I am sure if Leo had 100% freedom to eat anything he wished without negative digestive symptoms his diet would be largely different to what it is right now. A therapeutic elimination diet can be extremely restrictive and detrimental over the long term unless new food groups are reintroduced. A lot of proponents of the carnivore diet such as Paul Saladino are completely oblivious to this fact. Eliminate -> Heal -> reintroduce.

Yes this is excellent point. Never ask the client question starting with "why" that is aimed at questioning an existing behaviour. People absolutely hate that. Open questions exploring alternatives and engaging deeper sites of the prefrontal cortex are better option such as "what other colours do you think would work as well?" Reminds me of a book I once read, the guy was talking about how in school at PE sessions are kids are evaluated equally. Such as the usual time for 1K is say 9 minutes and so anyone who makes it at 10 or worse is downgraded. What they don't appreciate is that while Student X made it in 7.5 being an athlete it was easy however Student Y being from a non-sporty family made it in 11 while firing on all cylinders and ending up exhausted for 24 hours.. This would have never been appreciated. It is the amount of individual effort and willpower that was spent that needs to be counted not some pedestal hall of fame target. For some people those targets may be completely unechievable

right..... So you think that all health problems disappear on their own once you become conscious enough? I had the pleasure to work with a guy who was extremely advanced in this practice and let me tell you it did not help his health problems at all, if anything it made them worse. Sometimes the answer is not in getting more conscious but embracing other, more physical aspects of healing which includes getting your hands dirty and fixing your shit.

No, it won't. By becoming enlightened you don't just turn into a freaking white mage and heal all your conditions. This is so incredibly naive, I can't tell if you're trolling or being serious. Leo himself is an example that physical ailments are completely separate from one's state of consciousness. Do you really think a sage can't get prostate cancer from all that sitting around or that if the body is toxic, the toxins will just leave the body, bowing down to your superconscious ass. .....let's be serious

Seems like you would really enjoy the Total War series. I've clocked an unflattering number of hours in Rome II throughout my youth but am quite happy to return to it even today.

@7thLetter did you have a lot of acne growing up? If so could be a sign of high DHT levels (I had the same and lost a lot of hair I my teens). As other said - deficiencies especially iron. Don't supplement unless you get it checked thou, that could be dangerous. Gut problems as mentioned above is a big one especially things like undiagnosed coaliac Chronic stress might be as well. Some medication you're taking possibly/.

Contrary to above I'd say you should keep low fodmaps in if you can tolerate them. You also need tl protect your microbiome colonies. If you lose the largest phyla due to fibre deprivation you're gonna have a hard time fixing your gut and keeping your mood stable.

Sibo can actually be as hard to treat as IBD. it may take some people up to a year to achieve full restoration. Sometimes more. Anyone who has fought it for years would tell you it is extremely complicated condition Also to probiotics theory is not really true, most randomised controlled trials show benefits of probiotics supplementation in patients with SIBO despite the fact that naturopaths make up all these claims about sibo going dormant and probiotics making it worse et But then naturopaths are notorious from ignoring wider evidence in favour of outdated protocols and overpriced tests The probiotic theory is kinda counterintuitive, most people with sibo will benefit from probiotics as long as they take the right ones. The bacteria that is overpopulated is a quiet different phyla to those found in probiotics anyway

Well you could move on to nicotine patches or less toxic form of vaping?

I'd be sceptical to every single thing claimed by Norton. He is notorious for being somewhat dogmatic and hiding his cherrypicking behind his PhD. I gotta ask this "why would you get cancer from not fasting" most people (statistically speaking) do not fast and most people (statistically speaking) do not get cancer in their lifetime. It's a great habit that's for sure but watch out that it doesn't become a neurosis. The muscle atrophy questions is all about the length of the fast. 24 hour fast won't do that to you. A 72+ might but the loss won't be dramatic, we're talking grams here probably coming from your largest groups (legs). Also don't forget that your body recycles amino acids, you don't just run out, there is a constant stream from breakdown of old cells, neurotransmitters, red blood cells etc. In order to enter muscle catabolism there has to be a significant period of starvation. To protect yourself you can just take some amino powder twice a day on your fast.

Not this brand but I've used Doctor's Best before. Nothing to complain about, they are a standard supplement brand.

@Roy i actually suck ? but DM me your nick on Steam ?

