My advice to her was to do some sports, running, cycling anything. She now goes swimming once week for an hour...

I on the other hand run about 30k a week and can eat whatever I want. I wish she would see the benefit of sports over diet, it is so much easier.

My mom coincidentally decided she had a gluten sensitivity right around when every other baby-boomer white woman in every blue state in America reached the same conclusion completely by chance

Now she tells everyone they should cut out gluten all the time, for any reason she can think of

I don't think so. Here in Germany you get overpriced lactose free and gluten free stuff out the wazoo because it is hip to eat "healthy" (I recognize the medical problems but this is being peddled to non-affected misinformed housewives to make a profit) and you can get vegan chicken, vegan salami and other stuff, but I haven't seen vegetable pasta ever. And I did look for it.
It would be in the premade section, if you have a refrigerated area with fruits and vegetables that are already cut up. Here it's not by vegan stuff, just with things like crudités and mirepoix.

For real though the amount of wheat in the modern American diet is unhealthy and the reason "Gluten Intolerance" is such a successful fad is because basically everyone in our country has dietary issues that are super normalized by our terrible diets and so when people try it out and their tummies stopped hurting and they only need to take one or two dumps a day instead of their seemingly chronic diarrhea they start going "Oh My God, I have Celiac's!" when in reality, no, you have the same mild wheat allergy that white people are genetically predisposed to all over the loving planet. The Nutrition Pyramid has always always always been a scam and the idea that everyone needs 10-12 servings of grains and bread a day is more or less directly responsible for our being the fatest country on Erf.

Like if you have Celiac's you literally poo poo blood if you eat a slice of white bread, read a goddam science journal or something.

Weight loss on order of importance:
Proper Diet > Exercise >>>>>>>>> anything else

Trying to lose with just dieting instead with exercise results in unhealthy muscle deterioration and extreme stress on your cardio-vascular system and joints so you feel weak and deenergized, and it will result in big skin flaps where your fat used to be. Exercise curbs that by getting your body used to its new metabolism and allowing it to adjust accordingly.

I once shared an apartment with a room-mate for a few years starting when I was like 19. I had a girlfriend at the time but I still occasionally looked at porn on the computer after work and as long as I can remember I always just came right on the carpet and never bothered to clean it up. Which wasn't really a problem when I lived alone with my parents in my own bedroom but for a few months the only computer was in the living room at this apartment. There were a few times where my room-mate would walk across the floor barefoot and ask, "wtf why is the floor wet?" and I'd lie about how I had spilt some water earlier and thought I had cleaned it up but I must have missed a spot or two.

I had a friend say he had gluten sensativity and it worked for a few years and then he came to the realization that the reason he was healthy is all the poo poo that comes along with gluten was also cut out. So he finally came to the conclusion (medical conclusion since there is no such thing as gluten sensativity, only Celiac's) that it was bullshit and now he is happier.

The one advantage of the anti-gluten fad is that there's more specially made food available for people who actually have Celiacs, since it's now getting bought by more people. But that'll probably disappear once the fad is over!

Yeah i use the spiralizer - its pretty quick and i just steam it, way quicker than boiling a full pot of water and cooking the pasta.
My wife and I aren't low carb by any means but we've pretty much completely replaced all noodle pasta in our diet with spiralized zucchini. It's super good and healthy and soaks up sauce almost as well as genuine carb pasta (it gets super runny if you don't strain it properly though, which thankfully we've figured out). You don't even need a $50 automatic one either, the $14.00 handheld version on Amazon works exactly as well.

For my "friend" I was literally going to her house to get her kids ready for school. Her husband, their step-father that eventually abused the daughter, made my friend cut me out of her life. I ended up moving to a different state soon after. They are no longer together. I know this is outing myself but I go to al-Anon bc I'm co-dependent. Surprise.

I feel like this is sort of a mixed bag. On the one hand, there are a lot more things labeled gluten-free (granted, some of those things cannot possibly have ever had gluten in them). On the other hand, there are so many goofballs who are "cutting out gluten" but don't actually have celiac disease, so going to a restaurant is still a risk.

Most people wouldn't have problems if they actually cooked proper food once in a while and not eat all that premade stuff. Gluten isn't bad and people need to own their responsibility for their own diet. Unless they belong to the >5% of celiac's sufferers.

