  • not going to lie, it hurt a lot the first time… but everytime i redo my arms, it hurts less, though i have to also admit i miss the pain a little ^^’

    i think those scars ought to be fine … if in doubt, use tweezers near them instead, takes longer, hurts less, but eventually the regrowing hair will become thinner, a little, and then you can just use the epilator there too… i do it like moving the device into the hairs along the skin untill it hurts, then i pull back and lift off so it doesnt touch any more, repeat. also make sure the hair you epilate isnt to long, the longer it is the more likely it snaps, instead of being ripped out :3






  • it’s tragic, not even the pharaohs were allowed to enjoy eternity playing overwhat or valthever with anubis… wasnt the point of the pyramids to their remains to be left undisturbed? what if they get? they haunt the earth? that would explain alot actually, lets call that accumulation of ghost essence theory, or age theory, by which the bullshit accumulates over the ages and eventually there wont be anyone left to follow the old rites and …

    ok i ran dry. thank you for listening to my ted talk




  • yeah protein powders are kinda a godsend for those who dont want to binge on meat, cheese and fish… which all can lead to constipation if overeaten (at least meat and cheese, but fish can contain mercury and other shit…)

    still not a doctor: yes that craving is probably your blood sugar doing its rounds on your insulin rollercoaster. chocolate is good for the mood so im not suggesting dropping it entirely, but perhaps shift to darker chocolate types, the higher the cocoa contents the better. (please buy them from some good fairtrade thingie if you have the money :) the important bit is to not snack on anything that contains sugars in the sense of fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose or some sirup of them (which is just to say someone added water i think…)

    instead try nuts if you must snack, but try to stick to 3 regular healthy meals per day and the cravings inbetween will diminish. again, i still am not studying medicine nor am i practicing it or anything just regular janet doing her own bullshit research and reasoning…

    i would consider honey as better than processed sugar, but only by a margin. i did read about some honey with a low glycemic index, but in the end it mostly consists of simple sugars, so… even if i did have some low GI honey, i wouldnt snack on it directly but maybe use it as an ingredient and in moderation. if you like nuts, {i hope you like nuts, (pls like nuts)}, you could use it as the “glue” in a nutbar if you want to give it a go with arts and crafts ^^

    fruit is good, as it’s healthy, but most fruit has a high GI (though being a natural produce they all vary in sugar content but on average;), but my google searches for “glycemic index fruits” comes up with cherries and apples having a lower GI than other fruit

    bananas are particularly starchy so no wonder their GI is higher than oranges, but i didnt expect apples to win that one… grapefruit are the fruit with the lowest GI btw. but e.g. yoghurt has a bit more than half the GI of grapefruit, but in both cases, just the plain yoghurt, just the plain grapefruit …

    anyhow. i would recommend getting stuff like bread and noodles made from wholemeal flour and also rice can be bought with husks or somethign and i can assure you its delicious…

    potatoes? yeah i think they are kinda neat actually… and rich in fiber too. boiled in salt water, add some cubed bacon and you already have a delicious meal, perhaps some sauerkraut on the side too? fuck im hungry


  • not a doc here, so im just pulling this out of my ass, but considering that t increases muscle mass or output i dont really know, but anyway you probably need some extra protein?

    again, not an expert but i was using keto to lose weight (i think the most effect came from me not drinking sweet drinks anymore, so… just water, but that wasnt all that i changed about my nutrition :)

    carbs are of course a good source of quick energy, but keeping to a low glycemic index (foods making blood sugar rise more slowly) is generally advisable and artificial sweeteners may not have any direct impact on blood sugar but the reward center is still involved… nutritional fibers can (when introduced to quickly) lead to bloating… and many other things can bloat too probably…

    so… i generally would recommend talking to a physician about the feeling of bloat, but cutting out carbs with a high glycemic index and avoiding sweets is in my opinion always recommendable and bam your in mediterranean/low-carb/keto/paleo terrain and most people dont like to listen anymore xD the problem with nutrition as a science is that most nutritional pyramids were developed with the assumption that if you eat fat you will become fat, which isnt the whole story… if your body is bathing in glucose it doesnt need to take on the effort NOW to burn fats, but can much more quickly burn glucose and store everything else (including left over glucose that wasnt used up right now) in fat cells… more or less… so a high-carbs high-fat diet might lead to weight gain in most cases, but it also depends on circumstances and how the body has been run in, so to speak; gut bacteria can change over time, so someone eating little to no carbs, eventually will have a different gut biome than before the switch from the standard high-carb diet.

    it’s a complicated topic and im not too knowledgable about it but maybe these couple pointers can help you along to research further on your own. maybe get a book with the nutritional values (including the glycemic index) of all sorts of foods, it can be fun comparing their stats too ^^ perhaps a nutritional value compare-your-stats card game would be neat

    oh, one more thing: industrially processed foods are bad mkay


  • a true poet <3

    this wasnt meant sarcastic or anything. just now i was thinking about what radical eagle said and eventually the thought came “i dont want to be a woman.” then i corrected the thought to “i dont want to be a man” but then i thought about why i wouldnt want to be a woman and well, not in this world… but i wouldnt want to keep trying to keep the act up to be a man… probably helped that i was in a bit of a theater thingie as a child…

    i have this habit of dwelling on how if my childhood had been different or something, i could have gotten something to prevent my voice from changing… i was in a choir as a child, sang in sopran … sure, later i stayed there with my bass voice and still had fun… but my vocal range has always felt heavily stunted in the upper region without resorting to falsetto… which is cool and all but like… i used to be able to get there without getting all nasaly about it… sure, i was tiny and so was my throat and stuff, but … i had a lot of fun with that organ… not so much with the dlc that dropped suddenly. and getting into anything remotely well as into singing was HARD and discouraging and i was an awful child… well, my parents were awful parents that were parented themself horribly, so there is that and it probably has been going on for at least ww1 but fuck if i knew and i dont even want to :)

    anyway, cheers!
