No Stupid Questions
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.

What are your goals?
Some athletes will carb load before an event, so that there's more glucose available for their muscles to perform during the event. This has to be done just before the event, because glucose is not stored in the body, so it's taken out of the blood pretty rapidly. So if you need this extra performance enhancement it has to be just before the event. This is also a reason many pre-workouts will have lots of glucose/carbohydrates ingredients
Other athletes will do ketosis training, and do the event with no glucose. This is usually more endurance events. That benefit from long sustained energy consumption for multiple hours, rather than the short bursty glucose-based energy consumption. (Marathon versus Sprint for example)
You mentioned dieting, and needing to feel hungry, if one of your goals is weight loss: it's better just to have a healthy diet, don't lose weight to get healthy, get healthy to lose weight. There are many diets people use to achieve their metabolic health goals, the diet I've seen to be most effective for myself and those around me, is a low carbohydrate high-fat diet. But again it's about your goals.
Following a diet where you feel hungry, is fighting an uphill battle, it's doing it on hard mode. Hungry diets are also usually not sustainable long-term. So you might want to investigate a different option
I like this!!
Great. I stole it. It was from one of the lectures on the low carb down under channel, I think it was one of the videos talking about the hormonal model of weight control.
