+1 It may be more effective to directly jump into the swamp and see how it's like (with responsibility). Instead of trying to supress these desires.

If you wanna do daygame, I think the city itself doesn't matter that much, as long as it's big enough and there are central areas where lots of people pass by. You can even do game in the organic grocery shop - it's one of my faves, I just do it whenever I'm there and a hot chick is present. The point is, you gotta have enough mass of people, so you keep your abundance mindset. If you screw with one girl, there's "another bus every 15 minutes", as Corey Wayne would say. Then NL is the place for you, my friend. Hahaha great point. Loads of horny people there.

Hahaha love this. Great metaphor to weave into one's mental model. Never chase! Understanding this is like moving into tier 2 of the Spiral Dynamics of Attraction. That is how men have commonly been portrayed in the cinema and TV, especially in the last decades. Social norms in many countries expect the man to take initiative. This is different from chasing. It's just expressing more of who he is -- his desires. It's a masculine action, in that the man penetrates the world with his intentions and desires. Once these intentions and desires have been clearly expressed, there is no more "chasing" left to be done.

Good to hear and thx for the info! Just for the record, Calcium and Iron are recommended to be taken further apart, for absorption purposes. It seems your strategy is already accounting for it.

I'm currently reading: The International Vegetarian Union’s Nutrition Guide for Adults Recommended even if you're not vegetarian or vegan. It's packed with information, one of the authors is a doctor with decades of experience, who has treated thousands of both ominivores and vegetarian patients. I've consulted with him myself.

@Carl-Richard, have you done a metabolic panel to optimize this supplement stack? I will share what I know but I'm not a professional of the health domain. Of the B vitamins, I'm only aware of overdose by B6. Make sure to calculate the dose with all supplements containing it. That said, it would be best to actually measure you blood levels of these vitamins (and other relevant biomarkers such as homocysteine), to really optimize your levels. E.g., 40% of the adult population has B12 defficiency and replacement is done at much higher doses due to ileum receptor saturation, etc. Without actual measurement it's hard to know whether what you're doing is good or just wasting $$ --- Off-topic: Generally K1 and K2 have the same effect on the body, with K1 having a much shorter half-life. That said, if you eat greens multiple times per day supplementation with either K1 or K2 may not even be necessary (although likely not harmful at these levels). Calcium generally requires assessment of PTH levels + serum Inorganic Phosphate + Urinary Calcium (and maybe even more markers - for a comprehensive analysis). What's your diet -- have you tracked your Calcium intake with something like Cronometer to justify supplementation?

Consider developing a deep enough mental model for healthy food that prevents you from even desiring unhealthy food. Try deepening your understanding of metabolic pathways, epidemiological data, and other types of scientific evidence. As you develop a deeper conceptual model, use visualization to tie it to emotions and feelings, which will translate to sustainable behavior. Are the types of videos you are watching "shallow" (in the sense they talk generally about 'healthy food' without going through the metabolic pathways and epidemiological data, weaving concepts in your mind)? Seek for deep content. Deeply understand the harm that altered, synthetic foods cause to our bodies (and even to our sons and grandsons, via genetic reprogramming lasting generations to come). If open to it, you may deliberately tie your eating habits with a broader philisophy. E.g., vegetarianism or carnivorism. This will weave together otherwise separate facets of your worldview and deeply motivate you to keep patterns (of course, world views also come with costs/limitations). E.g.: "To live healthy is to honor our ancestors and descendants and all living beings on this planet." Follow people and read books related to health. Surround yourself with people who live healthly. In any case, the more content you consume the more healhy you will eat. And remember: doing what's right is never wrong

Microplastics, endocrine disruptors, insulin senstivity, adequate weight are also things to look into. Not a comprehensive list, just some ideas.

If you think it is too late, then it will be too late. If you think it is not late at all, then it won't be late at all.

Great share indeed. Thanks.

Interesting. @Natasha Tori Maru, what psychedelics/ROA and for how long is HRV lowered?

@Natasha Tori Maru, cheers on mastering your habits that much. This is quite amazing. Btw, I've bought the Withing's Sleep Analyzer, since I realized Garmin wasn't tracking my sleep that well. I can easily recommend that device. Currently, I'm also tracking all my food intake with Cronometer. I will report back once I gather more data.

