3·12 hours agout when i cut down to 245 i looked anemic
That’s almost certainly body dismorphia tho…
Don’t get me wrong, BMI doesn’t work for outliers, but there’s other things that do:
https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/ponderal-index
But you’d need to be 6’5 to barely squeak under obesity at 245… That certainly wouldn’t be the cutoff where you think you look anemic, which doesn’t really make sense but I’m assuming you mean weak looking?
Like, I’m absolutely massive, 6’4, played sports thru college. I just got down to 225 for the first time in a long time, and I definitely expected it to look slimmer than I do. Like, I have some ab definition but not the full blown six pack I thought I’d have at this weight when I was a lot heavier.
If i manage to get down to 280, ill look into trying to trim down some more while building actual muscle bulk
As a wise man once said:
Mac, at some point you need to stop cultivating mass, and start harvesting it.
Most importantly:
The glp1 has given me control of my diet i have never had before…
It’s not giving you control, it’s drugging your body so it stops sending hunger signals. As soon as you go off those drugs, you’ll gain the weight back.
Like I said in the beginning, just start eating high fiber foods, and then you can literally eat as much of everything else that you want. You just won’t want anything else because you’ll be full of fiber.
It’s the same result as those drugs, except essentially free, a lifestyle change you can do forever, and even if you eventually give up, you’re more likely to keep the weight off due to changing habits.
Seriously man, I’m not trying to just tear you down, but if you redirect the same energy you’re already putting in, you can see some really good results.
All you gotta do is:
-
Cardio
-
Eat fiber

Fitness@lemmy.world•Protein/supplement questions over 50English
6·14 hours agoI am a generally large framed man with a comfortably fit weight of around 260-280. Less than that I start to look sickly
I mean…
That’s just crazy tho, even if you’re like 6’8 and were decades deep on a sustained body building program, and it still wouldnt be healthy then.
Even if it’s all muscle and low body fat, you’re going to have heart issues.
And you’re taking creatine to bulk up?!
You’re making you’re problems worse. Start doing cardio instead of weights, and focusing on eating high fiber foods instead of “dieting” by not eating anything.
But you probably need to talk to an actual doctor bro.

News@lemmy.world•FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: AlertEnglish
24·14 hours agoThat’s literally the official story…
Israel was going to attack, which would have lead to Iran attacking US allies, so the US attacked Iran first.
It’s the same as a kid saying:
If I had taken his lunch money he’d have fought back, so instead of asking I sucker punched him and took it. I didn’t do anything wrong, it was self defense!
Like, that’s the logic our foreign policy is operating under right now.

There’s undoubtedly more, I just thought for a second it was observed in a new species and they forgot about this one.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Pentagon bans press photographers over ‘unflattering’ photos of Hegseth: reportEnglish
1041·15 hours agoThis is a lot more serious than the headline…
Photographs from the briefings are immediately released online for the public and press to use. If that hurts the business model for certain news outlets, then they should consider applying for a Pentagon press credential,” Wilson wrote.
Last year, the Pentagon implemented a new rule for media that required credentialed outlets to agree to a new policy that states reporters cannot gather or publish information from the Defense Department that is not explicitly authorized.
That includes declassified information or off-the-record conversations, no matter where the information was obtained.
Many mainstream media outlets refused to sign the agreement, finding the new rules oppressive. As a result, major broadcasters such as Fox News, ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News; legacy newspapers such as the Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal; and other outlets lost their Pentagon press credentials.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Betting on nuclear Armageddon means you don't think it will happen.English

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why there are no media reporting about the times prediction markets(Like Polymarket and Kalshi) fail?English
4·19 hours agoIt’s not that they report when someone “wins”
They report on huge bets made last minute on longshot odds.
If someone dropped 500k on war and lost, that would be newsworthy.
You seem to be operating under the assumption those are “smart bets” and not someone who knows the answer making easy money off of you and others who really are just guessing.

23·2 days agoWeapony that the former USSR had claim to and would have been a justification for intervention.
Hate to break it to ya…
But after the dissolution of the USSR, there wasn’t anymore USSR.
Russia had claim to those weapons, just like the nukes.
Ukraine kept the conventional equipment, and gave up the nukes back to Russia instead.
This isn’t a hypothetical, this is what happened, and if you don’t know what happened, it’s hard to trust you on hypotheticals. Youre making them without all the facts

12·2 days agobut at the time the only thing they had were nukes.
Wildly incorrect…
Like just look at any map, Ukraine was the front line to Europe, think about how much military is built up in Texas because it’s a border. Ukraine had a shit ton of all types of weaponry when the USSR dissolved

55·2 days agoYep, anytime it comes up a shit ton of .ml accounts all keep insisting it wasn’t necessary even tho the alternative would have caused more deaths and a shit ton more human suffering while ignoring that it fucking worked even when the Japanese government considered imprisoning the emperor to prevent him from surrending before the bombs were used.
That’s what people don’t get, Japan wasn’t going to surrender. The military had seized control and would 100% continue fighting to the last person, the only thing that stopped them was showing that continuing to fight would leave all of Japan a barren rock.
The complete destruction of their island was the only thing that would have worked.
But as sure as I just said that, it’s all hypotheticals and guesses, no one really knows how much it would have taken without nukes, but every indication is it would have taken a lot.

World News@lemmy.world•‘Charismatic and extremely confident’: how to recognise – and handle – a psychopathEnglish
42·2 days agoI… uhh… disagree intensely that Harriet Tubman would meet any of the diagnostic criteria of psychopathy
Well, you also keep using an outdated pop psych term instead of the actual clinical diagnosis…
So my first guess would be you’re not actually familiar with the criteria in the first place.
And youve somehow made it this far without reading any of the things I’ve said:
Callback to my first comment illustrating that if you only study criminals, you’ll only find criminals…
But I assure you that violence was still part of the underground railroad, and there’s no way her hands were clean. Even avoiding physical violence, that kind of only leaves manipulation.
And diagnosis criteria aren’t a checklist where if you don’t get them all, you pass clean.
Like, that’s another thing I’ve already said, it’s not binary, it’s a spectrum like basically everything else.

101·2 days agoWe did send them aid.
We pledged armies…
30 years ago Ukraine was the 3rd largest nuclear superpower in the world.
They didn’t trade that for a couple crates of old ARs and malfunctioning body armor
Ukraine got a major economic boon from disarming.
Completely wiped out by the multiple Russian invasions…
They traded real security for comfort, and comfort always can be taken away.
It’s almost impossible to get real.security, look at Iran.
Like, there’s no rational reason for a sovereign country not to be developing their own nukes these days. And that’s dangerous

59·2 days agoDepending on where the fleet is, this could potentially be done with no direct civilian casualties.
And huge environmental damage leading to indirect death and suffering at a wide scale…
It’s pretty clear cut: the Americans dropped the nuke to primarily rule out Soviet influence as opposed to being a decisive means to end the war
No, that’s from an opinion on a random website it doesn’t prove anything, just tells you the authors opinion…
Your new one agrees with me at least:
To regard Hiroshima as a moral violation is also to condemn the firebombing campaign, which was deliberately aimed at city centres and completely indiscriminate.
But I didn’t bother reading more than you quoted.
