i can verify anecdotally that the twist works, i watched it with my wife who knew nothing about it beforehand and she was genuinely surprised

The twist being that Arnie’s a good guy?

Yeah, the whole movie was shot very similar to the first one, so when the bad guy from the first movie turns out to actually be the good guy it would have floored a lot of people.

That one worked very well for me, coming to it a bit late without paying much attention to any advertising. Until the reveal I somehow never even questioned for a second that Robert Patrick was a good guy even when he was ostensibly murdering folks, he was just a robot doing what a robot's gotta do to save the future.

Miracle Mile is another fun movie with a twist that isn't a twist if you know literally anything about the film. It's a romantic comedy for about 20 minutes.

Again, you can't really overeat fat and protein. In the absence of carbohydrate your appetite will self regulate and you'll actually get sick if you try to eat too much of either fat or protein. I know you're worried. I was too I didn't want to get fat AGAIN!, I still don't know how it worked out but it did. I can eat maybe a 1/4 lb steak but if i try to eat any more than that I just feel ill. Though I'm satisfied through tomorrow afternoon. I never counted carbs, calories or whatever, i just found that when i was full it was time to stop eating, gradually my meals SHRANK. This has happened to everyone I have ever known who has tried the Ketogenic diets in the various forms

PoopinClumpin posted:

Dude, keep eating till you're full, that's when it's time to stop eating. That how this diet works. You're not counting carbs or fat grams, you're stopping when you feel like you'll be sick if you eat any more. (of course you're stacking the deck because you didn't include carbs in the meal...)The End. Yes, this is how I have maintained my weight for 9 years up and down of course as life goes on but I always know not to cook too much meat because I know how much I can eat and how much will spoil. I wish I could give you specific amounts, but that's between you and maybe your doctor. The idea of "weight maintenance" never enters into it because my weight hasn't ever changed. Follow the idea of eating healthy fat and protein, and your weight will regulate itself is all I can say, let your body find a healthy equilibrium, get a checkup, then enjoy your long health unless you have some other fitness goal that goes outside of a Keto diet thread

Condiv, the only other thing to be wary of if you like to drink alcohols , vodka, rum, etc have little sugar but beware of flavored versions because they're full of sugar (up to 12x sugar a bottle you might expect from Mtn Dew.)
anyway the critical thing to understand is that once you become keto-adapted you are essentially now a "cheap drunk" the microbes that helped you digest grain alcohol may have been killed off by your new diet! Surprise!
Dont buy that liter of vodka coz 2 shots might gently caress you over now! Whee another benefit?, there's no carbs in grain alcohol, so yeah, your poor insulin creating pancreas isn't directly offended by vodka or other pure grain (non sugared) alcohols (liqueurs). That's up to you!

i don't trust anyone who says "just keep eating until you're sick"

Thinking it was cocaine, the dad rubbed a fingerful on his gums then proceeded to try and fry a bag of bread, asking the Goon if he wanted "some eggs."

It's sad because a lot of goons in that thread just want to get in shape for the first time in their lives, and poo poo like that can completely derail it. I lost like 45 pounds and gained actual muscle with help from that thread, meanwhile that dude MVL was coming in and recommending steroid regimens to chubby nerds that didn't know how to do bicep curls right. Now it's this weird keto poo poo again.

Any thread about the joose or benzos.

Its a drug that caused first time users to outright ruin their lives and have long term side effects and every third post was "where can I get some I'm not worried I'm a responsible user"

MVP was the guy 100% addicted heading to Saudi Arabia for a job and needing to smuggle some in or he'd suffer withdrawals and die. No big deal, just munching 12 bars of Xanax a day. I'll hyper dose the weeks before and withdrawal doesn't kick in before I leave.

The thing about low carb diets that so many people miss is that you have to eat vegetables still. You can’t just eat bacon and eggs all day every day!

Of course that thread never mentions that part.
