You have a problem with drag, eh?

Life of Brian is also a gem.

You should be proud. I am happy to see this achievement. I hope it inspires more people in Botswana to pursue engineering. Thank you for sharing.

I've struggled with being overweight my entire life. I feel like I am in control and have made a lot of progress-- so I want to preach about this.

Restrictive diets work but if you can't maintain it for a long time (keto, vegan, paleo, etc.) the weight will come back. I yo-yo dieted like many obese people do.

Anyone out there struggling here is how I've lost 160 lbs and gained muscle / mobility:

- Make sure you get good sleep. Sleep is incredibly important. - Intermittent fast (black coffee, tea, or caffeine pill in the am) lunch afternoon - track what you eat (there are a plethora of free apps that can help) - track how much you walk aim for 10k+ steps - do resistance work outs (free weights, calisthenics, ruck march, etc.) - cut back alcohol as much as possible - cut back sugar as much as possible - use the scale as a tool don't be afraid of it. (when I stepped on a scale I weighed over lbs. it was so painful to see that but ultimately worth it)

The biggest thing that has helped is a shift in my mindset. I look at going to the gym as treat /privilege. I've envisioned the end goal of how I look and feel.

Great to hear!

What has worked for me is to delay my meals until noon or even later. Eat protein and veggies for lunch.

Coincidentally this is also how I have a partner.

The only place this isn't true is Japan.

Thinking about Turkey, that might not hold true either. Some of the best shops are both small and very close to mass transit in where I live.

I mean, it's not true in general if you actually read the article.

> Whilst there are some minor indications that the hypothesis could be correct (eg. many of the absolute worst restaurants being some of the closest) the correlation is simply too weak.

Only if you agree with the article's methodology :)

Honestly NYC has a lot of its best restaurants by train stations, throughout every borough.

Do you have any books you'd recommend on Rockefeller and Carnegie?

I haven't read any books about them. The Men Who Built America is a good show to watch. On youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DydmaedDIhE

Absolutely. One grandmother worked as a farmer. The other worked as an book keeper. The book keeper who believed "exercise is for other people" is frail and extremely week. The farmer is also weak but is far more independent and is seldom sick.
