"What do you think of Ketogenic dieting" Keto dieting has become very trendy as of late in the tech community and biohacking community. Like most diets, its extremely hyped, and like most diets, the reality is very different from the often magical expectations people have about it Keto dieting has definite evidence as a nutritional strategy for diabetics, people with metabolic syndrome, and obesity. It also has very interesting and powerful effects for certain types of cancer and neurological disorders As a general diet though to professionally recommend, Keto dieting is often NOT sustainable, it is NOT proven to "work" for everyone, and many people find their health suffers negatively from attempting it. It also can produce rapid short term weight loss, but then a rebound yo-yo effect happens, and the weight is gained back Keto dieting MIGHT be worth experimenting with, and definitely applies to certain populations, but as a more extreme diet in regards to its eating restrictions, and this makes the sustainability factor a major issue. Unless there are valid medical reasons, I don't professionally suggest it as someone's starting point to health eating. A more reasonable approach would be to try a very low carb diet, and then navigate from there.

“Earn your Dopamine” FOMO is a new acronym now, the Fear of Missing Out. The attention economy, a hundred million distractions all at once. Dopamine is a brain hormone, it's the feel good rush we get of being “engaged” with something. Our brains love dopamine, it makes us feel good. We also are addicted to it. Tweets, texts, notifications, emails, Instagram, popups, pictures, likes, loves, comments 2000 BC to 2017 AD, our brains are not any different, nor are the hours in our day. But WHAT we leverage our attention to, by god has that changed. Most of us cannot go more than 5 minutes without needing to fed by SOMETHING. God forbid we mist a reply, comment, or update. The cruel reality is that we are addicted to nothingness. No smarter, no wiser, no more educated, no more able to change our lives. We've got the most powerful technological devices in human history, and we use them to watch Cat videos, laugh at dank memes, and read the headlines of articles and then believe our opinion is informed. It's not, and we are not. We know nothing, and we don't want to admit it. And we are dopamine junkies, addicted to the cheap and easy rush that comes from all of the above. You’re an addict, I'm an addict. So let's break the cycle. On top of knowing nothing, we cannot focus on ANYTHING. We might miss a damnable update. Our dopamine betrays us. So here is my challenge to you; EARN your dopamine. Do things that delay gratification. Read a book Have a conversation Practice a skill Talk to someone, face to face, eye to eye Do your WORK, and do nothing BUT your work Go to the gym, follow a program, and TRAIN Engage in conversation, and do not check devices for updates Focus is a deadly skill in the world, as so few people now have it.
