True. Over time, I noticed less undesirable weight fluctuation and even weight loss when eating pasta. Also, it felt like a light meal.
The trick is to not eat pasta with bread. Many people forget about the bread that they commonly combine with pasta and then blame the bloating and weight gain on the pasta that they had.
I'd imagine that cutting out red sauce, which commonly has added sucrose, would be better still.
Pasta is unique in that it seems to be beneficial, in terms of glycemic load, when eaten on its own. But combining it with other foods, but especially bread, may render it more taxing than other foods.
That still implies you can afford to see a doctor long term. I assume if someone isn't seeing you regularly they might have issues with calling in a prescription and require a visit. Not saying all do...but without insurance and/or research it may be hard to find one which you know the answer for sure.
I personally have never had a major issue getting referrals and at times call in medication for known long term illnesses but in those cases they were medical professionals who I had been using for long periods of time before having a lapse in regular visits.
"The American College of Radiology recommends limiting lifetime diagnostic radiation exposure to 100 mSv. That is equal to 10,000 chest x-rays or up to 25 chest CTs."
This is helpful and informative it doesn't however mean it is zero risk just that its low risk enough to do many times if there is a corresponding diagnostic benefit.
There is only one arrest for every 27000 miles driven drunk too it doesn't mean you should drive even one mile down the road drunk to get tacos or get one unnecessary x-ray so doctor billsgood can make another payment on his boat.
You will statistically probably make it ok in either case but its a stupid pointless risk.
Incidentally the link looks very informative but I cannot read it due to a paywall.
Some doctors have an xray on site in their clinic. He is presumably billing an extra 250-500 every time he takes a picture. Doctors that have diagnostic equipment and thus benefit from usage are much more likely to order an xray than doctors who wouldn't profit from it.
Lol, these self monitor systems can't even produce useful data in regards to heart arrhythmias, I would be surprised if they are any better at mood recognition given how complex mood is by comparison to heart function.
I can feel stressed cooking, but usually that's from an Internal desire to create something good. It's also avoidable with frozen or delivery (or asking my wife to cook). The end result is often enjoyable, too.
Driving in traffic stress is external, reduces my faith in humanity, and is most often unavoidable. The end result (was) often that I was at work or home late. Not enjoyable.
$200/300. Everyone uses income based repayment plans. It's literally impossible to make standard payment plan monthly payments on a residents salary (assuming a average debt).
Those payments don't even reach the principle though, so it's more just kicking the can down the road.
Less than 1% of Facebook ads get clicked. Not sure what sort of roi marketing folks have come up with to convince purse strings their ads are actually producing, but if the "marketing" department can't spin numbers to look good, might be time find a new marketing department.
Then you can get 2% of your ads clicked on.
All that said, I'd be interested in learning if my layman's perspective is garbage (which, let's be honest, it probably is).
The number is far less than 1%. Other than that, your layman's perspective is correct.
I'm in the custom apparel industry, where a lot of purchases are (were - it's dropped off) driven by facebook ads. If Facebook ads were as effective as the HN zeitgeist seems to think, there would be no other kind of commerce.
