Love avocados and I use avocado oil instead of corn or vegetable oil. It does heat quickly and can burn easily. It's not always possible but I try to buy as close to the original source as I can.
I have read that it can be problematic for people with type O blood but it's not like it was a study or something so I don't know if that's legit or not.
This is a simple straight-forward article on seed oils and how they became such a regular part of the American diet. Pretty scary TBH.
There's a graphic at the end that shows you which seed oils are the worst and which ones are mostly okay.
@wpony714 gets it. Good info sharing thanks. My wife would love this thread. She keeps me clean.
Interesting and quick read. Cottonseed oil in the form of Robathol (combined with a trace of a detergent to make it miscible in water) was a standard recommendation of mine for my eczema and dry skin patients. Sadly, it was recently discontinued. It was an excellent moisturizer.
If your insurance covers it, get Wegovy. I lost 30lbs on it and am back to my Marine Corps fighting weight. My mom has lost almost 100lbs on it. It is practically a miracle drug.
I lost 35 lbs last summer by doing a REALLY COMPLEX system. It's called walking. That's all. I started with 2 miles and tried to increase my pace from 3.4 mph to about 4.1 miles if I felt like it. I usually just put the earbuds in, turned on the Braves' game, and listened. Sometimes, I walked early in the morning, before the heat set in. It really helped me to get more energy throughout the rest of the day.
I did not cut out beer. Ain't happening.
Are you planning to go off it?
math even simple enough for me to understand. Calories in less than calories burned More miles walked = more been you can drink w/o gaining weight. it may not be accurate but sure sounds good.
Yes, that seems to be the issue with semaglutides, rarely sustainable long-term. So far, there aren't enough studies to determine long-term side effects and just a few studies focused on what happens when the medication stops.
The 2 biggest post-semaglutide impacts are weight gain and blood sugar. The majority of the weight lost is re-gained and blood sugar levels go back to where they were pre-medication.
I think what a lot of non-diabetic patients on this medication are missing is that while patients are told it's an appetite suppressant and they can eat anything, overall health success is only going to happen if lifestyle is addressed. Diet and exercise still matter.
I live in Orange County. I walk the beaches. The most common side effect I see is what people call "Ozempic face". These women lose the pounds and gain the face wrinkles. Not a good look.
EXACTLY.
Yeah I was tempted to finagle a prescription somehow until I read the weight comes back anyway. There’s just no shortcuts in life and we have to do the work.
I've been using it for about 2 years now and have switched to doing it every other week instead of weekly. But I plan to stay on.
That is correct. If you don't change your eating habits you won't lose weight. A lot of people don't lose weight with Wegovy because they think they can eat anything. It's not a fat burner....it just makes you less hungry. If you aren't hungry, don't eat. That's the secret. Wegovy is sustainable long term. There doesn't seem to be any long term ill effects. Just a matter of if your insurance will cover it.
If you maintain good eating habits the weight won't come back. My wife lost 40lbs and quit taking it a year ago. Hasn't gained any weight back. If your insurance covers it I highly recommend giving it a try. A lot of chiropractors are now offering a similar semiglutide product for a much lower price.
That is the home of one of my favorite restaurants in the world--wonderful views and a great place for a cheat day--Ruby's Shake Shack. Those ladies should be able to fight the sag with a couple of trips a week! LOL.
