Shiny larvitars too

I havent gotten any shinys and have only seen them at gyms. Are they shiny when you see them on the map or do you have to battle to see them, or do you only know after catching them?

You only know when you load them up to catch. My shiny Charmander was noticeably in the catch screen iirc

If my health and gym class knowledge holds up the reason people gain it all back is a combination of some muscle loss which slows the metabolism and not actually fixing their eating habits, so they eat like they are still at their heavier weights and they gain it right back.

This can be combated by slowly increasing your calories to their new level and doing some muscle building while eating carbs and protiens to gain muscle.

Most of the initial weight lost on keto is not fat. It's water weight and the glycogen in your muscles, as well as muscle loss. When you have the carbohydrates in your diet to replace your body's fuel reserves that puts on a large amount of weight quickly. We're talking 15 or 20 pounds for a person would be a typical range.

People may also continue to overeat and put on weight after that.

More studies are being done that are suggesting that high carb low fat diet are great for athletic performance, overall health, weight loss, and sustainability.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5384055/

Long-term LCHF diets appear to be safe and may even improve several metabolic risk factors for chronic diseases in the general population. LCHF diets provide a promising way to help control body weight and fat mass while maintaining lean body mass in athletes engaged in weight-sensitive sports. There is emerging evidence that LCHF diets could be beneficial, particularly for performance in ultra-endurance sports. Their effect on field-based sports that require repeated high-intensity activities is also promising. It appears that at least several months of adaptation to a LCHF diet are required for the metabolic changes and restoration of muscle glycogen to occur.

So eat your potatoes. Just don't add the butter!

Literally said eating lots of carbs was keto, that was blatantly false and if that's the shit you were doing, I'm not surprised you chugged the weight back on.

But let's be serious, a person who's aggressive about vegan ethics isn't going to be somebody who ever actually done keto.

Again, begone Vegan.

I did keto for a while and seeing how wasteful it was sparked the action for me to give it up entirely. No one needs to eat as many animal products as this diet promotes. It's an environmental and health disaster. It was realizing how poorly aligned that diet was to my values that pushed me over.

Under 50 grams of carbs a day is considered a low carbohydrate diet. You can do keto with up to 50 a day. I understand the range is usually under 25 and that's what my personal macros were at. It's untenable to eat that way for life. As soon as you go over the weight comes back.

No one that practices vegan can continue keto. Plenty of people have done keto and wised up about the negative environmental impact that diet has. Some people are capable of reflection and personal growth. Don't worry, you might get there!

I have read a lot of negatives of keto, but that one never came up. Source?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2980360/

In conclusion, the present study shows that a high-fat KD causes hepatic insulin resistance in mice, which can be attributed to an increase in hepatic DAG content, leading to PKC activation and subsequent impaired insulin signaling. Moreover, this study found that a KD increases energy expenditure, which results in weight loss. Given the widespread use of KD in the treatment of obesity and the role of NAFLD and hepatic insulin resistance in promoting type 2 diabetes, these results may have important clinical implications, as obese patients on such diets could lose weight but develop NAFLD and hepatic insulin resistance.

The good thing is it does seem to reverse itself over time, but it does mean that yes your insulin resistance gets fucked up and you will put that weight right back on

Remember that time you dumped citations that actually supported keto because you know so damn little? And how you didn't reference doing keto prior, only conveniently now to try BS some more "evidence"?

Keto was a large part of what pushed me to go vegan, it's so nasty. I've mentioned it before in other topics if not in that topic. It's not evidence it's my anecdotes. I have actual experiences with that diet.

You've misremembered the articles. You dismissed them as not "real keto" when the results did not support the diet as healthy or sustainable for weight loss long term.

It is probably not the healthiest way to lose weight, but it is working so far, it is not something I would do long term though.

Then stop now. When you get off keto you are going to gain that weight back and slow your metabolism.

It's just not worth it.

Fuck off, you know fuck all about keto.

I did keto successfully twice. The overemphasis and gluttony of animal products within that diet was so disgusting I gave them up entirely. Doctors saying it's not healthy or recommended cemented that.

When you stop keto that weight lost comes right back and your insulin resistance can get messed up

I dunno I dont really pick up any vibes from that video

Theyre going after Wil Wheaton now on Twitter saying that he must have known about all of it and he is also to blame for staying silent. I dont know what to think. Of course victims should speak out and be able to have closure and get their personal power back, but I also dont like the mob mentality that forms in response to accusations. A lot of people just seem hungry for blood.

