During all that is when I discovered the importance of a healthy microbiome. Something hardly any doctors talk about. Optimizing my gut health has been a total game changer. I lost 20% of my body weight and am at a normal BMI. I have no cravings, addictions of any kind, and sleep like a baby. Don't get tired like a lot of people I know who are the same age. Also my eyes improved 3 prescription levels to the good making glasses optional. Prior to that I had the same prescription for the past 10 years.
Call me crazy or whatever but I am completely reformed as to how I eat. It's definitely not a placebo. I don't believe in any of the all or nothing extreme fad diets. I do think eating all meals within a 4-8 hour window is definitely worthwhile with a day of no food every now and then.
It made him smile because his penny ante video poker and red green blackjack play barely rates for a free hot dog. If he even played rated, which he can't figure out what his story is, alternating between "I have never played rated" to, "Yes I have played rated."Quote:

Each year I run about 14 different blood / urine tests. Once in a blue moon, 4 additional. My doctor keeps saying "you don't need to do all that," but I insist, and I do them anyway. One needle stick anyway, just takes a bit more time to draw more tubes.
I didn't see any change in anything between a year ago's results, and this year's.
Where I expected to see change were in the
Lipid Panel w/ Chol/HDL Ratio
Lipid Panel w/ non-HDL
but really - no difference to speak of. For example triglycerides about 60 a year ago, about 50 this year both tests (range 0 - 149). Cholesterol (total) about the same, and T. Chol/HDL Ratio still about 3.
Now, it could simply be that seafood like lobster and shrimp are just as high in cholesterol as red meat, but at this point I'm not willing to give those up, given that my levels are very good, just wanted to know if they would change when mammal flesh was removed from the equation. They really didn't.
As far as - do I feel better not eating red meat. Well, let's just say that I feel better "about" not eating red meat because I assume red meat is not as healthful as fish and poultry. And we do eat a lot of fish.
BTW the most important number for purposes of life insurance is that T. Chol/HDL Ratio - as long as it is 4 or lower, you get top tier lowest rates.
And also BTW, one way to lower your cholesterol and especially triglycerides "naturally" is by taking Niacin (not niacinamide, niacin). If you take the prescription medium speed time release variety (Niaspan https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9751239/ ) it flushes out over time, and doesn't give you that excessive burning flush. That's another thing my doctor said "you don't need" but I still got the croaker to write the script.
Discipline. The complete opposite of that swine UNKewlJ.

God you are an idiot, Mdawg. And a lying piece of shit til the end. Moses apologized for the nasty things he said over 10+ years. You just quoted it. What the fuck do you think he was talking about?
Moses is gone, may he rest in peace. I can say that, as well as wishing somebody like Moses and Seedvalue well, when they disclose, they are seriously ill because it is the decent thing to do. It doesn't mean I forgive them or have forgotten all the nasty shit and lies.
I never knew exactly what Moses's issue with me was. My issue with him was that when he came to Norm's forum, he started claiming he was a professional blackjack player and sports bettor, living and playing Reno. I knew that couldn't be. I was not completely sure about the sports betting, but a player just can not be a professional blackjack player playing only or based out of Reno. I have come to learn by experience that it is dangerous to play Reno at all, as after 10+ years of identifying and playing limits and a style that were well tolerated here in Vegas, a weekend trip to Reno resulted in consequences that began to unravel all that work and success. But that is another story.
So I guess Moses big issue was that I dared say, no that isn't right. You simply cannot play professional blackjack in or based out of Reno.
The big admission that Moses made, and it wasn't exactly on his deathbed, but sometime in the last year of his life, probably when he already knew he was sick, was that he had made $100,000 playing Reno over 10 years. THAT is NOT professional level blackjack or earnings. That is an average of $10,000 a year. Part-time, supplemental, supplementing retirement (which we later learned was what Moses story actually was). But 10K a year is not professional level blackjack play and that is what Moses claimed that I objected to. And THAT is what he admitted towards the end.
Now this part is speculation based on what I now know. Moses lived in California with his wife and owned and ran a business (something to do with blinds or window shades). He got divorced in his early 50's and moved to Reno. I don't know if he sold his business or closed his business, but after divorcing he was basically retired, early at a young age. This is about the time he showed up at Norm's forum making these claims. I think he thought that was going to be the next phase of his life, playing blackjack at some sort of professional level making....well I don't know what he thought he was going to make, but I am sure more than 10k a year. And he found out he couldn't do that....I am sure VERY quickly. Problem was he had already told everyone that is what he was doing and had done for some time. He just couldn't bring himself to say, "well yeah that is what my plan was, but I was unable to play for the money I thought in RENO", until the last year when he did pretty much say that.
I don't know why it escalated the way it did, and he got so nasty and personal with attacks, just because I said, you can't do what he claimed in RENO. But it did escalate. Just the same I don't know why Mdawg has escalated just because I have said you can't do most of the things he claims in Vegas. It is just not the way it works.
These guys from Singer to Mdawg to Moses, come out and make claims that equate to a fantasy story because they are claiming things that defy the way things work and when anyone, not just myself but anyone calls them on it, they get nasty, attack and lie. The only thing a little different about Moses was based on what I now know, I don't think he set out to lie and make up a fantasy story like Singer and Mdawg. I think Moses thought he was going to move to Reno and play blackjack for a living after his divorce, and for whatever reason, he jumped the gun, saying that is what he had already done or was doing. And then when he discovered that wasn't possible in Reno, he couldn't bring himself to come clean until that last year. And even then, he did it is sort of bits and pieces.
But anyway, enough about Moses. I don't understand why people need to make up some of the shit that they make up and do all the personal attacks that they do. That doesn't mean I can't and won't wish them well if they become sick and are passing away or something. It also doesn't mean that wipes away what they have said.
Watching gamblers try and say they've suddenly come to an epiphany about healthy living and eating is the same as lifelong smokers thinking their cold-turkey quitting in their 50's will somehow be rewarded with several decades of quality life.
There is only one way to realize a healthy life throughout your years: FROM THE MOMENT YOU LEARN TO SHOOT YOUR FIRST LOAD UNTIL THE DAY YOUR BODY SAYS "NO MAS!" eat properly, live properly, and exercise daily.
All the rest is noise.
Period.
And kew--you're a known and proven liar. Your lies about Moses just proves you don't like it.

