Find that hard to believe. Medicine are always bad for you when you don't need it. There we go. Ignorance confirmed. Sorry. Forgot to mention I meant to exclude homeopathic and placebo medicine. Even if you want to take a hands-on approach, it is hard to figure out which risk groups to put on a 'aspirin a day' plan. Hard to figure out when you are doing more god than harm. Ignorance confirmed, wow. Aspirin; no side effects as of today. Guy on TL said so!
Nobody said aspirin has no side effects. How is the NLM NIH for a source?

I'm trying to suppress my appetite, will 200mg caffeine 2-3 times daily work enough by itself? I have no idea where to get ephedrine other than through darknet markets, and I don't want it that bad. Anything not *that* bad for you (I'm going to try to drink a lot more water) I can take to further suppress my appetite?

Crazy as it may sound, dark chocolate is relatively good at suppressing appetite. Drinking a lot of water should also help fill you up, as well as eating foods that are high in fiber. It's easier to fill up on less food than it is to prevent yourself from getting hungry.

Why didn't anyone show me Quinoa sooner? It's like the perfect food, delicious, super easy to make, and a true bomb packed with micros and macros. Only issue I guess it's high in calories but if you are looking to gain quinoa is just amazing.

Don't know how good that site is either, but if I compare 100g servings there quinoa is like twice as rich in nutrients compared to white rice.

I would recommend snacking on baby carrots. Pretty filling and it's good for you, so why not?

Its a crude comparison, but adding up all the percentages of DV gives 99 for rice and 133 for quinoa. Quinoa has more than white rice, but I'm not terribly impressed tbh.
Considering it does contain more protein and fewer carbohydrates, I'd definitely prefer a cup of quinoa over rice though.
edit* It does have a nice earthy flavor as well indeed.

It also tastes amazing = huge advantage over rice.

If you are looking to gain you can definitely eat way more rice than you can quinoa.

So for the last few weeks i've been dieting without dieting
Basically what this is is using a common sense approach. Eating only home cooked food, and drastically reducing my portion size (especially at dinner time - breakfast remains the same and lunch portion is slightly reduced). I still eat some fatty foods, but generally i'm trying to keep carbs fairly low and eat plenty of protein. I've also been cooking my veg basically until they're hot instead of being cooked through. Its not rocket science. Combined with some light exercise I have lost 1 1/2 stone in 3 weeks. Mind you, i was really fat to begin with (19 stone).
I have also completely cut out snacking. Every time I want a snack i exercise until i'm sweating and drink a shitload of water. The hardest part of this has been keeping my appetite low. I tend to eat half a grapefruit for breakfast which apparently is useful for this, and i drink an awful lot of water, which also helps.

Is that 1.5 stone or 0.5 stone? I read it as 1.5 stone which means over 9kg.
A 9kg loss in 3 weeks translates to a 3000 calorie daily deficit, which is nearly impossible even if you are really fat. A lot of it could be water weight from cutting out carbs, but its still quite a lot of weight. Perhaps a more rigorous approach than common sense would be prudent to make sure you are eating an appropriate amount. You could very well be doing everything right, but such a weight loss should be cause for concern as well as pride. Just my thoughts, good job on the weight loss.

How is the Ketogenic Diet viewed ITT? I know a lot of the commonly accepted dogma among nutrition scientists and the general public is still directly the calories in/calories out stuff.
I started following it last fall after months of my dad recommending it to me. Both me and my father are quite skeptical people so it took me a long time to finally believing him about it, but I decided to take the plunge. He's also quite a discerning person and has been following/doing research on these things for years and finally moved away from the cal in/cal out belief about a year ago. I've seen so much convincing information about it that I'm more confident about this than any other health related belief that I've ever looked into. Furthermore, I think the evolutionary background that forms the basis for humans difficulty in consuming large amounts of carbohydrates makes complete sense.
Regardless, I'm very sold on it after personal experience and research. I'd like to hear others have to say
I'll add that I am in BY Far the best shape of my life. I don't think I'll ever go back to anything else.

regardless of how you distribute your fat and carb calories ( and it is important to do so carefully on a diet such as this). i think 6 feedings a day with at least one quality protein source in all 6 feedings is essential. Quality Protein = chicken, beef, fish.
if u can.. catch the fish urself and go to a farmer you know for the chicken and beef.

Of course I always pay attention carefully to my protein/fat sources. Like most people on Keto I eat meat a primarily meat + vegetable diet.
here's my (large, actually) breakfast this morning.
I try to keep my daily carb intake <20g or so. Although you can't always be perfect.
The only other thing I do is weight training every other day, and interval training on the off days.

The general consensus you'll find around here is to follow the IIFYM general guidelines. Keto, intermittent fasting, and other restrictive dietary dogmas can work for you but are generally perceived as nifty sideway approaches for you to get your diet under control. Their huge cult following on the internet doesn't help reputation wise, but if it works for you stick with it.
