StacyC commented on How the iPhone Ruins Walking 4fishgreenberg.medium.com... · Posted by u/nateb2022
It’s so true. I was about to go for a walk this morning, but no, because iPhone.
It's weird, I've never considered myself a "royalist" but this news has affected me quite strongly. I just burst into tears unexpectedly on hearing this news and I don't quite understand why I feel so very sad. I guess I have grown up and lived my whole life (as a Brit) seeing and hearing the Queen, singing "God save the Queen" etc, and this news made me suddenly feel very old, very nostalgic, with the sense that all things pass in time, which makes my heart ache deeply.
Beautifully said. I’m an American and I feel this one too for some reason. It feels nice to stop and reflect on this a bit today — life, and all of it.

Using it now — I like it!
I'm still waiting for some definition of "god" to inform these conversations. What is this thing we are talking about?
For those like myself ignorant about the company, Notion appears to be a project management tool with integrated wiki and docs support. With at least a claimed strong user focus.
I set up Notion as an intranet for my wife's company and it has been enormously useful for posting company documents, policies, handbooks, announcements, etc. Employees are invited as "guests" at no additional charge.
We also use a Notion database with various views for tracking customers, sales pipeline, rewards, and a lot more.
When we bring on a new customer, we quickly create (from a template) a personalized welcome page for them with an embedded copy of their service agreement and a few other things. Notion can generate a public link so we send this right away and it makes a nice impression.
Performance isn't great but it is so useful for us that I don't mind. I do hope they provide an offline version soon as that is my biggest wish right for it right now.
* I'm not affiliated with the company, just a pleased customer.

You might be interested what Dave Feldman has to say about the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LuKwsz9Woc
I really like his engineering approach.
Before my last blood test a few months ago I decided to try the “Feldman Protocol” as an experiment — a week before the test I ate nothing but meat and eggs, very high in protein and fat. The results were as Feldman’s work predicts.
My HDL was up (67), triglycerides down (60). When my doctor got the results she called me and the conversation went like this:
Doc: I got your bloodwork results in today.
Me: And?
Doc: I have really good news.
Me: Great!
Doc: What are you doing?
I explained a little about the Feldman Protocol and she went quiet for a while, and finally said, well, keep doing what you’re doing I guess.

Weight loss comes from having a calorie deficit, not from keto. You can gain weight on keto if you eat more calories.
You can achieve the same weight loss by just eating fewer total calories, without cutting carbs as well.
The only thing I can say about calories is that after seven years on keto and feeling great, I have never given any thought to my calorie intake.
My weight remains stable as do my energy levels, so I can only assume that (1) I am getting exactly the right amount of calories from my diet, or (2) calories are an irrelevant metric.

Do you avoid red meat? Also, do you worry about cholesterol intake from the meat and eggs?
I eat quite a lot of red meat, ribeye when I can, ground beef. Also pork, some fish. I prefer beef with a bit of fat.
I am convinced that dietary fat and cholesterol are not the problem as we have been told for decades.
My blood work is excellent. In fact, my doctor is on board with what I am doing but she also doesn’t quite know what to make of it. I think she still has some cognitive dissonance with someone eating the way I do and seeing the results that, per her training, should not be happening.
I also used to take 50mg of Losartan for blood pressure but I no longer need it.
