The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Not very amazing then, given that I need those to survive.
also it's not like other vegetables have the energy density of plutonium, aside from the starchy stuff most vegetables have precisely the amount of calories that's good for you.
Learn to fill up on veggies and you cannot overeat. No one got overweight gorging on non starch veggies or fruit.
If they do not taste good, do not eat for a day or two, and cut any salt or sugar, your palette will learn to appreciate real food.
Ha! This is my advice to my pirate-crazed kids: Let's try hardtack for a week and I bet this broccoli would taste AMAZING!
I always hate seeing this. I get a lot of people struggle with being overweight, but there are those of us that struggle maintaining a healthy weight. But all health stuff seems to be focused on low calories and losing weight. I can't even program fitness/eating apps to help me gain weight - best I can do is "maintain current weight".
Well that's an easy fix: use maintain weight, and then eat a little more ;)
Even easier: maintain my weight then you’ll gain all you want
Omg, is that really the secret to eating disorders? Just "eat more"? Wow! You should be a licensed dietician!
Do you appreciate it when people tell you "just eat less?". Does that actually work? I guess that means all fat people are just willingly fat, right? They just have to choose to eat less. Why even have health apps in the first place if it's just that simple? Fat people are just lazy.
You see how when flipped around this is wildly offensive, but somehow you think telling someone struggling with low weight to "just eat more" isn't?
Not really. With this flipped around my reaction is …. “whooOOSHH”.
How is it that now even self-deprecating humor targeting oneself can get someone ‘s panties in a bunch?
So someone posts their issue and you think a flippant joke dismissing them is funny?
Enjoy being a fat piece of shit then. I hope you get zero help and everyone just mocks you too.
Health apps also track calories out and this doesn't work for that. Health apps want you to be on a decifit generally(eat less and exercise more). They're just not setup for even "maintain" very well. This doesn't solve the issue that most health apps are obesity centered and have alerts for too many calories, but almost never for too few. This doesn't create a useful plan tailored to my needs, this is just "use something different and pretend it's the same". We do not have the same struggles and the apps don't acknowledge any of that.
But thanks for acting like the entire problem is "just eat more". Omg, why didn't I think of that? Why am I trying to create a plan to help me when I could have just eaten more! Omg! You solved it! You solved all eating disorders! Congrats! All my anxieties just suddenly vanished and I can be normal!
Oh come on. Don't just ignore my smiley and go on a rant like a boomer snowflake.
Winking smiley is sarcasm and whatnot. You wanted a traditional smiley. I didn't ignore your smiley at all, I took it as it was.
But since you called me a "boomer snowflake", you can go fuck yourself, mmmk? Doubling down being a douche doesn't make you cute. Just makes you a douche. I hope every struggle you go through gets ignored and ridiculed too ;)
