There is no physical hooks in alcohol to make it addictive. There is no hooks in most opioids either. If you want to say only physical hooks count then very few things could truly even count unless we are going to count the change in brain chemistry in which case literally anything could cause a flood of those hormones…

I'm going to blow apparently everyone's mind here, but all addictions are mental. The idea of physical addiction is a myth. That doesn't mean addiction isn't real it means we thought the cause was different. Gambling can cause brain rushes same way drugs, caffeine, and fast food does. Y'all need some actual science on this…

I don't feel disgusted with myself or anything, but I love fast food. I know thats why most of my weight loss plans have always failed. I just eat it too much. I love it. That and pop. It's been hard to give up my junk food, but I'm seeing actual weight loss now so I know those were holding me back.

Carbs are healthy and you need them. For most people at least 150g of carbs should be consumed and up to 275g can be. Veggies are good. Cut back on protein and increase carb (just make it good carbs veggies and fruits). There is a reason you are struggling to meet that goal we don't need a lot of protein to run…

40 calories is nothing. For reals don't worry about it.

I don't struggle with fasting its something I naturally do. I can go 1-3 days without food. Though I tend to stick to the fasting rule of anything under 500cal a day is fasting. So for me long term its not difficult. No help on keto as i love veggies and don't think keto is healthy. I agree though that the best diet is one…

It was meant to control a medical conditon for children. It has also been called by the medical community one of the worst diets and its not intended for long term use.

I think combining those could be really dangeorus. Keto itself is already a not so great diet and very restrictive. But IF works because you can eat carbs and however you want when you are in your eating phases. You are going to have so little energy it could be really dangeorus. Carbs aren't a problem for most people its…

I naturally fast meaning I dont have to think about it like others do. I eat all the way up until I sleep. I don't generally have my first meal tho until much later. I often skip breakfast and lunch. Sometimes I will fast for a few days in a row. Just depends.

125lbs seems like a pretty good weight. So thats probably why you aren't losing especially if you are of average height or taller. I'd focus on finding time to work out because at this point you are in maintenance and working on changing composition.

Any scale will work just fine. Just be consistent on when you weigh, what you wear, and use the same one.

Lol yeah they do its easy to lie about not smoking. Vapes make it impossible to control since smell no longer a factor. This is just a nonsense policy that makes people feel good and wastes resources. Nanny state indeed. I laugh at people who don't want the government in their business, but then are okay with companies and…

This is not true smokers pay the same. I know my dad was a heavy smoker his plan is actually cheaper than mine. It really comes down to the carrier you are always paying for others.

No skinny fat people exist and so do people like my dad who refuse to do the things he was told to do by the doctor until too late. Now he's only got a few years to live with a heart thats shutting down. Then there are people like me who eat mostly healthy, exercise, don't drink in excess or smoke, and still get sick. I…

I'm 150lbs at 5'7" and I'm a 10 or 12. Medium or large in top.

Cupcakes and bourbon. Booze does me in, but I only drink like that like once or twice a month.

At least 12 months or more depending on you. I tried for a half and got pretty far, but asthma made it too hard for me to break 2-3 miles. Just would nearly keel over from lack of oxygen. Never got a good pace to not need my inhaler constantly. But i went from couch to 2 miles within 4 weeks. If I pushed could have gained…

I dunno we quit pf because they took over our old gym and got rid of free weights except under 20lbs which is worthless for my husband. I'm about to rejoin for treadmill access as I'm recovering from a fusion need to walk a lot. I will see I guess.

I do 90% of activity when I am under fast. I rarely eat in the mornings. Don't notice any big difference. I'm actually more alert, but thats it.

This isn't true in the USA tho which you keep failing to understand. This is why you have to stop generalizing that your reality can measure against anothers. That's what people do when they assume everyone can eat healthy or that its easy for them to do so. Actually, a poster child for the exact opposite of your beliefs.

It's not easy to cook when you work 90 hour weeks. My mom would go months without a single day off routinely, but yeah totally she was just lazy poor person.

I honestly don't wear bras, but when I did VS had a good one. Bonus one of the few that had a smaller band for big boobs.

I have been at the bottom and top range of my normal BMI and I prefer the top. I have an hourglass figure and I did look like a skeleton. I prefer my butt and boobs to be big, it looks hot. Same reason men might want to maintain a higher weight to look good. Fact is I want to stay in the lowest weight where these things…

I date women and I find them attractive. I like scars too. Bodies are meant to be lived in.

Yeah its why i adjusted my goals to include less protein and more carbs. I eat more veggies and fruits less meat. Most of my proteins are coming from nuts or chicken.

There are studies that do shed light on possible issues. As a chemist you should know that just because it looks the same as something in our bodies doesn't mean it is the same or it will be treated the same. For example, high fructose corn syrup is just sugars we are already exposed to even in high amounts like fruits and…

Anything under 5 cals. Sometimes i dont log pickles because there isn't much calories and it just counts against my sodium. I don't believe that sodium is a problem and the daily limit kind of hogwash.

Nah unless you are maintaining long fasts 4 or more days I wouldn't bother. I fast a lot.

There really isn't. At some point if you want to consume treats you are going to have to consume carbs. Baked goods all require flour that has carbs in it even almond flour. You chose a crazy hard and restrictive diet to maintain, good luck.
