Simple, sharable steps to adopt a Proper Human Diet

1. Eliminate anything containing added sugar from your diet.

This sugar provides no benefit to your body and leads to high blood sugar, high insulin levels & chronic inflammation. This includes fruit juices which in many cases contain more sugar than a Coke.

2. Eliminate all grains & legumes from your diet. Wheat, rice, oats, corn, soybeans, etc. These have very little in the way of meaningful nutrition and contain 2 things to avoid; i. starch-long chains of sugar that break down into sugar in your body & ii. gluten-like inflammatory proteins that lead to chronic inflammation.

3. Eliminate seed oils from your diet. Canola, soybean, corn, peanut, sunflower, safflower, etc. These oils are new to the human diet and contain too much Omega-6 fatty acids that research has shown to lead to chronic inflammation in some people.

*** These 1st 3 steps will remove 100% of ultra-processed food from your diet and will give immediate results (in weeks) for 80% of people.

4. Make sure each meal contains meat, seafood or eggs. These foods were eaten by your ancestors for millions of years and are very nutrient-dense. Although many main-stream sources claim that these foods are inflammatory, we've seen bloodwork from 10,000's of people whose inflammatory markers go down on meat.

Carbohydrate Knob theory: Some people can tolerated more carbs than others. People who fatten easily or develop diabetes easily need to turn down their carb intake knob closer to zero. Young, active people can tolerate more natural carbs in their diet. Remember, there is no Need for carbs in the diet. As you turn down the Carb Intake Knob more & more you will be eating more meat, eggs & seafood...

Snacking: Snacking is never healthy, regardless of the snack. Eat discrete meals during the day separated by periods of not eating. Eating due to boredom or stress is never a healthy choice.

Plant Toxins: All plants use chemical defense chemicals to protect their parts, this is inarguable. Some plants are more toxic than others. Some people can tolerate these toxins more than others. Anyone suffering from inflammatory or auto-immune disease should try 90 days of Carnivore to see if they are reacting to the plant chemicals.

DAIRY: All mammals (you) can tolerate dairy as an infant. At about age 4-8 years most people (70% +/-) become lactose intolerant. That is not the only problem with dairy. Many people also become sensitive to the Caseins & Wheys in milk. This manifests in inflammatory conditions of the skin, joints, gut, mental... Dairy also contains caso-morphins that mimic morphine in the brain and can make dairy addictive to some people. This is good for keeping babies interested in mother's milk, but can cause adults to over eat/drink dairy for the good feeling. Some cheeses actually concentrate the caso-morphin content...

OK, that a good beginner course, I will answer every good question you ask here...

Thank you for the post. Opinion on fruit? Of course it contains sugar, but then you only specifically mentioned fruit juice in “this includes”. Where would one get the valuable phytonutrients available in blueberries for example. At least, we’ve been told they’re valuable.

They’re still pushing this scam, and people are still falling for it? Yikes.

Well yes, but much can be done without Congress. Like clamping down on the border, removing regulations, stopping making additional, arbitrary, illegal regulations that inhibit free speech, and directing agencies to stop inhibiting freedom of commerce including Bitcoin on ramps and off ramps. Many of those are things he did in his first term that were subsequently undone by Biden-Harris. And there’s much more that he’d be incented to do, like firing buttloads of useless people and those who have weaponized the government against innocent Americans who are expressing their opinions. Oh, and pardoning Ross, and maybe Julian. Everything typed above is anathema to Biden, Harris, Obama, Soros. Trump will slow down the destruction being wrought every day since January 2020.

Trump is a speed bump for the authoritarian state. Harris is jet fuel for it. Trump’s agenda will not eliminate the onrushing wave of Marxism, but it should give people a little more time to get sovereignty defenses in order, including Bitcoin becoming more entrenched in the economy.

They are not the same.

If you find yourself getting an urge to book a flight on Frontier Airlines, you might want to take stock of your life and the choices you’ve made to arrive at that place.

Then you should probably punch yourself in the face until the urge goes away.

Thanks. I guess I need to do some reading, but does the device support apps, or is everything web based? If apps - where are they located / accessed? If web - do you support other browsers or just have your own that is highly secure and private? How much if any of this is open source? Thanks, if that is all answered on your website, just let me know and I’ll get reading on my own.

Apparently in fiat world there was something called the “Video Music Awards” (VMA) last night. LOL, not in this lifetime. Self congratulatory Hollywood / celebrity co-slobbering and pretending everything’s fine.

Well I don't know how I found you nostr:npub1a00wj229auzjswlq4s77y4u8eqdx5k9ppatgl8rtv8va65f6mwksum9q3h but it was somewhere here on #nostr (saw a #zap of yours I think) but it was good advertising that ended up driving me to your site. I'll be purchasing one of your computers here shortly (and probably one for my wife too!)

Thank you for building something the world needs!

And you’re how I found them, thanks. I’m going to check them out, the idea is compelling.

I used the last hour or so to upgrade my Raspberry Pi based Umbrel server to 1.0 and make sure the Bitcoin node is back to sync. Next project is to install a Nostr relay. Why, was there something something else going on tonight?

Ulcer inducing. I’ll read some breakdowns afterward, watch a few clips.

Self custody isn’t hard. Assuring that your non-technical heirs can access what you have saved, and it’s divided according to your wishes, and it’s not lost due to technical mishap, while protecting against theft of seed phrases and five dollar wrench attacks, actually is somewhat hard.

All respect to those who choose to make a clean break with other social media. I get it. For me, I see Nostr and X the same as I see Bitcoin and the dollar. Both are necessary, for a time.

I’ll be more advanced and healthier when I no longer think that.

Consider the possibility that advocating for the USD as MoE is a tactic to lessen antagonism by the Federal Govt and Federal Reserve. Also that there’s a sense of realism that this will continue to be necessary for a while, but that he does realize on a longer horizon this changes. At least this is how I have interpreted his position.
