this might be some serious shit, will give it a try, thanks !

Weighing oneself can be quite deceiving because the physical weight does not equal health just as losing weight does not equal becoming healthier. Often it can cause person to become neurotic and angry when they see the reduction stopping or being reversed after which they will think that they are becoming fat. In reality our body can hold on to water for many reasons and that could be mistaken for excess weight. I know I proably did not answer your question but for the optimal testing of whether your diet / workouts are working consider either doing body fat testing or physically measuring your arms, tights, buttocks, waist and chest with a meter every 3 months or so all the best !

What is the headache like? is it dull and constant or more pulsating (faster the heartbeat the more rapid the pulsation? Where is it coming from? (back of the head , top, neck...) Do you have a history of migraines, cluster headaches or anything like that? Do you often have stiff neck? Do you get it at any other times besides workout?

I will put more effort into doing this, thanks ! I do this often but I feel like I am just judging again more often than not.

there are some exercises you can do that involve jaw stretching, neck stretching and focus on muscles of upper neck. Look them up on google. Not sure if that will do anything though haven't tried myself. Generally, fat areas cannot be targeted, it always comes down to body's preference where the stores are depleted first. Depending on your current bodyfat %, you may need to go lower to shed that...or make peace with it.

Fascinating !.... perhaps you are one of those naturally gifted who can just do whatever without consequences. Also genetically people in some regions such as Eastern Europe and Caucasian regions are quite tolerant to dairy since they have been drinking it for thousands of years. Your body needs the minimum of 500ml of water to be able to perform very basic functions. This would be surviving not thriving. 2l would be much closer to the optimum. That being said milk is still mostly water so unless you feel dizzy, nauseous or have a problem with skin and mucosal drying in eyes, tongue, throat etc...you are probably hydrated enough. If it was me drinking that much milk, I would spewing mucous out of every opening in the body and sneezing like crazy being allergic to every single allergen possible but seems for you it works. Just out of curiosity, where did you grow up?

Dairy is far from the best source. It is hardly digestible and most of us are intolerant to it. I've read somewhere that only about 20% of the dairy calcium is actually absorbed. Also as Pluto said above, you need other nutrients especially magnesium, Vit D, phosphorus to balance its function otherwise you'll end up with hypercalcaemia and deposition in all sorts of places. Natural calcium comes as a packaged deal with all minerals and vitamins needed to properly absorb it, milk and supplements don't.

it is a good excuse to judge and criticise while not working on ourselves so beat it....what do you know

Depends on who you listen to. Some raw foodist claim that autoimmunity is an acidosis which is a product of anything that is not raw food. Other claims it is genetical and environmental, homoeopaths put a huge emphasis on the attitude, emotions, tendency to control and manipulate. But generally, the alkaline and anti-inflammatory diet would be the most protective of any disease.

Absolutely! Very blue-ish and rigid tradition although heavily commercialised and materialised just like all festivities, holidays and special days in the year. As an introvert, the thought of being surrounded by people singing "happy birthday" seems as appealing as sticking a penis into a beehive. Here is also the component of getting more material possessions that I don't want or need simply because the "tradition" dictates. Even getting money gives me exactly zero happiness boost. Guess it comes down people appreciating traditions, milestones and quite often wanting a distraction from the boring daily routines. For a materialist, there is nothing more sacred and precious than receiving free stuff.

Brought up in standard blue / orange family in Slovakia. Heavy blue influence from parents of the father (religion + family orientation). At the same time relatively strong Orange influence from father towards career, high academic education, money and achievement. I was under a lot of blue dogma pretty much until teenage years until I started building up a lot of egotistical tendencies, lifting weights, showing interest in girls etc...slowly I was shedding of more and more of blue and getting very heavy into orange until I discovered actualized.org in my 25s which showed me green for the first time. Today I am probably a blend of 40% orange, 50% green, 10% yellow. (wondering it is the orange that is trying to quantify this :D)

London UK Very heavy orange often with hints of red. Tiny bits of blue mostly brought from India and Middle East. Growing green but a lot of it is red/orange wearing green mask to enrich themselves.

tried with at least 10. So far 1 was interested but only in finances and relationship / sex parts but hey...at least something Generally not much, I think this is probably something that people have to look up themselves once they realise they need help, like most of us did, otherwise they can't be bothered to watch these long videos or do stuff like meditation. I have tons of people around me who would benefit massively from the life purpose course, meditation, proper eating etc but man...people can be so stubborn even when you present a most viable solution to their problem...seems to me like most of them don't care about solution, all they need is someone to keep bitching to most of the time. But then, given their situation, education and past brainwashing, It couldn't be any other way.

I think I'm going to add this to my vision board !

not sure, I got the question but basically you want the niche to come from your life purpose, not the other way around. Changing your LP to fit a niche might lead to disassociation with your core values eventually and selling your "soul" for money. Instead, you want to create a niche if it doesn't exist, and if it does, perhaps dig even deeper in it. This is a big challenge, I assume, that most of us are facing who have gone through the course. Of course, in the end, whatever product or service you will be offering, has to be marketable and has to be profitable at least to cover your debts. If you can't see it right now, that's fine, with time and work put into it, stuff will start to come out...if your goals and ambitions don't frighten you, they are not big enough.

https://www.drugs.com/fluoxetine.html The list of side effect is longer than a week before the salary. If you are so out of balance that you cannot function properly, look into it for limited amount of time. At the same time work on cleaning your diet of heavy foods, processed, sweetened, burnt, fried, baked + dairy and add more wholefoods. Start exercising 3-5 times a week and meditate for 20 minutes twice a day. Any mental issues will likely dissipate and you will be able to get of your meds pretty soon. You may also try this without the meds...that would be ideal. Don't look outward for help friend, all you need is within.

