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).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Alright tell me about creatine. Is it good?
Also BCAAs. Do I need to eat this stuff? Are all these exercise supplements total BS?
Creatine is actually interesting. It inflates your muscles. Also it binds to simple sugars and draws them into your muscles. You can actually add creatine to dishes to make them taste less sweet.
BCAAs are essentially pre-digested protein. You can drink them in the morning to get quick energy, but if you're on a high protein diet they aren't really needed.
Ephedrine is useful, it's a stimulant that opens up your airways. Just stick with one or two 8mg tablets. Some people take large does and that gets scary.
