🥩 How to make the (15-minute) Case for Meat:
|
📈 What's the (obvious) case against current dietary recommendations:
The obvious case against our current dietary recommendations is the alarming rise in obesity which we know is a leading risk factor for everything from cancer to CVD (the top 2 killers).
The rising obesity trend walks lock-step with decreasing red meat and saturated fat consumption. But of course, during this time we didn't just start eating less, on the contrary, we replaced the red meat with calories over and beyond what that meat would provide.
When you replace high quality protein and fat (and micronutrients) with hyperpalatable, nutrition-poor foods, you overeat it in an attempt to get the nutrition the body needs as well as to get the dopamine hits the brain desires.

🛑 What's stopping you:
If I notice I'm procrastinating, I'll generally ask myself a series of questions:
- Is it too big? How can I make this task easier? How can I break it into smaller bites?
- Is the idea of "perfection" stopping me? Can I get to "good enough"?
- What is really stopping me? Is this work really that scary or hard?
- What is the end goal, why is this important, and how does this connect with the task at hand?
"Force yourself to do nothing if you are procrastinating. Doing nothing has a habit of turning into doing something."

❓ Who invented bitcoin:
Everyone who falls down the bitcoin rabbit hole eventually asks," Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" I enjoyed this article, a tribute to the builders of the biggest technological breakthrough since the internet.
As users increase, the value goes up, which could attract more users to take advantage of the increasing value. - Satoshi

P.S.
What's not going to make it:
I'm writing this newsletter as my computer is all but telling me it's dead. I was trying to hold off until a Black Friday sale but alas, I don't think this guy is going to make it, and computer tech is not my forte. Any recommendations?
The plan is to use the new computer to do everything from music production to video editing (i.e. high processing power) so here's some of the specs I think I am looking for (but I could be wrong lol):
- Windows (ability to upgrade to 11 when it comes out)
- 1TB SSD
- 32 GB RAM
- i7 processor (4.7Ghz)
- Open to laptop or desktop or anything else that might be better than what I thought I needed here
If you have any recommendations, just hit reply and let me know, appreciate the help!
