sll I know is I can have all manner of sugar (within reason) no problem, but anything based on corn syrup and I start gaining weight almost instantly.
You...do realize that you can get Vitamin D from more than just animals right? Vitamin D is from UV light more specifically.
Yes it's an animal hormone made from exposing cholesterol (oil on your skin) to UV light, plants don't make it and you can't get it from eating plants.
Does that mean I can stop taking vitamin d supplements and just lick someone’s oily skin instead?
Yeah we've been talking about them recently. I went on Ozympic for about a year, dropped due to finances. It really did work, dropped constantly, occasionally hitting plateaus that required lifestyle changes, but they were obvious and things I could have done without the drug. I do think the rather striking drop was 100% because of the drug's effects, however.
Yeah I just started my first zepbound injection today. I realize that I'm going to have to put in most of the work with diet and exercise but I'm at an age where I need as much help as I can get.
I have never tried anything made with Resistant Wheat Starch, which is a starch humans cannot digest. You'll have to let us know what it tastes like. It looks to have around half the calories of a white sourdough loaf and a much higher fat and protein profile (people who display nutritional information only as servings and not per 100g should be hanged, btw).
I tried some last night with dinner, it was pretty solid. they apparently switched from some seed oil to olive oil a while ago.I have never tried anything made with Resistant Wheat Starch, which is a starch humans cannot digest.

For all I know it's quite healthy. I don't see dollops of palm oil or anything. But I don't know a lot about Resistant Wheat Starch. You could have the same effect by eating lots of fibre (e.g. a salad) and just less bread overall. In both cases you're giving your body less refined carbohydrates and compensating by bulking it out with more fibre. I generally like to keep to a traditional approach. But if this is tasty and works for you let us know how it goes. Just don't scarf down whole loaves of the stuff thinking it's magic.
Well that's good in and of itself. Honestly, nutritionally it looks good. I'm wary of brand new stuff just on principle. Let someone else eat it / inject it / apply it for a year and see if they grow a third head. But generally the more you can cut out refined sugar and filling up on carbs the better and reading up on it, it seems it's mostly made through either some enzymes that break up the original starch or prolonged heating to accomplish the same. Interesting reading - it seems cooked and cooled potatoes and pasta similarly shift more towards resistant starch naturally.
My rheumatologist put me on compounded tirzepatide (Zepbound) one year ago because my A1C was +/- diabetic and I was fatty fat fat. Now I've lost about 1/3 of my body weight and 5 trouser sizes. I get my A1C checked again next week but the bloodwork from said rheumatologist visit 2 weeks ago looked excellent. I can get compounded tirzepatide for about $650/90 day supply. I have to draw up my dose from a vial but I've done many self injections in the past (all legal kiwibros I ain't one of those junkie people) and the bonus is I can adjust a bit up or down depending on how I'm doing. For example, I am currently prescribed a 7.5 mg dose, or 50 units on a glucose syringe. If I'm feeling like I don't want to eat anything I can dial down to 40 units or 5 mg or lower or higher.
I was an especially thin teen in the 70s & 80s at 97 lbs and 5 ft 3 in or a 17.2 bmi. None of the people at my 2000 student high school, including teachers and staff, were above normal weight. My mom laid on the meat, preferably beef, every night for dinner, salad, veg, bread and butter. We were never urged to eat every scrap that I recall. She's living with us now, 96+ years old, no dementia and we have to make the same sort of dinner for her most nights. Not fat but she has 10 extra lbs for emergency reserves.When I grew up in the 80's this is what people looked like. People like this grew up on a diet of meat and 3 veg sandwiches and drank heavily (good amount of carbs) whenever they weren't working, didn't exercise for the sake of exercising, so clearly carbs aren't the only problem. They held decent weight and bodyshape well into their 30's and a very large amount never had any weight problem (though they don't look too good now in terms of health and body shape though).
Clearly something has changed with how many grotesquely fat people there are now and it's not too hard to figure out what those differences are(soy, seed oils more sugar, chemicals unfound in nature in the food etc).
