What's your daily caloric intake, though? It's not just sugar that's negative. Traditional diets which are high in either carbohydrates or fats are broadly ok, it's the combination which is problematic, because it'

Ronnie was never less than 1% body fat, or even 1%. Stage ready bodybuilders are more like 3-5%. People are just poor at estimating bodyfat, and the media throwing out nonsense numbers doesn't help.

No, really. Insulin resistance and elevated fasted blood are clinical markers of diabetes and prediabetes. There is no arguing this. Yes, non-obese individuals with type 2 diabetes exist, though they are rare. Obese individuals who are not

I'm not suggesting cloudflare or public cloud by any means. It is not hard to run your own infrastructure on a small scale. However, you can play around with k8s/k3s without making it the lynchpin of the network infrastructure.