Isn't it some ridiculously small percentage of the population that actually have a gluten intolerance? I think I've met two in my entire life who would actually poo poo themselves half to death within an hour of eating gluten, the rest are in the same category as Gwyneth Paltrow and her magical oval office rocks.

Reducing carbohydrate intake can be helpful in weight loss as it forces you to get your calories from proteins, which are digested in the stomach and therefore make you feel sated for longer. It's anecdotal, but when I see people who struggle with their weight there is very often a pattern of eating garbage carbohydrates (crisps, biscuits, confectionery) and moaning about always being hungry so they can't limit their calorie intake.

Low carb doesn't have to be Atkins or Keto (and the latter one is a bit culty). There are lots of good carbohydrates, but most Western diets are filled up with the poo poo ones that are basically sugars.

If your body is getting calories from protein you'll feel like absolute poo poo.

If you're fat there's no reason to do any special diet that risks making you fail by overcomplicating things. Actually logging your calories and following a restrictive diet is actually a massively disruptive thing for most normal people, keep it simple.

For a short period of time until your body adapts, yes. My point was more about adjusting your macros to fit your lifestyle. If you’re mostly sedentary then cutting back on carbohydrates can make weight loss much easier.

a celebrity fesh, haven't had one of those in a while

quote:

I've been an SA goon for almost 20 years at this point. In all that time, I've only let 3 other goons know my true identity.

I am a fairly well known actor, who's done both movies and TV on and off since the 90s. Have I had lean times? Yeah, Lifetime and various other TV movies were good to me for a while. But I've had a bit of a career Renaissance lately, which I am wholeheartedly enjoying.

This isn't a humble brag, just a fun chance for someone to maybe figure out who I am. My real confession is I love reading these forums, especially as of late where "MAGA chuds" are constantly being made fun of.

I skew liberal for a pretty obvious reason of you knew me, and one of my favorite things in the world right now is showing idiot Trump supporters getting their stupidity shoved in their faces. There's a few specifically on this forum that I would love to gently caress with - just show them who I really am with a "lol owned bitch" message. Maybe some day!

Keep up the good work and I love most of you goons!

If we're supposed to guess, this isn't a lot to work with really :shrug:

quote:

Is there such a thing as being chronically uninteresting? Because I think I fit the bill.

I live in a student residence and I talk to fellow residents fairly often, and I'd like to think I should be able to call them my friends. But a few days ago, it was my birthday, and almost none of them bothered to wish me a good one. I don't think I'm unlikeable as well: I've made and retained a reasonable amount of friends throughout my life, and I did get a lot of birthday messages from those that I care about. The only exception was a friend I've gotten very close to recently even though we knew each other for a while before that, and she bought me a nice pair of shoes and was the first birthday present I've ever received from someone who wasn't family. She also took me out for dinner and asked the others to come along, but none of them were willing to. She also told me she asked if people were willing to chip in for a gift for me, and they said no because they didn't know what I wanted, which ties into what I'm going to say later.

Now usually my goon brain is capable of comprehending social isolation due to a fallout with members of the community, and I'd like to think I have fairly good conflict handling skills. But this time I feel like I'm isolated for no obvious reason. No one seems to know what I want or even care about it for that matter, and it's really confusing to me because how hard is it to buy a cheap gag gift for a friend? I do it for my friends. I realise we're all often self-absorbed, but it's so discomforting having a housemate talk to me about some mundane poo poo and not utter anything about my birthday, even though they must be aware of it because I'm heading out for a dinner, a dinner in which my friend asked them to join.

I do think I've got a good range of interests: I do a variety of outdoors stuff and do hit the gym regularly. I'd also go on more outdoor trips with my residence-mates but they seem to be more occupied with watching shows or going to clubs. Obviously I play lots of videogames but my taste in videogames differs wildly from what they prefer. But somehow I just come off as an uninteresting loser and my obvious lack of self-confidence doesn't help!

Anyway thanks for listening, sorry for the r/relationships-esque post but I just thought goons would be able to relate to being totally uninteresting irl. Maybe I just need to find different friends, but these are the people I've been talking to for a year and it's such a shame I seem to be incapable of forming meaningful friendships as easily as these people seem to make it out to be.

Honestly I wouldn't take it this personally. If things aren't working out that well with these particular people you should try branching out some more and see if you can find people who match up with your specific interests a little better. Trying to be friends with someone you don't have a good connection with because you don't have anything else going on won't really work. I learned this lesson in high school and then again in college .
