#but in the process they lose all of their nutrients and it's bad for their health

i think my minor obsession with nate has gotten out of hand bc at 05:14 last night i apparently wrote "nate as the designated vomiting caterpillar metaphor" in my notes app and the worst part is i know exactly what i was referring to and that i was deadly serious about it

Murtagh Realizing You're Not Doing Well & Taking Care of You Headcanons

Murtagh is a very attentive, observant person and clocks that something is off with you immediately. Of course he worries, but also doesn’t want to pry or make you feel smothered, so just silently observes you for a while.

When it’s clear this is more than just a bad day, he starts keeping a more watchful eye on you, doing little things silently here and there to make your life easier. Any chores you were dreading are already done by the time you arrive, any items you need are suddenly waiting on your bed, little trinkets and your favorite foods are appearing here and there, etc.

He starts checking in with you to make sure you’re eating, drinking, and sleeping enough while gently reminding you that you’ve more than earned time to rest. If there are any tasks that are stressing you out, he offers to help or even take care of them for you with no hesitation.

Eventually, when things don’t improve and it’s clear you’re pushing yourself past your limits, he sits the two of you down and opens up about he felt after the battle in the throne room. How exhausted, angry, burned out, and completely drained both he and Thorn were and how it would’ve ended very badly for everyone involved if he didn’t take a break—all this to say, he doesn’t want to see you push yourself so hard that you lose yourself in the process and thinks a break might be a good idea, and why don’t you let him talk to Eragon about it on your behalf?

Eragon of course understands and tells you to take as much time as you need. You’re welcome to continue hanging around the academy without worrying about tasks or to take a trip elsewhere. If you feel you need to get away, Murtagh offers to show you all the cool places he found in his travels with Thorn.

If you opt to stay around the academy, Murtagh says his out of the way cottage is open to you whenever, and he even makes sure his spare bedroom is always prepared if you’re not together yet (or if your relationship is still new). If you are, of course you’re welcome in his room. He gets you all the things you need to relax, saying his book collection is all open to you, and takes care of everything—including cooking you meals that have all the nutrients you need to heal and loves making you tea.

If you need some time away and agree to accompany Murtagh and Thorn on a trip, he’s ecstatic to show you all his favorite places he found. He somehow even makes camping out in the open by the fire relaxing and secretly enjoys having you all to himself.

He seeks Eragon’s help out in learning meditation strategies, breathing techniques, and ways to cope and heal that he learned from the elves. As he’s teaching them to you, it inspires him to take better care of himself as well and it becomes a tradition for the two of you to do many of these things together.

He’s constantly bringing you little gifts, such as flowers he found in a field, your favorite snacks, or even hand-making you little wooden carvings. If he really wants to impress you, he acquires the elves’ help to learn how to make jewelry. The designs are always simple, but you can feel the love and care he put into them and never take them off.

Of course, night flights on Thorn with him are a must (or flying together on your own dragon, if you’re a Rider), usually followed by landing in an out of the way, remote location to just chat, stargaze (he loves astronomy and is pointing out all the constellations to you), snuggle, etc.

He becomes a bit more touchy feely during this time, regardless of where you are in your relationship. If you’re not together yet, they’re very shy, gentle touches to your arm, back, hand, etc. here and there. If it’s early, the touches are a little more frequent and he’s not as afraid to do things like smooth your hair, kiss your knuckles, or pull you into a hug. If you’ve been together for a while, he’s practically attached to you at all times, holding your hand, holding you against him, all the random kisses, lifting you off the ground when he hugs you, etc.

He’ll do whatever it takes to make you feel better, is constantly trying to make you laugh and smile, and always reminding you about how much better his life is with you in it.

Dare we ask y why you’re banned from making mashed potatoes?

Okay! So! Buckle up!

As I mentioned in a previous post, my mother does not trust my cooking because I tend to "experiment" and create "Frankenstein cuisine," like the time I put so much garlic in a dish my sister started choking. The mashed potatoes were one such instance.

Reverse for a second, I was taught as a kid that boiling foods causes some of the nutrients to be left in the water, so unless you also consume the water they were boiled in, you lose some of those nutrients. (I have never looked into the truth of this matter further).

This, however, led me to want to consume all nutrients possible in the potato, in all its forms, including mashed.

How would one do this? Why, obviously, using all the water it was boiled in to make it.

Now, I looked up this one technique (here our experiment problems begin) and it suggested cutting the potatoes into cubes to push them as close as possible together and only adding enough water to cover. After the potatoes were properly cooked, they would then be mashed into the little bit of covering water and be perfectly moist and then tasty once seasoned.

However, I am not good at food math, and in some department, did not dice, cube, arrange properly, or perhaps the term "barely cover" did not register for the amount of water, because once I did have them cooked and began to mash, it did not turn into the lovely, fluffy, moist, starch delicacy that I had hoped for, but instead-

Was soup.

Puree. Watery. Potato soup.

Kinda looked like that homemade paper pulp.

Now, how do I salvage an entire bag of golden potatoes made for the family dinner happening in 20min that has now been frankly horrifically liquefied?

Reduce it.

For you non-cookers out there, that means jacking the temp up to a boil so that the water evaporates and thickens whatever (usually a sauce) liquid you have cooking.

At this point, my mother had seen this culinary tragedy and was begging me to throw it all away, but I was determined.

So reduce I did. For at least 30min. People were sitting at the table waiting. Someone may have started crying (might have been me).

Finally, the potatoes had dried out enough to be considered a solid food once again and so I did proceed to season and serve.

The texture was..unique. Kinda like finely processed grits, which might have been why my dad (sole grits lover in the home) was the only one who said they "weren't that bad", while my siblings did eat them, albeit slowly, and my mother refused to touch them.

I repeated this exact same mashed potato massacre thrice afterwards.

Hence my banishment.

First & Next Chapter

Chapter 2: I Guess We're Roommates??

Word Count: 1,384

You felt a little bad that Scar had to sleep on your couch, especially since he was so tall, but he didn't complain about soreness the following morning, so you put your worries aside for the time being. There were more pressing issues anyways, such as how he would get home or your lack of Monster food.

