  1. I don't wanna hijack OP's post with a long answer but with eggs, there are is things as too much of a good thing.
  2. If you only knew the amount of impact you've had on people's lives......through the forum, the videos, the course, the book list. I've been around since June 2016 and it has been my fav place to go for years.
  3. I wouldn't worry too much about the particular number but it is a good idea to include a portion of protein source with each of your main meals. On a plant-based diet, this could be something like a cup of cooked beans/lentils.chickpeas, 200g of tofu, tempeh, a bunch of nuts or similar. If you eat eggs, 2 eggs would also count in a portion but I wouldn't consume more than 2 boiled eggs per day. Rather than looking at numbers, check with your body how it feels. If you feel tired, lose hair, have poor overall hair/nails/skin quality and have unstable mood it may be you have protein deficiency. Otherwise, if you feel alright with good quality of hair and strong nails you are likely getting enough. Hope that helps
  4. Have you been diagnosed with insulin resistance? What's your a1c? No, long term fasting is not a good idea if you have blood sugar regulation problem. Diet needs to br adjusted first. Exercise is also brilliant for IS as it forces the cells to open up for glucose through an alternative pathway not dependent on insulin.
  5. Do you have a low blood pressure? Do you get dizzy when you stand up fast? Do you know your blood pressure? And your resting heart rate? That would be one explanation, the other that the thyroid struggles to keep your metabolism ignited enough. I recall you had very low vitamin D that may be contributing perhaps other nutrients like selenium, iodine, iron are low as well. What does your diet look like? For an emergency lay down and raise your legs up to allow better blood flow to brain. Make sure to stay well hydrated
  6. @Preety_India i think most ppl are aware that whatever they post on net stays there even after it is deleted and that these photos can be seen by tens of thousands of people who browse the forum without having accounts. It comes down to: dont want to show - dont post it
  7. weel since everyone's been adding their faces....
  8. @acidgoofy wow dude you're not a middle-aged beardy man? Didn't expect Colin Firth lookalike
  9. I don't know too much about it at the moment but it seems to be more gentle but then we hardly know 1% of what all these things do. If it is pure herbal extract it will definitely better than something that was manufactured in a lab such as aspartame possibly made from petroleum. But then using stevia does not solve the bigger question which is "why do we feel the need to constantly sweeten stuff"? @Eren Eeagerin what form?
  10. While it is none of my concern you should be aware that damage of toxic chemicals goes way way beyond just caloric limit. Sweeteners have been found to cause significant metabolic disruptions on the level of glucose metabolism and on the level of microbiome health. Just something to think about as physical appearance is just the cherry on the icing where the cake is the rest of the body's biochemistry.
  11. sometimes I think you are just taking piss and observing how everybody else reacts
  12. Be careful with absolutising what you don't know enough about. Just because we don't know exactly at the moment does not mean it is bs. There are all sorts of small studies popping up now but they don't have enough punching power to make any significant claim....YET
  13. Bro there is no harm in getting a short term prescription to get your shit back in the right place. Take some sleeping pills for a week. Get your energy back then start working on your health properly. Hire a naturopath or a functional doctor, actually invest some money and get to the bottom of this. Call your doctor and schedule an appointment. Don't do anything stupid !! Insomnia is totally curable.
  14. Can you envision yourself being in your 60s and completely alone? Your parents will be dead and your siblings living their own lives as well as all your mates. If that thought sits just right with you then relationships are not for you. For most people having other people that you can share this wonderful experience called life makes it worth it. It is not about them fulfilling your needs and deficiencies in a sort of neurotic way that you see in most relationship. It goes deeper than that. If you have never been in truly fulfilling and mutually growing relationship you wouldn't understand what I am talking about.
  15. cool stuff! Enjoy this blissful experience and don't try to analyze it too much. Get your mind out of the way and bath in the blissful cleansing that your body is now undertaking. Whatever comes up is what should be
  16. It can definitely help if you have blockages in your throat chakra or if you hold in a lot of stress but it will probably come back unless the underlying cause has been eliminated. It may also be associated with denial of emotional expression such as denying yourself laugh, hate, yell and other forms of verbal expression. You may try some of Joe Dispenza's chakra meditations or just conscious body scanning & release of tension. Start by deliberately tensing all muscles of your jaw, neck and lower face and then release just so that you know what it should feel like. Perhaps some face gymnastics may help as well. There are some exercises as well such as lying belly down on bed and letting your head & neck hang of the edge. Good luck!
  17. I like to use one occasionally, it's a nice investment. You can diffuse essential oil throughout the night to help you sleep better. DOesn't have to be large, a small device to put on your bedside table is enough and they have a timer that switches them off after couple hours.
  18. You would have to assume that the person is on raw vegan diet for the rest of the week thou which they won't be Most people who regularly (once a week is regularly) eat at Mcdonalds will already have a lot of other fried meat, dairy, fried eggs and probably lack of fibre in the diet. All of this combined is a recipe for colon cancer in your mid 40s.
  19. Yes absolutely! All the time. But it is a different kind of anxiety. In my world, it is partially fear of failure, partially fear of being an imposter and partially a fear of not being good enough. Maybe few bits and pieces of other things as well but yah once you really care about something you may often feel anxious before you ship your product.
  20. Describe your symptoms and ask if you could have some blood tests done. Usually, they will also run the liver & kidney panel automatically.
  21. Yeah it's definitely possible. High growth factor content stimulates your skin cell to multiply more rapidly + dairy is proinflammatory + you may actually be intollerant to it. Many people lose the ability to digest dairy over time which is why problems often develop that were not there say 10 yrs ago. This is very individual thou. Finally dairy is extreme insulin stimulant which multiplies the effects of growth factors because they bind to same receptors ?‍♂️ None of these effects go away even if you buy the most organic milk because this is tied to the chemistry of the milk and the biological intention to help baby cows grow fast. Organic is just free from antibiotics
  22. Hey there and welcome to the forum! This is a powerful realisation. I've had one such couple years back. Make sure to stay openminded to the unorthodox solution and listen to your intuition, perhaps deep down you already have all the answers and only need to tune in Anyways, I hope you'll find the answers you are looking for
  23. cut that macho shit out and open your eyes...
  24. Seems like your life is missing a deeper purpose. What's your greatest vision for your life? What are you going to do? Why are you here? How are you going to help humanity, the animals, the planet? Do you have a dream that makes you cry when you think about it?.....Out of fear (because you don't know how you're ever going to achieve it) & out of joy (because it is so grandiose) at the same time? Or do you waste your time trying to persuade everybody that life is shit and that it is pointless because everything is one and nothing makes sense? Be careful not to fall into zen devilry with this sort of mindset. Find your greatest passion in life and channel all this unused energy into that. Don't rest until you have found it.
  25. Its a bidirectional relationship and one can be caused without the presence of the other. Not every woman with imbalanced hormones becomes obese and not every obese women has to have imbalanced in hormones. Obesity is multifactorial and often caused by at least 50 other factors. But you seem to be getting on the right track. You may consider experimenting with myo-inositol & Agnus Castus (Chasetberry). Definitely bulk up your fibre intake to at least 60g per day to help you remove your oestrogen metabolites and cruciferous (brassica) vegetables every day for oestrogen balance. Also not sure what sorts of tests have you had but possibly requesting something like HbA1C (long term blood sugar balance) could give you some indicators. Additionally, although this is not cheap, Dutch Testing can reveal some insanely useful information for women about their endocrine panel. Good luck!