Fruit based diet is able to melt away majority of diseases, be it cancerous or autoimmue. The healing potential of fruits is endless. I've tried it for couple weeks only and saw significant improvement in my allergies that are otherwise rampant throughout whole year. Look up Dr Morse, he and his team have been curing people for 40 years with herbs and fruits. Not sure if it is the most sustainable diet over a long term, there are people who thrive on it though. I believe some protein and polyunsaturated fats are necessary for optimal function of every system in the body.

Many of you might have heard this term before in relation to fasting or ketogenic diet. We knew that our bodies have incredible potential to regenerate itself and that pretty much most of our tissues are constantly being regenerated throughout life. This just reinforces the incredible benefits of deliberate fasting. Let's see what does research say: "Autophagy also plays a housekeeping role in removing misfolded or aggregated proteins, clearing damaged organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes, as well as eliminating intracellular pathogens. Thus, autophagy is generally thought of as a survival mechanism, although its deregulation has been linked to non-apoptotic cell death ( meaning cells that don't follow the standard elimination protocol, often triggering tumour formation) . Autophagy can be either non-selective or selective in the removal of specific organelles, ribosomes and protein aggregates, although the mechanisms regulating aspects of selective autophagy are not fully worked out. In addition to elimination of intracellular aggregates and damaged organelles, autophagy promotes cellular senescence and cell surface antigen presentation, protects against genome instability and prevents necrosis, giving it a key role in preventing diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, cardiomyopathy, diabetes, liver disease, autoimmune diseases and infections. " How is it induced? 1. Fasting (see "starvation" bellow) "Autophagy is active at basal levels in most cell types where it is postulated to play a housekeeping role in maintaining the integrity of intracellular organelles and proteins. However, autophagy is strongly induced by starvation and is a key component of the adaptive response of cells and organisms to the nutrient deprivation that promotes survival until nutrients become available again " 2. Hypoxia (low serum oxygen levels) also stimulates autophagy by breaking down faulty cells and allowing other cells to use the residue material for ATP (cellular energy) production. 3. Exercise as well as carb restriction ( means ketosis -> "means fasting or high fat diet) seem to promote it as well based on this article. https://greatist.com/live/autophagy-fasting-exercise Summary Although the process is yet to be fully examined, the data thus far indicate powerfull healing potency, disease prevention, macronutrient recycling (without actually having to eat them) and anti-ageing. "From the perspective of a cancer biologist, it remains controversial whether autophagy is tumour suppressive (through cell cycle arrest, promoting genome and organelle integrity, or through inhibition of necrosis and inflammation) or oncogenic (by promoting cell survival in the face of spontaneous or induced nutrient stress). In other diseases, such as neuropathies (Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases) and ischaemic heart disease, autophagy is more widely accepted as beneficial given its role in eliminating ‘toxic assets’ and promoting cell viability. Thus, autophagy has emerged as a new and potent modulator of disease progression that is both scientifically intriguing and clinically relevant."

@SgtPepper agreed with Max. B12 is water soluable vitamin means any excess gets peed out and is really easy for liver to get rid of. The problems are with an excess of fat-soluable vits: A,D,E,K. That being said, tens of millions of meat-eaters around the world supplement basic stuff like Vitamin C , K, Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium etc...look at all these multivitamins..it is a joke... cramping 30 nutrients in one pill and expecting to get away with it. Vegans are generally very conscious of the nutrition hence most only need to supplement B12 and D if they don't get out too often. Also there is much more to nutrition than vitamins and minerals, there are hundreds of other compounds like antioxidants and phytonutrients where supplemenents can't help much anyways.

you are probably not taking in enough calories. Count your caloric requirements on plantspace.org and than use one of the useful aps such as cronometer.com to track your meals for couple days to make sure you are hitting your macros and micros. No need to go all fancy pancy sciency forever but maybe just for couple days till you get the feeling of how much you should eat to feel satiated and energized.

@George Fil don't underestimate the amount of impact one human can have if they put their mind and heart into something. At the same time, it may be difficult to master everything as there will always be experts who will likely be more knowledgable in single areas . Perhaps focus on one market segment instead of trying to change all of them and with time you may expand. Remember the goal of life purpose is that "there is no goal". You do this because it is the most meaningful thing to you. Your intuition will tell you if you are doing the right thing if you listen to it. Keep on learning and improving every day, and with months and years, the situation will clear itself, you LP may change many times over your life.

It is but it would potentially take longer because there are so many aspects. You can become incredibly versatile in all sorts of fields or you could become an ultra specialist in a single field, find your niche and serve that market. And then different industries do business slightly better so you could become say an expert in green marketing and support companies in becoming more environmental...oh man imagine your value down the road in 15 years now where the world is realising the impact of heavy industries and high emissions.....that being said, business is mainly profit driven which may not be the most fulfilling life as long as money is a primary drive.

I have absolutely no idea if this would do something but re-watch Leo's Yoga Krya (The importance of real yoga) video. I think at one point he mentioned that through this one is able to heal diseases. I think this has to do with chakras and chi circulation. But again, never tried it so I don't know how much I believe in this stuff. I would like to but guess ego holds back. Anyway, check out the video from non-biased perspective. He also posted some vids on this on his blog some time ago. Maybe...just maybe there is something for you in there :))

Was looking for a way to stop caring what people think about me, found just the right video, subscribed and never left. Well, you can say he is quite public with the number of his subs and followers. CNN and Fox News are neither interested nor ready for this type of information. They will produce the shallowest garbage that the public wants to see and the most dramatic stuff they can find to justify riddiculous spending on the military and drugs. These media have nothing to do with truth or objectivity. True about the last statement, some people have an incredibly fragile belief system and any threat might be met with severe outrage.
