Even if this was true, it is definitely something you can work on. Both physically on the outside and spiritually on the inside in terms of self acceptance. This is not a disease or a handicap just a lack of experience and social exposure. Ca easily be fixed.

nice one

Not necessarily true if one wants to avoid renal and digestive issues. Sites aimed on muscle gain rarely consider health aspects of their recommended protocols @MarkusSweden regarding the creatine, while there are some benefits for sure, your body creates creatine phosphate from the food you eat and uses it to produce the ATP (available cellular energy) in mitochondria by adding an ADP group. This only works for 10-15 seconds of the strenuous exercise (this is the time between starting the exercise until feeling first hint of discomfort or pain) after which the aerobic (jogging/swimming) or anaerobic (sprinting, HIIT) respiration kicks in depending on the activity type. Unless you are a professional athlete needing to get an edge during the initial 10-15 secs and potentially adding 2-3 seconds to it, supplementing creatine will only result in excess creatinine (byproduct of muscle metabolism) accumulation which puts stress on your renal filtration. P.S. the chart below explains the utilisation of creatine phosphate during exercise nicely.

Way to go !!

There is no definite answer to that but here are some useful tips for you adding a bit of fat (olive oil, ground seeds, nuts, tahini...) on the top ensures that fat-soluable vitamins (A,D,E,K) are properly digested and stored by the liver. add herbs such as oregano, basil, corriandet, thyme or one of those mixed herbs spices to boost flavout and antioxidant properties you can stir-fry the veggies for a little while to help break down the cellular wall, although this may kill a little bit of enzymes and vitamins play around with sauces. Blend couple ingredients together and see what you come up with, make sure to combine sweet, salty, sour and something to "carry the taste" like tahini or mustard. popular ingredients (figs, dates, vinegar, lemon, tahini, miso, mustard, olive oil, salt, red peppers, garlic, onion) squeeze a bit of lemon on top to protect from oxidation while stored in fridge and to help with Iron absorbtion avoid adding fast-digested fruits like mangos or mellons with your veggies because these require little time to digest and will have to "sit and wait" in your stomach till the veggies are mixed&churned up leading to bloating and fermentation. Same reason one sould never eat high source of protein with a fruit or high source of carb. Cool tip When eating broccoli, pre-chop it first and let it the pieces sit together for 30 minutes before steaming or cooking. The damage to the plant will ensure that an enzyme myrosinase will combine with glucosinolates in the plant to create Sulphorophane, a powerful compound that has anticancer properties and is the main reason why broccoli is considered a superfood. This stuff actually helps prevent a toxic damage from a polluted environment. Once this is created, it will not be destroyed by cooking. Cooking the broccoli as a whole will kill the myrosinase so the reaction cannot take place.

good point ! they still turn acidic AF though

it can be, depends on how it is grown. That's why I advocated Sun Chlorella because it is one of the most pristine on the planet. I would never buy chlorella or spirulina from an unchecked source, way too much shit going on in that business.

Nothing wrong with playing every once in a while. Once the new Elder Scrolls comes out , I know that my old addiction I burried with Skyrim will kick in for a week after which I'll get sick of it and probably never come back again.

yeah, many of us could relate to this. But know that it doesn't have to be like that forever. Accept where you are now and do so by using up all your available time to transition to something else. Do a weekend school, use mornings and evenings and your lunch breaks, do an online study, read ....whatever it takes. You need to start building up your skills to do the thing you really want to do. If you haven't already, create a vision board and post it to multiple places around your house, make sure that it is a powerful one to give you goosebumps every time you look at it. There is not much you can do about being in your current situation besides getting into another, similar one but by spending time working on your real dream carrier, you will receive a boost of positive energy and much better hope for your future self. Useful next steps for you in summary: Break down your daily schedule into 20 minute blocks and see how much are you able to dedicate to self education. Remove as many "wasted blocks" as possible and replace them with productive ones. Identify 3 things this year that you will start doing that will move you forward and do these in your dedicated blocks of time (see above) Create a powerful vision board (you probably have one from the LP course) and stick it everywhere, put a small copy in your purse as well. start doing a 5 min daily visualisation practice of your future self that has escaped this life and lives her dream career Read at least 2 books a month. exercise regularly - this will be especially helpful when you depressed. 10 minutes of rope skipping or 20 minutes of jogging will work wonders to your mood.

