I recently worked on an extension to disable Facebook's news feed completely since I (and probably many others) mostly use it for chat and groups. Might be helpful for some people in the HN community! :)

I think fasting helps relax your digestive system. By drinking juice, you don't feel out of energy and still get some (many?) of the benefits of fasting.

Mostly non-fiction right now as my reading speed is slow and any good fiction book will probably take a lot of time.

I started by reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Reading it was such a wonderful experience that I have read 2 more books since then. (Started reading 3 months ago)

For me, it has been reading books. Although my reading speed is very slow right now (hopefully it will get better with time) but i still manage to read a book every month. So much to learn from them :)

From Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance <i> “The law of gravity and gravity itself did not exist before Isaac Newton." ...and what that means is that that law of gravity exists nowhere except in people's heads! It 's a ghost!" Mind has no matter or energy but they can't escape its predominance over everything they do. Logic exists in the mind. numbers exist only in the mind. I don't get upset when scientists say that ghosts exist in the mind. it's that only that gets me. science is only in your mind too, it's just that that doesn't make it bad. or ghosts either." Laws of nature are human inventions, like ghosts. Law of logic, of mathematics are also human inventions, like ghosts." ...we see what we see because these ghosts show it to us, ghosts of Moses and Christ and the Buddha, and Plato, and Descartes, and Rousseau and Jefferson and Lincoln, on and on and on. Isaac Newton is a very good ghost. One of the best. Your common sense is nothing more than the voices of thousands and thousands of these ghosts from the past.” </i>

One of the things I have found quite useful in loosing weight is to eat slowly. I sometimes observe people's eating habits and in general, obese people seem to be eating faster (sometimes as much as twice as fast) compared to average.