This one is more of a scam on national level but in my home-country, in eastern Europe we were promised that a highway would be built all the way from west to east of the country. At the moment it goes from west to somewhat middle and then you are left with shit roads for another 150 miles. The highway has been paid for through taxpayers money at least 3 times now in the last 20 years. Billions of euros have dissapeared. It still hasn't been built. The company that got paid still exists and operates. However suspiciously politicians have become rich, houses worth tens of millions have been built....and the highway is nowhere to be found. Nobody has ever ben found guilty. .... The last 3 governments we had were ruthlessly exploiting the funds of European union and openly stealing money from the national treasury. Nothing ever happened for decades the country was robbed blind by the government it elected because the majority of the country was too dumb and too blinded by their poverty and lack of education to vote for a better party.......thank god that generation is dying out now and it looks like we are finally heading towards better times.

Such foods were nearly unavailable in the past and so if you happened to find something hyper-palatable with concentrated calories, it meant the tribe could survive a bit longer. Like finding a tree full of ripe figs or dates. The entire tribe would probably go and collect everything before it was discovered or just to make sure a fight didn't break out if another tribe found the tree as well. Our bodies are wired to seek out those high-calorie sources. The problem is we don't have to look anymore, they are everywhere which does not serve the primitive hunter instinct we still have and so people can't control themselves when they eat this stuff and obesity has become a problem. Those foods are often designed to trigger a neurotransmitter response that makes it impossible to stop eating. It wouldn't be problem once every now and then but problem is that we have made those foods the centre of our diet and that makes us sick and fat

@Human Mint You should totally be fine with getting up to 80g of protein per day, possibly even less than that. Twice a week is what would be considered light-to-moderate so I wouldn't see the need to go above 1.4g/kg of protein/bodyweight. But you can always invest into some good quality protein powder as a last resort if you'd like. I'm not sure I'd do IF if your overall goal is muscle gain and you are already struggling to eat enough protein. However if you can fit 2,500 in 2 meals so be it. You may end up super stuffed thou :D. For the goal of weight gain and hypertrophy, 3 main meals per day would be preferable. Achieving 80g/day is totally doable on mostly vegetarian diet. You can hide a lot of red and yellow lentils in meals. I don't know if tempeh is available to you but don't forget about that and tofu as another excellent complete source. I wouldn't worry about complete or incomplete protein sources. That argument dies once the person eats a variety of different foods.

@Human Mint What's your weight? How often do you exercise? How long are the sessions? Are you following any particular diet module?

That you need to stop going to tic toc. The platform was not designed for you, you are not the designated audience neither for the app nor for any of the content. Drop it, leave it. The content is perfect for the people to whom it is addressed (is that how you use "whom" ). It could not be any better. The person who invented it was a genius, the unfortunate thing is that people outside of the ideal audience are seeing it as well. Maybe that's part of the algorithm optimisation. I like to think that what I see is just a tip of the iceberg compared to what my teenage cousin sees who is actively "doing the dance"

I'm enjoying the AOE2 HD version on steam. It's one of those strategy games like Starcraft 1 that you can pretty much play in 50 years and it will still be super enjoyable. I 'm not sure if AOE4 won't just be the exactly same game with hyper graphics. It's tricky, if they add too much new functionality, they will offend the all-time gamers by changing the core concept but if the game just ends up being AOE2 with better graphics, there will be little added value to the new players. It may end up being an overpriced AOE2. Mount and Blade did something similar with M&B2 where they released 95% copy of the previous game with improved graphics. I found it quite boring after few hours. Not to mention poor optimisation of graphics

IKEA now actually allows you to furnish your own tiny coffee spot with around 3-4 tables and up to 12 seating spaces at once so the layout may not be super expensive. Not sure how much license to operate is. You also gotta account for staff expenses, utilities, sanitation, logistics. The 1 million seems a bit like a pipe dream ad neatly broken down by @Yarco . Not saying don't dream big but be a little bit more realistic. But you can't expect to compete with big chains. All you can do is look for a niche group of people. 90% of people buying street coffee just want A coffee, any brand will do. How will you be different? If you're really serious about this thou: 1. Make a serious business plan including financial prognosis -expenses vs earnings 2. Figure out who your niche clients will be 3. Familiarise yourself with all costs of setting up a place like that. Maybe you could also frenchise under a big chain, the way Subways do If you need a loan, the bank will need some seriously financial prognosis and solid business plan. It's not impossible but entering a commodity market that is already super saturated will he risky. Maybe what you can do is establish a cute little hypster coffee store in area where there is none also serving some vegan friendly snacks. Those sorts of places are very popular

