As a skinny guy I feel like losing weight is the easiest thing in the world, and I'm so mind fucked as to how so many people find it difficult. How hard is it, truly... to eat just vegetables and meet your caloric intake at 1000-1200 calories a day?

On the topic of teaching @Leo Gura how does Actualized.org feel after burning yourself out, It's kinda a sweet and sorrow blog post IMO. Does it feel less worth it now? Was there a different way of doing it all along? or perhaps a different way now that we live in 2023 for us starters. You also said you're making your own video game so doesn't that just add more weight to this 'burning out' thing? You're saying this in the midst of me rethinking how I'm gonna live my life and whether or not I should start my own company, and even though it was obvious that you worked hard I'm thinking of people who built unicorns and billion dollar companies, wasn't it much worse for them? e.i Disney, Jensen Huang, Larry page. What I'm trying to say is that If it was so bad for you then how bad was it for them? Something tells me that many of these people didn't necessarily have to be on the same burn out level as you are on right now. It really seems that none of these successful people ever expressed any regret in what they did with their lives. If I recall correctly Steve Jobs said "This was the most fun thing I ever did" in his thank you/goodbye letter. It's Interesting to see how life works, a balance of killing yourself and healing it back. you had to build a business and If you didn't you'd suffer, but now you're suffering because you built it, for a completely different reason. I'm sure you'd experience burn out even if you worked at McDonalds up to this point.

I get headaches and eye pain from driving a car for more than one hour Maybe you are too tense

It's crazy how human centered religion is when it really doesn't have to be.

Such a shame. I could use some dark chocolate in my diet

Baseless speculation

Molly is what you're looking for young traveller

So what was the conclusion to this thread, should we all just eat dark chocolate under 'safer choices' like Mast and Ghirardelli or what? Is there a way to make dark chocolate ourselves without as much lead and cadmium?

Alright, I'll try to make a shake, cut the oats to 50g, and throw out the greek yogurt. I'll try to improve with including Quinoa, buckwheat, millet, couscous, lentils, beans, chickpeas

I used this tool https://cronometer.com/#diary to calculate how much vitamins, lipids, minerals and proteins each food has. And I was surprised at how much food it actually takes to meet all of your nutritional needs. I made 2 experimental diets just to see which foods contain the most nutrients. Despite these 2 insanely big diets that nobody would actually eat, they still wouldn't provide enough nutrients necessary. Everything encircled in red is IMO lacking, everything outlined with blue seems way too high What am I doing wrong? should I just up all my vegetable intake past to 150-200g ??? up my intake overall? Diet #1 Nutrients from diet #1 Diet #2 Nutrients from diet #2

I tried Implementing a high calorie breakfast (overnight oats) to eat daily so that I can gain more weight and optimally reach 70kg. But It didn't work out, my body felt fine including my stomach, I wasn't bloated but I did experience minor head discomfort and brain fog (not necessary a headache) I experienced the same thing on peanut butter. I think my body has a hard time processing all this combined food instantly. I'm definitely going to cut out the oats entirely and keep the chia seeds and nuts. - 350ml Water - 100g greek yogurt - 100g rolled oats - 30g / 1 oz almonds / hazelnuts / walnuts - 30g / 1 oz chia seeds - 30g / 1 oz vivo life protein powder - 1 big banana (added after) comes to around 1000 calories, a very dense cereal. I have to say I have an extremely hard time hitting my caloric intake and especially my carbs, I have to eat 2230 calories daily to reach my ideal weight and I just find it insane. I can barely get to 1000

MacBooks are def better for most people, the average person doesn't need or want the ability to jailbreak their system. However I bought a M1 Pro MacBook Pro for €2500 and I kinda regret it. I like Windows for its versatility. The biggest problem I have with Apple is their abusive pricing strategies, I'm going back to Windows once my Mac stops working.

Chia seeds seem to be one such food, is it safe to it 30g of it daily? It has a lot of omega 3s & vitamin K. I heard that over eating nutrients from food is less toxic than over doing a supplement e.x omega 3 supplement. Sometimes chronometer gives me the color red to highlight that I'm over doing it with a specific nutrient

The answer to attracting women is being happy without them, —personal experience.

Last good one I watched was The Last of Us I don't really like movies, they're too short and I appreciate a longer story. 2 hours is simply not enough for me. However a series can also be unreasonably long like Game of Thrones where they fill 10 seasons with just dialogue (wtf?), I think there's a sweet spot somewhere in the middle. And at the same time, many writers and directors have a hard time not fucking up the story by making it longer. It's hard to be original when you consume so much movie content.

Just asking, I'm quite bold myself when it comes to where I go so developed asian countries like Japan, Taiwan & China are always a possibility for me. But India? Nepal? How do you even move from place to place? they barely have roads in those countries.

Title says it all, I'm ordering my #2 batch of books and I thought Ambition would be a nice thing to read about. Biographies accepted

Where did you get the balls to go to such rural countries?

What's up with psychedelics and shitting yourself

I wouldn’t date 99% of women with mental disorders including narcissism. It’s like paying the same price for used and damaged vs new. I’m sorry.

Thanks man, are you a librarian??

Beta male move Should've told her to piss off and get therapy.

That's because charismatic extroverted people are usually dumber on average, guess who's on top of every company? guess who, even as an employee manages to do the least work and still get paid the most. Extroverted Charismatic people, these people are not smart per se. But they are resourceful, and they know how to deal with humans. Add in the fact that these people are usually very disagreeable which makes them more decisive. That's not a formula for success, but it sure is better than being a bum who never even starts a business.

without listing many obvious people who qualify, what are your thoughts on this common pattern? I've also heard that there is truth within mathematics, which surprised me.
