Sure, but honestly from where I'm sitting, it feels like magic. I'm sure the result can be completely explained with science but I'm not going to sit down and work it all out. I just care that I'm a healthy weight agai

I started measuring results 27/05/2019 when my weight was 104kg, BMI 29.43 (I think I started a day or two earlier). 03/06/2019 102kg. 25/06/2019 97kg. 28/06/2019 96kg. 08/07/2019 94kg. 26&#

You make a good point about "considering the way you are now as normal and that those products were making you sick." That is exactly how I think now, but if you grow up where it is the norm to eat a high-sugar, processed food, m

Respectfully you are coming from a certain frame. There is always the possibility that other frames exist that may be a more accurate representation of reality. If you are open, check out The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung.

Sure, do whatever is right for you. My research into the meat industry indicated that I was actually consuming a lot of stuff along with the meat that just isn't good for you. Sure you can go fully organic, free-range etc, but the me

No offence taken :-) I'm not a professional, and I didn't track anything except my body measurements and weight during this process so I don't know exactly where all the results came from. I wasn't chugging bottles of C

Yeah, lol... you aren't wrong. There is a little more to that though. My research into this indicated that the benefits of autophagy start at the 16-hour mark, so you really need to make sure your fast is at least 16-hours long. Also

I don't know; I did forget to add that I cut out all alcohol as well. Maybe doing both 16/8 fasting and eating super clean, super healthy, was synergistic?

Yes, 100%! No word of a lie.

I had a wake-up call when my Doctor said my Body Mass Index (BMI) was 29.7 (obese is 30). So I made a total lifestyle change to a 16/8 intermittent fast (16 hours water only, 8-hour feeding window), and a plant-based diet (basically v

Yes but you're ignoring capital flight. Billionaires and multi-millionaires can just up and leave to more tax friendly destinations. There are actually tax advantaged schemes (EIS and VCT) in the UK to try and funnel money into emergin

Completely agree that there is no wrong or right path to business success in the context of having enough capital. A start-up that becomes successful——whatever way the founder(s) define it——via boot strapping is just as valid as those that

Can you please share where this place is, it's name and what's good?

I don't get it, you kept going to the fraudulent place? How good are these tacos that you are happy to have your money stolen from your bank account?

Cash is freedom and privacy. Cashless is tyranny and scrutiny. This is why we say innocent until proven guilty in the West. There is a social contract that is is better to let a murderer go free than to let an innocent person rot in priso

There are two topics here: a) the time value of money, and b) the fractional reserve system. There is also a 3rd topic, which is inflation, which is implied in your question. Topic 1: The time value of money is the bit about "a dollar

I think this is a great idea, young people will always push the envelope in terms of risky behaviour. A 'scare' with a structured process that includes mentorship could harnesses a young hacking talent and be positive outcome for

It may be helpful to look into the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) test and the research around it. It helped me gain an objective perspective and overcome patterns of family dysfunction that impacted my psychology.

Hang in there! Excellence is dedication to completion, and by the sound of things, you are doing an excellent job.

"Pick your sacrifice" applies here. I think you need to know where your red lines are in your career and family life. Having a schedule helps you keep on track. Other than that, my Dad once said something along the lines of, &qu

I've spent a lot of time thinking about the philosophical nature of love. My abstraction is that 'love' is a sufficient level of interest at the expense of our own interest. Indeed, it is rationally irrational, and 'su

I think it's more an existential crisis that can only be solved through some sort of combination of psychotherapy, drug therapy or self reflection. Either way it needs to bring about a profound philosophical breakthrough that permanent

Thomas Sowell's book Discrimination and Disparities discusses discrimination and has made me reconsider what is actually happening in the type of scenario you describe. I highly recommend it.
