I've had a lot of success in keeping water nearby at all times and the only easily accessible foods being vegetables or fruits. If I really want to eat something while I watch a movie or something I can easily eat an apple instead of chips or candy and if I'm feeling a bit peckish the water will either delay that or sometimes stop it entirely.
It's honestly really hard and I'm glad you've found success in your own methods. I think the recumbent bike is a cool idea and honestly it makes me want to do the same. I would love to have one rigged up to an alternator and a battery, even knowing it would be minuscule I think powering a fan now and then off my energy would be really cool.
Ideally, I'd be able to hook up whatever to it and use it as like...supplemental power, but honestly, I'm about as little work as possible. I'm working on my exercise bike rn, I run, I have a water rower and am planning on buying a nicer one soon cause my Amazon Special one is lacking now after using a nice one. But the recumbent bike in front of a TV is just unbeatable. I can play Xbox and just mindlessly pedal on it, and unlike the exercise bike, I don't feel it in my taint (sorry for the imagery) for 2 days afterwards. Lol
I also try the water stuff, just doesn't help. I have a camelback on my chair I fill with water I drink out of lmao
I'm nearly 2m tall so I get it when you talk about the seat being uncomfortable, I feel like they're one step from a suppository.
Same I think? Idk when metric users round up, but I'm ~1.85m. I just don't fit comfortably lol.
Sounds like a breeze 🌬️💨
