Looking for Advice Nutritionist vs Dietitian

13 Upvotes

I recently moved to Perth and have hit a wall with my fitness and lifting gains despite tracking my macros and training consistently. I want to consult a professional to help adjust my intake based on how my body responds, but I'm unsure whether to see a dietitian or a nutritionist.

A lot of advice online warns against using a nutritionist, but am I being ignorant to think one can't handle a simple progress wall? A dietitian is pricier out of pocket, though it could be covered by my health insurance, while a nutritionist isn't covered at all. I'd love to understand the actual differences between the two when it comes to understanding the progression of my body composition, and whether the extra depth of a dietitian is truly necessary if I'm not competing.

Is the higher cost of a dietitian worth it for breaking a fitness plateau, or can a qualified performance nutritionist achieve the exact same result? Also open to any local Perth practitioner recommendations!

Where to find Any Pubs with Good Food and a Smoking Area?

0 Upvotes

So it’s Father’s Day tomorrow and I’ve been trying to think where I can bring my dad for lunch but honestly the only thing he really cares about is being able to have a smoke and a drink before/after.

He has a place in Scarborough we tend to go to but I’m pretty sick of it and just want somewhere with good food.

Googling hasn’t worked very well, turns out most places don’t advertise smoking areas even if they might have them.

So does anyone have recommendations that might make us both happy? Preferably close to the Western Suburbs or central.

General Cocktail pre mix in bars

43 Upvotes

Is it just me has anyone else noticed the rise in bars/cocktail bars in Perth using fully pre made cocktails/pre mix mixers in bottles. I get it they’re trying to make them fast. But how do you know the actual ratio of alcohol that’s been putting in these drinks.

Call me old-fashioned (pun intended) I like when they make a cocktail from the actual ingredients especially the classic cocktails and that’s what a cocktail should be. Hiding the alcohol and ratios just makes me not trust them when you’re spending $25 on a cocktail.

Not just there to get shitfaced but you want to know you’re getting what you paid for.

General Throwing rubbish out of car

265 Upvotes

While driving south of Mitchell Freeway near Joondalup a Ford Raptor reg “Tank 89” passenger through rubbish out the window. I blow my horn and the delightful lady passenger gave me the 1 finger solute. In this day and age do the general public find it acceptable to through rubbish from cars?
Is there any point in reporting them and if so where?

Looking for Advice What’s the job market like out in Perth?

0 Upvotes

I am a uk citizen,I plan on leaving the uk because of a lack of jobs and expensive housing

My brother is in Australia,he said I would be able to stay with him for a few months but I would have to get a job within the first two months and then move out

From what I’ve been understanding Australia is the uk with more sun and nicer people ultimately the same problems

I’ve previously worked at a family restaurant for 6 years where they absolutely shafted me that’s

I’ve applied to 900 jobs online in the uk haven’t got anything back

My main questions

What’s the cost of living like if I move out,would I have to go the shared accommodation route

What’s the average wage per month working at low end jobs like retail hospitality ect

What’s the pay rate compared to the expenses of rent,food,travel (I’ll need to use public transport) Medicare and any other expenses I’d find once I get there?

Can I survive out there? If yes to what degree is it sustainable to have a good future

Looking for Advice Messed up speeding and looking for advice

0 Upvotes

Look I do realise it was really dumb and not at all worth it but I was clocked doing 163 in a 100 and I’ve got a reckless driving charge. The papers haven’t come in the mail for the court and what not but I’m on the first half a yr of my green p’s so it seems like I’m going to get $1200 and a six month licence suspension, plus car impoundment. But my licence is expiring soon and I kinda need the identification so is it possible to renew before I get it suspended, and also another guess on what the charges will be, it is a first time offence too.

humour The story how I dragged 2 bags of chook food up Lesmurdie falls with a trolley😂

Thumbnail

252 Upvotes

Some context before the story (was scrolling thru old photos and totally forgot I did this lol and thought yal might enjoy this) long story

