like thats not something I’m deriding its just news to me
makes me wonder what this drug actually does, flush gut bacteria? just the right ones?
To answer your question, yeah turns out it was never about will power. Some people just had hormone drive to be healthier than others and finally we can pharmacologically start to level the field.
I’m lean but dont do that and can recognize the benefits. It would be cool if we could pharmacologically make that appealing too.
What if we could just continually swap in states.
Executive work mode, ah it feels so good to think and focus.
Empath mode, ah it feels so good to build relationships.
Brolic mode, ah it feels so good to think about working out, and actually work out!
In the meantime I would like that choice from a purely self preservation interest in being good at other bodily health and resource appropriations
Shouldn't take more than a bit of caffeine to get you moving at that point.
As to empath mode, you've just described MDMA. But it'd be nice if there were something a little less intense. That you could take weekly without frying your brain & was mild enough for family/work social situations. (And no, alcohol doesn't fit the bill).
appreciate the perspective but I want to be like the people that feel pulled to "find" it at all.
The high can be way better than you'd believe possible before you try. Or if you don't believe personal anecdote.. /something/ must be keeping all those people coming back to it at considerable expense, hassle and time.
but its pretty clear what I'm asking I don't have to keep re-explaining that, for thanks for chiming in.
- aim to either meet or exceed the previous workout, and consider that a success
- count reps so you can increase them 1 at a time until you're ready to increase weight
- for cardio, increase difficulty (incline/speed) until you're ready to increase distance
- set a longer term goal, too, like a body weight bench press or a 10 minute mile
- after doing this for a while, you might notice some differences in your appearance, which can be its own motivator
What a completely silly take away. It's like nature vs nurture it's not 100% one thing only.
As a very young child, my family was probably on the upper end of poor. "Treats" were rare and food was not anything to be wasted at all. I'm almost 50 now, and it's virtually impossible for me to throw away food. I have to have an inner monologue conversation with myself about whether I really need to finish my portion and whether it's OK to discard it. Needless to say, despite being very physically active, my weight has challenged me my entire life.
As a parent, I'm irrationally proud of my child for being able to stop eating when they're full, even if it's ice cream or a treat. That's actually helped me get over throwing food away (a little bit, at least)
- GLP-1 (semaglutide)
- optionally, that and also GIP (tirzepatide)
- optionally, both of those and also glucagon receptor (retatrutide)
But these hormones directly make you not hungry, among other things. They are probably some of the things that your gut bacteria manipulate to commandeer your behavior.
