This is from Leo POV how an e-scooter ride looks like.

Cheers. Btw, I just bought this two-layer steaming pot. It makes steaming large and diverse quantities of vegetables even easier. If you have the clockieren, you can even put it at the base and boom -- three-layer steaming. It's handy, for instance, for broccoli, where you wanna steam the stalk much longer than the florets.

@LoneWonderer, can you pls share the nutritional contents of the low-sodium salt you're using? PS: Nutritional Yeast is yet another alternative for flavoring food.

I've been tracking all my food intake with a food scale and the Cronometer app, for the last two weeks. It's been a great experience to get a deeper intuition not only on macro but also micronutrients, especially if you're into optimizing food ratios (e.g., Carbs:Fat, Omega 3:Omega 6, etc.). I'll share my Cronometer report below so you can see how it looks. Cronometer.pdf PS: I did not include the mineral and vitamin supplements I use in there, just protein supplements. But Cronometer has that option too. You can scan the label and if it's already registered it's even easier to log the food.

I'm also curious to see if those types of devices actually work to increase HRV. In the meantime, I bought a new Garmin watch (my current one is quite old, no HRV) to track it. I guess first it's interesting to keep track of measurements for a while (as a baseline) before trying out the intervention. And the intervention can be what @Yimpa very sensibly suggested above, i.e.

Great video!

Every day I take my food container full of cooked lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, and other veggies. I take it with me, leaving it off the fridge for about 6 hours until I eat it later in the day. In my case I package these containers right after cooking, so they should be mostly void of microbes. The case would be different for the type of food. E.g., yogurt would probably be quite bad by then. PS: If you are unsure whether something is rotten, your senses can give you a hint. Does it smell bad? Does it taste bad? Does it look bad? Nature has made us with most tools required to filter out non-nutritive or poisonous food.

Quoting GPT: it’s still classified as a processed meat, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meats like sausages, ham, and bacon as Group 1 carcinogens—meaning there’s strong evidence they can cause cancer, especially colorectal cancer. So while fewer additives is better, the process of curing, smoking, or preserving meat is what makes it risky, regardless of how “clean” the label looks. Yes, I agree. I meant more as a general rule. One would have to clean their taste by eliminating junk before using it. And even then it would be more a rule of thumb with non-complete overlap.

The irony of the video is using raw veggies while adding heavily processed foods like sausage, full of preservative like nitrites. Shaking the perspective a bit, shouldn't we instead ask: what are there benefits to cooking? 1,500,000+ animal species in nature eat only raw food; 1 eats cooked food. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and many other cooking toxins are well-documented in the literature. @cistanche_enjoyer brings up relevant points about anti-nutrients and nutrient availability. One con of breaking down fiber by cooking is increasing the glycemix index of food (not a problem for veggies having a low caloric density, of course). Also, by cooking fiber, we make it less available to our gut microbiome. It's a balance. Only eating cooked food is more likely to starve the healthy bacteria in our gut, which is already in fragile circumstances for the average person. The cooking method as well as the food you cook matter. Avoid high temperatures, especially combined with dry heating methods, that will tend to form the highest concentration of AGEs (especially for food high in fat and protein, like meat). Prefer cooking methods that preserve nutrient content like steaming when possible. And, when possible (for the right foods), eat raw. The idea of eating raw food is not to try to eat anything raw, but to favor the foods that we evolved to eat: the ones we find naturally tasty: fruits, some veggies, nuts. Not all veggies are tasty and the fact that our body notices that is a hint that perhaps it should not be our main source of nutrients.

Let's brainstorm on the essence, the most foundational and abstract aspects of feminine and masculine energy. What are the major distinctions that better define these two concepts? To start, here is a board I found in my old notes. What would you add or modify?

Coming late to the party, but let me share some quotes that I have in my personal notes that I think apply to women too: Be who you want to attract. (values and actions) Attraction is not a choice. Positive and fun vibes. People tend to project their attraction level onto the other person. (self-deception)

Indeed; walking also helps to decrease the glucose peak. Other than that I would suggest to be mindful of the process such that the next time you are slightly more able to catch yourself doing it.

From a natural hygiene perspective, adding salt will always be unhealthy (the best salt = no salt), as well as other additives such as oil and sugar. Reasons: Added salt causes a mineral disbalance. We evolved eating whole foods as they are found in nature, with their original mineral distribution. By adding loads of salt to our food today we're very far from that. Too much sodium prompts the body to excrete it, increasing excretion of other minerals like potassium, calcium, and potentially magnesium. Whole foods already have the amount of sodium required for our healthy functioning. Salt adds hyperpalatability to foods, making it harder for our natural control mechanisms to know when to stop. Salt addition will make you more likely to search for processed foods. Salt contains loads of microplastics (since it comes from the sea). This said, please be cautious should you with to completely remove salt from your diet. I've done it personally and it was one of the best things I did. Now my paladar is so much cleaner, allowing me to savor vegetables in their raw, natural form such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots. It is a tough path though, for the first weeks. If you'd still wish to proceed you can look at @Princess Arabia said above as well as Potassium Chloride, as a replacement or complement to Sodium Chloride.

This is fucking awesome! Thanks for such an inpiring art @StyxNStone

I think the idea is to prevent prolonged sitting, reduced circulation, etc. PS: @integral, the quadfather Tom Platz salutes your endeavor.

I think it's more likely to be healthy rather than dangerous, when compared to just sitting. "Exercise snacks" has gained increased attention in scientific research, recently: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666337624000283

Nice, happy steaming! Yes. I have a Magimix (food processor only, w/o heating) and it makes it so much easier to prepare dressings using natural ingredients. Also, natural, homemade ice-cream.

I got this KLOCKREN from IKEA and it works great. I use it together with a 5L stainless steel pot. You can do a week long of steamed vegetables with it. If you want a single machine doing many things you can also look at Magimix and Thermomix. Both got steamers AFAIA.

I'm talking to a really hot girl but her dating profile says "Atheist". What to do?

Fair. Haha I decided to post it because I found it an interesting thought experiment; also wanted to hear your opinions. Seeing the word "atheist" ringged a bell. It gives off the vibes of someone who's too certain of their own beliefs - perhaps less likely to be open-minded. Could just be my personal projection too. Anyway, it wouldn't prevent me from meeting up with those kinds of people, so it's not really a "problem".

Great advice! You mean a non-psychedelic trip, right? Fair. I just happen to keep the dating apps on for the extra coverage. But regularly I do "daygame" - whenever I see someone I'm attracted to I go talk to that person.

There is also the book from Dr. Alan Goldhammer "Can Fasting Save Your Life?". It's more geared towards metabolic syndrome, but there you can find relevant information such as how to calculate fat loss and the most crucial parts of fasting. For long fasts, it's recommendable that you do in an experienced institution, if possible. Another thing to consider is a raw food diet. There is evidence of toxins that accumulate significantly in fried and baked foods (but much less in boiled or steamed foods) being present in higher concentration in tumor areas. Of course, correlation is not causation, but something to consider.