Actually, you didn't have much food at all since you hadn't had time to go shopping since moving in. You apologized to Scar but he assured you that he would be fine for now. Apparently, he was capable of eating Human food, it just required him to use mana to absorb the nutrients rather than them being absorbed on their own. Still, you figured it would be better to pick up some groceries sooner rather than later so that he wouldn't risk completely running out of mana.

After whipping up a quick breakfast, you figured it would be a good idea to finish unpacking your apartment. It would make things a bit more homey for your guest and finding the stuff you needed a lot easier too.

From his place on the couch, Scar watched as you moved back and forth while trying to figure out where to put things. He'd shed his trenchcoat and shoes the night before and you had to admit the gray plaid flannel shirt he was wearing underneath looked good on him. You weren't sure how he did it, but despite being a skeleton, he filled out his clothes quite well. You would rather die than ask about it though.

"Do You Mind If I Help?" he asked after a little bit.

Partway through attempting to hang a picture frame, you turned around and gave him a confused look. "What? You're my guest, you don't need to do anything."

He only raised a bonebrow as you returned to hanging the picture, although you couldn't quite reach the nail even while standing on your tiptoes. After a moment of this, he sighed and stood up. Before you could ask what he was doing, he gently took the picture from you and effortlessly hung it up.

"Are You Sure That You Do Not Want My Help?" he asked, giving you a slightly smug grin.

Feeling a little embarrassed, you glanced away and began worrying at the hem of your shirt. "Well alright... But, only if you want to!"

"I Would Rather Help Than Sit Around And Watch You Continue To Struggle."

For the next few hours, you worked together to organize the apartment. Scar proved to be very good at putting together furniture, which was helpful since you'd lost most of the instructions ages ago. When you complimented his skills, he described the process like solving a puzzle and that he enjoyed putting things in their proper place. All in all, the arduous task of unpacking turned out to be almost fun with his help.

You had a feeling that he'd never seen an Xbox before if the curious looks he gave you while setting it up were any indication. You explained what it could do but the moment you said "video game" he seemed to lose interest. His brother was apparently more into that sort of thing but he did mention that he enjoyed watching documentaries. That led you to showing him how Netflix worked and while he didn't say much, you noticed his scarlet eyelights brighten at the sheer quantity of content, all at the simple press of a button.

When you took a break for lunch, you gave him a crash course on how the appliances worked, just in case. He got a little annoyed at the insinuation that you were worried he'd start a fire but in the same breath quietly thanked you for taking the time to show him.

"Human, Can I Ask You A Question?"

Mid-way through your sandwich, you could only hum in response.

"I Would Like To Know More About You," Scar continued. "Do You Have Any Family?"

You nodded and managed to swallow before answering him properly. "Yeah, I got two older brothers and as far as I know my parents are still kicking around somewhere."

He tilted his skull curiously. "You Do Not Speak With Them Very Often Then?"

You frowned and glanced away before answering. "No, I don't, and I'm happy keeping it that way."

"Understandable."

You nearly had to pick up your chin from the table.

"Why Are You Looking At Me Like That?" Scar huffed. "Your Relationship With Your Family Is None Of My Business, So What Right Do I Have To Pry?"

"O-oh." You felt your cheeks heat up. "You're right. It's just that whenever I've told people about it, they usually suggest that I'm wrong for not wanting to talk to them."

"Humans..." He muttered and rolled his eyelights.

You cleared your throat awkwardly. "You mentioned earlier that you have a brother? Can I ask what he's like?"

Scar paused for a moment and narrowed his eye sockets at you ever so slightly, as if trying to gauge your intentions. "He Is The Antithesis Of Lazy And The Most Obstinate Monster There Is..." He paused before adding in a quieter tone, "But He Is My Family And I Do Not Know What I Would Do Without Him."

You smiled a little at that. "He sounds interesting, I wouldn't mind meeting him sometime."

"Trust Me, You Do Not Want To. He Is A Complete Sleezeball That Flirts With Everyone Even Mildly Attractive."

"Well, if you say so," you chuckled. "He almost sounds like the opposite of you..."

"Indeed," he remarked gravely. "We Very Rarely See Eye To Eye, But At The Very Least, I Can Count On Him To Watch My Back.

"Is he as tall as you?"

Scar got an amused look and chuckled softly. "No, We Competed A Lot Growing Up, But Height Is One Of The Things I Was Able To Beat Him At."

You chuckled as well. While he seemed to only have harsh things to say, you got the feeling that Scar really cared about his brother. Even if they didn't always get along, it must be nice to know that they would look out for each other if things got bad. That was what family was for, right?

A shrill whistle startled you back to the present.

To his credit, Scar only looked mildly alarmed at the disruption and glanced towards your bedroom door where the sound had come from.

"That's just Pickle," you reassured him. "The spoiled brat is probably annoyed that he only has normal food to eat today."

"Ah. You Have A Pet?"

You nodded and stood up to put the dirty dishes in the sink. "I'll have to introduce you. He's a little green bird called a budgie and I've had him for...maybe three years now?"

"What Does He Like To Eat?"

"Mostly normal bird food like seeds and nuts, although I occasionally give him treats like fruits and vegetables. His favourite is actually bananas but I think he mostly just likes to shred the peel."

Scar nodded slightly and stood up, pushing his chair in as he did so. "I Have Not Seen A Budgie Before But He Sounds Entertaining," he commented.

"Oh, he is. I think you'd really like him."

Glancing around at the apartment, you smiled at how much progress you'd both managed to make. "Thanks for helping by the way, you really didn't have to."

Scar rolled his eyelights and huffed. "Well, I Wanted To, But You Are Welcome, Human."

"If you want to take a break, we could go get some groceries? After all that work, I'm craving something sweet anyways."

"It Is Your Decision But I Do Not Mind Either Way."

You grabbed your wallet and keys. "Good, because I think Pickle will hold it against me if I don't get him his fruit fix soon."

Scar chuckled quietly and followed you outside. After you'd locked the door, he asked, "I Take It You Like Sweets?"

"Yeah, I guess you could say I have a bit of a sweet tooth. What about you, big guy?"

He shrugged. "I Do Not Indulge Very Often But I Do Enjoy Sweet Things On Occasion."

"Then there's no reason not to go all out, huh?" you suggested teasingly.

[ovaruling]

@thebloodiestmary its idea is that fat should make up the largest percentage of your dietary intake, with as few carbs as possible. carbs are demonized to an extreme that has made them synonymous with “weight gain” and they’re treated like toxins or contaminants. there is an obsession to have as close to zero carbs as possible in your daily intake, although the general starting point tends to be “under 100g” as the novice and then graduates to “under 50g” as the intermediate.

most of the diet is, of course, animal products. high fat, slightly less high protein (excess protein is converted to glucose and thus evil), and minimal carbohydrates.

fiber, however, cancels out “bad” carbohydrates in this theory. if a food has 10g carbs, but 4g of those are fiber, then in the keto world that food contains 6g of “net carbs.” it is a crazy-making algebraic way of calculating your intake. and even though fiber is a focus, it is de-prioritized completely in this diet which is so full of animal protein and animal fat that i am not surprised to see many keto fanatics come out with bowel cancers or leaky gut or heart disease or high liver enzymes/fatty liver disease or gallbladder disease/gallstones.

the idea is no sugar, no carbs. as little glucose activity as possible.

people tend to lose weight on it usually because they are actually eating fewer calories than they usually would, but not realizing it. keto usually counts by macros, not by calories. in fact, it often discourages calorie tracking. this sounds promising, but it also means most people who lose so much weight with it don’t tend to realize that it’s because they’re in a large caloric deficit. it’s a scam! if you tracked your calories you’d probably realize you were in a deficit all along, and that THAT’S why you’re losing weight, not bc of some magical keto spell.

only eating meat and dairy and eggs will do that. meat and dairy and eggs are PRIMARY weight loss foods and always have been. keto fanatics feel smug because they’re eating bacon and steak and fried eggs and full-fat cheese, but they don’t realize how few calories they’re taking in by eliminating all other foods.

keto has a bad reputation for making its dieters paranoid about fruit, beans, whole grains, and even vegetables.

hardcore keto dieters barely get any of those in their diet. but they lose weight, so it must be healthy!

their boasting of “lower cholesterol” and “lower blood sugar” is almost certainly bc they are losing weight IN A CALORIC DEFICIT.

it is not possible to lose weight if you are not in a caloric deficit.

there is the famous “keto flu” onboarding stage where you feel sick and tired for about a week or sometimes more as you “wean” off of carbs. that is your body starving for nutrients lol. it’s starving. you feel sick and exhausted bc you have almost nothing going in.

and i can say this with confidence bc i fell for this diet hardcore when i was 20. i lost tons of weight eating “fatty” foods. what was actually happening was rabbit starvation—i was getting so much protein and so few other nutrients that i was actually starving myself.

it’s a poisonous diet, nothing more than a weight loss fad, wholly unsustainable, and wildly expensive btw.

any “benefit” that anyone claims comes from it is usually simply from the process of weight loss in a deficit if one’s original health problems (usually heart or diabetes related) were due to being overweight.

and yeah again i won’t even bother to get into what happens to one’s colon and bowels in general eating that many animal products and hormones and that much fat with little to no fiber. with all its parading of red meat and bacon and sausage and other cured meats, it’s a recipe for colon cancer, that’s all i’ll say.

it’s done so much damage to our understanding of food and balanced nutrition and it’s sneaky and dishonest in its ~famed results. it’s a fancy way of getting yourself into a caloric deficit, that’s all.

if all you ate in one day was a McDonald’s value meal at 1200 calories or whatever, you’d lose weight. you’d be in a deficit. keto makes you think it will be possible to consume 5000 calories of fatty fried foods and lose weight—but that literally is not what happens. you usually remain in a deficit because you’re starving trying to keep your carbs as low as possible. and you don’t notice it bc you’re not keeping track of calories, only grams of carbohydrates vs grams of fat.

so many topics exist on keto forums like “why am i not losing weight with keto?!” and answers will urge the user to eat less lmfao. or go on a “fat fast” to “get your body to prioritize burning fat as its primary source of energy” which is eating mostly like 90% fat as your intake majority with 0g of carbs. aka starvation.

you cannot train your body to “prioritize” fat as its primary source of energy. it will ALWAYS prefer carbohydrates as the most efficient and easily digestible source of fuel. the only way you can sustain “ketosis” (which is a dangerous medical condition btw) is by never feeding yourself enough carbs so that your body literally thinks it’s starving—BECAUSE IT IS!!!! you’re “burning fat” bc you are STARVING!!!!

and yeah. just. terrible for your gallbladder, your liver, your digestion, your heart, your inflammatory system, everything. horrific diet.

tl;dr—snake oil, low energy starvation recipe for bowel cancer!

What are some common weight loss myths and misconceptions?

Here are some of the common weight loss myths and misconceptions in a straightforward way:

“Carbs make you fat”: Carbs aren’t the enemy. It’s more about the type and quantity. Whole grains, fruits, and veggies are good carbs. Processed carbs like white bread and sugary snacks are the ones to watch out for.

“You need to exercise like crazy”: While exercise is important, weight loss is mostly about diet. You can’t out-exercise a bad diet. Regular, moderate exercise combined with healthy eating is key.

“Skipping meals helps”: Skipping meals can backfire. It can slow down your metabolism and make you more likely to overeat later. Regular, balanced meals are better.

“Fat-free means healthy”: Not always. Fat-free products often have added sugars and other unhealthy ingredients to make up for the lack of fat. Healthy fats, like those in avocados and nuts, are good for you.

“Detox diets and cleanses work”: Your body naturally detoxes itself. Fancy cleanses can be unnecessary and sometimes harmful. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of water is a better way to support your body.

“All calories are equal”: Technically, yes, but where they come from matters. 100 calories of veggies aren’t the same as 100 calories of candy. Nutrient-dense foods are better for overall health and weight loss.

“You can target fat loss”: Spot reduction doesn’t work. You can’t choose where you lose fat. Overall weight loss through diet and exercise will eventually reduce fat everywhere.

“Supplements can replace meals”: Meal replacement shakes and supplements can be convenient but shouldn’t replace whole foods. They lack the complete nutrition that real food provides.

“Eating late at night makes you gain weight”: It’s not about when you eat, but what and how much you eat. Consuming a lot of calories late at night can lead to weight gain, but so can eating too much at any time of day.

