I definitely use REAL butter, specifically irish, fat I burn, sugar is generally the issue. 2 slices of wheat for lunch occasionally isn't going to kill me,
I am glad that you are not butterphobic, and surely about 10-14 years ago when I was first reading and looking into these matters, butter was still being demonized, and perhaps only the past 5-ish years has butter reclaimed some of its stature for nutrition (and it tends to taste good too). Regarding bread. You don't need it, so why do you eat it? You eat it because you like it and you are addicted to it. It is not doing you any favors nutrition-wise, especially if you already proclaim to have glucose issues (or perhaps insulin resistance issues that likely get worse the older you get - and speaking of get.. get some daily pushups in there too.. .hahahaha)
Are you asking me about my bread usage or answering for me?
Upon review, I was largely just making a statement of my opinion for dee peeps, since you already stated what you do or what you like to do, and so I was just reiterating to emphasize my own point of view (and yeah, sure sometimes repetition ends up happening).
Nutrition-wise, I agree I don't see much value with bread I've been using, it's more of a convenience for me since I'm usually moving and doing stuff and can carry a sandwich around and eat it. I'd see more value with a multigrain bread, which I've used in the past and did like, but tbh it's something we cut out of the budget so I just use what we have and limit it... the economy is going to shit, sometimes I just have to take what I can get! Good news is kids love ramen, we buy in bulk.
I am not going to proclaim that "art thou holier than thou," because I have some of my own less than foods that seem to be thrown in my mix of food-like items for convenience and variety, but surely of questionable nutritional value and perhaps some of them might even have some anti-nutrition components that I am tolerating more than I probably should, and I do sometimes make efforts to remove them for short periods and then they also might end up seeping back in (or some similar kind of questionable food).. .. which I consider to fit in the category of "carb creep," and frequently deserving or re-purging (or not replenishing) once the current supply is used up.
I did a quick google search and the recommendation is 250 Mg to 4,000 mg per day, and I suppose dangers of exceeding 5,000mg per day. My supplements tend to be between 500mg to 2,000mg per day, so I usually am not making any adjustments, even though I suppose in theory if there were days that I were to eat a lot of fish, then I could over do it, yet I have my doubts, and I had never given too much consideration to making adjustments.. though I could that as being something that could pop up from time to time.
For example in the winter I tend to double my vitamin D3 so I take something like 50mcg twice a day, yet if I am getting a lot of sun, and if I am going out every day, then I will tend to discontinue taking those. I am not really a very BIG believer in supplements, even though I do take several.. so I spend quite a bit of money on them, even though I simultaneously question if they are doing much of anything for me in any materially meaningful and significant way.
If you are doing D3 you should combine it with K2 as I've heard it helps with absorption, I use one that has both. I wouldn't make any guarantees myself with any of the supplements I've mentioned, like philip said somewhere, everyone's body is different and may have different needs or goals.
Sure. I can consider taking another thing that I question its benefits.. not even joking. I had never previously taken k2 (unless maybe it had been in some multi-vitamin that I had taken from time to time), even though I heard people mention it.
None of that really sounds bad, even though there might be a bit more cardio than necessary in the mix, but surely the combination of stretching and various kinds of resistance exercises does not sound bad at all. I just wonder why you are such a pushup hater, and even proclaiming that the only (or the preferred way) is to do them slow... yeah, sure there is more resistance and less cardio when done slow, yet at the same time, there are a lot of guys who are not even able to do 10-20 pushups in a stretch whether fast or slow, and to do 3 sets of 10-20 pushups in a day, may well end up causing them considerable pain and suffering (and they likely would be benefitted by getting their body up to being able to do something like 3 sets of 10-20 pushups without feelings of major strain upon them). ~
It's working for
me, and imo those guys you mention in extreme pain should be doing them on their knees and progress up. I don't think I'm a pushup
hater.. if that's what gets you off your couch, good for you. For
me, they are boring and not a good use of my time given the other things I'm doing.
If I were doing them, I would be doing them slow & controlled. Hey maybe if you start doing that, we'll get over 100K again and the jinx will be over!
Back to reality.. you do what makes you happy.
