Friendly reminder – especially to young girls – that influencers who say shit like

"drink this smoothie/juice to lose belly fat"

"this is the ONLY exercise you need to tone your entire body"

"don't do these exercises, do THESE instead"

"do this exercise to lose fat off this specific body part"

"all you need to lose weight is a calorie deficit"

are ALL bullshitting you for views and likes! And you will often catch them in contradiction, but since they look toned and fit and healthy you may think you're the one who's confused, but no, they're lying. I am here to help set the record straight:

No type of food is going to make you lose fat. Some foods get the fame of being fat-burners for being thermogenic (meaning they raise your body temperature temporarily), but it's not enough to make you lose fat if you don't adjust everything else.

No one exercise affects the entire body and if you only do one type of exercise your body will get used to it and its effects won't be as beneficial. Also, if you only do one exercise you will get bored and it will get in the way of your consistency.

You need to do the exercises that make you feel good and fulfilled and that keep you consistently coming back for more. If you like planks over crunches, then you should plank. If you like dancing over running, then you should dance. All exercises, if done in proper form and within your capabilities, are beneficial and correct.

There is no way to target fat loss. This is a very dangerous and widespread myth. It has been shown over and over in studies and trials that fat is lost proportionately all over the body and that it depends heavily on genetic factors whether you will lose more here or there. You can target muscle gain, but not fat loss.

There is so much more to fat loss (which is different from weight loss, since weight is not determined only by fat) than only a calorie deficit. Yes, consuming less calories than you burn is the way to go, but it's not as simple as that: you can do that and still not lose any significant weight! There's genetics, there's nutrition, there's other health factors, there's muscle mass, there's water weight, there's hormones, there's stress levels, there's so much more nuance to consider in the human body than just calories. If it were as "simple" as a calorie deficit, do you think so many people would struggle with their weight?

Health and nutrition and fitness are complex subjects that deserve more of your attention and research than watching clickbait videos on Tiktok from people that are just trying to capture your views, often using underhanded tactics. I say that with love: social media builds trust only for it to be betrayed by algorithmic monetization.

Question what you see and read (including my posts!) and look into things that go against your common sense! It's a tough world to navigate, be safe 💫

I hope you find light in unexpected places, guiding you when the world feels heavy and your path seems uncertain.

Not every day has to bring great progress, achievements, healing or change. Some days are meant for you to rest, to take a break from all the hard work you have been doing, to be extra gentle with yourself. Some days are simply meant to honour your existence. These days are just as important, my love. They provide you with the opportunity to process all of the transformation you have been through and prepare you for everything that is yet to come. Just like the ocean you will experience strong, crashing waves one day and peaceful stillness another day - it is all about balance.

Estrogen

Nowadays we think estrogen is only from transitioning treatment, But what is it really and what is it for.

What we think: Estrogen is for and transitioning woman to create woman like features.

Not only is this for that BUT its for biologically born women too. See, what estrogen is actually for to regulate women’s systems. Not everyone is born the same way so some women are very fertile some are not. I’ve figured this out with some quick research.

Main reason for estrogen use in women:

-Voice

-Fertility

-Acne

-heart, blood vessels, bones, breasts, skin, hair, mucous membranes, pelvic muscles, and the brain. It also helps control cholesterol and protects bone health.

Caution ⚠️

High estrogen can lead to a heart attack

Here are symptoms

Low estrogen ⚠️

-weak bones and menopause

Do any of you systems ever dissociate, but in a good way?

Not a groggy, hazy, or numb sort of dissociation, but a comfortably disconnected one. Sensations, smells, tastes - they're all still there, I can feel them, but they're soft and dream-like. It's more like walking through an open world video game. No quests, no fighting, just walking and observing, admiring the little details the devs lovingly put into their craft.

I'm more connected with the inside. I'm not talking to any of my headmates in particular, but I can feel the shape of our system as a whole. We're certainly polyfragmented, there's no doubt about that, no matter what Ken thinks.

