Update: I tried a 30-rep set of squats with my regular warm-up weight (135 lbs) the other day as per @AJA_Cortes' recommendation

1) was super-winded after
2) kinda felt a little pukey
3) omg leg/quad pump
4) now: legs sore af

@AJA_Cortes In reflection, I should've worked up to that from my usual 10-rep sets (working up to doubles/triples)

🤡 Practically every single cell in your body synthesizes cholesterol yet carnivores are telling you to get more dietary cholesterol from steak and eggs so you can make testosterone and vitamin D.

Just overheard: "the intermittent fasting people on Twitter are the only ones who think skipping breakfast in the morning is better. The research shows tapering off food intake as the day progresses is healthier." No one is hungry in the morning, but gotta get that protein for the MPS & entraining circadian rhythms.

Family time at dinner is great but it doesn't have to be a feast or the biggest meal of the day, every day.

American Psycho (2000, amzn.to/3U7pwm3) is a pretty good book -> movie crossover. Most book -> movie crossovers don't go over well with original book readers. In the book (amzn.to/3VvHvDY) and film, Bateman is clearly insane and delusional. One of the final movie scenes where he frantically confesses to his lawyer he's killed 100s of people; in the book it's 1000's cuz a book isn't limited to 2 hours.

Make sure you know the context, what foods or diets are being compared.

Carnivore or vegan vs. healthy omnivore?

Big difference between that comparison and comparing any of them with UPF-rich SAD. ImageImage Also, some people heal and do great on higher carb diets by ditching UPFs and alcohol.

So is this really a comparison of low carb vs. high carb foods?

LC/carnivores always compare animal foods to ultra-processed junk foods.

Took Luna out for a nightly walk outside, with only one visible anomaly and no chem trails 😂

*note the baby-kitten-sized loose fitting harness ImageImage Loud motorcycle drove by in one direction, she slipped out of the harness and sprinted in the other direction, into oncoming traffic. I dove to grab her and roll out of the oncoming traffic. Knees look pretty bad, too. Image
