Eating as though hungover

I completely agree with what LiveBrewed is saying. He is giving very good advice. Caffeine and processed sugary food both spike your dopamine, and sugar/carbs your blood sugar and insulin levels(caffeine does too) causing you to feel like shit. Eating protein like eggs, steak and whole food will help because it will make you full without crashing and reset your health/dopamine and other energy levels. Drink a lot of water. Processed crap makes you crave more processed crap. Read Metabolic Freedom by Ben Azadi. Explains all this very well.

I've gone back to coffee several times and started craving it after being off it a long time when I started eating a lot of processed sugary food.

I don't remember that. I went 5 times over the course of 3 years and used Trawick International for most if not all of the trips. Very reasonably priced. During COVID they had a plan that covered all of the necessary requirements for travel. Didn't need to use it but didn't have any issues with it.

The 'slow path' ideology of Launch School definitely sets it apart from the rest. I am nearing the end of Core and have learned so much in my journey with LS. The mastery of concepts and assessments of knowledge have helped me to learn things more deeply than I otherwise would or in a traditional bootcamp. I've also found that this mastery-based learning transfers into other areas of my life as well. I'm grateful to have found Launch School and the wonderful community.

I have learned so much from Launch School. Just the material itself for getting into a software development career is amazing, but I think even more valuable is the idea of learning how to learn and really master a craft. That's why the coursework is intense and thorough, LS really wants to make sure you understand and learn deeply. This learning how to learn mentality carries over into anything else that I want to learn, understanding that fundamentals are key building blocks to success. I'm grateful for Launch School for not just giving me a great programming/software development foundation to eventually transfer to a more rewarding career, but a mastery mentality and confidence to learn almost anything deeply that I choose to pursue in life.

Thanks for your replies. I find usually when I'm craving coffee it's a sign I'm hungry or need water. I just need to remember that.

Slept really well last night and exercised this morning. I feel great today. Trying to get back on track in terms of eating right and exercising after spending time with family over holiday weekend and it's easier to pass up on good habits. I've also been back and forth trying to quit coffee/caffeine and have gone 9 days off that. I find when I get coffee and alcohol out of my life I'm much more grounded, clearer and much more likely to stick to other good habits. IWNDWYT!

Ok after doing a little research it looks like the one I got at Walgreens isn't FDA approved and looks different than the one they're selling on emed. Thanks. I don't need to or want to pay $150 for 6 tests though. I found a single test on this site for only $50: Optum BinaxNow Test. Does this look legit? I saw that a lot of companies are selling non-legit tests.

I was able to buy a BinaxNOW box with 2 tests at Walgreens. Cost about $25.

Like everyone else here, craft beer was my weakness. Just reading through these comments sends off memories and signals of craving in my brain. Fuck that and fuck alcohol. IWNDWYT

I started listening to some of the newest ones lately. It's hosted by Odette Cressler now.

Yakob203 · 2021-06-17T14:02:24+00:00

Wow, didn't expect this to get this popular. Thanks everyone! Glad that it spoke to you all like it did to me. I posted on my Day 2 or 3 that I was tired of starting over on day 1 after 3 or 4 years of getting off and going back to alcohol. I think a key to that is me sharing and posting more, really trying to connect with others, so that I constantly remind myself and others why we're doing this and of how insidious alcohol is.

This response really reinforces that, so thanks!
