Definitely.
Jan 1 I'm going to start eating healthy.
I'm going to count my calories using an app.
I'm going to get fit (enough for Army standards).
I'm going to get some hair transplant to remove some white hair.
I'm going to join the army.
All in that order

What? Are you getting old? Why don't you just dye it?

[Anonymous No.18746707]

>>18746662
Two small patches appeared on halo nevus moles on my scalp when I was 16, the skin around the mole is paler so hair grows white there. I dye it when I go out (rarely) but if you stare at it long enough you can tell it's been dyed. My lifelong dream has been to join the army but I don't want to be known as the guy with white hair patches so I want to get rid of them before I apply. It's not like I could hide it, I've thought about it for 10 years.

I need to eat more liver. Its really healthy and would help me with my anemia as its rich in iron, but I just hate the taste. Fried with some onions or mixed with minced beef I eat it at times, but it should still be done more often. Why does such a healthy food taste so gross?

there is absolutely no practical reason to join the military. it's a cope for lazy people to get disciplined without doing it themselves or people retarded enough to think the benefits are actually par value for the commitment
there are rare exceptions based on contract and guaranteed work/officer training. for a handful of careers you can definitely choose to sac 4-6 years of life for insane private industry opportunities but this is rare

Never ever ever join the military for money. It's the most piss of motivations and the pay is the most piss of pays because it's not a 9-5 job, you're not getting paid for 40 hours a week, you're getting paid for 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. The breakdown is terrible. Only join if you're "patriotic" or something, which is itself pretty fucking gay because why would you fight for Israel?

I live in Carrboro NC and fortunate enough to live near some awesome small farms, so I have pledged to get my groceries from there for the next year. It's just me and I can afford to invest a bit in my health like this.

pictured is Chapel Hill creamery. Not only does she sell some great fresh cheeses, she also takes the goatmilk whey and feeds it to her pigs and cows to suppliment their all-grass feed. The absolute BEST ground beef and cheese you can get.

At the same market there is a couple of mills that make their own flours and grits.

Maybe see if there's a way to get cheap protein powder then. It is usually a fairly cheap option on a per-calorie basis if you need more of that in your diet, but obviously it's best you still eat whole foods if you can get ahold of them.

>>18752219
I have to imagine anon is living in NYC/LA or some shit because those are the only places where I think I'd see a dozen eggs for that kind of price.

>>18752235
There's a lot of variables at play for that. What are your goals?

A very general answer would be yes in that a lot of sedentary people eating the standard shitty modern diet could definitely do with more protein in their diet. Though most would recommend getting it from whole food sources like meat, dairy, or beans instead of powder if you can help it.

It's especially helpful if you're planning on becoming more active.

Protein powder is just food, it's not significantly different from just eating a piece of chicken breast aside from missing a few micronutrients and being easier/more convenient to prepare/put down. If you already eat lots of protein (ie you eat a shitton of chicken or drink a lot of milk etc) then adding/replacing a meal with a protein shake is probably not going to have a huge effect.

But most people are not deliberate enough with their nutrition to be maxed out like that so as a general rule it should help. If you're underweight/average weight and want to grow a bit, having a scoop or two of protein a day in addition to what you already eat would generally be beneficial. If you're overweight you could instead try replacing one of your meals with a protein shake.

For what it's worth anon, when I lost weight counting calories/journaling my food is the thing that really made me start shedding the pounds. Especially if you've never really thought about it before it really puts into perspective how many calories are actually in "bad" foods and how easy it is to overeat on them (and part of why obesity has become such a big problem).

I know it might sound stressful to do that but it's easier than ever now that there's so many apps out there for your phone to make it quick and easy (many of them even have a barcode scanner for common foods).
