Just something I read. Probably has to do with he fact that most alcohol is made with wheat, rye, or barley; grains (sugar/carbs) feed yeast. It also puts unnecessary strain on the pancreas and liver which is supposed to help your digestive tract through various hormones they produce and would result in your digestive…

I never tried it. I had digestive issues too and I think an elimination diet would be more beneficial. Either you have SIBO or you have an overload of yeast. For SIBO you just need to go get an anti-biotic or take foods with anti-biotic properties (garlic, grapefruit, onion, etc) and for yeast overgrowth you just need to…

As long as a person stays under their TDEE then a person will loss weight PERIOD. But fat associated with the apple shape is driven by over-indulgence of sugars/carbs. The key here is over-indulgence. If you eat more carbs before your body has burned/utilized the carbs that were already in your muscle/organs then the…

What else are you eating? And how's your exercise going?

Do a weigh in after a 12 hour fast and do it in the nude. Only weigh in once a week. If you are weighing yourself between meals and not a 12 hour fast then you aren't getting an accurate scale victory. I weigh every Monday and I stop eating/drinking at 7pm each night, that way by 7am the next day I can weigh myself and get…

I actually agree with this. Eating 80% clean and 20% cheat daily is a better sanity check than trying to eat 100% clean daily. I eat a piece of chocolate every day to keep myself in check.

When a person takes baked goods out of the diet like bread, cake, doughnuts, bagels, and buns, it's REALLY hard to go over on your carbs without fruit. So while I do have "low carb" days, I don't do it intentionally; I only do it because there's nothing left I can eat that gives me a LOT of the "carb" macro. Most of the…

The only suggestion I can make without seeing your diary is to make more time to prepare meals. Eating clean is a commitment to your body and takes valuable time out of the day that you would be socializing. If you don't have the time to spare (or are unwilling to spare it) then you will be eating dirty due to time…

Thank you for your reply. I agree wholeheartedly with it. Also, thank you for being respectful with your advice. :flowerforyou:

Show me where I said that what I said was facts. I did no such thing and never implied such either. I was only defending my point of view until my point of view was under attack and people called me idiotic and other names.

No it sucks. Because I am really reaching out trying to gain acceptance and it is going horribly wrong every time!

So the advice you have is "blend in or you don't belong". What about "give acceptance and you are accepted" doesn't that apply? There isn't a single dominate gender or personality, so why would people be so unaccepting of a personality so different than their own? Clearly we aren't being raised with acceptance to…

Reported. No one deserves abuse. No one is a mental case. Everyone has problems and not everyone can fix them themselves. A person who had a traumatic past of relentlessly being bullied should not be banished to from society just because he is tired of being abused. If it wasn't for me being naive that there are nice…

The herd has denied me. I tried to follow them but apparently you have to be just like them to be accepted. When the herd denies you, you realize that you need to do it on your own. But doing it on your own is great because you don't have anyone judging you. But when you find the herd by crossing paths, no matter how well…

I also said that I have a learning disability and I don't say things EXACTLY as they are. If you want to hold someone accountable for speaking accurately then you are wasting your time; the only people who you should be teaching lessons is your students if you are a teacher and your children. Everyone else is entitled to…

Point me in the direction where like minded imagination people are and I will go there and leave everyone here alone.

How about not testing each other and stop setting people up for potential failure? Why not "no person left behind"?

I would love to learn this. When I've stood up for myself it becomes a "I'm bigger than you" fight and no one backs down (or rather it goes on until I back down). No one respects people any more. I am trying to respect myself, but no one is catching on without the "report post" button.

Hazing is abuse. I've had 29 years of it. It wears on you and makes you feel worthless. It has eroded how I look at myself. Now I just expect everyone to abuse me (see all comments above from me).

Agreed. I take it you've been to Westland. But food isn't a problem. It's getting food to taste acceptable for my wife's palate. Like this article suggests, she is addicted to the flavors of the processed foods. So despite me being a clean/raw eater, she requires me to put processed stuff in there because that's the "tasty…

I didn't associate with ADHD from 11 years old until I lost my job 2 years ago. As a matter of fact, I treated myself like everyone else and just tried to be the best person I can be. But truthfully, you can't ignore a REAL mental health condition. You MUST live within your means and your limitations. And I was convinced I…

Other than money my wife and I are fine and appreciate each other. Why are you bringing up old news? Are you trying to pick a new fight with me?

Yeah, if we were running a play that's one thing. But I was in the lockerroom after practice... So.... Yeah.... That's "tough love" apparently and it's acceptable (no one got suspended)_.

I think it really depends on if the person is aware of the cognitive difficulties. Even at 30 years old I'm still learning new ways my "ADHD" has me impaired. Clearly I am having a hard time distinguishing between fact/opinion as well as friendly/troll. I used to value being naive, but I am starting to see how being naive…

I can't tell if this is a comment about how bossy you are or a comment about how passive and "whipped" I am. Expecting you to say it's intentions was to insinuate I'm not a man for letting my wife boss me around. But wouldn't be surprised if it was a confession that you are a bossy woman who thinks she knows best....

I never said I wasn't happy. I am just implying that other people treat me unfairly, even after they know what I am going through. It makes me feel like less of a person when they know what I'm struggling with and still expect things that I haven't been able to accomplish without help. It's like telling me to jump and them…

I was read the same lies as a kid too, but I know the truth. We are all given a hand of cards. While some cards you can put back in the deck, shuffle and get new ones; there are some (like genetics) that remain in your hand and you just have to deal with the cards you're dealt. I do not try to play victim, but if you…

There's a reason you didn't say it, it's because it's RUDE and uncalled for. My wife and I never fight. She accepts me for my flawedness as she is equally flawed. Thank you for pushing me further into my inferiority complex though, I appreciate your brutal honesty as much as I appreciated the kick in the nuts when I was…

With all the mental problems I've listed (believeable or not) do you really see a stress free life in my future? LOL!

I would like you to tell me what does. Dying of heart disease is a concern of mine. Dying of any diet controllable disease is a concern.
