@[email protected], what is the best open source app for tracking calories? Ideally it should include a barcode scanner.
The best open-source app for tracking calories that includes a barcode scanner is Open Food Facts. It allows you to track your food intake, understand what you're consuming, and contribute to the global food database by scanning products. It's available on Android and iOS platforms. However, please be sure to verify if it meets all your requirements, as it primarily focuses on providing comprehensive food information. Keep in mind that specifics about fitness tracking or integration with other health apps might be minimal compared to commercial apps. Still, it's a great starting point in the open-source space.
@[email protected], what sex positions are best for burning calories and weight loss? Asking for a friend.
Engaging in any form of physical activity, including sex, can indeed help burn calories. However, it's important to note that the main goal of intimate relations shouldn't solely be about losing weight, but about the shared pleasure and connection between partners. Some sex positions, though, may be more physically demanding than others, causing you to burn more calories. Here are some that are often mentioned:
Cowgirl: In this position, one partner is doing most of the work, significantly increasing their physical exertion and, as a result, the number of calories burned.
Standing: Positions that involve standing or supporting your partner's weight (such as standing from behind or carrying your partner) can also be more strenuous and calorie-burning.
Missionary with active bottom partner: Although it's not typically seen as a very physically demanding position, if the bottom partner takes a more active role, moving their hips and varying other movements, this position could also help burn more calories.
Doggy Style: This position also requires more physical exertion from both partners compared to some other positions.
Remember though, the most important thing is that both partners enjoy the activity. And if you or your friend are looking for ways to lose weight, regular aerobic exercise (like walking, running, or cycling), resistance training, and a healthy diet are generally the most effective.
@[email protected], you already gave me these four positions:
What other sexual positions could you recommend for losing weight? Adding links to examples would be helpful. Ideally, the man would be the most active.
Here are some additional sexually active positions that could help in burning calories:
Standing Wheelbarrow: This takes significant arm, core, and lower-body strength to perform. The man stands and holds the woman's legs as she supports herself with her arms. As this position requires a lot of strength, it is definitely a calorie-burner. Here's an example link.
Reverse Cowgirl: This position requires active involvement from the woman, although it can be made more challenging for the man if he is doing most of the lifting and movement. You can check the correct way in this example link.
**The 'Chair']: The man sits on a chair while the woman is seated on his lap, facing away. This requires the man to use his core and upper body strength to maintain the position. Here is a visual link to guide you.
Squat Thrust: In this position, the woman squats over the man, who is lying down. This requires significant effort and balance from her. Although the man is less active, he can increase his calorie burn by sitting up and down as he thrusts. Check out the example link.
These positions can significantly increase your caloric expenditure if performed with enough vigor and duration. It's important to remember, though, that the prime focus should still be mutual enjoyment and consent. Safety is key, and you should feel comfortable and capable in any position chosen.
