Water? Like in the toilet?
Does it have any electrolytes?
No it’s got what plants crave
Do I look like a vegetable?
Yes, a couch potato
Like, the thing where fish poop and fuck? Wtf.
Here’s a couple free ones:
Quit drinking alcohol
When I quit drinking I lost about 50 pounds in 6 months with no other diet changes.
Basically stop drinking your calories.
Another one:
Only buy foods you have to prepare, no snacks.
That way you can prevent yourself from idly eating when bored.
It’s also best to question yourself if you’re really hungry or do you just want to eat. Some of us have used food as a mechanism to cope with trauma or our problems and not just because we needed nutrition.
Some people also eat from boredom or habit; sit in front to the TV, get a snack. Turn on the Xbox, get a snack.
It’s me, I’m people. And I’m not even out of shape, just bad habits.
I’m real close to trading in my gaming chair for a recumbent bike. I’ve done it before, but sold it in a move. I don’t even sweat; I just keep moving. Works well.
I’ve had a lot of success in keeping water nearby at all times and the only easily accessible foods being vegetables or fruits. If I really want to eat something while I watch a movie or something I can easily eat an apple instead of chips or candy and if I’m feeling a bit peckish the water will either delay that or sometimes stop it entirely.
It’s honestly really hard and I’m glad you’ve found success in your own methods. I think the recumbent bike is a cool idea and honestly it makes me want to do the same. I would love to have one rigged up to an alternator and a battery, even knowing it would be minuscule I think powering a fan now and then off my energy would be really cool.
Ideally, I’d be able to hook up whatever to it and use it as like…supplemental power, but honestly, I’m about as little work as possible. I’m working on my exercise bike rn, I run, I have a water rower and am planning on buying a nicer one soon cause my Amazon Special one is lacking now after using a nice one. But the recumbent bike in front of a TV is just unbeatable. I can play Xbox and just mindlessly pedal on it, and unlike the exercise bike, I don’t feel it in my taint (sorry for the imagery) for 2 days afterwards. Lol
I also try the water stuff, just doesn’t help. I have a camelback on my chair I fill with water I drink out of lmao
I’m nearly 2m tall so I get it when you talk about the seat being uncomfortable, I feel like they’re one step from a suppository.
Same I think? Idk when metric users round up, but I’m ~1.85m. I just don’t fit comfortably lol.
Sounds like a breeze 🌬️💨

The only feeling I feel in life are sleep tired and hunger. Let me at least enjoy it :(
Lol sorry
I don’t mean to shame but to speak from my own experience in eating my feelings instead of eating for nutrients.
Your second recommendation won’t work for everyone. For me, when I don’t have the time or energy to cook I am more likely to order unhealthy food or get take out. It helped me a lot to have easy fast healthy options at home. Frozen veggies can be thrown in the oven and then dusted with a really good spice mix. Sandwich with good whole grain bread and lean meats. Once I learned to expect at least 2 “I give up” nights a week, I was able to finally lose a few pounds.
I struggled with this for awhile my solution was literally to go hungry I might skip one or two meals but eventually the hunger pains will beat away the laziness and make it a higher priority. Once I felt the pain enough I got a positive hit from cooking I didn’t get before.
You don’t need to cook every day, just cook a large meal once at weekends and freeze it. I always cook about 8 to 12 servings, so I can skip cooking about every other weekend. I’m lazy, so I mostly make stews, soups, lasagnas or sauces for which i just need to add a fresh portion of rice or pasta I boil the day before. These meals take 2 hours to make (max) and I’m prepared for at least a week. The excess servings of each week add up fast, so I already had some variety after a few weeks. I eat those for lunch when I’m at work and started to make whatever-salads in the evening about a week ago (vinegar-oil dressing, whatever spices/herbs, whatever veggies, whatever proteins). Best decision I made, I’m eating far less crap, less meat and the urge to order food is getting rarer. Hoping I’m gonna lose some of my fat ass in the long run, too :)
This is the way! Make extra food and freeze it. Some things do better than others but it’s worth exploring this option
When I was trying to lost weight I was also broke as hell, so for me ordering unhealthy food or eating take out wasn’t really an option.
Frozen veggies are a great option, and fall under the purview of stuff needing cooked.
Assuming you are in good health other than wanting to lose weight the best thing you can do is buy a food scale and portion out your food and eat 1500 calories a day and no more. Eat what you want when you want just no more than 1500 and you will lose weight like crazy. That’s how I did it and I lost a full person’s worth of weight, like a full 50% of my body weight.
This is basically the only thing that’s been successful for me. I track my calorie intake with an app and shoot for net 1500 (with exercise).
Eating back exercise calories is not recommended.
Look. I really hate to be harsh here, but this is terrible advice.
Yes you’ll lose weight because eating only 1500 calories a day is definitional malnutrition. Any “diet” which claims that is healthy is very literally encouraging people to develop eating disorders. You absurdly absolutely can’t do it by “eating anything you want.”
Unless you are doing this under strict super vision from a dietician and your doctor, for a specific medical reason, it is extremely dangerous and more likely to cause other problems with your overall health in the long run. You will almost certainly not get the nutrie ta your body needs to function correctly if you are not carefully monitoring what you are eating with professional help. You’re also significantly more likely to end up with an eating disorder. These diets are extremely harmful, I hate seeing them literally everywhere.
You may have seen results in losing weight in such a “diet” because you were very literally starving your body of the calories it needs to function. That just isn’t a healthy way to lose weight.
If your doctor is telling you that you are in good health and the only reason you want to lose weight is cosmetic, don’t do it. Unless it is directly impacting your health and your doctor is recommending it and supervising it, forcing yourself to eat significantly less than what you need to function is not safe.
I did what my doctor told me to do. So idk wtf you are talking about but ok I guess you know more than my doctor does. I’ll make sure to let them know I’m canceling my next appointment and I’ll be going to you from now on. So im gonna need your office hours and a good address and phone number I can reach you at. Please hit me up with all those details asap.
Literally in my post I said “to do this safely you need to work with your doctor”
This was less directed and you, and more at the large number of people who will read a post like yours and go “I can totally do that!” and just cold turkey start eating only 1500 calories a day, without any consultation with doctors or nutritionists.
Thats extremely common. Literally googling “1500 calorie diet” comes up with pages of unsafe recommendation, most of which do not begin with “consult with your doctor and don’t take advice from strangers on the internet about your diet.”
Only buy foods you have to prepare, no snacks
That doesn’t count for fruits and stuff like carrots
Is there a hydrohomies community here?
There is one over on Lemmy.ml.
I’ve been looking for the OG community for water lovers before we had to migrate hydrohomies
Time to bring back WaterNiggas
We are hydrohomies now. People of culture 🧐
I was hoping that would happen
All my homes stay hydrated. Fuck sodas
Drywall? More like Wetwall when I’m done with it.
Um… what?
You said you hydrate your homes. As do I.
I didn’t… huh?
You had a typo. They made a joke.
Not trying to be annoying, just curious. However, can you tell me where is the typo?
All my homes stay hydrated. Fuck sodas
It says “all my homes” not “homies”.
You want me to drink actual Dihydrogen Monoxide? No way!
You got it all over my epidermis!!!
I miss all my hydrohomies.
Not just water but lots of it. Try to drink at least a gallon a day.
That’s some rookie numbers!
I like russian water
