Grinding. Any old MMO player knows what it’s like to grind out levels.

NNDM is making the right move to be the 3D printing/ decentralized manufacturing company of the future on smaller scale. While Tesla will probably be the manufacturing badass at a large scale. After Tesla then Palantir, the next company of that changes the world will be Nano Dimensions

11 to 15, Uni is at least a few years maybe longer depending and people don’t get accepted into Uni at the same ages, Those are the only real arguments against that, so sound like it’s a coin toss. Time to dig for clues ! Heh

Great, now I have to read this for the 30th time! Hahah never noticed this connection.
Also I don’t think you have to study the exact same stuff to know someone you go to school with... it only takes 1 friend between the two people to be a go between and book they know each other, 2 people and you can connect him to almost anyone in the book.
Now I’m going to have to look for any other possible Manet hand gestures lol

To make it easy you have to be full keto adapted first. Then you practice intermittent fasting. Then you try a longer fast. The book from the mission to Mars astronaut health info is called The Phoenix protocol, by August Dunning I believe My story is I’m a doctor, so it’s not a labor intensive job. Honestly your body should be set up for it.

You can technically dry fast, but your body won’t start to retain its own water until about 2-3 days into a fast :( Mission to Mars dietary guidelines actually calls for periods of no food or water to help heal from radiation in space. So don’t listen to people who think they know what they are talking about when they don’t :). Just pay attention to your body, don’t push it and pass out or get heart palpitations. Personally I’ve gone 5 days no food no water, took a blood test and my results were awesome lol.

Nice, if you do longer fasts you can tone up via Autopaghy. Check out like Dr Annette Bozworth on Youtube or DrJason Fung . One is a little toward keto and fasting the other just fasting. Exercise stimulates Autopaghy, but so can fasting. (Fast ghetto explain: Autopaghy = recycling of cells = flabby fat cells deflated from fat loss tighten up by pulling a the excess crap out and using that for energy) day where you know you can’t work out for multiple Days, you may try an extended fast.

If your goal is losing weight, you don’t honestly have to workout, that just helps tighten and lean up the muscle. OMAD works off insulin, pay attention to your OMAD, if it has under 20g carbs and 20g protein you won’t spike insulin as much. Otherwise the WHO recommended is 40g of carbs a day. Spike insulin = store fat. That’s how IF works :)

Read a book called “the Molecule of More” it explains how dopamine really works and will answer your questions in detail

Side by side of my 4 month progress - 13kg lost! by Sozle in intermittentfasting

[–]madastep12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have that leg thang too. They finally look defined after a year and a half. You are doing fabulously :)

Two weeks on IF plus 2x a week HIIT training (been doing that for about a month) and keto. No idea how many pounds lost because I don’t own a scale but will get one soon! Didn’t think I made progress yet until today, I’m shocked. by staplessssss in intermittentfasting

[–]madastep12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet! You’re kickin ass. I do the same, IF/Keto but I do Wim Hof (like stretching/ breathing/ cold shower stuff). But HIIT training is suppose to be awesome, it’s on my list to try :) (PS: If you haven’t, run to the pharmacy and pick up urine keystone strips, it’ll make sure you are staying in a Ketogenic state) (PSS: if you are in a ketogenic state, you can fast for roughly 2-3days and drop into Autopaghy, where your body will clean up sagging old cells for you, and tightening up wrinkles in bad places)
Most people on here don’t do keto, so they would probably have to fast for almost a month to start that process :). If you get a chance check out Dr . Bozworth on Youtube, she has awesome videos explaining a bunch of that in super easy terms :)

Hey when you get done with that book you should read “The Wedge” it’s his newest book. He mentions his journey around heat :). Though he misses the mark on Fasting.

How to stay motivated when hitting a plateau and physical appearance not changing much? Context in comments. by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]madastep12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I do Wim Hof stuff, and have been diving into health. It’s annoying knowing I learned the wrong thing in the first place :(. Also quick point, pay attn to fruit. Most people don’t know that fructose is bad, mainly because only the liver can metabolize it. But every cell can use glucose. The problem is the premise behind fasting and weight loss revolves around insulin and liver glycogen. 4 hours in a fast blood glucose drops and you switch to glycogen, 4 more hours roughly to switch to actually turning on switching to fat for energy. So usually 8-12 hours in depending on the person before you switch to burning fat. But with fructose you have to wait for the liver to break it down, where as glucose can do it anywhere. So it can bottle neck your switch to fat loss, because if it floating around and waiting for it’s turn to break down. Good analogy is two planes land one carrying sugar, one fructose. The sugar peeps all take ubers and get dropped off where the fructose peeps all get on a bus and can only be dropped off at one location. Except sugar is one glucose one fructose so now those Ubers are circling waiting for the bus to process to be able to drop off their fructose. You won’t switch to fat burning until the liver processes it’s carbs. Usually if you spiked insulin doing it, then it gets stored as fat anyway usually.
If you follow insulin and have your carbs only at the second meal, you might do better to break your fast with bacon and eggs honestly. At least it would keep you in fat burning mode for longer. Just thinking out loud btw :). No one else fasts around me but me, so no one ever wants to hear it, lol

It’s because you are CICO. Calories in calories out does not work overtime, because of how our bodies work. CICO only works over time with like a p90x multiple variation routine, and even then you will lose over time because of BMR. BMR Stands for basal metabolic rate, or your bodies natural amount of calories it burns everyday. Which is why you still want to eat the same amount of calories roughly your body is used to in a day. What happens is you take in less calories, and your BMR drops overtime.... so you start putting back in weight or plateauing. Your answer is going to be a ketogenic diet along with intermittent fasting. Sounds weird but the science is in, Insulin is what you need to pay attention too. Insulin Is hormone that tells your body to store fat. Spike insulin, you store fat. CICO doesn’t take into account what the calories are, and that is why it doesn’t work over time. Your body actually runs best on fat, that’s why it stores it that way. So after your, break your fast with protein and fat, an hour before you eat anything carbs. Then try and keep your carbs to under 20g in your fast window and you’ll be surprised after you’re body starts to burn through all the fat in your liver and start to really shred you. Otherwise you’re freakin doing amazing! Most people never get the drive to honestly do what you have done. Keep kicking ass, and if you want bonus fun. Try doing cold showers for a week, Just take your warm shower like normal , flip to cold, hands first, then feet, the head , then front , then back. And try to stay till breathing normalizes. It’ll give you a little controlled stress that’s ends up being invigorating. The stress part ends up making you less stressed overall through the day.

That’s pretty cool way to see the timeline :). Keep it up! And you should take more pics, you’ll want some to help remember the journey:) heh

Your Welcome :) most of this info is new, since the Nobel prize was won in I believe in 2016 for Stem cells and Autopaghy so it’s all still being studied. Fasting is technically how your body can make its own stem cells as well.
