The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Notes -
I've been looking at my database of the things I've eaten and I've noticed one simple value for savory dishes that rather reliably tells you if it's worth eating: protein to fat ratio, or PFR for short:
Of course, this doesn't apply to keto diets, but it's a great rule of thumb for regular "eat less" diets. I use it to plan my meals without counting the calories, the only counting I do is a snack/dessert budget, where I just treat myself to ~300 calories per day.
PFR by calories, or by grams?
