My advice for someone in your situation is ALWAYS start with an isocaloric (balanced) diet with a small deficit. This is equal protein/carbs/fat. Slowly reduce calories each week until you’re at a decent deficit. From that point, adjust carbs and fat as needed for preference.

It’s fool proof, but you have to weigh & measure. Signed - former fattie.

Easy Method:
-Subscribe to a meal delivery program like Metabolic Meals and take the guess work out and not have to weigh/measure. Expensive and a temporary solution

In fairness, a few years ago we were all wondering if the military would follow “unlawful” orders in a nationwide firearm confiscation under Joe.
Freedom of Assembly is what should be under consideration, but your points still stand.
Correct, but she isn’t involved in a single “Walmart” decision. She owes her fortune to wmt, but isn’t part of the board or anything, right?
I don’t believe she has anything to do with Walmart, she’s simply an heiress with the last name Walton.
Modern protests really seem to be a handful of bad players surrounded by hordes of people taking pictures/video.

If the cell networks were shut down, they’d all go home.

re: Weight Training for 10 yr old

I have 3 teen lifters, and the below is what we worked on until it became way too easy. Then jumped to a basic linear progression program.

I find kids are often too mobile to be sufficiently stable with loaded weights until they establish baseline patterns and bracing.

1.) Pushups

2.) Inchworms, months of inchworms

3.) Ring Rows

4.) Farmers Carries

5.) Medball or sandbag squats

re: Water main leak?

Such a weird angle for them to enter the green pipe. How old is the house? Wondering if it’s shifted.

Looks like a lot of water, is that clean out a sewer line?

That’s weird - I’m imagining two pvc lines running into a schedule 40 green pipe.

Are you sure this isn’t water coming FROM the house? Like a greywater system or something?
I have plenty of experience with this in both houses I’ve owned.

-Dig slight swale directing water where you want.

-create a low stone wall that directs water (I used chop rock and planted ground cover all along it)

-Use landscape timbers or railroad ties to direct water

-Insert drainage wells into select low spots to capture water.

-Find the source of water at the farthest edge of your property, insert a catch basin, then direct an outlet with buried pipe of choice

That sounds like a rather significant leak

I’m also surprised this board hasn’t had more Ray Peat threads, as my X feed is full of Peat posts.

For anyone unfamiliar with Mark Bell, he’s about as legit as they come, has what might be the best podcast in strength and conditioning, and will genuinely try anything before casting judgement - hence his run on the Sugar Diet.

Unless Mark does something weird in that video, the Sugar Diet most are talking about is better named Fruit till Noon.

The people having success are eating exclusively fruit, juice, and honey until noon, then transition to protein with limited fat later.

Part of the basis is that the “sugar” early in the day ramps up your metabolism and provides extra energy

re: Shoe Stack Height

Posted by LSUfan20005 on 5/23/25 at 6:40 am
I ordered a bunch of Topo shoes for my high school runners, and they declined them so I sent them back - still balancing the “those are weird” with my instance on low offset.

They all still prefer the Kinvara (4mm offset, 25ish stack).

I have 4 pairs of the previous Escalante Racer, the perfect shoe for me. I can’t run in normal escalante’s, as they have this unstable wobble to me.
This was big at HS graduation this year, one person holding tons of seats, often with a folded program as the indicator

Bingo. ESG scores linked to capital practically forced this movement.

re: Baton Rouge to Ozarks - Driving

Posted by LSUfan20005 on 5/15/25 at 6:27 am
I’ve driven every possible route, and the biggest problem with your selection is the complete absence of bathroom and food stops for long stretches. If you need breaks for kids, be prepared.

The most scenic route is to Shreveport through the Ouachitas on the west (Mena, Fort Smith, Fayetteville).
I tried this last year. Melons didn’t like where my trellis was and went the other way. Each day when I’d get home from work, they’d have already anchored to a section of ground and manhandling them was getting risky.

re: Your fish frying techniques….

Posted by LSUfan20005 on 5/10/25 at 4:06 pm
Wet mix: Mustard, Louisiana Hot Sauce, just enough water.

Breading: Prefer “corn flour” over corn meal for most. Season the flour to your taste.

Fry over 350 or you’ll just absorb oil.
