      It’s freshly available as generic this year so no more having to perform PhD dissertations each year to get insurance to cover it. Prior authorizations are dumb af. Why would I lose my need for a medication once a year every year? And why are not-doctors making decisions on which drugs I am given?

          Yes the Vyvanse patent expired this year I think my pharmacist said it was sometime in September officially that the generic could legally be sold. My pharmacy just got their first few shipments the morning of the day I ordered it after waiting days for prior auth issues before the store got the generic in stock. It was a Kroger pharmacy.

    Zero calorie drinks and swap all your meat for beans. I’m not a femboy, but I’m a slim, healthy woman who eats Taco Bell at least once a week. It’s the only fast food I eat because it’s the only fast food with meaningful seasoning, and I can just go for beans to make it incredibly light. Taco Bell is the only fast food you should be considering when trying to lose weight.

      Or just eat whatever fast food you want and track your calories. 🤷‍♂️ 500 calories of Taco Bell won’t make you any fatter than 500 calories of McDonald’s or Subway.

          The only thing you’re getting from one and not the other is fiber from the beans, and fat adds to satiety too. If you’re tracking what you eat it’s not hard to make up the fiber difference somewhere else.

            The beans and rice in many taco bell offerings provide more nutrients than your average fast food burger or deep fried meat. The fiber and vitamins both make you feel better and more full longer. You also get spices and heat, which tend to make people feel full faster and provide some amount of nutrition. And it moves through your body faster, so you’re not bloated.

              Yeah, obviously you shouldn’t be eating it for every meal. But if you’re getting fast food it’s silly to pretend Taco Bell is health food because it’s got beans in it. If you’re getting fast food get what you want and just account for it.

      tacobell is the best fastfood for losing weight tho it’s still not good as the macros are pretty not great usually

      though i go for 30% fat 40% carbs 30% protein at least on my hiit calisthenics days. sometimes lower carb on rest days

      weight lifting is weird tho eek

    Watch the amount of calories you drink and get exercise

    A lot of people don’t realize how many calories they drink

    Trying to figure out how to get a femboy body, and still eat taco bell three times a week

    Perhaps not the easiest, but I would say by far most effective way is by unlearning the toxic fatphobic misogynistic ideas we’ve all been socialised to have about “femininity” and the kinds of it we’re meant to aspire to and idealise (and those we’re not), and instead embracing and nurturing your curvy femboy self (and/or others).

      Tbh the article you linked has one rather stupid take:

      Even a quick glance at the weight research shows that, despite decades of trying, there is no evidence that efforts to prevent or reverse “obesity” are successful.

      There haven’t quite been any real efforts for decades, especially not in the USA. Banning ads for sweets and implementing a sugar tax should be very effective at reducing sugar intake, linked to obesity and those policies only started being implemented in recent years.

      It’s incredibly difficult to come by any research about those efforts because there’s a multi-billion dollar lobby of advertisers and food manufacturers strongly opposed to this and any other policy attempting to reduce consumption.

      Also its a very eye opening experience. Even if you only do it for a couple weeks, it really shows you how many calories you intake. Which could curb a lot of bad eating habits.

    I usually just fast. Surprisingly this is the easiest method for me to diet. Try to not eat anything in 14+ hours atleast every day.

    I mean, more reasonable portion size of said taco bell? Or just eating a small enough number of calories with every non-taco-bell meal that it averages out to the desired food intake, but that’s probably not as healthy or pleasant.

      I just eat the bare minimum calories for breakfast and lunch to keep myself from going insane from hunger (about 500 total), then I can have a 1000 calorie dinner, which is pretty filling. Lost 80 pounds this way so far.