Kills vitamins and enzymes. Some veggies are more resistant to that than other + frying on oil is dangerous and unhealthy regardless on what you fry. Fun fact: Frying tomatoes turns them so acidic that they break down some of the pan surface which you then consume -> this may lead to Alzheimer's development.

@Charlotte you may also try Sun Chlorella as an alternative. Also good on Vitamin D and B12. They may be a bit pricey but 1500 pieces will last you for a while. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sun-Chlorella-Pack-1500-Tablets/dp/B0011UJCWK/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1536751080&sr=8-3&keywords=sun+chlorella 10 of these tablets will get you around 3mg portion of iron which I believe is quite close to daily requirement for females (3-4)? This product is Highly absorbable as they use a powerful blending technique to break the cellular wall. Company is based in Kyoto, Japan and is probablu one of the highest quality Chlorella in the world cultivated in very tightly controlled environment unlike some crappy Chinese Chlorellas. If you top it up to like 20 a day, I'd say your values get back pretty quickly unless there is something else going on.

To connect with your followers on a bit more personal level

Usually, any social anxiety is a negative belief or some sort of "demon" hidden on the inside. An experience in the past such as being ridiculed by a girl or being seen without pants on or being the "ugly kid" at school or even severe ones like being molested by a father or raped.....you know what I mean. These may create a life-long avoidance of certain situations that could lead to it repeating itself and the person having to re-live the unpleasant experience. I'd suggest first of all you work on figuring out what the deep issue is by starting to journal on a notepad or contemplate in your mind. Reserve a time of 30-60 minutes a couple times a week, put all distractions aside and focus 100% on this thing. I think Leo had a video called "uncovering your childhoow vows" that could also help you as well as the "contemplation" videos. Meditation is also gonna be helpful to calm your mind and help you dig a bit deeper in the past.

Tens of thousands of deaths every year, broken marriages, traumatic childhoods and destroyed dreams would tell you that alcohol is not the best substance to consume. There is a great value in using it to create herbal tinctures which is why some hard alcohol is believed to have "medicinal properties" like Jagermeister or any herbal liquor but that has nothing to do with the alcohol itself, it is merely it, being the catalyst stimulating the healing effect of those herbs. The entire French Paradox is bonkers and drinking red wine every day has been proven to be untrue. The only other benefit I see is a temporary breakdown of social barriers but that just indicates the lack of deep work and personal development.

Most plant foods are sources of vitamin C. Rarely do people eat oysters on their own or without having a salad before or after. Most of them still live I assume...

i you feel that your LP is inauthenthic and can't move towards the real one, than do it. Better than losing 10 years pursuing the wrong thing. You can skip the "theory" in the beginning and get on with te practical stuff although it never huts to rewind the core principles

I want to see someone who is genuinely passionate about the travel and places they visit. I don't care about fake smiles, "heeeey guuuuuys" faking youtube "models" who thumblink every video with their pircure in bikini, these videos make me sick literally. Drop any excessive makeup, cleavage revealing shirts and obvious click-batey clothes. What I miss in travel blogs is more history and description. For example while visiting an ancient site, in the background give us some interesting facts about the place, add a nice music etc. Try to find out something exciting about your destination's history. For example if it was a city that has in the past been besieged by roman army and fought them for days eventually leading to utter distruction and slaughter of every citizen, make sure to mention that. Add tips on what to avoid, what are the tourist traps or how not to get ripped of by local salesmen or taxi drivers. Tips on public transport tickets, schedules and costs,, currency exchange places, great budget hidden restaurants and tips for vegans, vegetarians. Be genuine and most of all be yourself. Don't fake anything. If you hate anything about the destination, tell the viewer. Never pretend that every place is gold. If you get lost, angry or upset, add that to the vlog too so that the viewer sees the reality of the place. All the best with the channel

not the best idea IMO. You will most likely already struggle with energy levels during a long term fast and should conserve as much energy as possible. Long fast should be aimed at healing and cleansing. Exercise is neither as it produces acids in the body that take a lot of effort and energy to be buffered. Of course light walks and yoga are perfectly fine just don't go doing heavy heart pounding, hard breathing workout.

