I've been 7 months without sugar, wheat, legumes, refined oils, and all that crap. Basically a Paleo/Primal Diet. I can't be more happy, when I got some carb craving I eat a piece of yam or some cassava, both are super high in fiber and yam is filled with vitamins too, so I feel full very fast. I eat grass fed meat and lots LOTS of "paleo" veggies (and I mean HUGE salads, with one avocado a day).

The results was I not only lost 100lb (that was a seconday effect) but I feel much MUCH better, I can play with the dog for an hour, make long walks, and go outside and enjoy life. I still have more weight to lose, but it is all so easy now, sometimes I don't eat for 18 - 24 hours, just because I'm not hungry. My 20yo son is also doing the same plan, and he lost 55lb and is now 15% body fat, happy as hell with all the girls digging him.

And it was as simple as not eating "modern" food, just sticking to a good sustainable plan for a few weeks and after that everything went in "autopilot mode".

That's partially true, the SPEED in which you can become insulin resistance varies (that's why you see people who can eat foods filled with anti-nutrients and don't easily become leptin resistant), but the mechanisms that causes it and the way of getting rid of such resistance is the same in all humans - unless u got a rare genetic desease or a damaged hypothalamus.

Affecting a nerve to help people regulate their hunger and help them loose weight? There is already a way of doing that and it's called Leptin. Leptin is the hormone that regulates hunger by stimulating receptors in the hypothalamus. When someone suffers from leptin resistance, he will eat all day. The fix? bye bye sugars, bye bye inflammatory foods, bye bye foods with anti-nutrients.

I lost 100lb resetting my leptin cycle, I stopped eating all day and simply wasn't hungry anymore. No will power, no pills, nothing... the anxiety for food just went away.

Here is a nice article with 29 scientific references that explains exactly the importance of Leptin Cycle
And here is a nice video from Stephan Guyenet, Ph.D. explaining it too

Affecting a whole big nerve instead of changing eating habits is a really really bad idea

That is EXACTLY why I consider this is an AWESOME idea. I have visited some of those locations, and the geography around them is extremely harsh. Many of these families live above 2500m altitude (some even above 3500m - 4000m), get their water from rivers, wells or old aqueducts (some of them made during the Inka's empire), and live mainly from farming and livestock. Giving them electricity from PV so they can use basic things, like led lights and small radios, will improve their quality of life A LOT. Bringing them electricity from the regular grid would be cost-prohibitive.

From the article:

Schwarzenegger also told TheArnoldFans, "We start shooting in January and I'm also going to do 'King Conan'. To play that role and also to do another 'Twins' movie. I feel very proud of that. I feel very happy and I'm looking forward to doing those films."

I guess he will be doing Conan AND a sequel for "Twins".

Considering Facebook API now requires SSL/TLS for Facebook Apps, many servers had to turn on HTTPS just for this. It's just a matter of time until we see this widely exploited.

Indeed. The most paid F/OSS developers there are, the best for everyone. If there is demand, F/OSS developers salaries will raise, which will make more people interested in working in the field. The result will be better software for everyone.

I guess we all can dream...