“All diets work the same for everyone”: There’s no one-size-fits-all diet. Different bodies respond differently to various foods and eating patterns. What works for one person might not work for another.

“Healthy food is always expensive”: It can be, but there are plenty of affordable, healthy options like beans, lentils, seasonal fruits, and veggies. Planning and cooking at home can also help save money.

“You need to eat small, frequent meals to boost metabolism”: The frequency of meals doesn’t significantly impact metabolism. What matters more is the total calorie intake and the quality of the food.

“Drinking lots of water will flush out fat”: While staying hydrated is important, water alone won’t burn fat. It helps with overall health and can aid in weight loss by making you feel full, but it’s not a magic solution.

“Weight loss is linear”: Weight loss often involves ups and downs. You might lose a lot at first, then hit a plateau. It’s normal, and it’s important to stay consistent and patient.

“You have to give up all your favorite foods”: Moderation is key. You don’t have to completely eliminate your favorite foods, just enjoy them in smaller portions and less frequently.

“Strength training will make women bulky”: Strength training is great for building lean muscle and boosting metabolism. It’s very difficult for women to become bulky due to their hormone levels.

“Diet foods are always healthy”: Many foods labeled as “diet” or “low-fat” can be high in sugars, sodium, and artificial ingredients. Whole, unprocessed foods are often healthier choices.

“You can lose weight quickly and keep it off”: Quick fixes rarely lead to long-term success. Sustainable weight loss takes time, and maintaining it requires ongoing healthy habits.

“You need to go on a special diet”: Instead of a temporary diet, aim for long-term changes in your eating habits. Balance, variety, and moderation are more effective for sustainable weight loss.

“Only big changes count”: Small changes can add up over time. Swapping soda for water, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or adding a few extra veggies to your meals can make a big difference.

Remember, weight loss is personal and what works for one person might not work for another. The best approach is a balanced diet, regular exercise, and a healthy lifestyle.

[therealslimshakespeare]

This is lowkey such a random and convoluted thought but like I was thinking about this idea of losing ur period in a shitty situation such as the stalag and a part of me was like as scary and triggering and concerning as that is (because it’s just a testament to how bad the conditions really are), the opposite is sort of scary as well. Because when you think about losing ur period it’s essentially ur body shutting off all non essential bodily functions to preserve energy and nutrients to do the shit you would literally die without so it’s like if u DIDNT lose your period that’s also worrying because ur body is putting so much into keeping that process going that if u got sick or something it would hit u a lot harder

Whoa, this is very thought out, you’ve really articulated all the horror behind that far better than I’ve managed. Like when focusing on it, I’m always trying to figure out what’s actually the aspect that is so unsettling, ya know? You nailed it here

[swolesecrets]

Food is Fuel.

We all know that food is an essential part of life, but just how important is it really? In this blog we will be discussing macros, and calories, all because nutrition is the first leading factor to your results and physical well-being...

What are macro nutrients and why are they important? They are nutrients used in large amounts used by the body in order to perform it's daily tasks. In these sub groups, we can find protein, carbohydrates and fats. With various misconceptions concerning these essential nutrients, I would like to clear up misinformation.

I think that the most common one talked about amongst the three, especially in the fitness world would be protein. Okay, but why do we talk about protein, what does it really do... Also explained in Biology, proteins are used in order to create new cells during the process of mitosis, and to repair damaged cells, which is exactly what happens when exercising. The muscle fibers are torn and then fixed with the protein we ingest. All of this to say that if you want to get "bigger muscles" eat your protein.

I typically aim for my bodyweight in protein grams as a daily goal so for me around 130 grams. However, it is very important to know that grams of protein, and calories don't only come from food. All food is calories, yet not all calories come from food... You see, almost all things we consume contain calories, that amount just varies based on the item in question, besides water, or specialized drinks (coke zero, diet pepsi, etc..). Therefore, when we drink juice, add dressing to our salad or add olive oil into a skillet, those are also calories, simply in liquid form, which are the sneakiest kinds of calories. For as good as "budget friendly" could get with protein... Here are some of my favourite "somewhat" budget friendly high protein foods and meals;

Cottage cheese; Personally, after basically force feeding myself to eat cottage cheese over the last year, I think that I have just learnt to enjoy it and I find it easier on the stomach compared to other protein sources. Yet many people seem to not like cottage cheese, perhaps trying to add some honey on it, I have heard was good from others, and some say they enjoy mustard.

Low fat greek yogourt; Another food that some people have troubles with would be low fat greek yogourt. I know for myself this is the case, to me it is the sour after taste, and the texture I think. I enjoy making frozen yogourt however to solve the texture problem. Although higher on the price range, in my experience, there are always atleast one pack on sale.

Chicken breast; The canned ones from costco are affordable and to me not that bad for canned chicken. I have made so may things with this product, such as chicken salad for sandwiches and wraps, butter chicken, chicken pasta and buffalo chicken wraps...

Rotisserie chicken; If canned chicken is not for you, we also buy the Whole Rotisserie Costco Chicken's. For only 8$, the whole chicken will last me, my mom and brother a whole week being used in various meals...

Turkey; Simply turkey no name lunch meat, and even lunch meat variety packs in bulk at costco, yet still available at every grocery store, are great sources of lean protein.

Robert Irvine's protein bars; Best protein bars in terms of taste for sure, having tried so many.

Premier Protein shake, or protein milk and Fairlife (when on sale); My go-to protein packed drinks, that are portable perfect for student life-syle.

EGGS! Specifically egg whites, but I am not that picky; I don't LOVE eggs however awesome and easy source of protein, the calories to protein ratio is great. I like mine "sunny side up" or "scrambled" with ketchup. Deviled eggs are also nice when I have some time to make them. On the other hand fats and carbs are commonly words that scare a lot of people, especially those wanting to lose weight, and to be honest I was one of those people once. However, carbs and fats are your primary source of energy. Carbs being used for quick and rapid acting energy, such as cardio. Yet fats are used for long term energy stock as well as absorption necessary for a healthy body. In order to do the things you love, to talk to your friends and family, perform any physical activity, and to use your brain to its full potential, fats and carbs are NEEDED. I used to track my carbs and fats, but I don't find that necessary anymore... Simply being conscious of their importance and incorporating them in my diet, is now enough for me; intuitive eating. Here are my favourite carb and fat sources;

Whole wheat pasta

English muffins

Fresh fruits

Vegetables

Oats

Cheerios honestly

Oatmeal

Salmon again

Nuts such as cashews, walnuts, peanuts, peanut butter

Avocado

So let this be your daily reminder to go eat your food, some REAL food, and stay conscious about your macro nutrients based on your goal's needs. Eating intuitively is the best way to maintain a good relationship with food while dieting, in my experience!

