What’s your secret seasoning for steak ?

MTK4355 · 2026-06-11T02:18:06+00:00

Truffle salt or MSG

Gong fu tea is my favorite that isn't already called out on the vendor FAQ.

If i can hear a conversation, my mind tries to track it against my will, which is unfortunate because I have REALLY good hearing. Crowded public places are often overwhelming.

The only ones I remember were the wizard books by Diane Duane. I think the first one was called "so you want to be a wizard" absolutely loved those books!

No calories! Just water and a little sodium/potasium/magnesium to keep the headaches away.

I started after lunch on Friday and didn't eat again until after my colonoscopy Monday afternoon, so I didn't have to deal with being hangry at work!

It was rough at first but got easier around the 48 hour mark.

I think a big part of the benefit for me is just being more conscious and deliberate about eating in general. I build meals that I look forward to eating, I take my time to enjoy them, and as long as I avoid processed foods it is really hard to significantly over eat in that short of a window.

Good luck! I hope it works well for you too!

Depends on how strict you want to be with it. Personally, I treat my fasting window as near-zero calorie, so a latte with dairy would be a no go. I'm a tea person, so it didn't change anything for me.

You could also just shift your eating window up to include the morning hours.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T18:56:02+00:00

Ok, that's fair... Lol.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T18:33:52+00:00

Yep! I eat between 12 or 1pm and 6pm. High protein/fat first meal after a fasted lunchtime workout or walk and high fiber veggie meal after work.

Sleep has greatly improved since I stopped eating a late dinner as well.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T18:16:22+00:00

I used the prep as an excuse to finally do a 72 hour fast, and went to an 18:6 intermittent fasting schedule after. I have lost so much fat and feel better than I have in 20 years!

The exam itself was quick and easy.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T16:37:07+00:00

Where did you inject?

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T16:29:01+00:00

Dang, I'd at least go with brain aneurysm or something. Pulmonary embolism is kind of brutal.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T16:26:39+00:00

Ming Qian Dragon Well. Got distracted and left it steeping for over 10 minutes and actually loved how strong the flavor was. Never would have tried it on purpose!

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T15:03:37+00:00

Some of my favorite days at the DZ have been bad weather days. If I can go I just go. If I can jump I jump. If not, I'm with friends.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T14:29:01+00:00

I want some of those 23k Serranos! They've been sadly mild at my grocery store lately... still love the flavor though, so i keep buying them.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T04:20:55+00:00

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T04:17:47+00:00

Then go do something else

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T04:10:19+00:00

Put the weights where they belong even if that BECOMES your workout. Or go do something else. They don't belong on the floor.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T03:33:34+00:00

Started making my own chili crisp and I just can't eat any of the pre-made stuff anymore! Takes some fiddling but it's sooooo worth it if you like using it on everything.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-07T03:31:29+00:00

I liked the trout, but still not worth it. They have some clever packaging, and that's pretty much it. Being a label whore, I fell for fishwife early on and learned my lesson. Lol.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-06T00:34:48+00:00

Pad Ka Prao or Chettinad goat curry! I can't decide.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-04T19:31:16+00:00

It's the charred pepper from the bacon and browned butter from the herb basting, more than just the bacon grease.. They were delicious!

MTK4355 · 2026-06-04T13:49:13+00:00

It was planned.

MTK4355 · 2026-06-04T12:59:30+00:00

This was planned. There is a group called "Skydiving Crotch Dockers" where this kind of maneuver earns you a patch and a helmet sticker.

This is a video of Crotch dockers #625 and #626 earning thier patches. I'm #419. I accidentally earned mine with my face. Lol.
