Are you talking about Type 1, Type 2, or both types of diabetes? With that study of eating all that sugar, did they spike at the beginning of the study and then their body adjusted to be neutral?

Paul what's your view on dietary choline? Any problems there in cutting out eggs to limit linoleic acid?

Argument 3 is where the rubber hits the road but it isn't laid out well enough for me to comment on extensively. AFAIK from 5 years of growing beef, most of it is finished with corn. Don't know if chicken, pork, eggs are naturally high in LA or if beef is naturally low. Curious as to why chronic inflammation, excessive calorie consumption, lack of movement, and high stress are not accounted for.

That is Bizarre. I was literally five minutes ago thinking to ask the carnivore community here... "Hey guys do you know the main reasons why Saladino went animal based from strict carnivore? Been on the carnivore diet the last 2.5 years... I do waver between animal based and probably less strict because I have consistently have had coffee. But I am feeling like I am uncertain if all is working fine and wanna understand how to find my sweet spot."

Cars are only regulated because they are registered, which means when you register them, you give up ownership of your car to the government and specifically to the DMV. That's why they can issue you traffic tickets.

It's a similar situation with currency. Fiat is owned by the State, but Bitcoin isindependent.

Correct your status. Exit the system.

I actually saw a Cardiac surgeon on YouTube say that most people really don't have to worry about blood cholesterol levels from things like eggs. It was a short, but I got the impression that he'd say we are over treating and blaming it in most cases.

Why are all the Java programs so fragile?

Which image do you like better?

No, i havent. Carnivore was complex to try and implement. Does not rlly fit in with my current lifestyle

I expected 100K to not feel that amazing since it's been edging us for so long

I was wrong, it feels fucking amazing

Crazy. I do think, and only based off personal experience and opinion, that carbs are good to have for most people, if you can regulate intake and focus only on high quality carbs. I always workout better when ive had some in the day.

I'm done with the carnivore diet. 🐄

I defeated carb addiction, and boosted my testosterone with lifestyle changes, in 5 months.

Long read:

I'm currently 5 months into a cut, working on reducing body fat. Before that, I ate a carnivore diet for 5 years, paleo/keto since 2011.

I agreed to add 60g of carbs pre-workout at the start of my cut, per my trainer. Also 1g protein/lb body weight, with fat for the remaining calories.

Carb addiction is something I battled my entire life. Moderation was impossible for me - the cravings were the worst! Keto and carnivore diets can be lifesaving for people with this issue.

That said, I still couldn't lose stubborn body fat, so I was willing to make changes.

The cut was going great initially, but my energy levels dropped off a couple months in. I felt like a zombie. I knew at some point it could happen, and I know hormones are impacted by a cut.

I had blood work done pre-cut, and my total testosterone was 575ng/dL. Normal for a mid-40s man, and I always felt great & healthy. No complaints!

10 weeks later: total T dropped to 205 ng/dL. 😲

My body was telling me something needed to change.

For the first time in nearly 15 years, I switched to a high carb diet. I started eating 165g carbs per day, timed around pre & post workout meals.

My weight skyrocketed ~10lbs, even with only 1885 calories/day. Most of that was likely water weight, but my workouts at the gym started progressing at crazy levels, likely because of increased muscle growth.

Even so, it felt bad seeing that scale number shoot up when I'm trying to *lose* weight. I rolled with it, understanding that body recomposition can take many months.

By the end of November I felt incredible. Energy through the roof, huge mood improvements, etc. The carbs were working! So I decided to get more blood work done. The results?

Total testosterone jumped to 1005 ng/dL. Free testosterone 205.2 pg/mL. 🤯

This...WAS a surprise, to say the least. WOW!

My long break from carbs helped overcome the addiction and cravings. For the first time I can moderate these foods with ease. This is the biggest win so far, and I've had a lot of W's recently.

My perfect diet down the road (post-cut), will still be heavy on beef, but also foods like fruit & honey. Never processed garbage.

It took a long time to fix this issue, but it's real growth to be able to have a healthy relationship with carbs. I still have a ways to reach my current goal, and lots of building to do after that, but I thought I'd share this interesting development.

Can't say I expected my total T to drop 50%, and then nearly 5x within a few months, like it was the #Bitcoin price chart. 😂

(FYI: all blood work took place early AM in a fasting state)

90% of the "food" in your supermarket is JUNK.

His YT channel is fantastic, you'll love it. He's extremely toxic which I love lol

A weakness I've found in myself recently, as a correlation to my bitcoin-fostered frugality:

The temptation to make sub-optimal, short-term-pleasure-oriented decisions is much greater when said action is FREE, versus when it costs money. Sounds obvious I know, but hear out my elaboration.

A perfect example of this is the availability of carbs while on the #CarnivoreDiet.

It is SO easy, to the point of being automatic, for me to turn down carbs when I have to BUY them, no matter how cheap they are.

But when they are available for free, the temptation instantly becomes 5x greater. I have that inner value-seeker inside of me saying "Look at this amazing deal! It's FREE!!!" Just earlier today some friends in my hostel ordered a giant cheese pizza and offered me a couple slices. NGL it was painful to say no since I'm fasting right now and it looked so, so good. I saw the box just sitting there on the free shelf for 2 hours afterward and it made it significantly harder to focus on my work 🤣

...But there's literally a pizza place 2 buildings down from me where I could get all the pizza I wanted for just a couple bucks, and I have ZERO temptation to do that because of the MINISCULE amount of financial resistance between me and that vice.

Has anyone else noticed this same goofy mental trait in themselves, where their inner value-seeker creates an irrationally-large temptation difference when a high-time-preference indulgence is free as opposed to dirt cheap? #AskNostr

You can basically do covenants by creating pre-signed transactions and throwing the private key away. To my knowledge no wallet has any UI for it and no service advertises that they do anything like this.

Which raises the question, if covenants are so useful, why don't people do what I've described?

Socks are the biggest difference. Currently wearing alpaca :)
