If you listen to recordings of statesmen from the early 1900s, you quickly realize how far the US has fallen. The country went from having a freedom loving soul to “how can we deny the most freedoms the fastest”. It feels like there’s actual envy of a communist ways of doing things. People have been warning of this as far back as a century ago that if you side with everyone, you lose your identity to mediocrity.

This is false, the body needs amino acids for brain and organ function, the muscles are the body’s amino acid reserves. I’ve done OMAD, 16/8 20/4 and 72 hour fasts, I’m not saying they are bad for you, ketones are good fuel, but ketones aren’t a replacement for amino acids.

The body will create ketones from fat first - your body does not harvest protein until the very end (which makes sense if you think deep about it). Ketones are VERY good energy source for body/brain. Furthermore, fatty meats are better than lean meats because too much protein can actually raise insulin levels. This is contrary to common Government agency advance today!

I think the best research says if you are fasting, anything over 48-72 hours and you 'could' end up eating into muscle. The wide time span is different metabolism.

But the amino acids in protein (especially red/colored meat) are vital to life - and you can NOT get them all from plant diets (so much supplement). So you are 100% right on the protein consumption!

Great book, "Change you diet, change your mind" - which will lead to several other very good books.

I’m on day 14 of the 16 day cleanse I started.

It’s about 900-1200 calories a day, mostly raw vegetables and black coffee 😂

No salt, seasonings or sauces. Lots of dry salad, lots of grapefruit and 4-5 eggs a day.

I went through the full emotional rollercoaster doing this, I woke up depressed one morning about 6 days in.

“Why the hell am I doing this!?”

I am working out 7 days a week as well, lifting weights and doing HIIT and yoga. I almost passed out multiple times at the gym in the first week, but my body has adapted and I’m even making rep gains on the cleanse.

This was more of a mental challenge than a health challenge.

2 days left and I’m starting to see abs which is kind of mind blowing to me … I never thought I would have defined abs.

I thought I had too much stomach fat.

In 2010 I started exercising for the first time in my life and did P90X 3 times in a row and lost 40-50 lbs, that was my peak fitness level around 160 lbs.

Over the last decade I yo-yo’d up and down between 190-165, mostly sitting around 175-180 … gaining weight then losing it to make sure I never got back to my peak fatness.

I’m about to surpass my peak fitness level now at 41, and it feels surreal.

The next 3 mths is a muscle building phase.

My goal body is within reach.

Why the hell are half of the AA & AAA batteries in my long term stash completely dead? They claim to be good for another 6 years. Both Energizer & Duracell.

APPLE NEEDS TO GET IT TOGETHER

My friend likes to add a bit of French vanilla non-dairy creamer to her coffee and asked me to look at the ingredients to see if it’s healthy or not.

Creamer is an ounce-for-ounce contender for the worst food on the planet.

The ingredients are: sugar water, water, sugar, seed oil, isolated milk protein, and chemicals.

One of my least favorite routine things about modern society is how comically bad our food is. People look back at how bad it was having cocaine in Coca Cola and stuff like that, but when you add all processed food together in a typical person’s daily consumption, it’s arguably worse than that.
