  • It’s the thermodynamic basis, but not the clinical basis. The carbohydrate insulin model of obesity is far more clinically relevant.

    The human body is a hormonal machine, the hormones keep everything in check. As long as the hormones are functioning properly hunger and fullness will regulate body weight optimally.

    To gain 1 lbs in a month it’s a 30 calories difference per meal. I don’t care how good your calorie tracking is, there is no way you can measure down to 30 calories per meal correctly.

    It’s far easier to eat food that doesn’t spike insulin, and let the bodies normal feedback mechanisms regulate hunger.





  • I think the major problem with plant-based proteins is they are coupled with carbohydrates in abundance. To hit your protein goals you typically get a large amount of sugar, which it causes a large amount of insulin, leading to the hormonal problems I indicated above.

    So to recap, you’re doing a vegetarian diet, you have great success with it, but you’re undermuscled. You want advice on which foods to help you build up your muscles? Your lifestyle is very active, and you get lots of resistance exercise at your job.

    Your already doing the most important thing to stimulate muscle growth, you say your getting enough protein, so I think the next place to look is at your hormone levels.

    Verify the diaas score of your major protein source, make sure it’s a complete protein. https://www.diaas-calculator.com/

    Down thread you say you can eat eggs? Eat more eggs by themselves, i.e. not within 4 hours of other food. Each egg is 6g of bio complete protein. Mixing eggs and plant based foods will reduce the absorption of the egg itself.


  • I’ve seen people have good success not trying to eat more, but eating a carnivore or very low carb diet and adding in resistance exercise. The body will naturally hunger for the proteins to build more muscle as long as the muscles get challenged regularly

    Things to stimulate muscle growth (anything where your muscles feel a little sore at the end)

    • physical activity
      • walking
      • weight training
      • swimming

    Hormones can have a massive impact on your body composition, if you have a doctor get your hormonal panel done. Eating low carb food will help your body’s hormones get back into balance. High carb/sugar filled food messes with the super hormone insulin and that can keep you off balance.

    Dont eat high sugar foods just to pack on fat, you want to build your natural muscle for a healthy lifestyle. If you must stay plant based you could explore plant based keto https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/vegetarian

    Make sure you map out your food intake, at least once, in a micronutrient tool like cronometer and ensure your hitting all the targets

    If you’re young, don’t have any other medical issues, are undermuscled, and have low energy - it sounds like a hormonal issue. Probably it can be resolved with a better diet.

    The attention economy largely works by finding problems, outrage, rage bait that can grab and hold your attention.

    If you spend lots of time online your view of the world gets skewed by the attention machine.

    Life is pretty good, people are nice, food is great. The community around you keeps on keeping on.


  • Move on, it’s a sign your not important to the other person, so they are not worth worrying about

    I’ve got a friend who just dips from the conversation for months and shows back up like nothing happened. Now I respond to their new message, but use signals timed message feature to match however long they ghosted the conversation. Disappear for 2 months then ask a question? No problem, the answer is coming in 60 days!


  • Rules and enforcement are different.

    If you make the behavior illegal, you can use that behavior to prosecute people you don’t like. Even if you can’t really control every instance of that behavior. Like speeding laws

    If encryption is illegal, then every company operating legally in your country will not offer encryption. Making it very unavailable to the majority of people. That’s 80% of your problem right there. The other 20% will persist, but if they become a problem you can target them with the above law about using illegal math.

    It’s not about perfection, it’s about layered defense to weaken your enemies. And when you see the people in your country as the enemies of the government, then you’re going to see a lot of threats.