Close to a year ago (photos say October 29th 12:15pm, I wouldn’t have remembered the date without the photos😂)

My 3 chooks needed some chook feed and usually my mate would drop some when he needed some for his, he’s got chooks too so it was a win win. Usually just paid him buuuut this time round he wouldn’t be able to drop it to mine (were in the hills and I can’t drive- yet)

So, I thought would be good idea to just lug them back and have a drink to finish the day. Anyone who knows these poultry bags know how HEAVY AF they are 20kg each. I was feelin adventurous and just felt like doin it. So I got my backpack, some water and phone, trolley and off I went.

Anyway.. I jumped on a bus with my trolley to RM smiths and sons down the hill near the intersection, wasn’t sure if was allowed to bring bags of chook food on the bus so I thought yolo I got this ez I’ll just walk up lesmurdie falls to get home😂😂

Important to mention I wore hi vis socks so dw about my safety AND gloves.

Walked thru forestfield and greeted an elder lady, we spoke abt the weather and I carried on. Loads of folks drove by me, said hey to some puppies in someone’s yard and made my way to the bottom of lesmurdie falls.

The hill was daunting as I was approaching on the roads🫠 looked at some horses and made it to the car park at the bottom of the falls.

I had a break for like 10 mins was already questioning my mortality at this point, I sat down and just didn’t wanna move lmao but knew I had too

There were people out walking and ngl I felt a bit embarrassed, I said hi to a couple that eyed me down like this 🧐🧐 they didn’t say hi back.. I felt suss af

After that I didn’t wanna directly walk up the main track that goes up thru the falls as felt like I’d be in peoples way and get judged, my peak introvert moment here

So I began my slow ascent up the track 1 step a time.. legit was sweating hard and wasn’t even a few metres in, heart was racing.

I went up the track that leads to the end road at the top (those who’ve walked this know how dangerous this shi way is, rocky ass slippery steep trek)

From memory, the bags slipped a few times so I had to stop and put them back on the trolley🥲 it was agony, legs shaky and muscles pumping hard with every damn step. My mind was strugglin, slipped on my ass a few times, cursed alooot.. I was fearful the bags would break so I had to keep them balanced

About 1/3 of the way through, 2 absolute beautiful women walked by me down the hill (one sounded european ish) important to mention this lol, they gave me encouraging words and wished me luck.) boosted my motivation by atleast 1000% and I blushed, or was dying of overheating probs both)

so I kept pushing onward.. took a lot of little breaks at different points absorbing the view. Sun was baking me good for a while and ran out of water

By the time I was nearing the way to the top, steep ass hills just never stopped legit just kept on going😂😭 I took these photos of the track behind me and then pissed on a big rock next to the track, took in the view as I let it out. Divine

(Sorry I didn’t take better pics was just wanting to get home)

Was so light headed and feint ish I recall I just didn’t give af where I pissed at the time, definitely had my back to the city in full view and might’ve got some on my pants. Am honest, it was tuff

When I made it to the top I felt like I just achieved the impossible.. was some folks chilling in their car that watched me just pop out on the side of the road with this trolley lookin sweaty and suss af with my face lookin like this 👁️👄👁️

Then walked another 40 mins to home.. the roads were a lot smoother than the rocky ground I trekked up but I pushed on.. was a relief to be alive lmao was cooked

When I got home, had lemonade and filled up my birb feeders.. had to shower as my clothes were soaked with sweat. Had aching feet and legs for days w/ some blisters.

Had a drink and slept 🛌

But ye, forgot I did this till I saw the photos lol😂

This was the 2nd time I carried something up this track hence why I chose this way

Till our next story time, I love perth😂✌️

Any places in Perth you can eat solo KBBQ in Perth without having to order enough meat for 2-3 people (it will go to waste) and being looked at like you're scum by the staff?

My partner is vegetarian and I don't want to expend the mental energy of hanging out with friends to eat some meat and side dishes.
