No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



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.

Questions 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 META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser 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.



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- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I'm trying to lose weight and was told that hwo I eat about 800-1000 calories a day is too low and lowers my metobolism which will prevent weight loss. I've looked up some meal plans and can't really afford stuff like chicken breast, steak, or salmon every week. So that is why I'm wondering how I can eat 1500 calories a day. Are there some alternatives that I can do?

Also I'd like to ask, say I exercise and burn say 500 calories would I have to eat those calories back or no? I ask cuz I've been told yes and told no.

Most people don't count calories. You said it yourself, a few posts below. Are you going to start redefining "normal" now to meet your argument?

Wow....so you think my argument of CICO is bunk... because....most people don't count calories...the fuck type of logic is this?

[–] theluckyone@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

You really need to work on that reading comprehension. Valmond stated that people will regain weight when they return to eating normally after dieting.

You claim that's not how physics work, then move the goal posts stating "if people only eat what they need, they won't gain the weight back." Well no shit Sherlock, but they're not eating normally. They're gaining the weight back if they go back to eating normally.

Quit being so quick to attack folk and read the fucking post.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Again, that's not normal eating is it? If they were obese in the first place. Stop acting like it's somehow normal for someone to consume 4000 calories a day or more.

[–] theluckyone@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Normal for them, not your normal. Nobody asked you for your personal definition of normal. Again, reading comprehension. Get some.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lol no just no. Stop please. We're talking about CICO and actual facts. Not bullshit made up by the HAAS gang who doesn't want to believe that being obese is extremely not healthy for you.

[–] theluckyone@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, we're not discussing CICO. We're discussing your inability to recognize that the OP used the phrase "eating normally" to describe dieters returning to their normal eating habits (ie, how they ate prior to dieting), and your resulting attack on the OP.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes we are discussing CICO, which you and a few others seem to be completely ignorant of.

On top of that, no where has OP said anything about eating normally in his post. They have stated they wanted to know if the junk science they have been told is true or not. You coming into the topic and describing bunk science and acting like a climate denier, is exactly what I'm tired of seeing. It's bullshit science you're spewing and doesn't actually help anyone.

[–] theluckyone@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Quote by the OP, emphasis mine: "Your body probably will go full panic mode and store back as much as possible as soon as you starts [sic] to eat normally again. I'd advice agains [sic] doing anything so violent, and just lower your food intake to a bit under normal."

After which you attack the OP for violating the laws of physics. The OP didn't attack CICO, promote bunk science, or deny climate. Neither am I.

You've got the personality of dog shit and an equivalent reading comprehension. Quit gaslighting.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

OP is the OP not a commentor in this comment chain. I didn't attack them, I pointed out that they're wrong. It's not my damn fault you guys follow junk science and yes go read other comments from here, people absolutely are attacking CICO with more junk science.

I honestly don't give a shit about my personality, this is a forum and I'm here to have honest factual discussions, not have people lie and twist facts to their own agendas. If you want that go to truth social or Facebook.
