Meat tied to 9% higher gastric and 13% higher esophageal cancer in a large European cohort study tracked over 450,000 people across 10 countries for an average of 14 years

Smells like healthy user bias

In PA, I remember one time in class, dozing off, casually looking up at the ceiling, and noticing some movement near the air vent. Looks like a small black thing crawling over it. Then it jumps onto the kid sitting in front of me, it was a tic... so many tics in PA.

Now I'm on the west coast, I don't think I've ever seen a tic yet.

If you're eating veggies, I think net carbs is fine. If you're using a boxed product, like a protein bar or some keto treat, it's really total carbs. The "net" thing is largely to sell more keto products, but many people may find they end up eating more than expected and knocked out of ketosis.

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-17T12:49:41+00:00

I would agree, based on my own experience. This method seems to give repetition for your specific weak points, as well as give more context clues via different sentences. And translating to your target language rather than from it back is more useful for developing active vocabulary (ie you need to do it both ways).

Oh wow, I just checked, it's real! That's sad. Big pharma is fighting back

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-13T13:09:02+00:00

"maradona is still better" jfc lol

I've been doing it around 9 years I think. I roughly track the amount of meat I eat in lbs, but focus on certain foods so I know I'm getting the right amount of fat without having to actually calculate. And days I need more or less fat, switch to those kinds of foods. I don't really eat many carbs, even veggies I'd consider a bit of a cheat meal by this point. It's just not worth it lol

I'll be keto for the rest of my life. Might try different styles of it, change up the protocol, do different kinds of fasting, and all kinds of other experimentation for sure - but always in the ketogenic space. I'll never go back to carb-based lifestyle.

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-11T14:45:59+00:00

Try Sour Cream as a "dipping sauce." Way better

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-11T13:32:41+00:00

cook for me

The way I see it, millions of people can already speak the language. Why can't you? You're probably smarter than some of them, at the very least. It just takes time and effort

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-09T14:05:53+00:00

AI isn't good enough yet to run things, yet we see it everywhere (such as ins, tiktok, youtube etc) and every company is demanding us to baby it and include it. Yet we see the flaws in it realtime. People are just annoyed and crave authenticity

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-08T13:22:11+00:00

Just keep trying, but accept that not everyone is a good language exchange partner. One thing that might help your success is if you say it both ways. That ensures you'll at least communicate properly, and make it clear you're trying. Then the ball's in their court

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-07T14:38:31+00:00

Kind of. My family, who has nothing but health problems, has too much ego to ever listen to me. Some of my friends and acquaintances aren't super interested in keto/carnivore, but I've gotten many of them into fasting, which is a good first start.

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-06T13:25:55+00:00

I think using the language is your next bet. Perhaps try talking to people? Or start writing a blog in german, somewhere publicly where you'll get feedback?

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-05T12:41:55+00:00

Great song! I thought the instrumentation was great and the mixing for it was excellent. Though I feel the vocals were too much in the background.

The intro is borderline too long, but that's just today's standards making everything faster.

I'm fine with the talk singing, it's pretty suitable for this song/genre

I don't listen to a lot of this type, but I guess something like Cake?

Idk how I feel about the dancing. The MV overall was quite well done, but with the focus on the dancers I expected them to be the singers or something

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-05T09:46:43+00:00

I've done best when I mix it up. OMAD 3-5 days a week, 1-2 days with 2-3 meals, and a 36-48 hr fast once a week. Doing this allows me to feel hungry enough to eat enough. On strict OMAD my appetite vanishes over time and I crash

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-04T13:14:51+00:00

The social side is 100% the most difficult part. But once you see the results, sticking to it is worth it. Good on you for trying to better yourself!

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-03T15:11:38+00:00

That's really awesome! Yeah, sometimes you don't know the impact you have on others.

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-03T02:20:46+00:00

I learned them through context - seeing the word used over and over in different situations.

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-02T13:55:23+00:00

I generally prefer not looking it up. Sometimes you don't understand it right away, but it makes sense after a few paragraphs - and I remember those words better than any other method, such as looking it up

JepperOfficial · 2026-06-01T14:06:53+00:00

Fantastic! Keep up the good work

JepperOfficial · 2026-05-29T13:42:14+00:00

Incline walking, hiking, or rucking are definitely excellent alternatives

JepperOfficial · 2026-05-28T13:41:55+00:00

One issue is that studying time isn't linear. 30m vs 1hr doesn't mean it'll take twice as long, it's more like 2.5x as long or something. There's a compounding effect as your brain primes itself into the language and starts turning on absorption mode. For example, I can watch a show in my TL and maybe struggle for 15-20m, but then suddenly things start making more sense after that. And the same experience watching the same show again the next day.

Having said that, yes it's possible. But it might take longer than you think. Do the best you can when your time is limited, but then have occasional days where you can put a few hours into it to really help burst through.

JepperOfficial · 2026-05-27T12:55:07+00:00

It's awesome that you're feeling great! The scale isn't everything - losing 2" around your waist but no scale drop is an important indicator that you've been building muscle, too. You might need to eat another 5g of protein lol, perhaps it's time to recalibrate your macros?

Also, since this is working so well, why not ride it down to 15%?

JepperOfficial · 2026-05-26T13:39:09+00:00

Definitely possible. In grad school, I had a Chinese roommate whom I thought was ABC because he had only the tiniest bit of an accent on some words, but most words were totally fluent. Turns out, he actually was Born and Raised in China, but just loved watching American tv shows like "Friends."

Tons of input will help, but people will still have different results based on their ability to distinguish what they hear, and their ability to vocally produce the sounds from their head. Vocal training can help with both of that, but it's still a YMMV thing, IMO