He immediately touched his face and tensed up when Weinstein was mentioned. When the next questions followed and were not about him and abuse he seemed relieved. That's the vibe I got

I think really at this time all this nonsense blowing up is a convenient distraction from the issues with the administration

Her article didn't name a person, it certainly seems to be Hardwick from the details. She has the right to speak up about abuse from an unnamed partner in an essay to explain how hard it is to leave an abusive relationship.

That makes me think there must be at least some truth to what she is saying. I dont understand why people have to be so awful to each other behind closed doors

She really did follow his advice and used social media to empower herself and not be a silent victim any longer

I just personally dont think its fair to take one persons side over a personal relationship when the details were private. Im very wary of people being judged by the court of public opinion.

Like Hardwick had been doing for years about her before she spoke out?

She was in an abusive relationship and now felt she could speak out

No, they just quarantine her for 10 days and they'll put her back out. She's not aggressive towards people. They may have done that if she is human aggressive but the only reason I got bit is because I was breaking up a dog fight and my hand got in the way.

Yeah this is a requirement from the local health board for rabies protocol. Animal stays at shelter for 10 days under observation to rule out rabies. Only other alternative is examination postmortem. Animal rescuers can understand the difference between a fear reaction and human aggression.

Less nitrates than bacon for sure

Hmm, my bacon and hot dogs are both nitrate free.

So youre eating uncured bacon? Where are you finding that?

Whole Foods. My hotdogs are made from 100% grass fed beef.

When I bought nitrate free meat at whole foods they were doing the celery salt trick that added even more nitrates to the meat than normal processing

If the ingredients have celery salt run away

I don't have an issue with the naturally occurring nitrates in celery salt. It's still less sodium and nitrates.

Naturally occurring carcinogens are still carcinogens

Shih tzus and small breed dogs generally find homes very easily. Even if they're only pet kind of dogs. There's also private groups and rescues that are breed specific that would promote the heck out of her if they came across her info.

That's not really a joke. It's just people spreading their own racist and homophobic ideas and using her image to play it off as "it's just a prank bro"

That's not the same thing dude. That's the return period where they don't charge you to surrender an animal. You're still giving up an animal that is legally yours.

Fostering is done before the adoption is completed.

Well for me the crypto timeline started in September/October of last year. It was when the media started regularly reporting on bitcoin highs. There was tens of topics everyday on CE about it. People were complaining the bitcoin is driving the prices of GPUs up.

Now along with the bubble popping it seems even GPU prices are dropping back to normal.

some of us here have been in the game since 2013 and earlier
this is nothing

Yes for anyone that is in it long term is still a huge spike

But that's at the expense of everyone that had to buy into these coins to boost that price. There are so many new people that purchased crypto from terrible mainstream suggestions that got stuck holding the bag. It's going to make future crypto investing from the general public more difficult, and you're unlikely to see any kind of valuation spikes without that outside interest and money.

Remember how crypto was touted to all the normies last year looking to make money? Then so many got in that it spiked that price, and plenty of early adopters partially cashed out for far more than they ever could have before. It doesn't even matter if crypto recovers because they didn't buy it for much money at all. They needed to convince others to drive the price up to give their digital coin pile any value. It worked. At the expenses of everyone buying in. All while convincing others to HODL

Classic pump and dump

Yeah. You can see the spike from it in this graph from coinmarket cap.



I don't think it will ever go that high again since the trend/meme died.

As I said since the beginning, it's not a sustainable model. People will continue to say that ups and downs are normal, but dropping 150% in a year with little recovery is insane. It doesn't work as a currency, and as a resource, it is pretty stagnant.

Frankly, the only people who are still shilling it are the ones who bought in at the beginning and want to convince everyone to buy to push the price back up. All the other coins go through the same damn thing. The entire 'boom' is entirely rooted in big investors who advertised the coin and campaigned for it, not because the actual product was tangible.

The propaganda about how it will destroy banks and give the power back to the average joe was just that, propaganda. It was literally just taking away the power from banks and giving it to cabals of rich investors who could manipulate it in the exact same way banks did.

Really, though, the whole key thing to take away is blockchain. That is a great technological advancement and will long outlast any sort of crypto.

150% drop in a year with no recovery? What are your even talking about? It's only been 5 months since the highs. You realize BTC was $3k-$5k in November? And that things similarly went bad from Jan 2017 to July 2017 right?

I love how people in here even admit they don't really know what was going on and that they blindly invested or listened to people but now it's all "I told you so".

Nah, wait a full year at the very least before making final arguments.

Also regardless of anything, people in the crypto generals are still making money every day. Just off a $5k investment, I'm able to make about $1k a week. Not bad at all.

You make good points, but a lot of it has been said for years before and often disproven.

IDK about your area but I've seen a flood of mining rigs for sale as well as used cards that were obviously used as miners. The money is just not there any more with the current hardware for the average end user
