I tried keto this year for the first time. Lost 14 pounds between jan 2nd and Feb 2nd. Came of it in Feb though but planning on going back to it from tomorrow. Takes a 3-4 days to get into ketosis but once there it’s easy to eat in a deficit as the hunger and cravings just disappear. I use myfitnesspal app and a Fitbit. Daily macros is 75% fat, 20% protein, 5% carbs.

If you are still of the old (wrong) mindset that dietary fat causes heart disease and cholesterol you should do a bit of reading up on all the new clinical studies showing that it’s simply untrue. Refined carbs are what will kill you, sugar especially.

Edit - good starting point for those interested - https://mobile.nytimes​.com …https://www.goo​gle.co.uk/

My fitness pal app is awesome. You'd probably gawk at my carb intake though lol. They're mostly unrefined carbs, but I load up bananas and oatmeal before and after my workouts.

But that app is so easy to use and it's helped me stay on top of things. I'm mostly concerned with calories in and out, but when dieting while exercising strenuously you end end up eating clean innately because it's hard to maintain a calorie defecit with nutritionally empty foods and still perform well.

Here’s a screenshot from SAR, interesting specs! The a7iii is a seriously intriguing camera

Sony already made 693 phase on the A9, why not gave it to the RIII? is it because it's an old sensor?

So is the a7iii likely to af better than the a7riii? Is that what these headline numbers are saying?

Unless you need the resolution, the A7III really is the better camera.

Eddie, you’re blessed to be in such a beautiful location. Isle of Man is amazing. I’m considering a trip to Thailand next year as our second big overseas trip. A few years ago we went to Maui which was great.

I should be in northern Georgia at the end of summer and Fayetteville AR in May. Also going to the Great Wolf Lodge near Dallas for Christmas.

Still want to visit Vancouver, PAC Northwest, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Chicago (for architecture), and Idaho to name a few.

Very interested in your trip to Thailand. Land of the cobra, even in downtown Bangkok!!! I think if I ever went I'd have to pay for a snake tour!
We've traveled a bit but never to Asia and would love to.

Yeah there isn’t a definitive answer, you just have to do what works best for you. If I was still weight training I wouldn’t be doing keto and would be increasing my carbs

I’m not technical with this stuff but I believe it’s a sensor limitation since the riii got the rii sensor whereas the a9 and 7iii are both new sensors

About 2 hours ago I was set on an a9, now I’m wondering about the 7iii as a second body lol

Per Gordon Lang, a7 III does have a few build quality inferiorities (compared to a7R III). And that we can easily deduce ourselves just considering shutter mechanism life expectancies. Also the a7R III has the better EVF, while a7 III has the older unimproved EVF.

So, of the two, if you want the best built camera with the best EVF, then a7R III is it. However, the a7 III packs in an unreal amount of awesomeness in its $1999 price, including a few superiorities of its own, so it might indeed be the better buy if not definitively the better camera.

With the overlaps in specs, they're certainly not making it easy to choose between A7iii/Riii & A9.

Metabones IV. I have the MC-11, but the Metabones is overall better.

and i thought it performed wonderfully with the mc11..

would i be a fool if i bought the lens again

i know there is the fe 35 1.4 .. but

No rolling shutter when using the silent shutter. Blackout free shooting.

20fps is a bit ridiculous...but for dance it might actually be useful in getting those perfect poses with perfect facial expressions. For things in motion, a lot can happen between frames at 20fps.

I completely forgot the rolling shutter thing. This would actually be a big deal for dance like you said...

dang now I want to pick up a A9 instead lol.

I’ve got a few lenses on my “I’d be a fool if I bought the lens again” list.
I bought/sold TS-E 17mm and 24mm II lenses twice already. But sometimes (even lately) I contemplate getting them back in my bag.

Talley with dance I'd not think distance is an issue? Me thinking make sure the 24mpx offers enough cropability. In my world
of wildlife/birds/BIF distance is always an issue and/or my ability to minimize that distance.
