I was diehard keto for over a year straight. Chronic inflammation that I’ve lived with my entire life disappeared totally after a few weeks. I became pretty dogmatic about the whole thing and eventually my body started to suffer. I don’t believe it to be a long term sustainable diet, at least not at the level i was doing it (sub 20g carbs a day).
My blood tests got very worrying towards the latter part of the year and I started to have regular panic attacks and what I can only presume is chronic low blood sugar that ultimately left me feeling pretty lifeless and scared.
Anyways just my personal anecdote to remain cautiously optimistic
My mistake was I gravitated to eating mostly fatty pork and chicken after a year. Turns out those are very high in omega-6’s. Does not play well with my mental health, skin (exacerbated my pollen allergy related eczema), resulted in starting to regain weight around my stomach despite maintaining a loss of 50 pounds for two years, and becoming cold all the time (yes, my thyroid and calories were fine).
After some research on wtf might be going on, I had my suspicions and took an omegaquant test which revealed my circulating phospholipid omega-6 levels were crazy high, just a few percent below their max reference range. Moving to beef only halted my issues after 1-2 months.
I like beef and monotony, but even I can’t eat just beef. I now cycle between keto and carbs (mostly potatoes, carrots, onions and glass noodles, sometimes pasta or bread buns). I generally have carbs near workout days. Now that I’ve shed the omega-6 pounds, I have some tolerance again but end up still mostly use beef, eggs, and frozen seafood blends (no fish, which when farmed tends to be high in omega-6).
Oh, and if you are looking for a salad dressing that isn’t just flavored vegetable oil (high omega-6), give the “skinny girl” brand a try.
I'm at 3 years with occasional breaks. At a certain point my weight wouldn't go lower and I started feeling terrible. I think I was producing more ketones than I could use. I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but now I'm sustaining a low-carb, low-but-nonzero-ketone mode, and still getting 50-75% of the mental/energy/anti-inflammatory advantages.
I think it was either changing my diet to focus on veges instead of meats (still 15-30g net carbs/day though), or adding artificial sweetener to maybe fool my body to making insulin? The science says that shouldn't happen, but idk what else it could be.
How long did it take you? What level of expertise do you have in terms of disassembly / electronics in general? Did you read this quote from the article:
"Even better, it appears the battery isn’t trapped under the logic board. That could mean battery swaps without removing all the brains first—a procedure we’ve been dreaming about for a while."
I was going to say that they may have been talking about the 2016 revision (g4 / touchbar) with that quote and maybe the retinas (g3) were not that bad.
However according to the comments the ifixit people were playing it very safe, most of the steps in the first half are not entirely necessary and the procedure can be completed in about an hour.
The tradeoff is not so clear cut. When disassembling more parts, more can go wrong. This is true for the MBP, and especially for the iPhone. Screws can get damaged, misplaced or swapped, which can be disastrous because they have different lengths.
If the whole procedure takes a long time, people will get impatient and probability of errors increases.
This is why I still feel the fishing line method, combined with low quantities of solvent is the least risky option overall.
He's not advocating for the brand "Bulletproof", the coffee recipe itself is simply called "bulletproof coffee", it's the combination of normal coffee (whatever type you choose) combined with MCT oil and Ghee/butter.
Hacker news is every bit as full of misogynistic assholes as reddit/4chan, they all worship Paul Graham who basically has the same world view as Damore.
There are definitely some issues still on HN; I've had to argue with people here that think gay people don't deserve the right to get married and I've noticed people instantly downvoted into oblivion for mentioning that they're trans.
My guess is that it depends on whether you look on marriage as a religious custom or a legal custom. I can understand people not agreeing with it in the religious sense (as their special book says so).
Personally I say give everyone the same rights (i.e single people) and a large part of the problem would go away.
A crossover between game / social experience / musical fantasy. They have live shows once a week and have been gaining momentum within the VR community quite rapidly.
Important to remember we are quite literally still just beyond the one year mark since consumer VR devices hit the market. It will only get better.
I agree the Gear is not where VR is going in the future. You need full room-scale immersion to really "feel" like you are experiencing something truly new and exciting. 360 sports videos are NOT the future of VR.
Really great internationalisation there. I'm guessing they're having the standard problem of not being able to get worldwide licenses for the builtin music.
