@drmikehart I found that protein works pretty well in getting me full faster compared to junk food. It is not that hard for me to eat 2000+ calories of pizza, but with high protein I might need only 800 or so. If you want to lose weight, a high protein diet might work well for you.

Ozempic = 100% appetite suppressant (GLP-1) Tirzepatide ≈ 20% appetite suppressant (GLP-1) + 80% GIP (insulin sensitvity) Retatrutide ≈ 20% appetite supressant (GLP-1) + 70% GIP (insulin sensitivy) + 10% Glucagon (calorie burning) 🧵

@ktimesk @siimland Infrared can result in benefits but it might not get hot enough for all of the benefits. Finnish sauna might be a better choice. It got a sauna tent for something like 500 bucks. Heats up with some blankets that I put on top to over 180 degrees F.

@siimland What kind of sauna do you recommend? Infrared?

Here is the timeline of sauna benefits: 5-10 min - sweating starts 12 min - heart rate elevation 15 min - white blood cell count increases 15 min - growth hormone increases 20 min - cardiovascular benefits kick in 20-30 min - heat shock protein response 30 min - blood sugar reduction 30 min - insulin sensitivity improves 30+ min - risk of dehydration 60+ min - excessive loss of minerals 60+ min - risk of heat shock Based on a temperature of 70 C - effects can be different at higher temperatures Optimal duration: 20-30 min max

@realAtlasPress You can be so open minded that your brain will fall out.

Karl Popper, this one is absolute gold

This reminds me of cognitive behavior therapy. One guy approaches a woman and gets rejected and then thinks say this is because he is ugly and unlikeable and will never find a woman. Another gets rejected and thinks say that the woman might be in a relationship or married. Both got rejected but one might feel worse about it than the other.

Even when you don't mean to, your thoughts are creating your reality. The story you tell yourself about who you are and what you deserve quietly shapes every decision you make, every risk you take and every opportunity you either reach for or walk past. Most people are running on a mental script they never chose and never questioned. Start paying attention to what you actually think about yourself. Then only think thoughts that are in your favour. Your mind is either building you or breaking you every single day. Choose deliberately.

Seriously though...for how many people with serious sleep problems do things like >eat grapes<, >eatkiwis<, "walk after meals" solve poor sleep? This sound more advice from a grandmother that might be well intentioned but perhaps not really useful. If you got a more serious problem with your sleep, perhaps you should rather consider going to a sleep specialist than trying thing like eating grapes before bed.

Poor sleep kills you faster than smoking, cancer or aging. Here are 9 doctor cheat-codes for the best sleep of your life: 1. Eat grapes before bed.

@femiiiszn It also might not take much. If you can read say 30 pages in an hour, reading for one hour a day could result in 900 pages a month. 3-4 books a month perhaps, could be 40 books a year.

read more books. read to escape reality. read to understand reality. read to challenge what you believe. read to think better. read to write better. read to argue better. read to know yourself. read to build something. a single book can completely rewire your brain.

@metabolic_print I actually tried aspirin. Did not notice anything. It this a long-term thing? Should I continue for weeks?

Collagen, red light, progesterone, vitamin E, aspirin Thank me later

@SahilBloom A former co-worker once bragged about how much more money he made than some person at a bank...but he also worked from morning to evening, maybe 8 am - 8 pm. What life is this? I would rather be the guy in the bank. Less money but more freedom.

What’s something people think is a flex but actually isn’t?

@TheJoeySwoll From my own experience: A walk on a sunny day can be helpful. Temporary solution, but I felt better. Probably the combination of sunlight plus walking.

@Tim_Denning This might be a general problem people have. Losing weight has to be quit, hence the crash diets rather than playing it long. Business success has to be quick as well. Getting answers to complicated questions? Well, quick google search rather than doing research and reading books

The long game is ignored by 99% of people. Social media tells you that you can get any goal in a few days or have a Claude Bot do all the work for you. People are gullible so they believe it. Which means instead of putting in the work, they believe their success is only a matter of time and they'll start this summer. Then they try for 30 days and quit. Or never start. Playing long games with a high rate of iteration allows your results to compound. I personally only focus on goals that take decades. I'm 12 years into writing daily. Last 2 years my results exploded. Long games work if you ignore clickbait.

@CoachDanGo Many people might underestimate other benefits that come from weight loss except looking better. Some might be more motivated if they indeed could sleep better, feel better, have more energy...

Before working together, Cliff had a terrible diet & zero structure while being deprived of sleep. In 6 months, we dropped 44 lbs while losing 6 inches off his waist. His sleep habits have improved & now he has so much energy he feels like he's in his 20s again.

Some people have a future version of themselves but they might also not be willing to give up the current version of themselves to become what they could be

@TheK_Nox But that might be the issue really. The future self yes, but the current self is asking for something else perhaps and many people put more weight on the current self..

Go to the gym. Lift those weights. Eat well. Your future self is begging you to do it.

@PathOfMen_ I remember an instance when I worried about the worst case scenario: What if I get a bad grade, how will this effect my final grade...and then I got a good grade. But even if I had gotten a bad one...how would that worrying have prevented it anyway? Might just be wasted time.

Don't forget to overthink the best case scenario.

@TurkPulse He looks unhealthy. He might be just as unhealthy as a fat person. He looks better but his heart might not care too much whether he 150 kg of muscle or mostly fat.

@Freonat depressed + manic = Bipolar perhaps. Even the sleepy part could be explained by that since depression might possibly also reduce your energy.

What's it called when ur depressed and sleepy throughout the day but manic and hyperactive at night

@hpfounder Well being uncomfortable is something than can be beneficial not just to delay aging possibly. Getting a degree, starting a business, approaching a person you are interested in...how many people do regret their life because they wanted to stay in the comfort one?

If you want to delay aging, you can't be comfortable. Lift the heavy weights. Do the cardio despite how you feel. Eat the healthy foods when cravings say otherwise. Keep learning when your brain wants to watch Netflix. Your body is constantly battling for easy. You can't let it.

@metabolic_print There is evidence that a ketogenic diet could improve depression. If depression is related to impaired energy this would make sense. Perhaps because a ketogenic diet improves metabolism.

@thegarybrecka What might get the day rolling: Cold bath or cold shower. Can give a good burst in energy and mental clarity, remove tiredness. It might only take a minute.

Here is your Wednesday morning checklist... 1️⃣ Water before coffee. 16oz minimum. 2️⃣ Outside for 10 minutes of natural light before anything else. 3️⃣ Protein at breakfast. At least 30 grams. 4️⃣ No phone for the first 30 minutes. 5️⃣ One thing written down that you will do for your health today. Anyone can show up Monday. Show up today.

@Ishita_Sharma42 You do not get such a body just because of money. The difference between the two likely also includes different diet, workout, a more healthy lifestyle

Money matters 🙌