[mcatmemoranda]

The American diet is so unhealthy. It's a lot of high-fat, high-calorie, nutrient-poor food. And people are sedentary, inactive, and not sleeping well. Sleep also affects weight and is especially important for women as we age. Even if you have a good diet and exercise regimen, if you don't sleep well, it's harder to lose weight.

Basically, all modern food is just bad. Things that get marketed as healthy are not healthy. I always thought Cheerios were healthy until I looked at the ingredients. It's mostly just corn starch and sugar. Basically, if you want to lose weight and be healthy, just stop eating processed food altogether. Stop eating all these weird, new processed foods. Only eat what you could grow or catch yourself (i.e., nutrient-dense, whole foods). Our food is so bad and makes us sick and inflamed and fat.

If people only ate whatever they could grow or catch themselves and got enough moderate intensity exercise daily, they would look better, feel better, and not be on chronic meds for diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.

I always say: eat like an American, die like an American!

[jellazticious]

Under the cut is the updated Light Plague lore and also me critiquing humanity in the process

but of course, all deep dives of TLP will have discussions of varying degrees of body horror so be warned. Also it's so fucking long

Place is set somewhere in Europe but the apocalypse got so bad that no one can recognize what it was anymore. Even in near extinction of the human race, these assholes are still trying to segregate each other by groups, some bunkers, some labs, some towns and one is a living mansion on top of a tower wrapped in a garden of corpses surrounded by a wall. So TLP's camera or main focus would be four of the "Scorchers" in a bunker called Palethos. Scorchers are literally people who can be told to do whatever, so scientist, mercenary, assassin, resource gatherer, labrat etc. Human for hire basically and it's seen as a high honour to be one but it isn't. Four of them, Mortimer Tacre, Tak the Oracle, The Plague Kiwi, and Cobalt Roussel are the main focus of the theoretic show. Each of them represents a type of unfortunate person in the real world. Cobalt is the people pleaser who only does it because it's the safest thing to do, not once did he ever had a choice of his own, then PK who has been through tragedy after tragedy that he doesn't believe good exist anymore so why should he now, Tak, one of the smartest people that everybody goes to when they need something from them but would shun them otherwise, and Morter, who has never felt true satisfaction in his life but he came to terms with what was never meant to be so he uses what is left of his time to give the younger ones the happiness he never had.

Their jobs mainly is to play security guard for Palethos and data gatherers for 131, the establishment that protects Palethos. Other than tending to the survivors in Palethos, they should also protect them from the aggressive neighbours and mutations which they all call Dallums. Now here's the main course of TLP. The whole thing with the mutations and their miracle medicine, Chlerocyte.

Chlerocyte is a fungus found within a species of warm blooded cave fish that was discovered at the same time in the arctic. It develops in extreme cold and grows in warmth. The fungus attaches itself to the fish and they have a symbiotic relationship for the fish will provide the needed warmth for the fungus and in return, near immortality. Chlerocyte developed in a way that it will remember the body's average state of health or ideal state and reverts any damage if exposed to sunlight. wounds, lost limbs, impaled organs, brain damage, anything can be cured by it. A dying fish could just so easily swim out the vents and heal instantaneously . However, hubris is a tale as old as time. The fact that it's so easy to harvest without any hard method of applying to humans means that people will get arrogant and reliant on it to the point that even the smallest bruise is a call for Chlerocyte. Overusing and abusing the fungus/drug will warp when it should be active. They are supposed to be activated when there is abnormalities in the body. Compared to the fish that stays in the dark, humans are always exposed to the sun. Let the Chlerocyte wait long enough and it will start to "fix" something because getting activated with the sun is telling itself that the body needs it to do something, anything. And so, Dallums everyone.

Each mutation differs from how the mutated is harmed, their imperfections and sometimes what they touch. One of them was a near sighted man with a lithe frame so the fungus took it as a need to give him eyes all over his body and make his muscles swell. One Dallum was a woman nearly losing her life birthing a dying baby so the mutation gives her a flesh sack full of nutrients in an attempt to keep both her and the child alive, it worked but it's so heavy and the baby mutated with the forming of the sack so now it's part of it as a horrendous lump. Another Dallum, a gargantuan one even, was formed during a stageplay, one of the actors started to mutate and whoever he was touching became part of him and the dragon puppet he was leading with. The Dallum acts like a giant worm that constantly sings, the people it eats will merge halfway but not completely so those people retain their intelligence and memories but they are immobile so all they can do is scream to provide the Dallum's voice. Me designing the Dallums is like, I gotta make them compete with each other, they all have to be equally fucked up or gradually gets more and more fucked up. I mean one of them has his head shoved in a deer's ass and another's skin have so much fish attached to it.

The thing with Chlerocyte is simultaneously "fuck around and find out" and "play stupid games, win stupid prices" but also a jab that such a precious thing can be corrupted so badly but this time, the person who abused it is getting dragged with it.

no yeah, there's nothing anyone can do to revert Chlerocyte because according to it, what it does to the body is already perfect and it's making sure no one tampers with it. AKA you can't kill them and you can't just remove the spores and fungus unless you wanna be the ext Dallum in the files.

Anyway, survivors are at war with the Dallums while also at war with each other. At least most of them but not all. Their common enemy are the rich people living on the sky, watching them all for their entertainment. TV screens and cameras are a common theme in TLP if not the butterflies. Yeah, what you watch is sorta what the rich sky people are also watching except they watch the other bunkers but TLP the theoretical show itself are only focused on Palethos. Anyway, to boost their entertainment, they had this group of bounty hunters from across the entire country thing. They are given targets who are either actual terrible people or unrightfully called a criminal. So they released a bunch of vigilantes in the wild and they compete with each other because capturing their heads will grant them so much money. They're in the middle of an apocalypse and they still have inflation and rent debt, this is just like people still needing to work and go outside even if there was a pandemic.

