My Lovely Horse posted:Proof: one of my coworkers is on a diet where you dial your calories per day down to 500 for three weeks and can't have any carbs. The supposed reason this is necessary is because her metabolism can't handle carbs properly and this will reset it, or something. 500 calories a day sounds like a great way for your body to reset itself (by fainting).

If acid is the worst thing for your body then why is your stomach full of it? Is it because of all the toxins? If so then will consuming all that alkaline food neutralize your stomach acid, leading to better health?

Your favorite life hack thread a bit slow for your liking? Post some batshit insane person's food blog (which has some decent design and setup for these pictures I have to say) and watch the posts roll in! Wally! #hackthreadhax

I cut my diet to 500 calories a day for three weeks and felt just how awful my digestion had gotten. It made me feel truly sick. But after my body reset I ate a cheeseburger and felt great, it worked perfectly! Best I've felt all month!

It's almost like the human body needs to burn calories in order to function or something. Weird.

Isn't 500 calories a day supposed to be a way to reduce the effects of Type 2 Diabetes? I definitely remember reading that a severely restricted diet like that did wonders in one study, though obviously it was under intense medical management and supervision.

I think you're thinking of a 500 Calorie deficit. Even with that, if you're going about your day and doing a moderate amount of exercise, an adult should still be running at around 1,000 Calories. My 45 pound dog* still eats about 750 Calories a day as part of her weight loss diet. *Totally different digestive systems but still.

Much like the appendix, hairy buttholes, and the lack of a sixth finger to better play videogames. It doesn't mean it is a good thing.

Yeah, eating 500 calories a day is a good way to slowly starve to death. Even the most sedentary human uses more than that to sustain life processes, hell coma patients get at least twice that (more depending on body mass and quality of care, of course).

The hospital's clinic that measured my resting metabolic rate offered to put me on a 1000-calorie/day diet to get the weight off fast. I did not bite. Content!

Hirayuki posted:I was dieting on 1200 calories a day and, surprise, not losing weight. I went through a few periods where I tossed in a couple 500-calorie days a week, which were miserable. Turns out my body burns about 1700 calories just to keep itself alive, and I tack on more than that to get on with my everyday activities. So now I'm eating a lot more than I'm used to to get my body out of starvation mode before I shave 500 calories off my higher number to lose weight slowly but sensibly. This is a proper life hack.

During the Top Gear special episode in Bolivia, the trio was given condoms, tampons, and Viagra at the start (which they obviously mocked). The tampons and condoms were used to waterproof their vehicles for a river crossing and the Viagra was used for its original purpose (easing high blood pressure) to help them with hypoxia at high altitudes toward the end.

This actually worked, saved a ton of money, and was arguable easier than constantly visiting the dentist. This kind of successful life hack does not belong in this thread (but thanks for sharing because it's drat cool in retrospect, after proving successful).

Moving a couple teeth around seems pretty weak sauce. I mean come by my place if you ever need help with that sort of thing. A forklift attachment would be pretty handy though, if we're talking body mods.
