My entire extended family, my dad and my sister are all metabolically deranged. They think I’m crazy for eating only meat when they’re all chronically tired, have high blood pressure, have fatty liver / visceral abdominal fat, and persistent brain fog / memory problems.

It is so frustrating knowing exactly what’s wrong with them and them all collectively branding me “crazy” and ignoring my pleas for change.

Sorry to hear this. All you can do is lead by example, become the Omega point for health, and be available to help them make incremental changes. Eventually the PoW on your health will become too loud to ignore.

👆yes. This.

I will definitely continue leading by example and hopefully I’ll reach one of them event. In the end you’re right but it’s tough to watch them all struggle with something so obvious (and fixable) and them be so delusional about their addictions and the effects.

Sometimes the best one can do is teach by example, hoping people will catch on

Doing my best 🙏

Same. I was at the so called family haha gathering and mannnn they fat and eating like pigs. They kept offering me food and snacks and im like nahh i had my meal. Do you not hear yourself breathe like stop eating bro hahaha ya its frustrating

It’s crazy. Literally each eating over a dozen cookies on top of so much other shit. Wtf

💯

Really challenging situation.

I think it’s similar to trying to help an alcoholic out of that addiction. Once metabolic syndrome reaches a certain intensity, it takes both psychological and physiological discipline, much like alcohol addiction. A friend of mine just had gastric bypass surgery, and thankfully it has given him an edge in the fight. I believe he could have accomplished the same end with a less risky approach: one 72 hour fast, then one hour of eating as much and anything he wished every 48 hours until the desired body mass is achieved, then same every 24 hours to maintain. This approach avoids the complexity of controlling appetite and food selection desire. A person learns very quickly that carbs don’t offer the benefits that meat and fat can provide. I gain ten to twenty pounds during the holiday season, come the new year it’s back to reasonable alcohol consumption and OMAD eating. It’s nice to be able to choose gluttony for a time and know how to recover the tailspin.