I am thinking that you are contributing to me (and perhaps many other bitcoiners) being less happy than we otherwise could be, since the BTC price is currently less than $100k..and on the margins, your lack of pushups may well be less than helpful to world happiness.

And who the hell said anything about me eating beans? That's another thing that doesn't agree with my stomach.
That might have had been one of my extrapolations since so many persons getting plant-based proteins seem to gravitate towards beans.
Well I might have beans maybe once a month, maybe I'm
beanwashed now
They're not a big staple in my diet though, we have a bean & meat dish the family likes but I have to separate mine out since they use baked beans which is a bit high in sugar, other than that I try to avoid them. I don't mind the taste, but my stomach doesn't appreciate it.
fair enough
For dairy, really just mozzarella cheese, I don't even put milk or cream in my coffee anymore.
People with dairy sensitivities frequently will get over them with raw dairy.. and by the way, butter is a dairy. #justsaying.
Milk spikes my sugar much more than butter, of course I'm not using a
ton of butter either, but had to reduce the milk.
Soda?... again I never said that and don't drink soda. I used to (years ago), and once in a blue moon if I'm out at a restaurant I might get a diet coke, but I'm all water these days w/ the added minerals I mentioned previously.
If you only drink soda once in a while, then there probably is no benefit in diet soda as compared with regular soda.
Frequently I will order a carbonated mineral water at a restaurant, so the carbonation can sometimes give a soda sensation, and of course no sugars and no additives... but sure soda once in a while o.k... and so many diet sodas have aspertame... or perhaps some other unknown sweetener substitutes.
Regular soda is loaded with sugar, my sugar level isn't really impacted by diet sodas from what I've measured, overall I just don't like the chemicals and shit that goes into any sodas so I try to avoid them entirely.
Sodas are fairly rare for me, too... even though sometimes they might be part of a mixed drink or something that I join in on, even though I would not really have it at my house.. except maybe mostly for guests, but if it is "there" then sometimes it might spur me into making a drink for myself... which is not really a routine, just a once in a while, kind of thing that happens.. and surely sometimes in streaks, since if there might be no guests for quite a while, and then all of a sudden a streak of guests, then I might end up spurred into either serving a guest or even considering that I should have that in my house for the next time such and such guest comes over..
I will suggest that the sentiment of my earlier response is that sometimes just getting started doing pushups on a regular, consistent and persistent basis is better than allowing perfect be the enemy of the good. Yeah, we can improve our technique at a later point down the road, yet if we had not been doing pushups for 10 years or more, we might need to first get our body to include them in our routine so our muscles get used to them. Also some folks are at different ages and different levels of physical fitness, and for sure the older that we get, the more we need to be engaging in various kinds of resistance training to maintain and preserve whatever muscle mass that we have left... and it becomes more and more difficult to build muscle mass after we get older too... perhaps older than 40, yet still each decade of additional age is likely is more challenging to both maintain and preserve, and might even be near impossible to actually build at certain age points.
I've got more muscle in my 40's now so I guess I'm doing OK. You don't have to believe me but I am being open. Anyone wanting my opsec-violating
sexy dad bod pic as proof, it wouldn't be worth the risk posting that. Just visualize
this guy's attitude, combined with
this guys body, loose skin included, then add
slightly more definition, and much more hair! ...no need to thank me.
OK I'm done talking about this now!! Keep up your health and fitness goals gentlemen, whatever they may be, live to see $1M
BTC Fair enough. I had not seen that guy (Brandon Hart) or that video previously. I can can use my imagination with the combination of those clues. No problem. I might have similarities, and surely some guys age more eloquently than others, including the existence of genetic components.. and even some guys who really look bad at an early age, yet it also seems to me that some level of efforts (and trying to stay active, eat decently well, and get enough hours of sleep 6-8-ish) will likely improve looks and overall energy levels (including bio markers).
It is evil.
A certain number of people (normies and/or otherwise) reported within the guidelines, and complied with the deadline, then the IRS (supposed people representing agency) announce the delay in the reporting requirements (voluntary incentives to do so).
Governments (or whoever made such decision - head of the IRS), truly, should not be allowed to engage in such purposeful privacy invasive (anti-public representation) behaviors.