@bejapuskas not a fan of his work This guy bashes on lentils like a madman. His audience are people with digestive issues that haven't been diagnosed and fixed properly. It is an elimination diet that takes away some of the most powerful category from the plant kingdom but does not fix the underlying issue. Not to mention he is a pill-pusher for Lectin shields and all sorts of crap. Of course many will benefit from eliminating lectins but the research clearly demonstrates that these foods prolong life and protect from a lot of chronic diseases.

The sciatica is just a symptom of the herniation and sciatic nerve compression, you want to treat the herniation locally. First of all, the inflammation is there for a reason. It IS NOT a bad thing. The inflammation is your second line immuno-defence mechanism because it means your body is vasodilating and increasing permeability of local capillaries to improve the healing. Antiinflammatories is the last thing you want to do in case of acute inflammation. The pain is there on purpose so that you don't move the area which slows down the healing. If taking them, at least make sure they are NSAIDs (meaning non-steroidal) Try to chat to a naturopath or acupuncturer to see if there is anything to help the healing process. Or some herbs that improve lower circulation. I wouldn't put a lot of strain but mild swimming seems like a good idea as well as taking walks. Generlly the body knows what it is doing and can fix a lot of things provided that the fluid leakage from the herniated disc wasn't too significant or that the dislocation needs a manual adjustment.

I used to compete in Judo from my 7 till 21 and can absolutely understand the passion and discipline that comes from martial arts. While I am all for having ambitious goals in life, trying to be THE BEST is always a losing game eventually. You put yourself in a shoes of competitor and your life will be based on always looking behind shoulder, always striving to be ahead of competition and keeping your golden throne. Eventually this is what drives many guys down the road of chemical substances and using whatever means available to stay on the top. This is one of the reasons I left the competing because many guys took it way way too seriously and relied on a lot of gear from what I've learned later on True life purpose should be about giving back and sharing your greatest gifts with the world, this is by far more rewarding than being awarded the best fighter...in a long term at least. That being said, perhaps at this stage of life you need to go and compete, you need to spend couple years pushing your way upwards in the ladder and making a name for yourself in the fighter community. And if that feels like you, then go do it, absolutely. Don't listen to anyone in here but your heart ( I know that sounds cliche). Your intuition will tell you when you've had enough competing and are ready to start giving back. There is a process to follow and I don't think one can just jump straight to the end.

@Charlotte 1 cup a day is fine Charlotte Just make sure to time it well, outside of your main dose of iron. Just wondering though...have you been tested for low iron or diagnosed with anaemia?

@bejapuskas of course you can. A Remember that on plant-based diets, the number one problem so many people struggle with lack of energy and hunger is simply not eating enough. Also maybe look up Derek's video called "tips for new vegans" that goes through a lot of struggles people face on plant based diets. Meat and dairy are calorically dense foods and when you take those away and do not replace properly, your energy levels will suffer potentially triggering a cascade of signs & symptoms eventually leading to iron-deficiency or B12/B9 deficiency anaemias , hair loss, weight loss and anxiety. Lots of great tips by @Feel Good above, make sure to consider those as well. Good luck !!

probably the Intro into Systems Thinking and the whole spiral dynamics series was godly!

Check out some of Simnet Nutrition's videos on youtube. He has many titled "what i eat in a day". The guy is an epitome of thriving on plant based diet. Lots of tips on recipes, sauces, nutrition and working out by an extremely humble and likeable dude
