‘I don't want to be at work making someone else rich. I want to spend those remaining 30 years enjoying myself and bringing happiness to those in my life’
How do you expect to live out those 30 years without working consistently? Do you have means of enough passive income ?
Oh yes. Its a drastic cut in calories from what these participants consume normally. 800kcal is probably not sustainable long term unless you weigh 90lbs and are sedentary. This is just a quick fix. In the end these people need a lifestyle change and a diet they can stick to indefinitely.
This sounds to be marketed as some scientific potion to cure diabetes or at least rid the need of medication. All it comes down to is cleaning up your diet (e.g. eating the right amount of calories for your body and eating nutrient rich foods). There's no one diet fits all but getting a good balance of proteins, carbs, and fats is all this is doing for these people. NHS is simply doing the leg work. I control my weight by counting calories and macro-nutrients. If people could figure out how to do that own their own we'd see a huge decrease in Type 2. It's true, a cleaner diet tends to be more expensive and requires more work than the convenience of a fast food diet - but at the the end of the day we're trading diabetes so we can be lazy with our diet and health.
So essentially pairing Firecracker with Lambda will reduce Lambda down to a simple trigger that can spin up one of these VMs where before Lambda ran the code?
