Ray Peat Anonymous 18376[Reply]

Is anyone here into Ray Peat? Do you follow his philosophies? I only started down the rabbit hole that is his website but I find his ideas pretty interesting.

As a coffee-drinker, I enjoyed his article on how coffee is a vitamin.

I'm going to start incorporating some of his ideas and eat more fruit but I'm not sure how deep I'll go.

i followed his advice a few years ago but there is too much contrary evidence to me. i wish i had a strong background in physiology to do more of a deep dive but from the research i can do too much of it just doesn't hold up.

Ever tried cod-liver? It isn't for gourmets either but I imagine it tasting better than regular canned liver

not really anything. you have to stay away from pufas which is in pretty much anything processed. i love cooking with coconut oil though and eating haagen dazs every day is a bonus haha.

Anonymous 20465

>>20464
yeah i know, but tbh i don’t take the pufa avoidance super seriously, esp because i really don’t think it can be avoided completely. i’m more mindful of just eating more saturated fats + avoiding things that cause inflammation in the body, like most cooking oils, preservatives, additives, etc.

eating disorder thread Anonymous 4629[Reply]

eating disorder thread - its time for another

do you have an eating disorder?
which one?
are you attempting recovery?
how long have you had it?
what caused it?
how does it disrupt your daily life, if it does?


i have a purging disorder.
i kind of want to attempt recovery sometimes, then i see something like my crush looking happier talking to another girl thats skinnier than me, i think about how much better i could look/how i could compensate for my stupid ugly fact, and i think about the comments my dad gives me when i 'eat bad' even though im 19 bmi/skinnier than him (hes overweight, i think.) ive had mine since i was 13. i was a fat child growing up because my parents didnt know how to feed me, and instead of giving me healthy food they just called me fat/made fun of me. it disrupts my daily life heavily because i cant eat anything without purging after, and it just ruins my mood and has disrupted my health. ill be devastated if i go up 0.1 a pound

>do you have an eating disorder

no

>which one

im anorexic (like, "real" "actual" uw anorexic) but i started above bmi 35. i developed it after i lost 20 lbs on accident after converting to ethical veganism (which i later betrayed because vegan safe foods are super limiting, and i feel terrible for giving up my morals to be able to eat fat free yogurt)

>are you attempting recovery

i absolutely refuse to access recovery treatment because it is biased towards people with a healthy or low-overweight starting weight who can maintain a healthy weight without ED behaviors and i dont think i have it that bad in the ED behaviors department anyway. i wholeheartedly believe i am built with genetics where normal people food freedom cannot exist for me without making peace with an obese body and dying in middle age. both sides of my family are universally obese, even the healthy eaters. absolutely insatiable even on a diet of black beans and rice

>how long have you had it?

vegan started 5 years ago at 17. i track any other milestones really. uw happened by accident during a stint of not weighing or tracking. i didnt starve the whole time and i think it was subclinical for most of the time tho

weak willed consumer cultre victim…

forget everything you know about eating and apply the youthful curiosity to it. reading your textwall made me think that this is something you never did.

you could find out what food will end up make you looking what way but honestly it is a moot point. that's just wasting your short little life.

humans are dumb and so are you. they eat stuff they should not be eating and just because they don't drop dead from it instantly, does not mean it is 'safe to eat'.

most products in the supermarket will make you fat and sick. find out what your human organism has evolved to best digest and eat that and stop eating the stupid industry food and you will reach your goal of being thin. it's normal to want to be thin. if you only ate what your body could handle, you could eat unlimited amount and never get fat.

is very unfortunate that you gave up the veganism and it is also very unfortunate that you only sit on chairs and couches instead of moving about all day every day. hard work is nice. when you are a slave and work in a diamond mine for some greed capitalist asshole, that sucks. but working hard on yourself, that's such a wonderful feeling, i hope you experience it soon.

best of luck you enormous elephant aka honey booboo's mother.

