I have a terrible confession to make

[QYFW]

Okay, this will come off meaner than I want, but I'm at the coffee shop, and the table next to me... Two diabetics are meeting with an Australian man who is some kind of naturopath. (He didn't order anything, which always Pishes me off. You can't just sit here.) He's talking about glucose and "pancreatic fatigue" and he's spouting all sorts of made-up sounding bullship, about how pharmaceutical companies want you on drugs, so they've rigged the eating system to keep people diabetic... And I'm sitting here... The two diabetics, a man and a woman, are both huge. Like, 300+. I am mindful of @Songbird and his progress from diabetic to non-diabetic or at least less diabetic through weight loss and exercise. These two don't have tired pancreases. They're too heavy. They must eat like absolute ship to be the size that they are. They should eat less ship. But instead they're paying some guy to fill them with hokum and blame for a system when they need to eat better and exercise more.

Thank Christ for headphones and Sufjan Stevens.

Lack of self-control aside, it's fairly well known at this point that the sugar industry has long been nefarious in its attempts to mislead the public. It has been astoundingly effective until recently when many health professionals have started to discover that the accepted wisdom regarding what is healthy is manufactured PR nonsense.

How the Sugar Industry Shifted Blame to Fat

Plenty of links regarding this can be found.

Can someone pash this along? I wouldn't want type to go through life not understanding something important.

Sugar bad. Fat good! I like the Keto idea so far, though I'm not in it all the way.

Pro tip: Pork rinds are a good substitute for chips, crackers, etc. Protein and fat, no carbs. Moderation rules apply.

Where have you been?

 

[Huggy]

I got sick of it after like five years. I couldn't imagine going back to it. It really was not good for me mentally or socially. When my ex would get home from work, I'd always want to go out to dinner or whatever just to get out of the house.

I worked from home for a year and a half and will never, ever do it again for any extended period of time. Some people love it, but I need the noise of the workplace, phones, people yapping whatever. I found myself going stir crazy over the silence, and that's while working with stuff like Motorhead's No Sleep 'til Hammersmith cranked to 11.

Apparently @Huggy and I are the same person. I'm sorry, buddy.

How long have you been in ketosis?

 

[Songbird]

I'm not in ketosis but would say I'm 90-95% carb-free. I got serious about slashing carbs 10 months ago.

Tonight's dinner. Chicken, broccoli, salad. Boring as fork but you get used to it.

What's the recipe for the chicken?

What's the recipe for the chicken?

Guess he didn't want to share.

45,313 as of today. Over the hill. More than halfway. Now I just have to do everything I've just done again. OH fork ME.

Just imagine how good it'll feel when you're at the quarter pole.

What's the recipe for the chicken?

I forgot about seeing this.

Lemon, butter, few other things from the fridge.

Chicken was super juicy.
