@Light Lover The purpose of the lentils is to have carbs at night (it helps me sleeper better, because I have/had blood sugar problems) but a low insulin producing kind. Which I find is most tasty and easy to eat from all the beans. Controlling blood glucose level + Minimizing insulin secretation alone will show tons of noticeable benefits. Healing/optimatizing digestive system too. This is priority in my opinion.

@who chit Thanks! That helps a lot

@Leo Gura TM or Kirya??? I have done TM for 3 years and there is still a lot I can gain. I don’t feel that they are too cult-y from my experience. Whenever I see them, it’s all about how to improve the meditation experience. I brought your book list and got the Kriya Yoga book. I’m wondering if I should just drop TM and work on Kriya on my own or stick with TM and utilize the support offered by them. Or maybe continue to grow with TM until I reach plateau and switch to Kriya (Are the benefits transferable? I notice similarities in the practices). I highly value your wisdom and hoping for some insight. Thanks.

@Light Lover do you have any health goals? Or anything you want to improve? energy? Acne? Heres sample of my diet. It’s a little extreme. I tweaked this over the years and continue to do so. You don’t have to copy me but wanted to show a very unqiue diet. Very functional incorporating health and fun as possible. Make most sense for me with my busy life. First meal at 1-2pm high fat/protein - in drink form olive oil, chia seed, collagen protein, stavia blended with green tea 4-5pm Whatever choice of meat/fish and avocado 8pm whatever choice of meat/fish + lentils From what I have looked into plus tested on myself, I think breakfast isn’t important. And night time meal are more beneficial with sleep and hormonal. But having food in our system from morning to night is bad because our system is constantly processing food and could use more time to repair. I was fasting when I was eating from 12-8pm. I took it out for now. Still playing with fasting. I also have a cheat day once a week. Which I want to extend to once every 1.5-2 weeks just because the food I consume on this day is so bad however, some combo of what I’m doing is causing minimal damage. (Because I use to eat much less bad food and react really bad to it, now reactions to cheat days are almost non existent - watching me eat on this day is sickening - I still have the fat kid in me) I’m at my skinniest and healthiest point in my life, coming from lots of digestive issues, allergies to sugar, milk. All gone now. My health still needs work but I’m getting there. What are trying to do health and lifestyle? I will try to make some suggestion.

Check out Body By Science by Doug McGuff. Gives interesting view on why consistent exercise without proper recovery - can be bad long term because of wear and tear. The best way to lose fat is keep insulin at minimum. Excercise is a factor to helps with this. Diet has biggest effects.

Those dreams are interesting. I wonder what’s it’s telling you about that job. Maybe you weren’t suppose to be there and life helped you along.
