False premise. Fasting isn't forever, its for a set period of time. Running and fasting are very similar. When running you often feel the urge to stop and give up. You build up the strength over time to say no to that voice. Fasting is a method of short-term saying no to urges. As you learn to say no to that urge, you become better at saying no to that urge. A single prolonged fast can redefine ones relationship with eating. There are lots of reasons to eat, not all of them are the need for nutrition. There are lots of reasons to grab a phone, not all of them are necessary to function/social/work, yet many people feel the urge to pick up there phone 50+ times a day.
You've missed my point entirely and moved to a different discussion. I am not arguing about will power. What do you think instinct is? Are we simply slaves to our desires? No. Yet many still feel this way.
Have you ever tried meditating? Is it easy to just sit?
TikTok users have a strong urge to watch more TikTok. Should they just give into their urge for a short term dopamine rush? Will it feel difficult to not listen to this urge? Can they overcome it or are they trapped forever?
"Now imagine how strong is the instinct to eat."
Fasting is a methodology to reset your metabolism. Dopamine fasting is a way to reset your urge to doom scroll. Meditation is a way to clear your mind.
Metabolically fasting dramatically increases insulin sensitivity, has profound benefits and helps one to become a master of their urges. It is a practice, like dopamine fasting, meditation, anything else...
I'm a participant in runner groups. I was surprised to meet several exceptional runners with stories of moving from very unhealthy/overweight to their current level of marathoner+. Several of them had success not just with intermittent fasting, but prolonged fasting. Humans can run when they feel like you have no energy.
It's hard to believe that this isn't a psychological and behavioral issue:
>A 30 percent reduction in caloric intake results in a 30 percent decrease in caloric expenditure.
Often times I find it difficult to run or exercise, a lot of times I don't feel like I have the energy. Especially when fasting. I've fasted 7 days and run 3+ miles every day until I had no glucose left in my body. I've never met anybody doing prolonged fasting, distance running and a 100% commitment who couldn't transform their bodies. There may be some rare cases out there of individuals with severe disease/diagnosed health disorders, that's between someone and their doctor. For the rest, are they 100% committed? If you feel like this is you, please reach out, would love to talk and connect with you.
Another issue with dams and ladders for that matter is that they significantly lengthen the journey time. Additionally protected marine mammals take advantage of the backlog of these blockages and consume significantly more fish as they have no quick escape.
Not sure why this is so heavily downvoted. USA medical system prefers sick people because they're more profitable. For example, type 2 diabetes is reversible...
Threads is an interesting move because of the context. However, I believe that Facebook will continue to alienate a large segment of its users through its aggressive bias. You can't please everyone, but simply censoring and banning one political side is not a viable approach. As we saw with the Twitter files this ultimately snowballs, creating a larger problem that will resurface.
I'm not optimistic about the Threads product, but I think its failure will be a positive overall impact on public discourse.
Facebook isn't our friend. Zuck doesn't want a "more friendly place" he wants censorship and monetization.
Combining the disciplines of mechanical engineering, interaction design, industrial design and user experience, I lead the design of simple, sleek, utilitarian hardware products from concept to delivery.
Currently I’m accountable for every pixel, curve, and behavior at a NYSE traded company.
I’m a powerful internal design evangelist who’s obsessed with finding and understanding users. I work in a discovery oriented agile process where I am comfortable discovering requirements and coauthoring PRDs. I follow a process of continuously prototyping of and relentlessly testing
1. How do I finish something?
2. How do I create something other people will find useful?
3. How do I monetize my hobbies?
4. What should I make with Rust?
What answers do you think you need? Maybe you already have the answers. If you wish to do something, do it.
I would suggest only a framework that is essentially to think in prototypes.
1. Focus on quantity, not quality. Make 10-20 things.
2. Think simply. Do some small planning at the outset. Don't expand scope.
3. Release early and often. - Set a schedule, follow it. Release whatever you have when the time is elapsed.
4. Define your goals and measure results in some objective form.
5. After you complete this cycle, find a combination of what you enjoyed and what others are using/enjoying and iterate again.
