OK, ultra-skinny legs & arms (183cm 60kg), yet a bit of a belly & man-boobs.
I have become convinced that my belly & man-boobs are a result of three things:
1) my hobby is sitting all the time reading reading reading, no sports, no lifting weights
(although I do ride my bicycle to work everyday: I have no car, so that's a little exercise)
2) 4 decades of eating lots of high-carbs (pasta, potatoes, bread, etc.) as a lifelong vegetarian
I now realize wheat is unnatural, modernly mutated, addictive, causes sleepiness and inflammation
(see "The Wheat Belly" book) and that ALL carbs get turned into glucose-deposits feeding bad bacteria,
then the body tries its best to isolate and attack those glucose/bacteria rotten toxic areas = "Cancer".
3) I now realize, specializing in so much carbs=glucose: "high glucose body" says "OK, I won't burn fat."
So "high glucose, low fat" body fails to burn incoming fat and fails to burn past fat, it just collects fat.
The "low glucose, high fat" body naturally burns incoming fat, and naturally burns any excess past fat.
As a lifelong vegetarian, grossed out by even 1 drop of meat/chicken/fish/flesh/fat/blood/bones/etc,
I want to help readers see there is NO need to restart the old "animal eating vs. plant eating" debate,
because there are
vegetarian fat sources &
vegan fat sources we simply need to begin having more of.
Meat-Eaters & Vegetarians, we ALL were fooled by the "wheat is healthy" "low fat is healthy" psy-ops.
C'mon folks, we were fooled by the wheat/starch/low-fat disease-engineers, don't get mad at Patrik.
Thank you Patrik, for altruistically spending so much time and energy helping us realize: we NEED fat.
So meat eaters, simply increase "high-fat: meat" RATIO, go for it y'all,
while reducing carbs=glucose.
Vegetarians, let's simply increase "high-fat: dairy & eggs & plant" RATIO,
while reducing carbs=glucose.
Vegans, simply increase "high-fat: plant" RATIO (olives/coconuts/avocados)
while reducing carbs=glucose.
BTW, thank you Kham for helping me see: fruit is not the enemy, because fruit is fructose not glucose.
See, some folks mistakenly say "Fruit is unhealthy since sugar molecules are sugar molecules, there is no difference between fructose and glucose, all sweet things are bad, even 100% raw organic unprocessed fruit picked off trees in your garden, if you want the benefits of keto you must stop eating fruit!"
Kham helped me see, and here I will attempt to paraphrase her main points into my own words, "Actually fruit is healthy since raw fruit sugar is 'good, simple, monosaccharide, fructose' molecules that can pass through the lining of the mouth and stomach and small intestines providing fuel directly to cells INSTANTLY by being readily absorbed into the blood stream as soon as one starts chewing and instantly used as fuel without any breakdown needed and WITHOUT any insulin carrier needed, and thus these fruit molecules are TOTALLY DIFFERENT from the 'bad, complex, disaccharide/polysaccharide glucose' molecules which must be broken down and which need insulin carrier units."

Again, vegans simply need more olives/coconuts/avocados/hemp-seeds/etc, and less carbs=glucose.
And vegetarians simply need more of the above plus cream/butter/eggs/etc, and less carbs=glucose.
And meat-eaters simply need more of the above plus more high-fat-meat, yay, and less carbs=glucose.
And ALL of us, whether plant-specializing or meat-specializing, need to decrease fire and increase RAW.
And we all can agree with Agraposo's "
judicious controlled fasting"
& FBenario's "
simply limit quantity".
And in addition to the above advice (which I think we can all agree makes sense) here is an extra bonus:
Cannabis when RAW is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn't get you high at all, yet creates health.
Heated Cannabis creates health & gets you high, but RAW Cannabis creates health without highness.
What this means is: your parents and grandparents can drink 10 grams daily without any highness. (!)
So, if you need quick health for survival, try cancer-curing-cannabis, high-style or sober-style, either way.
(See "The Power of Raw Cannabis" video)
C'mon everybody, we ALL need to improve our health, so we can happily meet up at Simon's for a party!
When we get away from the rude keyboard and
begin shaking hands and checking heart vibes in real life,
I think
we will realize on a very visceral gut-reaction level that almost all us humans are real good family.
Imagine us
partying at Simon's house once a year (or twice a year) laughing together at our online debates.
When fellow humans sit together IRL, the actual heart vibe can be physically felt, then: friendship begins.
Let's remember that having fun with people in real life, playing together & laughing, are essential for health!