@Twega Few tips that may help you score the interview in corporate BE ON TIME !!! - in fact, be there 20 minutes earlier. Sometimes just getting through reception, getting badge, walking through security and getting in elevator during morning peak may take 15 minutes. Expect delays so be early Pay a lot of attention to your appearance on the day: clean ironed suit, well-washed face, well-shaved, perfume, proper hair style. Make sure your breath doesn't smell of coffee, no stuff between teeth etc - V4 are super fussy about their employe appearance, especially if you'd be doing more client-oriented work. Talk directly to the topic - usually these recruiters are very short on time and attention ability, they'll judge you based on first 60 seconds. Learn about the company, what they do, the products, major clients, bit about history, note down few interesting facts get some updates on some major breakthroughs that Deloitte has been through recently. Make sure you are aware of any recent major achievements or successes by the company familiarise yourself well with the criteria of the future position and be prepared to give some examples of how your skills match those requirements. What value will they get from hiring you? Be very specific. I know you probably haven't had a lot of experience being post-grad but if there are any personal achievements (academic, sports, ..anything else) be prepared to talk about those. Be prepared to talk about your strengths and weaknesses Don't lie but it is ok to slightly exaggerate some of your past achievements Be humble, if you have no idea about something they ask, humbly admit it. They can usually sense bulshitting.

The concept of IKIGAI is pretty much at the core of self-actualization and Leo's work, he just takes it a bit further

What would you be doing if "the level of personal satisfaction" was the currency, not the money? What would you want to share that would make you truly fulfilled if money was not a concern anymore?

Not too useful to be honest Just based on how I feel after an exhausting day when it still says I have 60% body battery left where in reality it feels more like 10. I'd love to know what variables are being accounted for. Possibly an average caloric expense on average + number of average heart beats + high volume physical activity. Yeah, I dunno. There is a reason why medical equipment costs thousands of dollars. But then even a lot of medical measuring units differ from each other inaccuracy. Body fat measuring unit is a brilliant example where you get a variety of results. I'd say in the end it comes down to self-calibration, at least that's how I use the Garmin Vivo 4. Because you keep using the same watch, you get certain data feed from activities that you do repetitively and then can adjust your exercise and lifestyle accordingly if those numbers start being a bit off. But in the larger picture, those Garmin values may be completely off compared to if you used medical grade heart rate monitor.

I was looking into it at one point and got super close to buying but then I decided to go for Garmin Vivosmar 4, same what @tsuki mentioned. I think what you get with the ring that you don't get with the smartwatch is the convenience of it being a ring. It is more comfortable to wear when you sleep but also easier to lose possibly? I'd definitely lose it at some point. But because it is a ring it means there is more wear and tear. For example I do a lot of calisthenics and bodyweight I dunno how it would work if you're doing a lot of bar work, pushups, weights...you know high amount of direct pressure and friction. But if you don't care about that, the ring may work for you It has really solid review and if you're ok with the price, go for it and maybe do a short review for the rest of us in a month?

I'm not sure it works like that but maybe it does. As far as I know, the only condition that causes depletion of dopamine is Parkinson's disease which is caused by the destruction of a region called Substantia Nigra (dopamine headquarters) caused by chronic inflammation. ALternatively deficiency in amino acids responsible for dopamine production such as phenylalanine and tyrosine could potentially cause a degree of that as well. Its not that dopamine gets depleted. The molecules is always being reuptake and pulled back (although some people with COMT mutation may genetically have a lower function to do this). It's more about that you just hardwire the brain to receive a dopamine response from something that exceeds normal life. So the usual stimuli just don't do it anymore because the reward mechanism has built up excessive expectations for the stimuli. Such as drug response or eating a lot of hyper-palatable food or binging on porn and then having issues with non-staged sex. Also personally what I think is happening as well (no evidence for this thou) is that the brain just downregulates the receptor sensitivity to dopamine so that it protects itself from possible damage of overindulgence. And then when you actually need that focus later on you don't get it anymore. But this may just be assumption. I'd say that was also just willpower depletion, energy depletion and just overall exhaustion. repetitive ejaculation can be quite depleting process to the whole body
