Oat milk doesn’t really work for me. Glad if it does for you ;-) I guess I will drink black coffee now. I received an AeroPress last week and while I always used good beans I ordered a selecton of premium beans from the webshop that I ordered the aeropress from.

Yes, 80 kcal are not much, but many small amounts sum up quickly in my experience, and 80kcal in liquid calories are much less satisfying than more solid stuff on my plate.

Yeah, non-dairy milk alternatives I did try. In away they are good as they don’t trigger the reaction I get with milk. But on the other hand since they don’t do that I can just as well drink my coffee black I think (and save these 80kcal altogether)

If it were useless we would see at least some populations in the world to have lost it altogether.

its not my plan, but it wouldnt be a problem for my health (i.e. I did it before)

I imagine it to be like 2 bottles of water and 3 bottles of oil or something (with bottles of 1 liter), or a 1 gallon jug.

I remember reading about a German TV host who lost weight and every week would fill up the total weight lost as water in two buckets and walk around the house with them just to get a feeling for the weight.

obese actually

I am 38 and have so far had no cavity. Turns out adults have a very easy handle on dental hygiene, brushing your teeth, flossing and avoiding candy and sweet drinks

Use rated games to be matched with real players. After a few games that you will lose you will be matched with players against which you have roughly a 50:50 chance of winning / losing. Don’t focus on the ELO rating specifically at the start. Playing against humans is definitely different from the computer. In the lower ELO ranges you will see a lot of moves that don’t make sense and that the chess engine would never play. On the other hand opponents can be quite good at reading your strategy (as opposed to a dumbed-down engine).

Use the Analyse game function after the game to get an idea of the mistakes you made.

I would start with 10 minute games so that you can play a few games in a row (gives you more practice) but still have time to think.

It kind of seems they stole a decade off of Lasker.

Did they control for the fact that being overweight can be a cause to switch from sugar to sweeteners?

I would ask your medical specialist whether Swimming is okay to do with your medical history. While travelling you can purchase tickets to public swimming pools (granted, depends a bit on where in the world you are travelling).

Anyway, I would not take advice from strangers on the internet without a 1:1 consultation with a medical doctor on what is okay to do and what not.

Best of luck on your journey. Its good that you don’t have to do it entirely alone but have support by your Doctor and of course this community!

Phages were studied intensively in the Soviet Union and it’s block states during the Cold War and I remember seeing documentaries on German Tv with patients tracking to tiblisi, Georgia, to receive phage therapy

Wonder on the impact for glas recycling.

Peeing while standing I do only at urinals. At home I sit. Of course I would also pee while standing, but the additional cleaning need is just not worth it.
