1. What I'm eating (testing) - - After 6 months of eating nothing but beef and drinking nothing but water, I started testing in a new food - eggs. At first I added a
couple over-easy, pastured eggs to a typical steak meal. All was well. Then I had a breakfast of only eggs (9). That afternoon, for the first time since going to a meat-only diet, I had hypoglycemia (I use to get hypoglycemia quite often).
- My theory is this -
the body can burn through a dozen eggs faster than it can a large rare steak. Eggs can be quite insulinogenic (cause a rise in insulin) which can over-remove blood glucose --> hence, hypoglycemia. Meat, digested more slowly, can result in a more steady increase of blood glucose and more mild insulin response. I'll keep testing.
2. What record was broken - - Besides
breaking my record streak of beef-only eating for 6 months, another record was broken this week...
- In less than 1 hour, "What did humans evolve to eat?" was shared over 100 times on Facebook.
- The article/video
answers the hotly debated topic: are humans designed more like plant-eating herbivores or meat-eating carnivores?
3. What I uploaded - - I like to post videos to my Instagram
story - it's easy - but they're hard for others to find and share. So I uploaded all the Insta videos to YouTube.
- The video series on how plants attack is my favorite so far.
4. What I'm disagreeing with - - Wired published an article on how the likes of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have philanthropic goals that are ethically convoluted. Instead of helping the countless millions that could use their money, technology, and power today, they are deploying these resources for a hypothetical future world.
- I am happy we have people like Bill Gates who care about people who aren't yet alive, who try and predict and stay ahead of human suffering.
5. What I'm predicting- 6. Who jumped on the rocket ship -
7. What I added to my reading list - - Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. This
is a collection of his private notes and ideas on stoic philosophy. It is consistently one of the highest recommended books by people I look up to. Here's a summary of notes on the book that made me elevate this book even higher on my "to-read list"
It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend! Kevin
