  1. @Wilm lol I forgot the water part
  2. @Valium I've also heard interesting things about Ketamine in relation to depression aid. But maybe be careful about throwing out suggestions what ppl should do Maybe you meant it in a manner that, do research and talk to people about it, and then perhaps consider doing it.
  3. "I'm sorry for my bad English." Capital letter for languages. Haha, I am struggling with improvement of grammar too. (feel free to correct me ;P) @dmc3dante Waoow. Such powerful. Very argument. Taking pictures of a random propaganda book, without mentioning name and author, and expecting people to not apply critical thinking when considering your post. Yes, I am a tad defensive about this, and that is because I am sick of the beaten to death propaganda about weed. It's not my intention to be aggressive though. Fun fact: The reason cannabis became illegal was never about the concern for human health. It was about a person owning business in paper, and not wanting competition. (The cannabis plant can be processed into hemp, which in turn can become a form of paper, only that it is stronger then normal paper.) (Video isn't perfect, music and audio are a little bit annoying, but it's a decent enough compilation.)
  4. And in 5 years, lets have online Live lessons one day a week, when the forum is big enough to finance the time Leo puts in. Through ads or a small fee or whatever. :DDDDDDDD
  5. No likes. +1. The genuineness I perceive from Leo was the mortal blow that caused me to follow his content.
  6. It's probably a direct result from the declining attention-span humanity is getting, due to vines, facebook etc. Quick titillation. I personally enjoy the length, I feel like you're not just warming up, but also getting in the real exercise. Roflcopter.
  7. @Ayla Hm okay. So this is the only place where we should recommend products that we enjoy, and have no financial connection to?
  8. @marcbro Algae, interesting. Why? How did you learn about it and what is the benefits you've read. Yeah, I had one earlier that broke and wasn't that good at getting the desired mixing. Now, I have one that cost around 65 dollars. Been nominated and won in a lot of tests, I'm quite darn happy with it.
  9. This is not a book I've read, but it is a book that I've heard a lot of people had positive feedback on. Sex at Dawn by Christopher Ryan.
  10. You're right. There's actually no proof that the brain is the source for the appearing thoughts. But this is currently the model to which I'm estimating has the highest possibility of being accurate.
  11. Happy to hear that. I was too never really concerned with doing it for weight loss*, it was primarily for health reasons. PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT. *Even though it was/is a motivator, to look better.
  12. I wrote this post here, It's relevant enough to be collected into this thread.
  13. @Ida My knowledge about the human body is not sufficient enough to address all the points you went through. However, I know that there has been a lot of advancements in science regarding this. The very magazine that initiated the war on fat, TIME, has come out with a different narrative: I can however refer to another comment in another thread, regarding cholesterol:
  14. Troubleshooting - How To Not Fuck Up In Life
  15. Hi Ida Might check it out if I have time. In turn, I recommend the website I mentioned if you want gather an understanding on the other perspective
  16. Man, I have love for cheese too. I know it sounds too good to be true, but yes. I challenge you to only eat fat cheese, and keep eating and eating. NO CARBS MIXED IN THOUGH. Exactly. Which is what I described, with a simplification. Insulin blocks leptin, and makes you feel still hungry. Well.. Yes. But thats the same as saying: "If you keep drinking water, it will damage your health". While it is indeed a true thing, there is a reason as to why you do not do it. A functioning body, that has its natural diet in reach, has regulatory mechanisms. Accept the challenge of keep eating fat and keep eating, and then document to me your own anecdotal evidence bro
  17. True love needs no fucking contract that is enforced by the state, and afterwards charge you for this fine service?
  18. Yes. However, it is generally said that you can drop the neurotic count of calories if you follow the guidelines for this diet. There is a hormone called leptin, which is a hunger related hormone. A little bit simplified: If you eat fat and not carbohydrates, the hormone leptin will function as normal and you will feel too "full" to engage in dysfunctional eating habits. Interesting question: Can you think of any other animal that needs to contemplate the amount of food it eats, so as health damage doesn't occur? (If its natural diet is within reach)
  19. Hey man. I've had my periods of just being a lazy stoner, for days in a row. NOT FUCKING SAYING THAT WEED IS BOUND TO MAKE YOU LAZY, THE TYPE OF WEED: SATIVA, IS A FUCKING VITAMIN FOR THE MIND. Ok maybe a little exaggerated, but still. Sick of this shit that people is propagating. A consideration I think you should perhaps do is to change the mental outlook on weed. To see it as a ritual that is associated with adoration, and not lower it's meaning to something that is a everyday thing. But I don't really know. Remember that it's different for everyone.
  20. Hello lovely people. I'm just a tiny voice of dissent in this. <3 Note: I do not consider myself an expert in this. I am currently eating a "diet" called LCHF, short for Low Carb, High Fat. (Think of how humanity ate before 10 000 years, before we rolled out the serious farming) This is a diet consisting of a tribute to what the human animal has eaten for millions of years. (Our species has been around for about 3.5 million, with the most evolved versions dating to around 200 000 years.) An exceptional resource for more information about LCHF, is www.dietdoctor.com. This website is driven by a doctor who previously believed the propaganda about saturated fats, and got sick of the constant worsening his patients condition, leading to a paradigm shift that ultimately resulted in helping A LOT of people achieve very tangible results. (Such as: losing weight, throwing away the need for 12 pills a day, managing diabetes. And overall much better vitality.) What got me hooked on this website is the seemingly rigorous aspiration for objective truth. This website has no financial support from any organisation, or government. (One final thing about it, I am mostly on the Swedish version for this website, but I can only imagine that the English version is as good, if not better) According to my research: No, meat in itself is not dangerous for you. Yes, there are bound to be many different studies, with many different results (that easily could be influenced by the agenda of whom is conducting the study) however my conclusion from looking over this is as stated above. The influence factories have and how the preparation and storage is done however, is another story. From a global perspective concerning the health of the planet, I believe for sure that our consumption of meat is NOT all dandy and fine. But this goes for the same with the industrial farming of crops, destroying lands, according to studies I've read. Finally, I'm always striving to learn, to be open. Love to hear different non-defenisve, non-overemotional attached perspectives. Also: I disagree on the idea that eating a certain life-form that you can't empathise with, just simply because it happen to not express instincts of survival that you can pickup with your human senses, is more noble and makes you a more enlightened person.
  21. I drink this as daily as I can. The crazy thing about this, is how good it makes me feel LIKE 10 SECONDS AFTER. Seriously. This is not placebo. It feels like it has to be the healthy microbe-flora showing appreciation.
  22. From what I've understood, tantra is a sexual act where you're having sex for like hours without finishing?
  23. I can sympathise rather hardcore with this. One piece that comes to mind is a tip leo suggested: Don't study for grades. Study for knowledge. This may be easier said then done, because sometimes it just feels so utterly irrelevant. But if you can work on the ability to not think so much that you're in a class, and learn because you find the parts of how life works fascinating, then it might take away the dreaded feeling of forced information processing.
  24. By the way, I laughed my ass off when leo first outed the term chimpery. XDDDDDDDDDDDD pure chimpery. So cute with chimps that think that they are so evolved, dressing up in monkeysuits and shit.
  25. Interesting read. Marriage is something I've never really considered that much. I've always had kind of a weird feeling towards marriage though. I don't think it will happened anytime soon for me. But at the same time, maybe it will indeed seem as a natural progression when you're in heavy-duty serious long term relationship later in life.
