A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What method did you use to get to need new holes when most of the world is going in the other direction?
it's just calories in vs calories out. A better diet paired with more exercise.
Get an idea of how many calories you burn in a day (you can search for a BMR calculator to give you a ballpark), and eat less than that. I started going on runs, and eating a slightly healthier diet.
I have tried about every diet and that one didn't work at all for me. After all the common ones I did Atkins for a few months to great success, but couldn't keep it up. Then the internet renamed Atkins induction to keto and I tried that for about six months a few times and always failed and put on all I lost.
Then from low carb I found zerocarb and that was the first easy diet. Now zerocarb is called carnivore and I'm still on it, slowly becoming thinner
If you eat less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. That's just science - that works universally. I don't really think these fad diets are a good way to view health. There's a lot more to a healthy diet than just losing weight - your body needs carbohydrates, in fact carbs should be your primary source of calories and foregoing all carbs isn't a healthy way to lose weight.
