I love food and I love a variety of food but that might need to change Last few weeks I have developed an intolerance to what seems to be a lot of food. I do have IBS and have had issues in the past but these recent flare ups are causing a lot of pain. Stomach cramps and bloating. Not good The one thing to premise is that the one thing that definitely is okay on the gut is meat. I’m not keen on just eating meat but I’m not sure what choice I have certainly for the short term which is to stay on a carnivore diet and then after a month start to reintroduce certain foods I have a hunch it might mean that I have to stick to low FODMAP foods due to the bloating Also I did get a stool test and everything is fine so I do not know what is up. Is it an autoimmune issue? Anyone have any similar symptoms? @Leo Gura I know you’ve had auto immune issues any thoughts on this Thanks

@Leo Gura How are you managing with your SIBO?

This is a rough meal plan I’m thinking about. It’s not pure carnivore as I’m concerned about the nutritional value of meat only Morning: Blueberries Strawberries Lunch: Boiled eggs x4-5 Or Cooked chicken Or Salmon Or Soup Evening: Butter Salt Beef Carrot Spinach Drink: Ginger Cinnamon Peppermint

@NoN-RaTiOnAL I hope that works for me. I’m going to be very strict with food. I don’t have a choice. It’s starting to affect my life

@Michael569 I may have developed a sudden lactose intolerance but it’s not just that where it triggers I’ve self diagnosed for IBS. Not sure if there is a way to diagnosis it formally. I’ve had gut issues going back a long time but they’ve got way worse in the last 5 or so years I don’t get constipated and rarely get diarrhoea it’s more bloating that is the main issue and then with that comes the stomach pain. This is why I think it might be high FODMAP that triggers it Yes there definitely certain foods that I’m more sensitive to such as Greek yoghurt, broccoli. I had some coleslaw recently that seemed to trigger it. It’s early days though so I’m not so sure aside from meat blueberries, banana, carrots seem okay

@Leo Gura Thanks. I’m hoping that it’s not SIBO and it’s just an autoimmune reaction of some kind but seems pretty bad. I’ll get it checked

@The Renaissance Man I have a mate who knows a mate that has some wicked charisma and confidence so I’m hoping fate will create the conditions for friendship Another way is to become friends with people who are older than you. They will likely have more wisdom

@Javfly33 Ask to do some work experience in another dept as part of your professional development

I believe there are three key dimensions to attraction: personality, physicality and availability (I.e. being less available) I believe the first two make up authentic attraction where there is a synergy (a universal match between two people) and both can be developed to reach the fullest potential e.g. personality wise is being your most authentic self and physicality is good diet and exercise so your body is in the best shape But the attraction of availability is different. It’s a kind of inauthentic attraction because it’s not based on a synergy but approval seeking. Often this third aspect can override the other two if you are that desperate for approval, which leads to chasing emotionally unavailable people that are not right for you. It’s not a surprise that younger men and women have this issue to a greater degree. I think it’s important to watch out for this in yourself and other people that you’re dating as I am doing. Are you becoming attracted to this person because there’s a genuine synergy or are you getting taken over by desiring their approval once they become unavailable? It’s a mark of how mature you are A lot of these toxic dating gurus are basically teaching you to be more attractive from the third dimension of availability (gaming women) which I see as a reflection of how the population has generally pretty poor levels of self esteem. We all ultimately want connection but we’re too busy seeking validation and approval

@Butters Treat women with respect and like goddesses Yes in sex you want to fuck her brains out. I agree be honest about your sexual desire in a loving way. I’m working on being more direct and honest about that

@Buck Edwards The masculine desires freedom grounded in consciousness

@cjoseph90 I’ve never been in a relationship with a woman I met over dating apps and neither has anyone else I know. They’re bullshit A person will value a 10 minute face to face interaction with you 100x more than a random dating app match

I really like the blog. I think your analysis politically is spot on and it’s good for showing interesting stuff I haven’t thought about Would be cool to see a video update. You haven’t done that in awhile

@Atb210201 very true

@enchanted I find its recommendations as there are so many. Leo mentioned this guy called David Deida and so I bought his book the way of the superior man. Very good. This forum is a good source

@Thought Art I’m more interested in the one Leo is working on for his next course I have actually figured out a few things recently and feel more aligned. Just have to wait until the new year to be fully back on track

This sounds like a call to get Leo’s life purpose course as I feel like I’m not quite hitting that feeling of being in alignment and connection with my life purpose Saying this I know I am doing exactly all I can do at this moment in time in regards to my career, business and personal life. It’s not like I’m sitting on my ass. I’m really pushing it actually in terms of radical changes but I don’t feel aligned Is this because I should be identifying with the awakening side and the journey? Rather than think about this at the surface level of career/business I should be connecting with the deeper spiritual purpose? I’ve always felt I’ve wanted to change the world for the better and again I’m doing all I can on the path to that. I’m just impatient It feels like impatience is my biggest enemy in connecting with my life purpose

@Alex4 As I mentioned your financial status is a secondary consideration. Raw attraction is emotional synergy I didn’t say that women will be attracted to guys with resources only that it is a consideration. Women have a lot of choice! They want to know you’ve got your house in order financially even if you’re super attractive

I’m not saying this is always the case but typically I’ve noticed how women are driven by money out of survival and men are driven by money out of social status It’s like how in a relationship women tend to be the one that budgets for the household because men don’t really worry about survival so much because men are inherently more geared up for survival than women. It’s only from a social status standpoint that men will worry more about money as men still have that pressure of being the breadwinner and having more resources than the woman

It’s hard brother but don’t give up completely on your passions. Do the practical stuff but keep the flame alive

@Alex4 in terms of dating and relationships you are right to a degree. A synergy between personality and physicality is the key to attraction but women do consider a man’s resources too in the same way they do your age or height in relation to her. It won’t come into attraction so much though so it’s a secondary consideration

@Lyubov That sounds more like a full time freelance job than a side hustle. Good on you though. Sounds a great thing

@Nemra LinkedIn is very good if you want to get recognised by recruiters. Having a professional profile pays dividends. Connect with recruiters and the people you work with You need the right set of the people to take your career in the direction you want

@Butters I can never be bothered with these side hustle money schemes Just focus on getting a better job or developing a business to earn more income. You can start to make the side income when you have enough capital to own property

@Buck Edwards We’re all inadequate at something. We all have insecurities. It’s what makes you human How you deal with it is by allowing yourself to feel however you feel in any given moment giving the emotion space to emerge. We suppress emotions that we see as a threat so letting them out tells the body and mind there’s nothing to be afraid of An insight I had on mushrooms was that you’re never afraid of a situation you’re only afraid of a feeling so just feel as deeply as you can. Get better at opening up in those tough situations. Get better at feeling into your body You'll get there
