Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
So I watched one of those advertising sites' videos on weight loss that X22 advertised. It says that caralluma fimbriata root was been traditionally used for appetite suppressing. That website has an all-in-one product that has this ingredient along with other stuff like probiotics, but those sites generally won't ship to Japan for a reasonable shipping rate. I just bought some caralluma from iHerb since I was already putting in an order for some supplements, and got a discount as well as free shipping.
So it's been a few days and I think it's having the right affect on me. The temptation for an afternoon snack has decreased significantly.
Have you tried IF btw?
What is IF?
Intermittent Fasting. Basically you stop eating, lets say at 5 pm, and dont eat anything until 9am (you can vary the times based on how long you want to fast each day)
Oh, that's what you mean. No, I haven't. My coworker does this. He's become a fatso over the past few years. It doesn't seem to be working for him. I was thinking about maybe trying this by skipping lunch. Haven't gotten around to trying it yet though.
I hope this works out for you. Report back and let us know on your progress.
