I’ll be interested to see the long term effects, but we already know all the heartache obesity leads to. Best intervention is for people not to ruin their metabolism in the first place, it’s hard to stick to lifestyle change if you feel like you’re starving all the time, even if you tell yourself its psychosomatic. Hopefully we can promote this as part of the toolkit to promote lifestyle change, not the solution itself. At the moment I understand if people go off the drug they put the weight back on (same issue with BP intervention, right?)
Sounds like the study wasn’t just statistics but also looked at the pathophysiology. My tiny local Reddit keto group is pulling it apart already, and the bigger communities seem unconcerned, but I should get off my virtual butt and read it myself (or finally give up energy drinks, which I should do anyway!)
So today I’m going to hit the midpoint of current WIP. I’ve missed sex-at-60, which is a problem because I outlined around romance beats, and my immortal town planner hasn’t shown any of his superpowers (town-planning?) Today I fix!
Think I’m going to make Friday’s and Saturday’s my main personal project time, which at the moment is #writing
Aww, I think that’s my first zap. I’ll have to see if I can get the article thru one of my institutions. The mechanism perhaps more interesting than the association.
No photos from the meetup, but here’s one from the car ride. Happy Sunday, #dogsofnostr - the boys aren’t mad keen on their new booster seat
Fabio the chihuahua not excited to be going to the Pomeranian meet up
This week I have 5-star health rated sour peach flavored hearts!
(I keep forgetting to post the image link into the main Damus post)
I need to find a new energy drink that’s more #keto friendly. I though the new V varieties were ok because the sweetener was listed as erythritol, but I needed to keep reading! Look at that sneaky sucralose!
Or maybe I just need to go back to only drinking water, gin, and coffee - instead of chemical slurries.
#keto lunch ‘pizza’, the wraps are 1.2g carbs each! The pizza ‘sauce’ is 2:1 kewpie mayo and the least carby tomato paste I can find. Cheese, spring onions, fresh chives, black olives and pepperoni! Yum
#wip #writing weekly update. Just did a tiny 500 words on the current manuscript, which I’d allowed for by over-writing 2 weeks ago. Had fun trying a new POV.
Randomly made a few breakthroughs plotting the next book even tho wasn’t meant to be working on it, fixing both the fact my major plot driver was a lady in a fridge, and how the main character copes with mould in his flood prone house. It’s getting very Reanimator inspired, I ain’t mad about that. The dead lady gets to be the POV for the second half of the book.
Gonna call the next book ‘Damp’ which is not coming up as already used on Goodreads/Amazon but seems unlikely, probably just a hard one to do SEO for?
Critique group tonight and it’s my fortnight for feedback, which I’m not feeling great about because I submitted a bit of mess. But they’ll help me fix it! One of the other writers came up with a brilliant framing device for her WIP, so looking forward to telling her how much I love it.
Best thing about having a writing group is a feeling I’m working on five books, not just one. 💜
My masters subject started a week earlier than I expected, as it’s hosted by a different university and I didn’t know they started sooner, so scrambling to catch up. Gotta go back and do a basic #probability subject because of my haphazard approach to post-grad, so at least not too much of a mental load.
#pomeranian meetup in a few hours. 30 fluffy dogs with attitude in a tiny paddock. I’ll try get pics!
Much sass 💜
Omg, my tiny pom is a menace to brush. How do you manage all that?
Possibly overkill on the sizing there, old girl 
Probably a different country, we do have some remuneration options here, but man I’m conflicted over telehealth. I like it increases access, but personally I hate doing my job over the phone, rarely feels like clear two-way communication has occurred
My genetics are pure peasant, but I strongly feel like I was meant to be born a lady of leisure. I’m banning future me from accepting extra shifts for the rest of the year, I don’t care how much she likes money.
Good morning, #dogsofnostr
