I love beans.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 3:01 pm I'm a skinny prick but I have a bit of a belly from drinking beer. Not willing to give up beer but thought I might try giving up rice, which I've been eating twice a day for ages. But I need something filling to replace it with, otherwise I get terrible headaches/early hangover effects from just a few beers. Google suggests quinoa (I wouldn't know quinoa if I fell over it) but cauliflower also came up so I'm going to try that. I don't want to lose weight, just the pudgy belly. I'm not giving up beer.
Open to suggestions.
Beans - butter beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, chickpeas, lentils etc. Full of calories, but full of protein and good for you. If you replace white rice with beans for a couple of meals then you'll be full but it's better for you.
Attention - this is a suggestion for skinny Timmy, not for people who want to lose weight. However, if you replace beans with meat (in a vegetarian curry or chilli dish) then it's all good I reckon. I really like them in salads too.

Always "hope" but never "expect".
Re: Weight Loss
I followed the keto diet for a little while to cut off some excess fat especially important to cut out complex carbs like rice and potatos for awhile. Cut beer and switched to vodka bc it has 0 carbs. after a week i lost 5 lbs us now around 66kg.
Speaking of weight loss, when i moved from NYC to Thailand my weight went from about 165 us lbs to around 140 and for a moment i thought the scale i was using in Thailand was broken. I have no idea what caused the shocking weight loss. Then when i switched to Cambodia i gained some of the 25 lbs back, now im around 145. As a male that puts my body fat percentage at 7 to 10%. Normally i do at least 10 miles cycling every day with some 20 plus.

Re: Weight Loss
7% is basically bodybuilding show ready... But if you cycle 15km/day could be possible. You'd still have abs popping out at 7-10% (not jist slightly protruding). 145lbs is very light, so I'm guessing you're 5'6"-5'9" max?

Console yourself with the uplifting thought that you're actually enjoying French cuisine !

Doesn't it seems rather affordable now ?

Muscle doesn't turn into fat. It's like saying my steak just turned into butter. Muscle atrophies without usage and with age. Use them or lose them.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 5:05 pmMoobs = man boobsCambo Dear wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 12:45 pm Uhm, aren't bitch tits just a by-product of being fat? I know virtual teetotalers with chesticles, caused in the main by chocolate. For sure beer can give you a belly but to say it makes you less of a man is borderline blasphemy!
I think a significant group of men are severely deficient in testosterone once they begin to approach the end of their youth; 35-45 is the time when a lot of males grow titties, paunch out in the belly, lose sex drive, their muscles turn to fat, they get depressed and by turn cranky. And some other men for one reason or another NEVER make enough test to begin with and all the above happens to them sooner.
Men, in my own non-expert opinion, should check their test levels once every year or two after they hit late thirties and if found to be low some people can improve it through dietary and exercise improvements and others will require test supplements

I've heard drinking beer helps you loose weight

Re: Weight Loss
I put on a few kg when Oscar's was closed and I couldn't go dancing every night.
Between getting back to dancing and having Covid, I am back down to 75
Apparently my goal weight is 68, but I'll be happy if I don't lose anymore.
I think this year I need to get into some muscle toning to tighten up some of the floppy bits.

Re: Weight Loss
As usual, I'll certainly lose some weight over the holidays. No feasting, 16+ hour days, shitloads of work. But the weekend after NYE will be an eat and drink as much as I can affair.