I know who I am, in this moment, but the 'I' we'll be later won't remember. But that's okay. Because I'm here now, and this moment is beautiful, and there will be other beautiful moments for our other parts. And I got to write this, thereby immortalizing it in some small way.

Does anyone else ever dissociate in this way? Maybe non-systems, maybe even some neurotypical people? I know it can't be universal, but I hope it's more common than I'd think. It's a lovely feeling, to be here and not here and just feel calm.

Duke, GMing a game for the other bats would be fucking fantastic, because he knows what makes a bat tick

Duke, who prepared a lasagna of paranoia, just layers and layers and layers of suspense to get everyone's hackles up and even the big bat jumping at shadows. there are puzzles, riddles, and twists littered all over the game world

Steph is the only one who manages to keep grounded enough to actually solve the mystery and she Does rub it in Tim's face for all eternity

De-vice your device: tips to decrease screen time 📱🔒

Build the habit of turning off your phone from time to time. We're so used to just charging and charging our phones but never turning it off, but any electronic device needs to be turned off from time to time. Start by turning it off when you go to sleep, whether it's a nap or night time, and then move on to just turning it off after you're done using it.

Review often what you're using your phone for. Are you using too many apps that just result in you mindlessly staring at the screen, stuck in scrolling? Are you following every single news story or tabloid gossip that pops up? Is the content you're engaging with really entertaining, really enriching, really necessary? Be more critical of what you're doing with your phone in the first place.

Turn your notifications off. Unless you have an ongoing responsibility that requires you to be reachable 24/7, no matter where you are or what you're doing, otherwise someone's life may be at peril, then there's no reason for you to be available at all times, and definitely not immediately. It's important to be humble and admit that you're simply not needed that urgently! When you're truly available, check your apps and then you'll know whether there's something new or not.

Replace as many phone functionalities as you can. If your phone is your camera, your alarm clock, your agenda, your books, your music, your wallet, your social life, then of course you're going to be stuck to it all day long. Take your needs off from your phone as much as possible, separate your life from it. I promise you, most things that entertain, inform and aid in daily life have their own specific device/gadget. (And they're often cheap to get, since so many people have replaced them with phones!)

Go out without your phone as often as you can. Like I said, unless you're absolutely needed for life-or-death situations, there's no need for you to be on your phone at all times. That means that when you're outside, doing something important or just taking a walk, there's no need for you to be glued to a screen. Whatever is there, it can wait until you're home.

Embrace boredom. It's fine, and even suggested often that it's necessary, to be bored once in a while. You don't need to be "doing something", absorbing information, at all times. You don't need to watch a video while you eat, or listen to a podcast while you do chores, or talk to friends while you're in the shower. You can just do a mundane task and let it be that, and you can feel like there's nothing to do and then do nothing. That's not a bad thing.

Keep your phone physically away when you can, especially away from bed. Having your phone within arm's reach at all times contributes to the act of constantly picking it up, which becomes automatic after a very short while. If your phone is not available at all times, you'll break the automatic response cycle of reaching for it (the same goes for turning it off). And it's especially important to not be on your phone in bed, so that you don't keep the habit of being glued to the screen until the last possible moment, or ruining your sleep cycle because of it.

Allow your life to have waits and doubts. If you're trying to remember something, it's okay to not remember it, you don't have to look it up immediately. If you want to talk to someone, you don't have to text them immediately. Basically, you don't have to interrupt most things by reaching for your phone just to try and get an immediate response, answer, reaction. Let things hang in the air, or leave them for later.

Consider just deleting yourself. I say this especially to the younger people who have never experienced life without phones and especially without social media. Consider the action of just deleting some, if not all, social media accounts and subscriptions you have, at least for a determined amount of time. I, and a lot of tech specialists and psychologists, suggest the period of at least six months to do a real tech detox. You simply can't understand what life is like without social media and the current state of being online unless you actually experience it. It may seem radical, and to be fair, it is, but isn't it also radical for a young person to be addicted to their phone?
