When comparing countries, best to look at PPM comparisons The US has been in the middle, better than some yet worse than others. Don't turn everything into a political football

The non-vax hospitalization rate should roughly be the same as the hospitalization rate before we had the vaccine, if anything it should be improving since people with higher risk conditions and the old are getting vaccinated and stepping out of the population. It's 178 per 100k, or about 0.2%…

I'm the type that can't have just one lays chip, or stop at just a handful of m&m's etc. I think it may be easier in the long run to just completely stop eating certain foods Once they are not allowed at all, it becomes easier to cut the sugar and processed carbs. Right now I'm doing an elimination diet which has…

Politics and common sense application of statistics, they are antithetical

Who here (besides me) bought a pulse oximeter because of COVID? when myself and a family member both had covid, it was comforting to check my oxygen levels while recovering at home.

I've been on one for two weeks. 1st was warm up where you empty out the fridge, 2nd week has been full compliance. I haven't been logging well but I find I'm eating less and my hunger is also less. I shed a ton of water just after going to full compliance. Macro wise I was high protein/fat while the elimination diet has…

She's reading talking points to sell stuff. Buy if you want to support her, but don't believe the marketing bs

Are you connected up with a fitness tracker? If so, which setting gives you a more stable calorie goal for the day, for planning your food. I find it better to spread the calories out through the day than discover I'm way under target at the end of the day, repeatedly.

dang, nobody gave me a voucher when I got my shot two days ago. 😡 It is good marketing for the brand, can't fault them for trying. I don't think it does them any harm since people who already don't like them or associate their product as unhealthy aren't the people they are trying to influence. But their fans think better…

Isn't what you propose exactly like the flu shot. I see someone already trying to combine them https://www.precisionvaccinations.com/flu-shot-and-covid-19-vaccine-combo-launches-phase-1-study I'm curious if the flu vaccine will move to mrna now that covid has broken the way. I expect we'll need a regular shot, to cover the…

TBH, I'm glad I felt some effects after my two shots. I feel it's actually working when I see the immune system responding.

Starting it today, it's fairly restrictive but also simple 2/3 veggies or fruit and 1/3 grain or protein for each meal No grains for breakfast, which is hard for me since I normally eat oatmeal No dairy will be a challenge Lots of other restrictions that I won't bore people with :)

I have to avoid them completely. I must pay for my gas at the pump cause if I go inside, I can't refuse grabbing a small bag or a bar of chocolate.

I still need to educate myself on the specifics. My family member has done it before and I'm tagging along on another round, to jumpstart my recent slow weight loss. I just know the basics, that it's very restrictive the first week then you slowly add back foods and look for a reaction. At most I'm anticipating I may…

YES 👍!! Got my second Pfizer shot today, in WA

I'd suggest limiting your sweaty exercise to times/locations where a shower is at hand. You can increase steps throughout the day, but not take it to the 'i'm sweating' level of speed.

I think WA is in synch with the nation, new cases are rising a bit but deaths keep dropping. While the cases may be sensational, dropping deaths is what really matters. The vaccine must be going to the most vulnerable. Below is the chart on new deaths, with the EU again looking problematic

The apple link didn't work for me searched for a direct link: https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/if-you-exercise-more-than-this-amount-of-time-per-day-the-results-are-disastrous This makes me wonder how it relates to serious athletes. When young and in my prime, I recall exercising up to 4 hrs a day and swimming 7…

First, log the chips you ate. It may feel uncomfortable to log all those calories, but I find it helps stop a repeat binge of the same magnitude. Once logged, let it go. Second, keep tracking and pat yourself on the back for hitting your calorie targets each day you are under. Don't focus on scale weight since you are…

Thanks for sharing your diary, you look to be eating well and with plenty of water. My only suggestion would be to add more salad/veggies, to add bulk with minimal calories. So try 3 servings of salad instead of 1.5, etc.

As suggested, the best option is to use the recipe builder and then weigh your completed pie, so you can allocate servings. The lazy way is to just sift through the many Shepard's pie entries already in the database, and pick the best approximation that includes specific weights per serving. I often go the lazy route if I…

read my post again, I was talking about a first foray into eating tofu, not the experience of a regular tofu eater.

For starters, you may want to bump your setting to 'Active' which should allow you to better plan your eating. FitBit adjustments should be fairly accurate if you've set everything up correctly. I think your 'lightly active' setting is what's throwing you off. Then observe your results against expectations, and start…
