That part is potentially true. People need to eat more nutrient dense, whole-foods in general.

That would likely just make things way too complicated and create unnessary drama. The forum should not become a distraction.

If you're going to do serious cold approach, yes. What most men can or can't do is irrelevant. It's about whether you personally can pull it off. If you're a DPT, you should be fine. You can get a nice apartment with your salary. I lived here for about 1800-2k a month: https://livealeamiami.com/ You can, but the suburbs also just make everything more inconvenient. The more convenient you can make things, typically the better.

And how much fiber do you need for longevity?

Don't do it!!!

I agree. I eat some fiber.

Still true. I don't recommend protein powders for the most part. They have their own problems. You don't need more fiber than protein. Your priorities are backwards.

103.3g of fiber and 96.9g of protein??? Bruh

People in general are not over upregulating IGF-1 because they're eating high quality protein. If anything, most modern people are under-consuming protein. They're just eating processed garbage and carbs. Too many empty calories, too little nutrient density. Exceptions of course apply.

There's a practical distinction here worth making. Fats, proteins and most carbs your main digestive system breaks down. Fiber, you do not. It's fermented by gut bacteria in the large intestine. You could live a very long time without fiber, or even carbohydrates at all. Carbohydrates are somewhat optional. Not true for fat and protein. Most essential list: fat / protein > digestible carbohydrates > fiber

The NAL is using a quirky definition of macronutrient here. Fiber is literally a carbohydrate humans cannot digest. It's for your gut bacteria. Fiber is good, but you certainly don't need as much as you need protein, fat or digestible carbs.

You stated that EAAs in animal protein are more detrimental than good. Sunlight is likely more essential than fiber.

It doesn't stop

This is false. Fiber is not even a macronutrient. Some fiber is fine, especially if you're looking to lose weight. But it's not that essential. And yes, sometimes you WANT to up regulate mTOR. That's anabolism. You cannot just be in a catabolic state all the time.

I’m talking about very average clubs and bars, with average ratios of men to women though. Yes, having more men than women will likely make things worse. But women also by default tend to be more ambiguous towards hook ups until they meet the right guy. So even in an ordinary environment with a decent ratio, you can still have this challenge. To avoid encouraging a male-pity party, these situations are actually wildly advantageous if you’re able to handle them well. Almost nothing will cement her attraction for you like “winning” one of these social scuffles.

Like a social skirmish over the girl.

I'd say the majority of times I've pulled a woman from a bar / club, I've had to punk at least one other guy. So it's not even just whether or not she likes you. It's other men you have to deal with half the time.

Great picks! Best of luck.

Alcohol is trap. If you're young and have never experienced it, I understand wanting to try it. I definitely did some drinking when I was younger. But ultimately I found it much better to just give it up. If you're going out a lot to expensive nightclubs, the $$$ for drinks adds up quick. It's horrible for your health. And while it does loosen you up, it also makes you sloppy. What you want is looseness + clarity. Which you can only get without alcohol. You can build your state while you're out so much that you wouldn't even think of buying alcohol. You will feel way better without it. And you'll be having such a good time that other people won't even believe you if you tell them you're not drinking.

Omg, my ex-girlfriend fell into all this filler / botox / plastic surgery bullshit. She would spend so much time scrolling Instagram, looking at other women and plotting out her next cosmetic move. The whole situation is just sad.

You're already eating meat, so you're likely not at risk. This is for vegans. We're also not just talking about chicken vs lamb, we're talking 10-20% of your entire diet.

Are there specific beliefs or teachings you found problematic? Or was it just the hierarchical structure itself that was the problem?

I don't know about that. If it is as high as 20%, that's pretty significant. That's like one meal for most vegans. If you're a vegan, you should know about this. Vegan foods tend to be high in fiber and volume, which means you can easily under-eat. Plus, you probably want higher than 100g. 100g is pretty low for most people.

Hard to say exactly. Most sources seem to suggest about 10-20%. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0924224421006774?via%3Dihub https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/13/2870 https://www.fao.org/ag/humannutrition/35978-02317b979a686a57aa4593304ffc17f06.pdf

If you're doing vegan, you want to account for lower protein bioavailability.