Anyway, yeah, the Hunters are vicious and some of them are almost magic like Solasso. He can make portals with whips and ropes. No one can see him because if he's not hunting, he's bunking in a pocket dimension praising a sun god that he claims to speak to him but there's speculation that it's just his epilepsy. However, epilepsy could not explain the lasso portals so magic indeed coexists with science in TLP. Where did it come from? Funny story actually

Everyone knows and loves Tastriphe, aka Plague Kiwi. silly goose that man is. Anyway, he was working on a portal that can send resources to the near bunker without having to go up and send a delivery while Dallums chase you. Anyway, he failed at doing just that and instead, he opens up an interdimensional portal that invited a lot of universes over and brought over their beloved Ghost of Palethos, Sal Conspire. He is glitching in and out like he's from Spiderverse, silly goose. Other than Sal, while the portal was spazzing in different entries, some magic creatures, elements, and items slipped through the window and boom, earth has more magic than it already has. Excluding PK and Tak, they're like so magical there's not much explanation for them. All we know is PK is a fallen angel and Tak can see the future and do cool spirit stuff.

Tho, the most important thing to note about TLP in its entirety. It's not a story about the main characters. It's a collection of stories not just from the people of Palethos. Everything runs and flows and ties to each other. All of the characters are meant to be written as if they can be the main characters of their own shows because that's what real life is too, your own show but at the same time, you're part of someone else's. it's a big circle.

TLP should have the genuinity of real life but all of them deals with exaggerated or disguised in a metaphor problems

Oh there's also The Reaper Tree but that's spoiler endgame stuff so I'll leave it here now, tata

HOW TO TREAT WEAK AND THINNING HAIR? - REVOLUTIONARY METHOD FOR HAIR TREATMENT – HAIR THERAPY SHAMPOO 

Did you know that thousands of people, like you and me, suffer from severe hair loss? There are also cases of thinning, dull hair, which became more evident after the age of 40, where the hair becomes thin, dull, lifeless. Sometimes we wear caps, hats and even wigs to disguise our baldness, because we feel ashamed of our hair and even experience humiliating situations in places that do not allow the use of caps and hats, especially in more sophisticated places. Due to such suffering experienced by millions of people, since exposing hair is inevitable, researchers sought the cause of hair problems.   So, after much research, the real cause of female hair loss is NOT the result of 'bad' genetics, aging, menopause... or even childbirth. The real reason you are losing your hair, may be due to a faulty signal inside the hair follicles. Hence the revolutionary 60-second "Rapunzel Ritual" that will help you regain the full, youthful hair you had in your 20s. To facilitate, in view of the purpose that guides this channel, to help the greatest number of people, I will leave in the description of this video and in the comments below, the official website for the purchase of the product HAIR THERAPY SHAMPOO (RITUAL RAPUNZEL). You just need to join this opportunity, to start a new story of overcoming and achievements. YOU ARE CAPABLE, GOD BLESS!!! 

∆ What is HAIR THERAPY?   It is a new shampoo from Clinical Effects designed to stimulate the growth of new follicular stem cells in women over 40 by repairing ruptured hair follicles to minimize the hair loss process.

∆ DOES HAIR THERAPY WORK? Yes, because the product contains in its formula natural ingredients and other revolutionary ingredients - stem cells which are the raw material that produces all other cells in our body - and are associated with youth and vitality.

∆ DOES HAIR THERAPY REALLY WORK? yes, as signaling molecules are released, sending an urgent message to your stem cells to grow more hair, they begin to divide and multiply... and new hair is formed. 

∆ IS HAIR THERAPY GOOD? yes, because we know that we have two hair phases, stage 1 ¨Anagen¨, known as the growth phase, as it is when you are in your 20s and 30s... your hair will be long effortlessly, flowing and silky. However, as you age, an increasing amount of hair leaves the anagen phase and instead moves into stage 2, the ¨Telogenous¨ phase, where the hair stops growing and the root hardens. Therefore, by applying Hair Therapy Shampoo daily, you can enjoy thicker and more voluminous hair using a blend of natural ingredients based on the Rapunzel Ritual. 

∆ HAIR THERAPY INGREDIENTS? Hair Therapy SHAMPOO is made with plant-based ingredients and revolutionary ingredients, among them: AnaGain, a phenomenal ingredient that stimulates the production of FGF7 at the root of the hair, to start growing new healthy hair; Baicapil which is a very special substance extracted from a herb called Chinese skullcap that increases cellular activity at the ROOT level, hair follicles are rejuvenated and energized from the inside out, restoring healthy signaling and giving your hair a more youthful and voluminous appearance; and Biotin which is an essential vitamin to heal brittle and fragile hair. 

∆ Can HAIR THERAPY SHAMPOO be used by vegans? Yes, as Clinical Effects NEVER test their products on animals, their manufacturing process is ethical and environmentally friendly. 

∆ How to use HAIR THERAPY SHAMPOO? The manufacturer recommends using the same Rapunzel's Ritual every morning, 60 seconds in the shower or bath, massaging the roots, which will leave rich organic nutrients in your hair. 

∆ HAIR THERAPY SHAMPOO PRODUCT REVIEWS? Many women claim to have noticed a significant difference in just two weeks after applying Hair Therapy shampoo. Their hair looks thicker and fuller. 

∆ DOES HAIR THERAPY HAVE A GUARANTEE? yes, if you get the product from the official website that I left in the description, it comes with a 180-day money back guarantee, which gives you six months to try it and see if it works.

Why onions are a must-have in your kitchen and garden

The Onion's Potential is Much Greater than Being Merely a Common Ingredient in a Kitchen. There is so much more to this ingredient than simply being a powerhouse of flavor and nutrition. Passionate home cook or gardening enthusiast and interested in sustainability, onions come with a ton of value to the table.

This blog explores why onions should take center stage in your kitchen and garden: red onions above all else.

