I'm also searching for it .started being a Lurker on R. now looking up here.
All my homes stay hydrated. Fuck sodas
We need the HydroHomies community on here
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".
Water? Like in the toilet?
Does it have any electrolytes like Brawndo?
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.
Water?
Like from the toilet?
Not from the toilet, that gives you rads.
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.
What do you replace alcohol with? Hiking through nature? Meditation? Cocaine?
Cocaine is great for weight-loss..
Smoking weed is fat free, sugar free, and zero calories! Just watch out for those munchies!
I have photos of what munchies can make you do.
It was delicious tho. No regrets.
Just watch out for those munchies!
Pro tip (but that works for me, that may not work for you) when you smoke weed, prepare a huge bowl of salad beforehand, an enormous one, when I'm stoned I don't care about what I'm eating as long as it's food, a huge bowl of salad is totally fine and if you don't stuff it with seasonings is pretty low on calories and actually good for your health. You can stuff yourself to stop the hunger plus eat something good and low calorie.
I go for air popped popcorn with flavocol on top. Not the healthiest but not too bad all considered. And a shitload of fiber.
Celery is great too, lots of cronch and helps with cotton mouth
Great tips! We are fans of making veggie trays!
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.
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
Not just water but lots of it. Try to drink at least a gallon a day.
That's some rookie numbers!
Is there a hydrohomies community here?
Time to bring back WaterNiggas
We are hydrohomies now. People of culture 🧐
As American, can confidently say that yes, people drink soda as water. You can usually find people who drink directly out of the 2 liters but be mouth agape when you tell them you drink water from the tap
You know tap water ain't healthy, right?
People are so accustomed to sugar overload they literally can't taste anymore. I drink la croix if I want something a bit bubbly, but so many Americans make fun of la croix drinkers. "It's like smelling a lemon from 10 feet away haw haw haw".
No, drinks like that actually have a lot of flavor, but your taste buds are so constantly overwhelmed with sugar that your literal ability to taste has degradated
as someone who exclusively drinks water / sparkling water, La Croix barely has an aftertaste of a hint of flavor lol I prefer most other sparkling waters to it
A lot of tap water isn't healthy.
My towns tap water is on a boil notice a few times a month at least.
Soda being unhealthy =/= tap water being healthy
To fix that problem you can install a Reverse Osmosis water filter system under your sink to get a "tap" of purified water and not have to buy water from the store. I got one with a pH re-mineralization stage to add back some beneficial minerals that RO purification removes. The filtered water tastes absolutely perfect.
About how much did your whole set up cost you and were you able to install it yourself or is this something a plumber would need to do?
It was about $175 if I recall correctly. Installed it myself, wasn't very difficult. Had to drill 3 holes under the sink for hoses to go in their places.
I think the drill was the only tool I needed. Replacement filter sets are around $80 per year, so the cost over time / per day is very small. I drink water from it several times per day.
EDIT: Oh yeah I needed some wrenches too for the T-junction connection. You have to turn off your water to the sink, then wrench free the pipe and install the T-junction in between, to tap the output for your filter system.
Wait? American and your soda bottles use litres?
The large ones yes. The smaller ones are still in U.S. Customary, we have 8oz, 12oz, 20oz and sometimes 24oz containers for when you want smaller amounts.
I like russian water