>do you have an eating disorder?
yes
>which one?
anorexia but i binge and purge often
>are you attempting recovery?
no
>how long have you had it?
in some form or another since my early teens
>what caused it?
in the beginning it was just a stupid diet to try to fix my acne. later the main driver is wanting people to expect less of me because they can see i'm ill.
>how does it disrupt your daily life, if it does?
it goes in cycles. i almost recover every winter, but as soon as the weather starts heating up I relapse (this aligns with my uni schedule). when i'm restricting I get really bad brain fog like spacing out in the middle of a sentence like im Biden or someone. and it restricts my social life a bit because i'm super weird around food and 90% of social gatherings are about eating.

No sew/minimal hand sewing kawaii upcycles? Anonymous 20571[Reply]

I am on a budget but love kawaii/weeby coquette/cutecore(hyperfeminine 2000's anime inspired) fashion. I've added bows and lace to things but would like some advice/links to tutorials on how to cuteify/upcycle clothing.

ikea.png

>>20571

something i wanna do that i have not gotten around to is use this nice ikea velcro to connect fabric to stuff. it's super easy. it is velcro with a type of hotglue on the other side and i have used it to attach fabric to a window to make quick and easy curtains without sewing. just needs to be warmed gently somehow. (i have seen it used with a little burner thingy people use to make creme brulee with, probably a regular lighter could be used too for small pieces. i have also seen it used with a hot air gun, probably works with a blowdryer too because it doesn't have to be that hot, just hot enough for the glue to melt)

it comes with both sides of the velcro. melt one side, press it gently on the fabric, melt the other side, press it gently above the window on the window frame.

since it was hotglue, it was easy to remove from the window frame when the first positioning did not come out that good, remelt it and position it again. i'd assume it is also not impossible to remove it from the fabric again.

pretty nice stuff. i was bummed out when the fabric section in my local ikea was reduced to maybe 10 different fabrics i did not like but i did stumble upon this nice hot-glue velcro in the once vast fabric aisle.

reposition it from the fabric

Gyaru Culture/Fashion Anonymous 20440[Reply]

Anyone else like any Gyaru fashion types? I know there’s a lot but please anyone. I hate the Gyaru Reddit and Gyaru on most other sites are annoying they/them egirl types who get the style wrong. I want Gyaru in its purest form untainted by TikTok or twitter. I know it’s unappealing to some people because most styles are tacky/extreme/or straight up against conventional beauty, but I like it because it feels free and unrestricted by beauty standards. It’s about being crazy and wild so it’s fun. I’ll be dumping Gyaru pics from most styles but if you like Gyaru feel free to add any or we can all discuss Gyaru.

the type of gyaru you seem to like is called manba and ganguro theyre all pretty "extreme" or just well, over the top. my fashion preference when it comes to gyaru fashion is more agejo, goshikku, rokku and oneegyaru..hime is also a really common fashion style which i like too

applying glycolic acid a few times a day and then thick moisturizer/bio oil/cocoa butter. and keep them out of the sun cause it'll make them much worse

Anonymous 20496

I don't think it's worth stressing yourself out. i have pretty bad ones on my legs but eventually it gets hot enough outside that i stop giving a fuck and just wear the shorts. There is a lot of societal pressure for people to just mind their own business so even if they notice things like that they aren't gonna go through the awkwardness of bringing it up with you. I've only ever had like 2 people mention it to me in a solidarity type way which is still pretty awkward but not rude or anything.

Anonymous 20520

i have scars on my inner upper thighs, so not very noticable.
I make sure to exfoliate them more as part of my shower routine and used lemon and baking soda when they were pinker. A tattoo (whether temporary or not) is something i have been considering, probably like a robot/cyborg looking body tattoo.

The sunscreens I use are a mix of both, but I do prefer chemical sunscreens as I also make an effort to stay out of the sun.

I think it's as easy as the fact that, short of having literal deformities, a skinny body is almost guaranteed to look nice. Whereas chub aesthetics are very dependent on the person's genes. I used to weigh 15 kilos above my usual average for a couple of years and guess what? It all fucking went into my shoulders and belly.
