La la la la la la la la!!!

So, why the long face? ?

That makes more sense. I eat a lot of fat because many of the vitamins you need are fat-soluble, but I'm picky about the kind! Uncured, grass-fed, free-range, etc. Let's just say Sausage McMuffins would NOT be on my food list! (Although I do miss their becan and egg McGriddles!) Processed food, grains, sugars and bizarre chemicals are no bueno. Unfortunately, pretty much all the health news people know is almost the exact opposite of what they should be doing (though it IS very profitable for Big Pharma).

Wow... I have never heard of an OMAD diet doing anything but helping with internal issues! I've been doing OMAD for a couple of years now adding one day a week of fasting and, about once every month or two, I go for three or four days to get to autophagy. What I do know about gallstones (learned about three years ago before my Mom had to have hers taken out), is that the heavier stones are not the problem since they tend to stay at the bottom of the gallbladder and not move. It's the lighter stones that are a problem because they can then float into other areas! That said, my Mom had the lighter stones so the decision to remove her gallbladder was made. Prior to all of this, my Mom (currently 94) was able to go 100 yards in less than two minutes with the help of a wheeled walker. She was given a "Senior quad-flu shot" that hadn't been neutralized enough which gave her two-weeks of flu hell. At the end of this period, she couldn't get out of bed and I had to call 911. While in the E.R. for this they discovered her gallbladder issue. After the surgery she had a blood clot in her hand (first clot ever) and, after being released from the hospital, has been in a care facility ever since where she can no longer stand or do anything on her own. Since the gallbladder is instrumental into helping digest fat (which is FAR more important than some would think), I would definitely recommend getting a second opinion before having them just remove it! My knowledge, built up over decades of research and exploring holistic medicine may not make the medical industry any money, but I haven't had to see a doctor for an appointment in over 23 years and I'm healthier now than I was then. (I qualified that last sentence because I have friends that are also doctors and we share information.) Regardless, I wish you the best of luck so you can keep rocking!

Ok, and to be helpful (just don't tell anyone! ?), I have found that the following supplements are AWESOME at removing the aches and pains the morning after too much exertion: HMB + D3 L-Glutamine Powder You need to take these with protein, so I just make a quick shake (using a shaker bottle, nothing fancy) with some protein powder. I greatly wish I had learned about this combo when I was still playing sports! I hated the muscle pain which was very demotivating during my next workout. As for the focus and energy, there are alternatives! I have literally hundreds of different kinds of what I call brain/mind audios that can help. Two ironies: If you actually get a jolt from coffee, it means your energy baseline was lower than it should be to begin with! Also, you will have more energy if you DON'T eat because your body has two modes, storing and burning. Nothing takes more energy from your body than digesting (which is why so many feel tired right after they eat). Fasting of any kind is not something you just start doing, you need to work your way into it. This holistic doctor has been a huge help to me and my friends: https://www.youtube.com/@drekberg

That last paragraph killed me! ?

Good thing he didn't let them catchup!

Ok, you got me! I certainly didn't expect THAT to be the follow-up to UB40 - Johnny Too Bad! ?

Gee, I wonder what could be next? ?

I like that better! I'm going to have to change the original now! ?

@Grem - Pandora!

Chimes > Bells Byrds - Bells of Rhymney

*Watches with curiosity as pwalpwal tries to catch up with Wibbles...* ?

They missed one Bob! ?

I had a "glitch in the matrix" moment this morning. I only eat one meal a day and today's was going to be breakfast-food based. So I put out a few eggs and one felt very light. I always examine each egg to make sure it's fully intact with no cracks so that I don't mix one in that's bad (I only buy "Gold" level eggs too). Anyway, when I hit the light egg against the bowl I found that it was completely empty! Dry inside too. No yolk, no white part, no clinging part, nothing! Weird! ? Seriously! No yolk! ?

I used to know a little Portuguese once, but he was a jerk!

I love pulling out some TSO for the holidays! I was surprised to learn that, like the Blue Man Group, there was more than one TSO line-up so they could actually do more than one show at a time! Um, ok, so does that make some of the musicians their own cover band, or what???

I'm only familiar with electric panels. ?

Actually, the one that always makes me wonder involves those toads that are psychedelic when licked. SOMEONE had to be first to try it and that's more than a little disturbing! LOL!

Considering the term "Conspiracy Theorist" was coined by Allen Dulles when he was the head of the CIA to identify those who knew the truth about the Kennedy assassination, I certainly don't mind being one! Later, in 1967, he had letters sent to all the mass media at the time to use the term in a belittling manner hoping to shame people into only following the provided government narrative. Not much has changed there! I don't use F***book or most of the other social disease sites. I still use YouTube for many things, but when much that is known to be true is being censored, you have to go elsewhere. (Yes, I meant to say it that way.)

I used to have Mt. Rockmore! (At least mine featured HEADS, ya? ?)
