• Gender politics is getting way out of hand.

  Check webmd.com definition of gender affirming care for minors. It includes, among other things, top and bottom surgeries which puts those minors on a path of lifelong medication. Child marriages are wrong and even though that does not impact me, I think that all of 42 states in the USA should finally ban them. Adults can do whatever they want, but children are a different thing. Consent is important. And... Source: 11 months ago

• Newly diagnosed - what to do while waiting to start treatment?

  Personally, I recommend avoid googling as much as you can. This disease is different than other cancers in regards to staging, and specific to each person, and the team treating you can interpret image studies, and the various tests, will be far more knowledgeable as to advise and treating you than healthline.com or webmd.com. There are some good resources out there, such as this and the cancer reddit. Source: 12 months ago

• Has anyone gone off meds cold turkey?

  I'm no kind of doctor. That said, in my experience, going off cold turkey can be a very bad idea -- I felt physically ill for weeks after quitting one med. Couple years later, I quit another, and came close to harming myself. Best idea is to discuss ramping down safely with your doc. If you're not comfortable doing that, at least check reputable web sites like drugs.com, webmd.com, mayoclinic.com. Google quitting... Source: about 1 year ago

• Anyone know the life expectancy of someone with celiacs who eats gluten?

  Medscape.com is a really nice site with medical information (more physician-oriented compared to consumer-oriented sites such as webmd.com and the like; anyone can get a free membership). Here https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/171805-overview#a2, under Epidemiology, they note a four-fold increase in all-cause mortality among people with undiagnosed celiac disease. You might follow the links to the references... Source: about 1 year ago

• Feeling discouraged

  I have tried crash diets in the past and have never felt this good or this energetic. I'm going to keep going like this until I'm at my goal weight. I gained 60 lbs from taking this antipsych med called zyprexa (it's known for extreme weight gain fast but I was like I'd rather be mentally ok than fit and thin right now so I'm basically trying to reverse it. I use loseit.com to track my cals and exercise works... Source: about 1 year ago

• no motivation

  Follow that guide and that timing, and you'll be able to start putting some data around your diet. Start with your regular, normal food. My favorite tool for this is now-better LoseIt! Over MyFitnessPal which has been on the decline for years. Source: about 1 year ago

• [23] I gained about 10 kgs in the past year. starting from zero knowledge on weight loss any advice? pics are from 2021 dec and last week (2023 mar)

  You can use a TDEE calculator to work out approximately how many calories your body is using per day. You need to eat in a deficit of around 15-20% of your TDEE to see decent weight loss. You can use an app like Lose It! To track your food intake and see how many calories you're eating. People are notoriously bad at underestimating the calories that they consume so I really recommend you do some calorie tracking.... Source: about 1 year ago

• Is 1200 calories actually enough?

  At 1200 kCal/day you'll certainly lose weight, but it probably won't be safe... My older-but-similarly-sized spouse gets about 1600 (to lose weight) if she sits on the couch, so being active will certainly bump that up. We use an app called lose it to track both food and exercise and it seems to do a decent enough job for me and her. So your 1200 may be fine if you're a couch potato, but it sounds like you need...

• Progress tracking app?

  I use LoseIt. I've used it since I started on phentermine back in 2007, so it has a lot of historical data for me. It has a good barcode scanner and remembers your most frequently added items so once you put in a meal, you can just click into that section when adding foods and it will have the full list of ingredients from meals there.