The Gourmet and Health Benefits of Onions

Onions are part of almost every cuisine around the world. Their flavors are pungent and sharp, or mild and sweet, and everything in between. But beyond contributing flavor, onions are also chock-full of nutrients that benefit health.

High in Antioxidants: Onions are very rich in quercetin, a super antioxidant that reduces inflammation and helps to boost the immune system.

Good for Heart Health: They help reduce bad cholesterol levels and improve blood circulation, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Aids Digestion: Onions are a good source of dietary fiber, which helps to promote a healthy digestive system.

Versatility in Cooking: From sautéing to caramelizing and using raw in salads, onions fit into various dishes without much effort.

With such an impressive nutritional and culinary profile, onions make a very strong case for being a kitchen essential.

Why Grow Onions in Your Garden?

Growing onions is highly rewarding. They are easy to grow, have a very low maintenance cost, and provide a massive yield. Here's why you should grow onions in your garden:

Saves on grocery bills

Eco-Friendly: You will produce your onions and, therefore, reduce the consumption of store-bought produce, which may have carbon footprints in their production processes.

Guaranteed freshness: Your onions produced at home will taste fresher and more savory than the ones in the market.

Variety Options: You can grow different types of onions, including red, white, and yellow, which will be appropriate for your cooking needs.

Low Maintenance: Onions are relatively low in maintenance, resistant to most pests and diseases.

Red Onions: The Jewel of the Kitchen and Market

This variety catches attention for its bright colors, flavors, and use in various recipes. India is one of the world's largest onion-producing countries; thus, it excels in exporting superior quality red onions to both the domestic and international markets.

Red Onion Exporters: Quality You Can Rely On

GlobalB2Bmart is India's top B2B portal that connects buyers to some of the world's most trusted red onion exporters. These suppliers subscribe to quality because every onion sold at their end is full of flavor and taste and is in line with the international standards of quality. Whether it's a salad, curry, or pickle, red onions add a rich presence and nutrition to your meal.

Fresh Red Onion: Straight from the Fields

Buyers through GlobalB2Bmart can acquire fresh red onions directly from trustworthy farmers. These are handpicked on the farm to preserve natural taste and nutrients, ensuring they meet high standards of freshness and quality.

Beyond Fresh: Discover Dehydrated and White Onions

Onions come in more than just their fresh forms:

Dehydrated Onions

Long-lasting and handy, dehydrated onions are perfect for spice blends, instant meals, and seasoning mixes.

These onions are processed under hygienic conditions by suppliers so that they neither lose their flavor nor their nutritional value.

White Onions:

White onions have a sweet, mild flavor. They are most suitable for the most gourmet dishes, salads, and pickles.

GlobalB2Bmart takes buyers to the right supplier who meets international quality requirements.

Growing Onions at Home

Choose Your Variety: Choose red, white, or yellow onions according to your cooking habits.

Optimal Soil Conditions: Onions grow well in well-drained, fertile soil that has a pH slightly acidic to neutral.

When to Plant: Plant onions during early spring when the summer harvest would be ready, or late fall overwintering will be ready in spring.

Optimal Spacing: Ensure sufficient spacing for bulb growth.

Watering and Upkeep: Keep watering constantly, but avoid too much water, as onions do not like soggy soil.

Harvest: When the tops of onions begin to fall over and the leaves start turning yellow, harvest. Dry them out in an airy space for curing, thus lengthening the storage time.

Conclusion

Onions are an essential element of any kitchen and farm. Having unmatched applications in cooking, with their nutritional value and ease of planting, it becomes impossible to do otherwise in daily activities. Be it acquiring fresh red onion from reputable exporting companies like GlobalB2Bmart or cultivating them in the backyard, the bulb in question promises a better mealtime and an animated garden.

 Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a red onion a healthier version?

Red onions have higher levels of antioxidants like quercetin, which are stronger in terms of improving immunity and reducing inflammation.

Can onions be grown in pots?

Yes, onions can be grown in pots if the containers are deep enough to allow bulb development and have good drainage.

How long can fresh onions be stored?

Fresh onions can be stored for 2-3 months in a cool, dry, and ventilated place and must not get moist.

Benefits of dried onions.

Dried onions are light in weight, durable, and ready for use with spice blends, instant foods, and seasoning.

Are white onions suitable for cooking?

White onions are mild, sweet, and just perfect for gourmet dishes, salads, and pickles.

Diabetes and Wound Healing – Why is it Slower?

Have you ever wondered why a simple cut or scrape takes longer to heal if you have diabetes? The reason can be due to many factors and can lead to serious health complications, especially when left unchecked.

But why does the diabetic wound healing process take longer?

In this article, we will explore the connection between diabetes and delayed wound healing, discover the reasons behind it, and share tips to promote recovery.

How does diabetes affect wound healing? 

Diabetes is the result of your body’s inability to produce insulin. Insulin is responsible for metabolizing sugar or glucose and turning it into energy. When your body cannot carry out this process naturally, it causes an increase in blood sugar levels, which affects your body’s natural healing process in the following ways:

Poor blood flow: High blood sugar can damage blood vessels, reducing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the wound. These are essential for healing.

Weakened immune system: Diabetes makes it harder for the body to fight off infections, which can slow healing and make wounds worse.

Nerve damage: Over time, high blood sugar can cause nerve damage (neuropathy), which reduces sensation. This means you might not notice small wounds or injuries until they become serious.

Chronic Inflammation: Diabetes can lead to prolonged inflammation, which affects the wound healing process.

Signs of slow-healing wounds in diabetic patients

Some signs that your wounds are not healing as fast as they should are: 

Persistent pain

Loss of sensation

Swelling

Fever and chills

Bad odor from the wound

Pus 

Factors affecting diabetic wound healing

High blood sugar levels

One major reason diabetic patients do not heal fast is high blood sugar levels. High sugar levels prevent the immune system from functioning properly and inflame the cells, thereby slowing down the healing process. High sugar levels also increase the thickness of the blood, making it even harder for blood to circulate properly. Diabetic patients soon develop peripheral vascular disease, which manifests in the blood vessels becoming narrow, further reducing blood flow to the limbs and slowing the diabetic wound healing process.

