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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Not a doctor, but used to cut a lot of weight and can regurgitate some of the stuff I was told that's definitely too specific to be universally true but might give good hints.
"The body can't burn fat off past a certain rate, ~3pbs / week. Any weight loss beyond that is probably mostly dehydration."
"Alcohol metabolizes to sugar up to the point that you can't metabolize it anymore, and it starts getting you drunk. Any time you catch a buzz, you've also basically eaten a bowl of candy."
My two bits: firstly try to eat as healthy as you can, meaning definitely cut all sugar, then try to cut carbs generally, then fats and salts. Weight yourself every morning before you eat. Take it slow, aiming for a couple of pounds a week (just under your 20lbs/month goal). If you're not on pace, ramp up exercise a lot (especially cardio) and trim your intake a little. (More exercise better than less food.). Stay well hydrated the whole way. It'll help your body process all the challenges.
Hate to break it to you brother, but you definitely want to cut the beer while you're trying to get to your target weight. Maybe you can figure it out without doing that, but that's hard mode for sure, and I don't think you'd be asking for tips if you were really ready for hard mode.
