I spent 2021 trying this approach. With the exception of fish oil caps, whey protein, yogurt, and some occasion cheese I have no animal in my routine diet. I have eaten meat 15 times this year. I got my lab results yesterday afternoon. My cholesterol went from 206 to 166, triglycerides from 118 to 54, LDL from 121 to 81, and my glucose from 111 to 103 w/A1C at 5.2. Considering that I got 180+ grams of my protein per day from meat for over thirty years, I never thought I would take this approach, but it was much easier than I anticipated it would be.
I confess that I have managed to give myself a headache doing1 set of 5 reps of deadlifts at 85kg
I am also procrastinating studying for game theory exam by working on a game theory model
You study for that exam Anna! You must crush it!
Good to hear. I would be pushing near 250 a day of protein likely.
I just spent all the money I made working as a grader this semester on mumās christmas gift.
I do not regret it one bit.
I confess that 29% of the cost was for express shippingā¦
I confess that, Iāve typed up three or four smart ass posts regarding the silly fear of bad exercise form and how it may or may not correlate with low T, but opted to delete them all before posting.
Good, because everyone knows it correlates with high E2, not low T.
And today I ālearnedā what E2 is to understand the spin on that joke, haha.
I confess that Iāve just spent Ā£125 on an ultrasound gun to try and fix my rotator cuff despite being skint and purchased it rather than a replacement tyre for one thatās worn on my car
I confess Iām a SUPER PROUD papa right now: my 11 y/o daughter just called to say she qualified for the regional Christmas Invitational in the 11-12 y/o girlsā 50-yard breast stroke (her favorite!) after working so, so hard over the past three weeks to shave nearly two seconds off her previous best in that event.
Nice. Two seconds in three weeks is impressive.
I confess I didnāt think it was possible.
I confess I am very glad to have been wrong!
This features some of the funniest and stupidest shit Iāve seen recently. Discovered it because of a Dave Tate post. Laughed out loud when the guy was eating raw testicles.
Related confession: I fucking hate the phrases that go"yeah our ancestors this and that⦠We evolved from hunters and gatherers and thatās why your back hurtsā¦" And everything connected. Itās a very common theme. Have people that use those explanations ever heard of evolution?
I guess I posted this in the flame free section rather than āwhat made you chuckleā because if you take that guyās content seriously (and Iām not sure he is himself, I could imagine heās just capitalizing on a brand he built): I do not care.
Dudes been eating a ton of testicles and deca fo sho.
So much wow. People never cease to surprise me.
Soooo many incongruities. Just laughable.

I think the opposite. He has reached the level of crazy where you have to be fully committed. Like the Tiger King guy.
In fairness, we ARE all talking about himā¦
Oh for sure. I wasnāt implying that he markets himself poorly. He does in fact very well. Think about Dr. Seedman, the walking meme or even Dr. Hoorshig (or however you spell that dudeās name), who puts out less stupid stuff but is for good reason despised or laughed at in the realm of modern physios/ pain researchers and stuff.
They all might not create the most logical/ beneficial/ scientifically relevant and whatnot content but are exceptionally good at marketing themselves and their brand and gaining accolade-like followers and monetary success.
Stayed at ole girls house last night. Went to get my work boots and clothes out of my truck around 9:30 and apparently forgot to lock my truck. Came out to go to work this morning to a ransacked truck. Still havenāt figured out what alls missing but my beats are gone. Hoping my tools under the back seat are still there.
Tis the season for sharing!
