did try. In away they are good as they don’t trigger the reaction I get with milk. But on the other hand since they don’t do that I can just as well drink my coffee black I think (and save these 80kcal altogether)
If it were useless we would see at least some populations in the world to have lost it altogether.
I have a milk problem
Counting calories with a food scale is eye opening. That bit of milk in coffee was actually about 80ml on average and I guess on certain days I might have drank about 300ml in milk. I guess I will switch to drinking my coffee black now.
Overall I think I am someone who is drawn to milk, some people may have sugar cravings, for me it’s hard to resist milk. (Fermented dairy like yogurt or quark is totally different for me, it doesn’t trigger the same reactions).
its not my plan, but it wouldnt be a problem for my health (i.e. I did it before)
I just recently occured to me that could use the formula used to calculate one's TDEE backwards. here me out.
Current TDEE is estimated at 2320 using this formula:
tdee = tdee_factor * (66 + 13.7 * weight_kg + 5 * height_cm - 6.8 * age_years)
If I would eat 2000 consistently, what weight could I expect to have? solving the above equation for weight_kg and using my data, I arrive at 92 kg.
If I would eat 1800 consistently, what weight could I expect to have? solving the above equation for weight_kg and using my data, I arrive at 80 kg.
My takeaway here is: today's deficit can be tomorrow's maintenance weight.
And me being overweight currently is actually me eating way more than what my body needs consistently for years.
So i ordered jeans with width 36 to see if I can go a size lower. Turns out W36 fits a bit tight but it fits and then I realize I am currently wearing W40 jeans, since they come in increments of two I am just two sizes down.
Wohoo
I imagine it to be like 2 bottles of water and 3 bottles of oil or something (with bottles of 1 liter), or a 1 gallon jug.
I remember reading about a German TV host who lost weight and every week would fill up the total weight lost as water in two buckets and walk around the house with them just to get a feeling for the weight.
Starting from June 6th I have now lost 5kg on the scale. And this after a 3 week vacation where I wasn’t able to weigh most foods and instead tried to moderate consumptions.
My strategy was to opt for salads when eating out, we had a rental apartment with a mini kitchen and there I prepared instant soup in e evening and broccoli’s cauliflower every other day.
I also indulged into cheese (directly from the cheese dairy three houses up the street), had some ice cream (not every day), and occasionally an Aperol Spritz.
I am 38 and have so far had no cavity. Turns out adults have a very easy handle on dental hygiene, brushing your teeth, flossing and avoiding candy and sweet drinks
Use rated games to be matched with real players. After a few games that you will lose you will be matched with players against which you have roughly a 50:50 chance of winning / losing. Don’t focus on the ELO rating specifically at the start. Playing against humans is definitely different from the computer. In the lower ELO ranges you will see a lot of moves that don’t make sense and that the chess engine would never play. On the other hand opponents can be quite good at reading your strategy (as opposed to a dumbed-down engine).
Use the Analyse game function after the game to get an idea of the mistakes you made.
I would start with 10 minute games so that you can play a few games in a row (gives you more practice) but still have time to think.
It kind of seems they stole a decade off of Lasker.
Lichess will no longer cooperate with the US Chess Federation and the Saint Louis Chess Club

Weight has been stagnant for the last week or so. The immediate connection is of course that I stopped tracking calories for various reasons. I have sticked to general recommendations of my dietician with regards to portion control and I credit this with the fact that I did not gain weight.
Today I had to take care of a sick child at home, so now (~8pm) I am really tired, but still I think I can pat my back for eating 3 moderate meals (breakfast was 60g of oat flakes with yoghurt, for lunch Austrian cheese with full-grain bread I baked today, dinner was Pizza (!), with crust prepared from 100g of flour and mushroom topping).
I am a bit in this weird situation that I need to strengthen my back as past yoyo dieting has somewhat atrophied the muscles of the core, while I also should lose weight now as a lot of things in life are now in a place where I think sustainable weight loss is now a possibility.
So I am working out for a healthy mind (and to hopefully prevent further losing of muscle) while at the same time I am a bit worried of hurting myself in the process / messing up regeneration at a deficit.****
Did they control for the fact that being overweight can be a cause to switch from sugar to sweeteners?
I am a picky eater, have been a picky eater all my life. I managed during my late teenage years and early twenties to acquire a taste for vegetables (and I am grateful that I did), but fruits (apple, grape, etc) are still a problem for me.
I have identified however, that I like
- Mango
- oranges
- lemons
Now I wonder what fruit I could "try" next. Preferably I would not start with Apples and Bananas (as a kid it was constantly suggested I should eat apple/bananas that I don't have the best memories in this regard, I think these will be tougher fruits to start with).
Why am I asking this? Ultimately I want to balance out my diet more and potentially get into a position where I can opt for fruit over chocolate if I want to have something sweet.
I would ask your medical specialist whether Swimming is okay to do with your medical history. While travelling you can purchase tickets to public swimming pools (granted, depends a bit on where in the world you are travelling).
Anyway, I would not take advice from strangers on the internet without a 1:1 consultation with a medical doctor on what is okay to do and what not.
Scale victory: 4kg lost. I am pretty happy, also I actually didn't get to swim in the last few days and the last times the scale dropped, it was after a >1000kcal workout or so.
My main method of weight loss is calorie counting, but I am also working with a registered dietician on learning again to feel my satiety
Best of luck on your journey. Its good that you don't have to do it entirely alone but have support by your Doctor and of course this community!
Phages were studied intensively in the Soviet Union and it’s block states during the Cold War and I remember seeing documentaries on German Tv with patients tracking to tiblisi, Georgia, to receive phage therapy
Wonder on the impact for glas recycling.
Hey, I created some "group threads" in the past week and overall I think the number of comments in them is so low that it just makes sense for Questions and SV/NSV (scale victories, non-scale victories) to be posted as Posts, which also means they are easier to spot for people in lemmy as well.
After some days of weight fluctuaions, I got a new lowest-weight reading today since I started calory-counting in June.
Doing CICO at ~ 1900 kcal per day and try to add sports on top if feasible (this week it wasn't because a family member was sick).

Peeing while standing I do only at urinals. At home I sit. Of course I would also pee while standing, but the additional cleaning need is just not worth it.

Should we have weekly threads like the subreddit. ? Iirc there could be weigh-in Wednesday threads etc. the thing is, I don’t think lemmy automates this.
