Wellness Wednesday for January 22, 2025

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

I've dropped 6kg in 3 weeks, but I expect that rate to slow down.

probably lot of this is water

Does anyone have keto tips or tweaks that managed to break periods of stagnation or otherwise make good progress?

fewer calories. there is nothing really else that works . even cardio will be offset due to metabolic adaption effects. Or up protein due to higher thermic effects

I'm trying to keep cardio to a reasonable degree with 1 hour sessions of alternating walking and jogging, with a couple of weights sessions per week (barbell, but nothing crazy).

I'm currently on OMAD (One Meal A Day) to exploit the hunger suppressant effects of keto, and I'll try to maintain this. Dr Boz says the next step is fasting on alternate days, but I'm happy at the current rate and want to keep things sustainable as well as get micronutrient intake.
