Getting COVID is very effective for weight loss.

The FDA won't approve it for weight loss, because of the side effects.

Eat nutritious (lots of veggies) and get into ketosis by keeping net carbs under 20 and maybe even under 10 grams a day. Watch protein intake, keep it around .5 * body weight in lbs = grams, otherwise that sh*t will basically turn in to sugar in your body. Also, learn which proteins absorb better. E.g. egg whites only absorb less than 20% and the rest turn to glycogen (stored glucose), whereas the entire egg is way higher. Weigh yourself every day, use a scale that sends measure to your phone so you can see it on a chart. Don't give a sh*t about calories eaten or burned. Just make sure you are eating zero added sugar. Do HIIT training and take long walks. It will relax you at night and lower your cortisol. 1.5 hours of serious sport, e.g. soccer or HIIT will burn about 600 calories, but again this is not for loosing weight it will make you feel good and may help you get to ketosis faster. Have a very large metal cup that you keep ice-water in. Do no drink coffee/caffeine, it raises cortisol. No more milk. It isn't doing your body good. It helps to get MCT oil (medium-chained triglycerides) which will convert into ketones fast and allow you to "fast" from carbs immediately. There are a few ways to consume it.
Your snacks should include nuts/seeds that are low carb. Get extra light tasting olive oil and add it to everything, also sea salt. Eat the nut/seed snacks with organic peanut butter added (not the cheap skippy sh*t, because you will react to the pesticides from eating so much of it and it has added sugar). Get the ready to eat bags of spinach. They are your staple food. Cook entire thing in a big pot, add butter, salt to your liking. Cooking veggies can destroy some vitamins, but also brings out others. Learn which ones gain/loose due to cooking. Buy whole mushrooms (they are easier clean), slice and cook in a pan and add to anything. They provide more taste than most people think.
These are just some ideas. You want to burn fat for energy instead of glucose. Most people have ~70,000 calories in their body in the form of fat, and only ~1,700 calories of glucose in their blood stream. A typical person has to keep eating throughout the day to keep blood sugar levels high or they crash. The best method is to switch your body to using fat as a source for energy to loose weight. This is ketosis.
Also, start watching Dr. Berg on youtube. He has tons of presentations on keto diet and the science of it.
Good luck.

Why do you care about the rather neglactable amount of cortisol from coffee, and forbid milk, but then tell us to add butter[...] to your liking? That doesn't make any sense. If that's what your source says, I'd dump it and get medical advice instead.
As for ready to eat bags, that's about the worst way of buying fresh food! It's more expensive, adds needless packaging, and has the shortest shelf life compared to other variants. The best way is to buy it fresh from a local farmer, but if that is not an option, frozen, or even canned food is typically more healthy and less expensive. I prefer frozen over canned because it's easier to retrieve the desired amount and it doesn't contain any added stuff like BPA, sugar or sodium.
Here's[^] a good article on the subject of where to get your food, and why. The bottom line is summarized in this paragraph:
Quote: Whether fresh, frozen or canned, the nutritional benefits of produce will be received no matter how you buy them – as long as you eat them! And if buying them frozen, means you’re more likely to eat those green beans, then go for it! What’s key is being able to have produce at your fingertips for any meal or snack without having to run to the supermarket every time you want a fruit or veggie.

Actually it's the "eat right and give a damn about exercise" which are the scams 
Other than that, the only thing that comes to mind is this[^], but take care: you might be losing more than weight!

I happened to stumble across this article[^] when answering another post, and it happens to have a list of diets at the end. While all of them include exercise, it's typically not the go and sweat at the gym for 2+ hours a day - taking extended walks, a bit of biking or swimming is typically all that's required. And if you don't care for either, get yourself a dog! This will give you an additional motivation to go out for a walk and you won't feel lonely

He left it on top of the car. It flew off into the middle of the closest intersection. We left shortly after he did and hubby spied it so I reached out and grabbed it off the road. It looked like it had been run over.
He was able to recover the hard drive, but that's it, and I consider him fortunate in that regard.
He spends $2000 on laptops, and I keep telling him, cap it at like $500-$700, and get a nice computer at home. Stuff happens to laptops.
I spent $4500 on one way back when IBM still made thinkpads, and it was their bleeding edge at the time. I used it as a dev machine.
I got out of a cab and it flew out of my (for some reason unzipped) bag and crashed onto the pavement smashing the backlights and the hard drive. This is after it had been stolen and recovered mind you.
Never again.
Don't let your relatives do this. It can only end in tears.

I only buy a high-end laptop every four years or so and use it for everything. I plain refuse to synch a laptop and desktop so that I'll have what I need when not at home. I'm lazy and don't want to spend the time to set it up to make it reasonably transparent. And I make do with my laptop's screen too! Many here may find it amusing or insane, but I don't find it all that limiting. A laptop has never been a problem, though an employer-supplied one got stolen in 1999, in Sweden of all places.

I mean, I used to feel that way, but then I've had two stolen, and two broken, and seen it happen to way too many other people. Maybe I've just been unlucky, but if my bad luck holds I think I'll stick to the laptop/desktop combo.

If your bad luck holds, you'll have a broken laptop and desktop!

Okay that's fair. My linux install is hosed on my desktop as it is. it's halfway to broke.

Well, thanks for warning me off that! I assume Linux in a VM would be a lot safer?
|
|
|
|

yeah that's what I'll do next time.
i'm thinking of running a hypervisor instead of a "real" OS, but failing that, I'd probably run Win7 as my primary just because it runs even if the computer its on is being dragged behind a truck.
