Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I don't want to lose weight for vanity. I want to live beyond my 50s.
I feel it. Living in an industrial society you really need to go against the grain to do it. As someone who has experienced substance dependency, it really is the same lizard brain urges. Avoiding hyperpalatable foods really helps. I cannot over eat oatmeal and yogurt, but bacon and hash browns absolutely. Carb portion control is really important for me, because I was eating easily over 400 calories of starches in a meal not counting anything else.