These microgram scales are $20 bucks, better to use than to risk overdose. They indeed are not precise enough for dosing a single 5-MeO-DMT hit, but still better to be on the safe side and use both volumetric as well as weight measurements. Once you have the scale, you can weight several volumetric measurements to have an average of what you get with your micro scoop.

This is from Leo POV how an e-scooter ride looks like.

Cheers. Btw, I just bought this two-layer steaming pot. It makes steaming large and diverse quantities of vegetables even easier. If you have the clockieren, you can even put it at the base and boom -- three-layer steaming. It's handy, for instance, for broccoli, where you wanna steam the stalk much longer than the florets.

@LoneWonderer, can you pls share the nutritional contents of the low-sodium salt you're using? PS: Nutritional Yeast is yet another alternative for flavoring food.

I've been tracking all my food intake with a food scale and the Cronometer app, for the last two weeks. It's been a great experience to get a deeper intuition not only on macro but also micronutrients, especially if you're into optimizing food ratios (e.g., Carbs:Fat, Omega 3:Omega 6, etc.). I'll share my Cronometer report below so you can see how it looks. Cronometer.pdf PS: I did not include the mineral and vitamin supplements I use in there, just protein supplements. But Cronometer has that option too. You can scan the label and if it's already registered it's even easier to log the food.

I'm also curious to see if those types of devices actually work to increase HRV. In the meantime, I bought a new Garmin watch (my current one is quite old, no HRV) to track it. I guess first it's interesting to keep track of measurements for a while (as a baseline) before trying out the intervention. And the intervention can be what @Yimpa very sensibly suggested above, i.e.

Great video!

Every day I take my food container full of cooked lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, and other veggies. I take it with me, leaving it off the fridge for about 6 hours until I eat it later in the day. In my case I package these containers right after cooking, so they should be mostly void of microbes. The case would be different for the type of food. E.g., yogurt would probably be quite bad by then. PS: If you are unsure whether something is rotten, your senses can give you a hint. Does it smell bad? Does it taste bad? Does it look bad? Nature has made us with most tools required to filter out non-nutritive or poisonous food.

Quoting GPT: it’s still classified as a processed meat, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meats like sausages, ham, and bacon as Group 1 carcinogens—meaning there’s strong evidence they can cause cancer, especially colorectal cancer. So while fewer additives is better, the process of curing, smoking, or preserving meat is what makes it risky, regardless of how “clean” the label looks. Yes, I agree. I meant more as a general rule. One would have to clean their taste by eliminating junk before using it. And even then it would be more a rule of thumb with non-complete overlap.

The irony of the video is using raw veggies while adding heavily processed foods like sausage, full of preservative like nitrites. Shaking the perspective a bit, shouldn't we instead ask: what are there benefits to cooking? 1,500,000+ animal species in nature eat only raw food; 1 eats cooked food. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and many other cooking toxins are well-documented in the literature. @cistanche_enjoyer brings up relevant points about anti-nutrients and nutrient availability. One con of breaking down fiber by cooking is increasing the glycemix index of food (not a problem for veggies having a low caloric density, of course). Also, by cooking fiber, we make it less available to our gut microbiome. It's a balance. Only eating cooked food is more likely to starve the healthy bacteria in our gut, which is already in fragile circumstances for the average person. The cooking method as well as the food you cook matter. Avoid high temperatures, especially combined with dry heating methods, that will tend to form the highest concentration of AGEs (especially for food high in fat and protein, like meat). Prefer cooking methods that preserve nutrient content like steaming when possible. And, when possible (for the right foods), eat raw. The idea of eating raw food is not to try to eat anything raw, but to favor the foods that we evolved to eat: the ones we find naturally tasty: fruits, some veggies, nuts. Not all veggies are tasty and the fact that our body notices that is a hint that perhaps it should not be our main source of nutrients.

Let's brainstorm on the essence, the most foundational and abstract aspects of feminine and masculine energy. What are the major distinctions that better define these two concepts? To start, here is a board I found in my old notes. What would you add or modify?

Coming late to the party, but let me share some quotes that I have in my personal notes that I think apply to women too: Be who you want to attract. (values and actions) Attraction is not a choice. Positive and fun vibes. People tend to project their attraction level onto the other person. (self-deception)
