Yeah I think this is what it means when Jesus says

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Matthew 10:16 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.10.16.KJV

That is to say, be as knowledgeable in the cosmic law as a serpent, but be as innocent as doves, as in don't use cosmic law to serve yourself with it, because serving youregoself is sin, which weighs you down spiritually and diminishes your spirit power to serve others.

Well, it's a good thing the good Lord says we're more than just the sum of every high and every low then, yeah?

We're only in a zero-sum game if we choose to go the road without him.461_brrrrr_result_result.jpg

well, i hope you checked your PMs after you wrote that not before...im not gonna harass you, i was just being emotional. Hope we can just put this behind us, it is tired at the very least. Sorry again for insulting you, you are literally not obese so that's obviously just my stupid angry bullshit talk. Wish you well.

Jeff and I are acquainted, I don't believe that he hates me, it's just funny. And yes there are people who dislike me here, but it's mostly connected to Trump stuff so you know. Please don't get it confused, i'm not some forum villain. Let's just chill ok?

I eat what I eat, have lost 10lbs though. Holding around 200 (desk job). I was 160lbs for the longest time but have slowed as I approach 40.

ill and irritable.

Today I am having Tropical Grill. Chicken breast on yellow rice with a mustard-curry sauce.

edit: Since pandemic masks are required here, I have pursued my 80s Magnum PI Tom Selleck stache.

Sounds really good.

I maintained a muscley endomorphic physique @ 164 in my 20s eating 3-6k calories a day.

No more. For many reasons. I literally never stopped moving, exercised daily, hit the gym every other day to keep that going.

I had more endurance than anyone I knew cuz I fed myself and didn't try to cut weight.

Tbqh it's kinda hard to eat a healthy 1000 calories. Like finding, chewing, only healthy foods. So last year I ate a ton of fried chicken. Chinese sweet and sour. Pizza. And didn't use discipline myself at all, for personal reasons.

Ween yourself into intermittent fasting 16hrs sessions, and stay off caffeine, processed sugar, and dairy except butter for cooking eggs cuz they're disgusting cooked in anything else.

Regardless of the actual health impact of no processed sugar and no dairy, avoiding those two things will keep you from eating all manner of processed toxic food garbage.

I really like sauerkraut with basically anything and its a really healthy food. Canned wild salmon from costco is not too expensive and you can mix it with an avocado, some diced sauerkraut and eat it with crackers or chips or on bread and its really good. My kids like that too.

I eat from 12pm to 8pm and fast from 8:01pm to 11:59am. Some people like breakfast so they eat from 8am to 4pm and fast from 4:01 to 7:59am. I don't like breakfast so I dont.

You can also try a longer fast "barbarian diet?" or some shit. Eating one big meal a day. It's not a bad setup but I have had times when I am pretty tanked by the time I hit that 1 meal a day so I think the 16hr fast is more maintainable. It seems to help my guts to give them a good rest during the fast time rather than always adding something. Drink a healthy amount of water.

If you want to keep it simple, to start easy, eat WHATEVER shit you still want to eat, but ONLY drink water. That is the biggest win to switch to drinking water only. Sugary drinks are really really bad for your brain.

Good luck
