Trying something. Put daily events on my work calendar to remind me to time-restrict certain activities. Will update them as needed.
For now,
- No coffee after noon (did this today, trying to cut way back on coffee, which I have pretty much been drinking around the clock)
- No cigarettes until after noon. (Except on when I wake up).
For those playing the long game, I quit cigarettes a little over a year ago. I was off them for 7 months. It's getting close to quitting time again, but just trying something to see how it goes with this.
All of this is (a new) part of a bigger plan, where in about a month from now, I will be eliminating a lot of things for diet/health reasons, and playing off the various withdrawals against each other. Already started eliminating things, but going further than I have dared before.
I don't know if I will make it as far as ingesting only beef, salt, and water - but I hope to get pretty close to that, at least for a little while.
Really anywhere that has the least artificial lighting. Not because I jave something against artificial light, just because those places seem to be the most calming to me.
Ngl, I've been enjoying the Teton Ranch products occasionally.
Any experiences or information on GHB, especially at lower dosages? Not really looking for the party drug experience, more for therapeutic options.

(Just hard for me to see information presented as fact that I believe to be at best to be questionably true with plenty of nuance and discrepancy thrown in)
Disgreeable doesn't need to be disrespectful.
Today I bought groceries for week.
Roughly 11 pounds of beef steaks, at an average price of a little less than $5/lb.
That's it. Done.
That's a little over 1.5 lbs of steak per day. A wildly inaccurate calorie estimate would put that at about 1400 calories per day, but I know it is more than that because I eat all the fat drippings and sometimes add tallow or butter, which I already have plenty of. If I run out of steaks, I have some more in the freezer.
Don't tell me how expensive this plan is. How many Americans eat for $55/week?
If you have ANY debt, and also have #Bitcoin, you are leveraged-long. The only question is how much.
Playing this game - and the answer to how much is however much my fiat mining can maintenance in the short term after fixed expenses.
I feel you. And I may have overstepped, and if so I apologize. Information is just that, and what you believe and how you choose to use it are entirely up to you.
Stay curious, and keep learning!
Definitely interested. My own path is likely going to go far beyond keto for a while. The difference is that I'm not planning to monitor ketones or blood sugars. If people ask anymore, I either tell them I'm doing keto, or that I just eat meat, depending on how much I think they value vegetables.
I also used to love tracking everything - data-driven health approach, but I've left that behind because I care a bit more about opsec and my digital footprint, the less trackers, the better.
Not actually denying a god here, just pointing out the science that explains what people are quick to blame on one.
You haven't tinkered with your diet enough until you try not eating any plants or sugars. I applaud you for trying, though. I don't buy the genetic argument just because you hadn't found a way to fix yourself with plants. Your organs definitely won't process and absorb nutrients from plants perfectly, because they were evolved to run on a high meat diet. They will process and absorb nutrients from meat most efficiently. This is why veganism requires supplements to be sustained for any length of time, and even supplements often lack bioavailablity of whatever they were supposed to supplement.
Go ahead, run your gasoline car on biodiesel and see how that works out.
"uric acid stones are correlated with the ingestion of red meat and alcohol."
Only if you consider "red meat" includes pizza, fast food cheeseburgers, steak dinner with potatoes and broccoli and bread and apple pie desserts. This is meaningless "correlation".
Alcohol is poison. The red meat part of that argument has been fully debunked, because the studies were bullshit. Does red meat equal more uric acid? Yes, but it does NOT mean it will form stones, crystallize, cause gout, etc. unless also paired with consumption of plants, which create inflammation and cause systemic failures that result in all the various stones you've dealt with. Treat your kidneys better by removing the inflammation caused by ingesting plant toxins.
I think the body (and the brain) has no nutritional requirement whatsoever for chlorophyll. and whatever you are ingesting that chlorophyll would help detoxify, maybe you should start by not eating those either.
Parsley came to be used as a garnish for the same reason.
End of an era. Kind of like when Art Bell went off the air.
If so, it's a hell I'd gladly join you in.
Sugars/carbs ingested during pregnancy, then plant-based chemical formulas after birth, followed by sugar and plant-based "baby foods", followed by cereal, lots of seed oils, ultraprocessed chemical-ridden carbohydrate rich foods...
And dumbasses that think a god let it happen, while ignoring the actual science around sugar, metabolism, mitochondria, and cancer.
Gays see symbols of heterosexuality everywhere they go, all the time. Removing sexuality from culture is not going to happen, and would be a horrible idea if it did. I personally couldn't care less about seeing more "symbols" for a month, although I think much of it is just patronizing. There are much more egregious examples of patronization under the guise of inclusively though. It not my battle to fight, but I support those that do.

Is this accurate