You get enough exercise.
But as you start to get older and maybe that is 40's for some people, maybe 30's or 50's for others, you have to work a little and schedule and make time for exercise.
And the same goes for eating. You can get away with eating all that junk and garbage (and poison) when you are young. But as you get older, you need to start to work at, and educating yourself about eating healthier. There is nothing wrong with making these changes and education mid-life or even later in life.
There is some exercise involved with having to traverse all those tunnels, and push a shopping cart.

Do you expect to outlive your parents?
Do you expect to live after their death...do you expect to live more years than they did?
Is that something that you aspire to, or think that you can influence or control?
That is essentially intermittent fasting. I will definitely look more into the healthy microbiome stuff.Quote:

I did a similar thing and had a similar result. Let me educate you. The whole cholesterol thing has pretty much been debunked. More recent studies have shown that your diet, in the long term, has little influence on your cholesterol numbers. Also those lipid panel numbers don't mean much either. There are more advanced tests like cholesterol particle density/size that are more significant. But if you're really worried about your heart health go see a cardiologist and have a nuclear imaging/stress test done and be done with it. IMO anyone around 40 or over should consider doing it at least once.Quote:

Just for fun look up what happens when your total cholesterol is under 160 after the age of 80... no bueno!
I haven't really thought about that. They're in their 80's and my mom is in exceptional condition. She has always been into a healthy lifestyle though. I grew up not even knowing what Coke was and eating basically the way I am now. My mom still jumps on a trampoline everyday, hangs upside down on an inversion bar, and uses a wheel with her hands on the floor doing shit that you would think would kill an 80 year old ...lolQuote:

I doubt I live longer than she winds up lasting. My dad's grandma went to 106 or 7, I can't remember. I don't think I would want that. She lived in her house up until the end though with a great aunt living in with her for the last couple years.
I think you can do your best to try and take care of your health but a lot of stuff is luck of the draw. I'm mid 50's or so. I'm glad to be getting back on track. I spent 7 years on the comp train and pretty much just dusted off the appliances in my kitchen. Restaurants use a ton of seed oils and now I pretty much cut all oils out and I believe that makes a difference too. My earlier younger adult years were spent pretty well with the military. I have about a decade of neglect to overcome. I'm probably harder on myself than I need to be.
Big difference between eating all meals within a 4 hour window and eating all meal within 8 hour window. If you eat breakfast at 9am, lunch at noon-1pm and dinner at 5, a schedule many folks are on or close to, you are already within that 8 hour window (assuming you don't snack it up in the evening. :rolleyes:)Quote:

Bouts with this LPR reflux come and go and can last for weeks. Mucus, constant couching, my throat swells, sometimes trouble swallowing and even breathing, especially at night. This is because the acid that refluxes all the way to the throat as opposed to the esophagus (normal reflux) damages the sensitive throat tissue. Medication (acid reducing) helps, some, but not always. there is a surgery, but I am not ready for that yet.
So my primary Doc sent me to an acid reflex doctor and his very first advise was to eat all my meals within a 4 hour window and fast for 20 hours a day. I didn't care for this advice. That is a little too extreme for me. It is like you go to a doctor and say it hurts when I raise my hand and he responds well then don't raise your hand. That is what I felt the 4 hour window was.
Additionally, anyone who has diabetes (my partner did) is told to eat 4 or 5 meals throughout the day to help level blood sugar spikes. I don't have diabetes or anything but it just seems like the "eat all meals in a 4 hour window" contradicts other sound medical advice like spreading meals out to minimize blood sugar spike (even non diabetics have blood sugar spikes after eating).
So many situations like this. One remedy or medicaal advice is good for one thing but bad for other things.
You're not supposed to be eating foods that cause dramatic insulin spikes. If I eat 3 meals it's about 8 hours. The usual 2 late breakfast then early dinner is around 4 hours. If you don't have cravings you don't even think about snacking. My gallbladder problem maybe caused acid reflux or it was a separate problem I had for awhile. All that went away about 3 months into the Viome program.Quote:
