Its interesting you bring up the limitation, it seems that most of the “calorie reduced” food studies on animals are actually intermittent fasting studies

Glad to see you have had success giving up soda!

I’m not familiar with much research on food noise as a topic by itself.

However you may find this paper on the power of sugar addiction in rats Intense Sweetness Surpasses Cocaine Reward - 2007

Our findings clearly demonstrate that intense sweetness can surpass cocaine reward, even in drug-sensitized and -addicted individuals. We speculate that the addictive potential of intense sweetness results from an inborn hypersensitivity to sweet tastants. In most mammals, including rats and humans, sweet receptors evolved in ancestral environments poor in sugars and are thus not adapted to high concentrations of sweet tastants. The supranormal stimulation of these receptors by sugar-rich diets, such as those now widely available in modern societies, would generate a supranormal reward signal in the brain, with the potential to override self-control mechanisms and thus to lead to addiction.

Being alive uses energy, if someone fasts for a week their basal metabolic burn rate would come from their stored fat.

Call it 1,500 a day for the average adult. A pound is about 3,300… so they should burn a pound of fat every two days just for existing

It’s because they keep their sugar intake low. Most of the hunger urges are carbohydrate addiction manifesting

That is a sign of carbohydrate addiction. If you switch your food to protein and fat, after a few weeks you won’t have the urgency and you will find skipping a meal is fine.

Yes, yes you could.

You have a better tolerance for carbs then most people. However, this meme is about people basically being addicted to carbs and fighting their food cravings when they burn through the 5g of glucose in the blood (because the body stores fat, not carbs). Carbs are the reason people are on the hangry roller coaster, always thinking about the next meal like it’s an emergency

Or most people haven’t tried it and are incredulous that it works and can’t imagine life without the food noise and cravings

Wow! I swear this happened overnight

Depends, are we talking the highest retail price? Or clearance prices?

Let’s take steam as an example, before steam existed I was a big pirate. Now that steam exists and it’s so convenient I basically buy every game. But I only buy them after wish listing them and waiting until they get to like $5 or less. So I’m a bargain basement patient gamer.

For other things I’m the same way, so what would be the actual cost of a cheapskates pirate library? Flea market clearance DVD prices would be fair

Good to see BOFH is staying busy

Soap is soap - Body Wash / Shampoo are just soap.

When the soap is gone, break out the water rinsed soap bottle

When that is gone, break out the dish soap

When that is gone, just jump into the swimming pool until you have time to go shopping.

Would I prefer not to have fufu fancy soap? Sure, but i’m not going to waste money by ignoring it.

I’m still half way through a bottle of industrial hand soap i use in the shower… it’s lasted over a year at this point. None of my tinder dates have complained

It’s true they had only driven kilometers before

Disinformation is often a term thrown about when there is some fundamental disagreement. It’s so overused as to be meaningless to talk about actual astroturfing

There can be multiple factors

1. Consistent muscle stress, not enough to cause pain, but enough to encourage growth. Ensure your doing just enough exercise to get to technical failure then stop.

2. Sleep

3. Stress

4. Adequate high quality protein, check the diaas score, but animal protein is best

5. Too much sugar in the diet, which messes with insulin

6. Mixing fat and carbohydrates, which causes inflammation

Basically the body needs to be in balance to build muscles.

Don’t worry about hypertrophy. Use something like grip strength to track your progress, not muscle bulges.

I don’t think so, no

It became assumed.

This is why they are businessmen and not politicians or influencers

Keto is even more of a kick in the pants. Society is just not ready for a carb free lifestyle
