Comment Fasting worked wonders for my health. (Score 5, Interesting) 216

This was worth logging in for.

I was overweight and staring down 50, so I did some research and decided to try it.

I did a 7 day water fast followed by a mostly keto style diet, but really just sticking to food that's been on the planet for longer than 100 years, no processed chemical foods. I lost maybe 10 pounds during that week but the weight just kept falling off.  Down from 40's to 34's and even 32's after about 9 months of sticking to real food, cut back(not out) on sugar and bread.  My blood panels showed no problems with cholesterol etc after eating bacon and eggs for breakfast for months.  homemade soups etc for dinner.

Fasting is part of a natural cycle, your body uses the time when digestion is shut down to heal itself.

Don't believe me, prove me wrong.

Comment Re:... and at least 6 years of right-wing politics (Score 1) 726

Where you see a "hard right turn" I see the pendulum swing back toward the center.   /. became way too libtarded for me so I stopped hanging out here for a long time.

IMO the left have held a stranglehold on the public debate for far too long, and we are finally seeing some correction.   'They' say the next generation is shaping up to be more conservative than the baby boomer generation.  I think the carefully constructed mask the left uses to cover themselves with is being systematically dismantled. Hooray for that.

To each his own.

The political BS has been happening for a long while.  This was such a great site for tech in the beginning.  I don't hang around here much anymore.

Comment Red vs Blue (Score 0) 499

The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are popular culture symbols representing the choice between embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red pill) and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill).  -wp

Fits the red vs blue thing in politics surprisingly well.
