What the title says but I can ONLY workout at 0530-0630 a.m. What's my best timing so I can eat not long after end of workout, like 7-7:30? Am I right that would put my final meal about 5-5:30 pm? It seems like I'm missing something...

Check that out. That must feel really interesting an comfortable. I'd definitely prefer to get pushed down into my seat over getting pushed to the side in a turn.
Hello everyone, next week I’m going to pick up an 02’ CL55 and have heard the horror stories of the ABC going bad. I’ve looked around and had issues finding information on the proper way to maintain the system so it doesn’t fail down the road.
I read about lucid dreaming the other day, so I tried it out last night. I don’t think it worked, but something sure as hell happened.
Briefly: I lay in bed as still as possible, and I ended up conscious but with no control over my body. I was thinking clearly and had full use of my senses, but it was like my body was on autopilot. In that state, my body rolled around and stretched in bed, masturbated, cleaned up, washed my hands, changed shorts, walked around the house, and finally went back to bed. I experienced it all but had no control over any of it.
At one point, my arm flopped on my face in a position that I noted to be uncomfortable. Rather than move my arm, though, my body started poking me in the face with my other hand, like my body saying "you can't tell me what to do." After that, my arm moved off my face, but I also got a kind of playful slap on the face. I laughed.
I don’t know what it was, but it was pretty cool and also kind of freaked me the fuck out. It was like lucid dreaming, but not. Like sleepwalking, but not. What the hell happened? Has anyone else experienced something like this? Can provide more details if wanted.
I started low dose T about 2 weeks ago. So I am well aware that it is suuuuuper early on and I haven’t really started noticing any changes, nor do I expect to. However, I am maybe feeling a little change in being able to better activate certain muscles or have better body control? I train cardio and weight lifting 6 days of the week for an hour or so and I feel like I have noticed that I can activate my glutes better than before. Or is it just placebo? Anyone else notice this?
I was started on the pill in 2018. Around the same time, I was also on the heavier side and began a diet and tried (but definitely failed as I was working 2 jobs) to workout regularly. In a year, I had lost 40 pounds and was at the weight I was at in high school (I’m 25 now). I loved it and loved the way I looked. It seemed so easy to lose the weight and keep it off. I was switched off the pill in July 2020 due to having aura migraines and started Nexplanon in June 2021. During the time in between, I gained back 20 of those pounds. I’ve tried restricting my calories and working out (on top of walking my dogs at least 2 miles a day). I was already eating around 1,500-1,800 calories a day, and restricting it down to 1,300 (as recommended by MyFitnessPal) left me with more headaches and just feeling bleh. Nothing had put a dip in my weight. Each time I weighed myself I was disappointed and I was so hard on myself because losing the weight before was not this hard. I’ve come to the realization that the birth control I had in 2018 likely helped with the weight loss and maintenance and while I would love to lose those 20 pounds again, if it means skipping out on food I love and dragging myself to do a workout I hate it is NOT worth it. It took me months to get to this point of not caring (okay maybe just caring less) about the number on the scale, focusing more on how I feel, and sticking to a healthy diet I like and a workout that I find enjoyable and challenging—not just whatever will burn the most calories. I don’t have a group of girls to vent this to, and I’m hoping that someone else reading this can relate and maybe even feel better about their own birth control weight journey. Happy holidays.
i'm nonbinary/bigender, non-op & non-HRT, AFAB, extremely pear-shaped, and in recovery for an eating disorder (restrictive EDNOS).
most of the comments i get on my body are sexualized to the point of being obscene, or even downright pornographic. this is something i really struggle with, as both a survivor of multiple sexual assaults, and as a bigender person who isn't 100% a woman: i hate being told what men think of me & would like to do to me bc of how "womanly" my body is, and i hate it when women tell me they wished they have my curves, and what they would do/how they would dress/how much their husbands would love it in bed/etc. if they did. i'm sex-positive and everything (as a feminist, i mean; as a person, i'm very repulsed), but i'm a little bit creeped out that the majority of people making these comments are coworkers (who usually happen to be women, if that matters).
i've tried to explain to people how i see myself, and why i don't want them to make these comments towards me, but i always get one of three reactions: one, they'll laugh right in my face, assuming i'm making a joke, which i do kinda understand, considering i completely lack any form of androgyny, let alone masculinity, so it's kinda ridiculous to believe that something as womanly as me isn't completely a woman; two, they'll get angry and accusing me of making them "walk on eggshells" and trying to "control" them; or three, they'll assume i'm coming at this from a place of low self-esteem, and keep commenting on my body, trying to get me to change how i dress and present myself and to embrace what a "sexy woman" i am.
should i just give up hope? or is there a way to explain to them that i'm asking for the same respect they give others, just as something they haven't experienced before? or am i... wrong? am i actually forcing people to walk on eggshells around me, is my existence actually just a huge joke, and am i actually too "female" to count as nonbinary in the first place?
edit: i’m being downvoted and, while i don’t necessarily understand why, i do understand that i have crossed some line, said or done something offensive or inaccurate, spread misinformation, or otherwise took some step backward against the community i claim to be a part of, and i do understand the severity of that and the damage it can cause others. nobody is of any obligation to explain to me what i’ve done wrong, i’ll admit that i am very uneducated on my own identity/commu

Abstract
Purpose of review: Carbohydrate (CHO)-restricted dietary patterns (very-low-CHO < 25-50 g CHO/day; low CHO 50-130 g CHO/day) and physical activity are used for weight loss and type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention and management. This review discusses evidence for effects of these lifestyle therapies on body weight and glycemic control.
Recent findings: Evidence supports the view that CHO-restricted interventions may be more effective than high-CHO, low-fat (HCLF) interventions in the short term for weight loss and glycemic control, but both produced similar levels of weight loss and glycemic control by 12 months. CHO-restricted dietary patterns resulted in a decreased use of diabetes medications. Benefits of CHO restriction were achieved at intakes that did not induce ketosis. Physical activity increases insulin sensitivity and reduces pancreatic beta-cell load, enhancing the effect of weight loss to delay or prevent T2D. A CHO-restricted dietary pattern may be a reasonable option for weight loss and T2D management for some individuals. Physical activity enhances weight management and cardiometabolic health.

With it, you can do things like lose a lot of weight, never get fat, regrow your hair, prevent excess body hair, stop your heart in such a way you appear dead and not to mention stuff like “hysterical strength”
I believe it would still have limitations, like you can’t exactly regrow an entire arm, especially if you don’t have that much mass in your body to substitute. If your brain is blown off, you are dead for sure. You still need blood to function. You still need to eat and drink.
I doubt you can harden your flesh and bones to the point bullets bounce off
