I'm definitely looking forward to suffering side effects 5 and 6 at once. 1: This is not even a side effect, and it refers to the loss of water weight during the hours before entering ketosis, while the body is still burning glycogen s

I am a 30-year-old male. 172 cm and around 60 kg starting weight (skinny-fat, slender build, quite high fat % and almost no muscle). After the initial water weight loss, my weight has been fluctuating around the 55 kg mark. However, fat los

I didn't switch for weight loss, but for the other benefits I listed. I was skeptical, of course, but I like to self-experiment.

> low enough fat that your body isn't storing any Dietary fat is rarely stored. It is mostly either burnt (metabolic upregulation) or excreted. Excess glucose in the blood, however, is stored as fat, through a process known as de

Recovery times are simply amazing when your muscles don't use glucose/glycogen. I can use the same muscle group day after day with no issues. However, I do admit that the suppression of inflammation caused by ketosis can make it h

Switched to a ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting 5 months ago. My sleep quality, mental clarity, ability to focus for long periods of time and mood swings have all improved dramatically. I am also shredding fat at a pretty good pace a

Tone has nothing to do with the fact that you were asked a question and you responded with a non-answer. And anyone can notice that, and the intention there-in. There is simply no way anyone could perceive this as not dodging the question i

In my opinion, answering with "thank you for making it" should be equivalent in everyone else's brains to "well, that wasn't very good". Social consequences will ensue regardless of you stating it or not. In th

This tries to mimic the sort of pitch dark we would get at night living in the middle of nowhere. However, it fails when sunrise comes and none of it goes through the blinds. We then open them up abruptly and sunlight floods our eyes, which

Exactly. Came here expecting an article on someone who used sunlight only and how that affects life, ability to do work, sleep, health... And found an article on someone who removed blue light, while keeping artificial candles for dark time

All direct costs that I know of are proportional to the employee's wage. Could you elaborate a bit and tell us what other costs you are thinking about?
103.
by glastra 9y ago
I never understood this. Pay people half the wage for half their time, hire twice the staff. Get a significant increase in value produced for the same money. I, for one, would accept half pay for half work. And I suspect others too.

What if the Laws of Athens, as personified in the dialogue, were subject to change over time, like our social contracts? Would they deserve such treatment that one would prefer death over harming them? As I see it, this view of purity and a

I certainly agree with the last part of your comment. In my opinion, mindfulness and meditation, and learning how to stop identifying ourselves with irrational, uncontrolled thought processes are steps in the right direction.

And an improvement in productivity was a side-effect of said therapy. I fail to see your point.

I am eating a calorie surplus* and losing body fat in the process. Keto + IF means my body is fasted / burning fat N hours a day, and spends the other 24-N repairing and building new tissue. My body of course prefers to burn fat du

No, I wasn't. This is part of a progression I started 2 years ago. I was a hardcore case of skinny-fat ever since I was a kid. In other words, my BMI has always been normal , although my body fat % was probably through the roof (small

I'll reply to your points one by one: * Postpandrial crashes are insulin-blood sugar crashes. Just keep the glycemic load in check and you're good to go. * Carbohydrates can also make you crash hard afterwards. Unless you start sn

A ketogenic diet combined with intermittent fasting has put my brain into serious overdrive for the last 2 months. I also get better sleep and have much higher levels of energy (and constant throughout the day, too).

I haven't conflated sadness with depression. I was in fact stating the opposite. Unfortunately I am very aware of most of the symptoms of depression as I have suffered it myself in the past. And yes, I did take antidepressants. I am

In my opinion, inability to cope with whatever is going on with life is still not depression. It is, however, something that can and should be addressed (possibly through therapy). In fact, I believe using antidepressants for such cases is

As true as that might be, I strongly believe depression as a disease/condition should only be diagnosed (and thus treated) if there is no real cause for the symptoms. Being sad and unable to leave the bed because (your dog died | you

Bitcoin has absolutely no utility as a currency. Look at the current mempool [0] to see why. People then switch to arguing that it's a great store of value. Given its volatility this makes no sense. [0]: https://jochen-hoeni

There's life outside "consultancy companies" (which in Spain are basically just intermediaries that resell your work for a higher price without any added value).
