my favorite way to recover from over-socialising is to spend an hour or two in front of the computer. It can be even at the party - as long as nobody comes to me and talks.

seems like a clear path to get bad teeth - even eventually the enamel will be destroyed by acid

Kennedy: We choose to go to the Moon

I read it every day and comment once in a while.

I also post links sometimes, not often.

For Russians - m Russian - it's clear from my name that I'm a girl. not sure about non Russians.

the other good part is that after a while, your body gets used to it and you kinda get addicted. If I skip my yoga sessions, I start craving for them.

stretching your wrists and forearms (their inner sides) can also be a good help in fighting this kind of pain (speaking from experience)

everyday stretching + yoga for 15-20 min in the end of the day has eliminated my backpain pretty much completely

I do not do anything special DURING the day except occasional (1-2 times a week) yoga sessions for 30-40 min at lunch

I was surprised to see that so little exercise had such a big impact on my well-being.

thanks for sharing the experience!

How long did you stay on this diet?

I am on high protein diet (proteins in grams ~= my weight in pounds) and I take a fiber supplement to make sure I am Ok on the bathroom side of the things. I noticed I need to take more fiber (27-30 grams, which is above recommended 25 grams) comparing to the days when I do not eat a lot of proteins.

I wonder how much fiber one needs to take when on ketogenic diet.

I am surprised nobody talked about Text tool and action recording.

I also use Photoshop CS2 (which Abobe started giving away about 3-4 years ago), and oh boy is its Text tool much more advanced. CS2 was released in 2005 and the latest version of Gimp (2.8.10) still cannot compare :( From my point of view, working with text is a pain in Gimp :(

Also, action recording - I think it is a highly valuable feature for anyone who processes at least 1 photo a week. It seems now so inefficient to repeat the same 4-5 steps again and again and again.

IMO, it's the price.

They want about $40USD per picture of 72dpi, which is waaaaaaaaay overpriced. On Shutterstock, you can get 2 images for $29 with the most expensive plan (not sure about the resolution, though).

No wonder they failed.

yeah, and it is still marked as NEW in their photo search IU :-|

They want about $280USD per picture of 300dpi, which is waaaaaaaaay overpriced. On Shutterstock, you can get 2 images for $29 with the most expensive plan.

No wonder they failed.

> Having seen how hard many poor people above the age of thirty work....

so agree with you!

poor people often work even more than rich because their salary is low and they have to take extra hustle just to make the ends meet.

Getting a decent salary, which allows getting out of poverty, may free up quite a lot of time.

> "rich" that we discuss here have managed to over leverage themselves such that they have to work hard to meet obligations

agree again :) I think they just carry take a lot on their shoulders just because they like to (thus they "have managed to over leverage themselves ")

I am not sure I understand where you took your numbers from.

Regardless, you compare apples to oranges. I believe it is HIGHLY incorrect to compare the number of homeless people from cities located in DIFFERENT countries.

Comparing to the US, Canada has much stronger social policies including financial aid and free health care that lead to a smaller number of people sleeping on the streets who ended up there because of financial troubles and losing their home/livelihood.

Quebec province is even better in this sense. In Montreal specifically, our hobos are mostly drunks and young people who had troubles at home.

Here are the numbers of people experiencing homeless state on a given night:

Canada: 35,000 / 35,749,600 = 9.8/10k [0]

USA: 56,4708 / 320,090,857 = 17.64/10k [1]

Winters do not keep homeless people away from big cities. They just hide in warmer places like metro or underpasses.

I live in Montreal, Canada, which is even more up north than NYC. That's what our homeless guys are doing when it's freezing outside.

These are great suggestions! I loved reading them because I do like to run and think it is good for health.

I will keep trying and adjusting.

BTW, do u run on snow? Jogging is my favorite winter activity hehe. I run up to -25C (-13F).

I am curious to hear if you have any experience running in winter.

It might have been the case... like 30 min minimum every day

thanks for your advices!

I did not try to change the shoes or see a therapist. I also think I tried to run too often/much, like min 30 min every day :-|

yeah I should definitely try that! I started doing burpees and realized I am very bad at squatting :(

at some point in the beginning of the year, I did change my strike and it helped. I started leaning forward while running and it changed the strike to the forefoot one.

But recently I developed a new kind of pain... it happens when I bend my knees. The worse part it now hurts even if I cycle longer than 10 min! :(

I guess I will keep digging on this subject. Thanks for your advice anyway!

it's good - as long as your leg joints do not tell you the opposite nd it's too bad when they do :(

I wish the history forgets white men once in a while.. .so far, it never happened

I think ruling a country was a load too heavy for his shoulders.

these were fun times.... Wind of change and absence of Putin

why??? maybe because it's a risky sport???

thanks for the suggestions!

how long did it take you to see changes with IF? I have been doing it maybe about 6 months already...

meanwhile, will go and read leangains.com :)

sounds too good to be true - or you must be walking a LOT every day!

heh so agree with you! What else do u do in addition to fastening?

in my case (see my other comment in this thread) I do not feel it gives me any benefits in terms of body, only psychological ones.

I am trying intermitted fasting: fasting 14-15 hours daily and up to 22 hours occasionally. Do not see any changes in my body at all.

What it did help with was curbing my occasional binge eating, reducing cravings, and helping to realise that I do not need all time and I won't die if I go without a food for a while :) While these were great psychological consequences, nothing changed on the physical side :(

what am I doing wrong?

I also count calories but I have a cheat day every week. I feel intermitted fastening is a bit overrated and not super useful without other pats like the ones you mentioned.

it's very simple - this approach drives sales. It would be surprising if the food companies did not tap into our very natural feeling of not liking hunger

8-10 of not eating is really nothing, barely covers the sleeping period
