I mean Maduro is pretty bad. If that statement was just about him, I don’t see the issue. They seemed to quite dislike everything Trump was doing.

The most confusing part about that statement was Americans seeing what the Nobel prize is. They especially should stfu after electing that shit-show XD

What? What are either of these things really? I’m so confused.

I disagree. I think the religious indoctrination of children is bad.

In my opinion the weirdest part is, that they are banning hijabs, but circumcision on babies is somehow still legal. Seems like we’re mixing our priorities a bit.

Yea, this might be a good law, but not from this government.

That’s very different. Its more like a religion telling men to always wear gloves for modesty reasons and the government saying that you can’t wear them in school.

The reason “for modesty” and only one gender is kind of important. That makes this a gender equality issue.

The law still feels a bit weird, but Islam has to modernize, just like Christianity is doing. Both have a lot of work left and this government is probably more islamophobic than they care about equality.

New tactic for Ukraine dropped: Build Trump statues in likely drone paths. Once one goes down you’ll have his support.

To maintain/gain weight? Why else?

You shouldn’t do it regularly, but I think its better than a 1000 calorie deficit.

Yea, not a good food source, but if you use it, you don’t have to get fat.

If you have no time to cook, do mealprep, or if you have the money buy premade meals.

You are like 25 years behind the science. There is a difference in absorption, but its negligible. Your digestion is incredibly efficient at absorbing calories. Unless you have some weird condition, you can count calories 1:1 and ignore the rounding error of absorption.

This calorimeter talking point has been debunked for a long time now.

You can eat McDonalds responsibly if you don’t eat too much. If you feel like you are still hungry get a burger and a salad instead of two burgers. Or stuff like that.

It’s OK to eat McDonalds. The problem is irresponsibly eating McDonalds.

The cheapest food would be raw ingredients like rice, beans etc. That way you can eat an appropriate amount and not feel hungry. Also let’s not pretend like frozen veggies are more expensive than McDonalds or other restaurants.

Otherwise eating less is always cheaper, you just might feel hungry.

You don’t have to avoid UPF. Just eat less and fill with salad/veggies until you aren’t hungry. As long as you keep the calories in range you’ll be mostly fine. Maybe watch the macros a bit.

Broo the amount of people pretending that they can’t get rice, beans, frozen veggies and some sauce, but McDonalds is cheaper and available is insane.

“I have no choice, but to buy McDonalds every day” Lmao what? Unless you don’t have a kitchen, that is ridiculous. Even then, don’t they sell salads? Get the burgers for the calories you need and fill with salads until you aren’t hungry anymore.

Edit: For relatively cheap and complete protein source consider Soy-granulate, sometimes called TVP. It also has a long shelf life since its dry.

They raise your heart rate a little bit. But mostly suppress hunger and impulse-eating. For some they can cause weight loss. But they mostly stabilize your diet by making it easier to follow a schedule.

I have been taking them for 2 years and those have been the years I actually gained weight. But I can see how they could make loosing weight easier too.

What? I’m trying to gain weight. The meds help me remember to eat.

We can use the glycemic index for the insulin spikes and calorie density for how much you can fit. But the taste isn’t really measured I think.

The calories hit basically the same. The carbs might be closer to sugar and combined with the missing fiber you’ll get a big insulin spike. Gotta watch out for those to not build resistance.

But there is this obsession with the “chemicals” like the Red dye 40 scare recently. Those are like 0.5% of the problem, but distract from the real problem of too many calories.

The point at which you should care about Red40 is when you’re a professional athlete or bodybuilder on contest prep. No normal human has health issues from these “chemicals” (allergies notwithstanding) anywhere comparable to the issues of too many calories.

Edit: As a German I do agree that American “Bread” should be classified and sold as dishwashing sponges.

No, that’s the current problem. Growing up my parents believed that a vegetarian diet of 80% vegetables was healthy. While I probably got all the micro nutrients I could not physically fit the needed amount of calories in the form of vegetables into my stomach.

I really should get a refill XD

Don’t get me wrong, I do mealprep, just forget or don’t have time for lunch some days. Then I eat “junkfood” because I can’t eat 2000 calories in one go, when I eat rice and lentils.
