Tea has countless health benefits depending on the type or blend. I just drink it because it tastes good and is miles healthier than coffee provided you aren't drinking Lipton's or Bigelow. Black teas are more or less equal to coffee. Green, white, rooibos, and herbal teas can do wonders. You just don't get the caffeine, though that isn't an issue provided you aren't trying to drink it for that.

No, you are. Placebos can be used to trick the retards into thinking they are being treated, and you can send them to "rehab" or therapy, but in the end a psychological condition is just a nocebo. It doesn't exist outside of their head, and any detrimental effects brought on therefrom are literally just your own doing.

A physical condition is something that is real, and not just some manufactured fantasy. It can be treated in reality, and not through some psychological trickery.

The only real treatment for psychological dependency would be if it is a symptom of an underlying condition such as depression, stress, etc. You're eating shitty food because it makes you feel better. To fix this you're of course going to be treating the depression itself and not the dependency.

[Anonymous No.9584052]

>>9584033
Not in the slightest. Therapy can have a tremendous effect on certain conditions. If someone is emotionally afflicted, or simply has trouble making heads or tails of their life, therapy can be useful.

For things like depression, derealization, and true addiction (read as physical), there is literally no way simply talking through things would be any help at all.

Imbalances in the brain can not simply be treated with words. Mind over matter is not as powerful as your high school motivational speakers like to say.

definitely think that the major part of the consumer base is recovering alcoholics and people trying to quit drinking soda pop, and that the sudden social fluff around it is just some hipsters being loud on Insta n shit. regardless, hope everyone is doing well and having fun, i just wish it was less of a "thing" (or "meme" or whatever), because it's just fucking fizzy water, for fuck's sake

If i see you eating this it immediately tells me that youre a greedy, soulless WASP cunt who frivolously spends their wealth on meaningless status symbols.

Ive had sturgeon caviar and there reallg just isnt much of a difference between it and any other kind of fish roe. People just like it because its rare and expensive. And the only reason why its rare and expensive is because these dandy faggots are hunting the poor fish to extinction. Some scientists say itll be gone within the next decade.

Really, my only trigger is fat people eating fast food in front of me after they've bitched about their weight. I'm certainly never going to have a problem with someone choosing a zero calorie beverage. So they like a seltzer. How is that any different than liking tea or coffee? Do you live somewhere where someone spending a buck on flavored water is somehow the height of vanity?

Fat people eat foods that make them feel terrible.

A carbonated beverage actually helps settle the stomach. This was how things like 7-up were originally marketed.

So yeah, a little seltzer instead of 120 calorie can of Coke is a great thing for a world facing an obesity epidemic. Stop hating on shit that is actually shifting the public towards smarter dietary choices.

Nigga, I make 4 gallons at a time and keep it in a jug with a dispenser in my refrigerator. It takes me 20 minutes on Sunday to make tea for the entire week. Who are these idiots that think tea is some sort of an event? It's 100% casual and I've never seen anyone bragging about being a tea drinker. Then again, I'm from the south.

Hot tea is still easier than coffee. Just run your keurig with no k-cup for a cup of 165f water, drop the teabag in, and it will steep itself while you carry the cup to your car or office.

Studies have proven that artificial sweeteners induce the same biological effect of hoarding energy that sugar does. Basically, sweet&low tricks the body into thinking its getting sugar, so the body initiates the process of storing it. It converts more energy into fat than it normally would, completely negating any benefit of the food having 0 calories. Google it. I think Truvia is the only one that doesn't cause that effect.

And you can't see how a calorie free, sweetener free beverage can enhance your journey?

I'll give you some advice, because I've been wwhere... ok, not anywhere near where you are. I maxed out at about 275 at 6 foot. I do however have a good friend who made the journey with me who is 6'3" and got over 400.

What we learned was going as extreme as possible simply caused us to break our diets. We started to succeed when we learned to cook a variety of healthy foods, and found substitutes for the things we loved, like soda. This was the late 2000's and the biggest help other than becoming absolute gym rats, was Crystal Light. Something that provides 0 calorie flavor in between meals while filling the gaping chasm that is your overstretched stomach does wonders for willpower.

(Ephedrine was a great help too)

If you were someone capable of self control, you wouldn't be pushing 400. Don't set yourself up for failure. We yo-yo'd for over a year before we figured it out.

What? Dude I was saying that I have made the switch, I haven't regularly drank soda since o got fired from my last job in the beginning of July, since then I also gave up sparkling flavored water that was artificially sweetened because I was still gaining weight so I switched to water and honestly love it, other shit was leaving a film in my mouth but I have acquired the taste of just water
The problem with being a keto newbie is trying to figure out what to make yourself, or at least that's what I'm struggling with right now
For the last two days I haven't eaten anything until dinner and its low in carbs and calories but decent in fat, and I haven't felt hungry until I'm about to eat that meal, so it would seem I'm in the middle of the ketoflu or I'm in ketostasis but my stomach doesn't growl like it used to, I'm not hungry like before, and I generally feel better

[Anonymous No.9586741]

>>9586685
I have 0 experience with Keto. It wasn't part of the scene when I started and simply don't need it now. I'm just saying, 0 calorie beverages are a godsend, and not everyone is going to be happy with water all of the time. I too drink water most of the time, but with a meal, I like a fizzy beverage. It cleanses the palate, and makes the whole experience more enjoyable.

I applaud your efforts and I wish you well on the journey, but as you have pointed out, you're just starting. At some point, you will have cravings. this is completely normal. When that need for something sweet finally hits, having something like Mio or Crystal Light around will help you satisfy it without backsliding. The beginning is always so easy. Your body starts to feel good for the first time in years. You start to notice changes. The number on the scale gets dramatically lower week after week. The struggles come when you start to hit the natural plateaus. If you haven't prepared for how to deal with those discouraging weigh-ins and cravings, it is very easy to fall back into old habits. Set yourself up for success. Have emergency supplies for when you're feeling your lowest.

I appreciate it anon, but the thing about sweets for me isn't the drinks, well kind of because i'll drink a Starbucks can every once in a while, but it's actual sweets, there are some dank cream cheese recipes that don't require sugar from what I've heard, but I need to focus the 'tism on this area going forward, I go to a gym and I think shocking my body with intake and then fasting while exercising is going to break the monotony and plateauing, or at least I'm hoping so and if not I'll probably start incorporating external ketones like in Omega-3s and other supplements, I've been fat in my early life and now in my family life and I'm sick of it, I'm also sick of feeling like shit

[Anonymous No.9586830]

>>9586783
I feel you. My bud and I both had to move out of our parents' places and into an apartment so we could control what food we had easy access to. And this was before Keto. We followed the lifting no carb, low fat, massive protein diet, and for a long time, most meals consisted of Chicken with salsa as a condiment, a ton of frozen vegetables, and if we were about to head to the gym, a small portion of carbohydrates. We tended to slip the most at family functions. It was impossible to not have a slice of cake, or whatever calorie bomb was set in front of you.

Keep in mind, that most dietary advice you get, is going to be a gimmick. Things like Keto, Intermittent Fasting, and even supplements have dubious clinical trials to back them up at best. The old adage of consuming less than you burn is the ONLY advice backed by hard science. You will of course burn more with increased muscle mass. So get some resistance training in, and do some cardio.

See you in /fit/, I guess.
