Having a fitbit and a kitchen scale has been the best way for me to lose weight. It does a pretty good job at estimating your burn and it's not that hard to track your intake. I dropped 10lbs pre-pandemic, then couldn't be hosed, now I'm picking it up again and it's dropping off pretty well.

my stop-dying-so-fast thing this month is cutting the salt. i was gettin a little happy with it. i can compensate with a bit more spice and it has the upside of making my chest not want to explode

The biggest thing for me is just the mental hurdle of committing to it, because it is a daily mild inconvenience, but yeah. In tyool 2021, most people have the resources to do this stuff easily.

kitchen scales are great. modern calorie counting apps are great. it's still not easy with those but it's considerably easier. you just have to let the tools train your mind over time rather than becoming orthorexically obsessed with precision and numbers

Jonny 290 posted:my stop-dying-so-fast thing this month is cutting the salt. yeah, i started keeping granulated garlic around years ago as a salt sub for soups and things and it helped me cut back on happy-go-lucky seasoning. at the worst it made some soup too garlicky but that forced me to more thoughtful in flavoring shoeberto posted:The biggest thing for me is just the mental hurdle of committing to it, because it is a daily mild inconvenience, but yeah. In tyool 2021, most people have the resources to do this stuff easily. between myfitnesspal and a scale it really is. most package barcodes are listed already and default to a common measurement or serving, and if you're going for regularity it'll suggest recurring items for their respective meals when things were spotty last march i wanted to get a handle on diet and food use and it led to dropping 18 lbs. and dropping junk food items i gained some of that back out of deskjobbing but it's all there waiting for me to start again

i also use myfitnesspal. my experience is that if you're eating food with barcodes use myfitnesspal and if you aren't, use daily plate. in grad school most everything was from basic ingredients so daily plate was better, but these days i eat a lot more barcoded stuff so yeah i'm down 25lbs since i started tracking again. ideally i'd like to get down another 20 or 30 but im also reasonably happy with where i am. as long as i'm not gaining weight i'm pretty happy. i'll probably never again be as strong/fit as i was at 25 and that's ok (but i might as well try i guess)

some stuff like peanut butter and really nuts in general i am just straight up Not Allowed to have. my brain cannot comprehend the amount of calories packed in there, and i'm never satisfied with 100 calories worth or whatever when i weigh them out, so best to just avoid

i like to eat a lot of salt but i’ve cut back just because it’s probably better for my kidneys since i probably end up eating a bit too much protein too. i’ve always had bp on the low side of normal to the point where now that i’m not fat sometimes it’s hard to stand up without seeing spots in re app chat myfitnesspal used to be great then under armour bought them. cronometer is the hot poo poo these days imo because they don’t allow users to directly edit their db

so the (what I assume was) tendon pain in my other foot and shin is pretty much gone for some reason, but now my other knee is really sore - i guess because i sat on my leg on the sofa while playing Fallout 4 for a bit? marvelous.

When I walk, the leg with the sore knee feels longer than the other one, like when you're wearing a shoe on only one foot O_o