Peripheral neuropathy

A high blood sugar level causes cells around the wound to be inflamed, which eventually become damaged, and you lose sensation even when you sustain an injury. This condition is known as peripheral neuropathy, and it is common in the hands and feet. Without pain sensitivity, you could sustain an injury and not notice it. An unchecked wound is a breeding ground for infection-causing bacteria.

Weak immune system

Your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Without proper blood circulation, the injury will not have access to the sufficient white blood cells needed to cover up the wound. There will be no cell regeneration or even an import of white blood cells to help fight off infections, thereby slowing down the diabetic wound healing process.

Infection

With all other factors at play, you can only expect the wounds to grow larger because of infections. If your immune system is not functioning as it should, your body cannot fight off bacterial infections. Bacteria also thrive on sugar, which increases their growth rate. When wounds continue to spread, it can lead to complications like gangrene or sepsis.

Common complications of diabetic wounds

Poor wound healing can lead to significant complications that affect the physical and mental health of the patient. Here are some of the most common complications:

Amputation

One of the most common complications of diabetic wounds is amputation. Studies show that 25-90% of all amputations within specific groups are attributed to diabetes. When wounds don’t heal, they progress to become gangrene, a major cause of amputation.

Sepsis

People with uncontrolled infections develop sepsis, which spreads into the bloodstream and becomes a life-threatening issue. The infection can also cause osteomyelitis, an inflammation of the bone that manifests in pain, swelling, and flu-like symptoms. This condition can also be linked to deformed feet, where the bones begin to break or dislocate in response to simple movements like walking.

Skin Infections

Diabetic patients also suffer ulcers, mainly on the foot, which result in swelling around the wound, foul-smelling abscess, fever, and chills. As the infection spreads, the chances of amputation increase.

Treatment options for diabetic wounds

Regardless of how bad the situation sounds, there are ways to treat diabetic wounds:

Oxygen therapy

There are two types of oxygen therapy: hyperbaric and topical therapy. With hyperbaric therapy, you inhale 100% oxygen to improve your blood supply and oxygenate the wound. Topical therapy involves applying oxygen directly to the wound.

Skin grafts

This is a simple surgery that involves removing the dead cells and tissue around the wound and replacing it with skin from another part of the body or from a donor to reconstruct the damaged tissues.

Dressings

Dressing diabetic wounds involves different kinds of materials, like seaweed or alginate dressings, which can absorb up to 20 times their weight in fluid. The physician can also use a vacuum to carry out negative-pressure therapy to draw out fluid further and reduce the need for dressings. 

Tips for managing diabetic wounds

To speed up diabetic wound healing, you can employ these tips:

Find cuts, scrapes, and bruises and treat them immediately. Make sure to disinfect them by rinsing them with warm water, applying pressure to stop the bleeding, applying antibiotic cream, and covering them with a bandage. 

Make sure to keep an eye out for new wounds. Wearing white socks helps you spot red spots from new bleeding wounds or old ones that aren’t healing.

Eat food that has less sugar content to control your blood sugar levels. Make sure to consult a dietician to draw up a meal plan that can cater to your unique bodily needs.

When there are signs of an infection, seek out medical help, especially when it is early. The sooner you deal with an infection, the less likely your chances are to get amputated.

Preventing wounds in diabetics

Preventing wounds as a diabetic patient is better than trying to treat them. You can prevent wounds by:

Wear protective footwear when exercising or outdoors and clothing that keeps you from sustaining new injuries.

If you have a smoking habit, it is best to discontinue it immediately. Smoking reduces the oxygen supply to already existing foot ulcers and prevents them from healing.

Schedule regular check-ups with a medical professional to detect abnormalities in your body.

Maintain proper hygiene to reduce your risk of having a skin infection that can lead to a more serious problem.

Annual Letter 2024

Dear Carly,

Hello. Iʻm not really sure what to write right now. Youʻve been without real structure for about 3 months and you can feel yourself losing momentum. 4th year is just like that. But donʻt worry lol.. you will be back in structure a lot sooner than youʻd like. Honestly though, thats good. You need things to do, you strive with things to do. And when you have nothing to do, you fall into laziness. You could be lazy for the rest of your life, or you could do something. You already know the answer to that though. This year was stressful and fun and rocky and amazing. Also right now you think youʻre balding so hopefully that ends soon. That would definitely be something. Anyways, you made it through so much this year. You know that trend where itʻs like "you think you didnʻt do anything this year but..." you have a big BUT haha. You did the hardest thing, and then did it AGAIN. You kept your damn composure the entire time and figured out everything by yourself. You traveled and worked hard and relaxed hard too. I think youʻve grown a lot more than you think. I feel like you always feel like youʻre the same but donʻt realize how much youʻve changed and adapted to the changes around you. Also your dogs cause you a lot of anxiety lol but you really wouldnʻt change a thing. I think you get frustrated that you feel like you canʻt rely on people like they can rely on you but I really donʻt have a solution to that right now. I think this next year you should work even more on letting go and seeing what happens. Do you have ADHD because youʻre jumping all over the place. Anyways, take care of yourself a little more would you. I feel like this year had so many personal things going on and relied heavily on yourself and literally one other person that you kind of shut out a lot of people in the process, including family and friends. I know youʻre stressed still about what things could happen next year but at this point you can only continue to do your best. "Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional" –what may seem like a lame quote but one that got you through pretty tough times this year. ALSO I am very proud of you for going on your friendʻs trip this year to celebrate an important wedding. You could have easily bowed out but I think that was an experience you are glad you were a part of. I feel like you should think of things that way more often. A lot of times youʻre really just tired and want to relax with your boys and decompress BUT I think you should try not to do that a little more next year. You really could be missing out on things that you would enjoy. You could also not be missing out hahaha but youʻll never know unless you actually go out there and do it. Also go work out and do some nature things or something. Maybe something off your to do list. And sidenote, you traveled a lot this year and it made you realize you canʻt not travel. And so I hope that you can continue do those things that make you feel content now and in the future. As to how youʻre feeling now, kind of suspended and a little messy and slightly out of control.... make a to-do list, CLEAN, walk around, drink water, apply chapstick, and get your nutrients in ok. Weʻll see how this next year goes. But, I believe in you. I believe in you so much. Take what you now know, and make some good or bad decisions (: I trust you either way. Have fun. I love you.

♥ Carly
