I feel exactly the same way for candy bars and orange juice, but it’s hard to shake the million stares thinking I’m insane.

Sorry, I don’t understand. What is the issue?

I put correct in quotes because it was ineffective. I did not lose weight eating the amount of calories that the doctors calculated. Is that surprising?

Hahaha yes this is great. Similar with “Oh, you’re poor? Have you tried making more money?”

Almost pure carnivore, extremely strict keto. I try to eat as close to zero carbohydrates as possible and a stick of butter per day.

I agree. Neither you nor I made a specific comment in difficulty. Your parent comment stated it was disrespectful. I agreed and tried to use an analogy that would be considered both disrespectful and cruel by most people.

In addition, I have successfully eaten the “correct” amount of calories for years and years and still gained weight. I admit, andcdata, but I am not the only person with this story nor am I the only one with this odd medical outcome.

Why not? It just means you eat a specific amount of calories and you’ll lose weight no?

Imagine the time before the formalization of dyslexia within medicine. It would have been very disrespectful and cruel to tell people who found learning very challenging something like “just try harder! It’s basic physics, the more you study, the more you learn!”

I am one of those people. I appreciate you saying this. I have spent decades of my life trying to lose weight including following doctors orders word for word for 10 years. It only ended with gained weight despite their beliefs in “physics”.

I am now 3.5 years into carbohydrate recovery and I’ve lost 200 pounds eating way way way more than my “TDEE”.

I’m not saying this for any other reason than to express my gratitude.

As a lifelong morbidly obese person, and I admit that this is anecdata, this is categorically not true, for me. I feel no normalizations. I feel no mob, on my side. Rather, I feel a gigantic mob on the "just lose weight you fat person" side. I still have doctors that won't take any ailment seriously because their first response is "just lose weight you fat person".

Everything in this HuffPo article rings completely true for me -https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/everything-y...

Congratulations! I’ve been fruit free and almost vegetable free for 3 years and it’s been the best time of my life. I’ve lost over 200 pounds and kept it off for longer than I ever have in 3+ decades of weight loss attempts.

Yes, definitely. I feel this way as well. It's not ridiculous at all. Forced withdrawal is the only way to begin recovery and get back sensitivity.

People are extremely scared of the word "addiction" though. I feel the same way about sugar and basically all carbohydrates at all and it's very challenging to talk about.

Can this service be used with preexisting recordings? I have family that are losing the ability to speak and I’d love to be able to give them that back somehow.

Since turning on resist fingerprinting in Firefox, I am totally used to this problem. I have now memorized and automatically do the timezone math in my head.

Sadly I don't have a real solution for you but at least I have an option that means it's all consistent! :-D

Ah I see! I didn’t realize this accreditation distinction you’re making. My googling from here makes much more sense. Thanks.

This seems too good to be true and I’m trying to figure out the catch.

Do you have a source for the starch-ivore comment? Id like to do some research. Thanks.

This video explains water hammer really well.

Yes completely! Medicine has done wonders but also has some serious skeletons in the closet when it comes to medical reversals.

I’ve found this book to be fascinating and super enlightening about what has gone wrong even in recent history.

I’m hopeful one day that fat demonization will be formally reversed.

This is so so true but so many people don’t believe this is possible. I wish there was a way to formally study this. Once my children are out of the house, I’m going 0 carb. I’m already pretty close to carnivore.

This is a very well understood pathway in biochemistry called gluconeonesis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis

Fat. Why not consider the third macronutrient?

You mean specifically because of the real-time-ness of it? As far as I understand, with professional video editing tools and skills, this camera-in-fixed-location removal is trivial.

I totally agree with this. I'm an avid Duolingo user with an over 2000 day streak but I would happily use another tool/game/platform if I could learn Malayalam.

My family is Malayalee and I know the entire language in my brain because I can understand them speaking to me,but I respond in English. I would pay a huge amount of money for an English<->Malayalam instructional book and I'd pay a huge amount of money for a Duolingo-similar Malayalam learning experience. Niche and rare languages have little to no representation in the popular apps.

But a lot less fun!:-)

"Worry"? That seems like a strong word here.

This is a game that I enjoy playing. I have never tracked how long I take. Many days, I do only a single lesson. That's less than 5 minutes, sometimes less than 3.

I'm not trying to be fluent. I'm not really _trying_ to achieve anything. The closest I have to a goal is that I enjoy having another language's vocabulary that I can use when speaking around my children.

No I haven't. That feature came out years after I started.

I do have tons of twilio/glitch based reminders that I moved from crons on a VPS in 2017. I am aided by technology to remember, but I usually do it early in the morning.

I have a 2201 day streak playing Duolingo. I love Duolingo. I have taken Spanish and French that whole time and German for a few years.

I find Duolingo to be an extremely fun game. My wife and I really enjoy trying to speak other languages and even more so now that we have talking children. I can speak passable Spanish and can string together broken sentences in French to be effective (they get what I mean) and hilarious to native speakers.

Duolingo has never purely taught me a language. If my wife didn't know Spanish and learning French like me, I would have never been able to practice enough in the real world to know.

I enjoy using Duolingo immensely. For me it is a fun way to toy around with a hobby I've had for years without committing myself to dedicated training costs and time.

I built a prototype of an ingredient list scanner for Keto people. It's still not launched and I'm sure there's bugs, but I'm hoping that posting this gives me some motivation. :-)

Or perfectly inelastic demand. No one weighs the costs of life or death

Me too! I was so disappointed that the spin off never happened.
