Anecdotal Carnivore Update. Lost 30 lbs with a carnivore lifestyle so far and I am 80 lbs down from peak weight (267 to 187). Now that I have gone back to a healthier balance of carb and sugar burning modes (after hard core carnivore and after weight stabilization) my cholesterol numbers are better than ever through this whole process. It took less than 1 month for my cholesterol numbers to turn "bad" but how else was my body going to burn fat everyday for energy without transporting the fat around my body in the same molecules that transport cholesterol. Duh water and oil dont mix so oils need a transport molecule and fats and cholesterol are oily. I love carnivore lifestyle. Got a quarter cow on the way. Hopefully it lasts 3 months. Carnivore is not a miracle. It is a tool. Stay active. Get outside. Be anal. Be balanced. Build muscle. Warm up properly. Perfect the technique. Buy a lipid analyzer. Do OMAD or 4-hour eating windows when it is easiest to do so. Do pull-ups push-ups dips sprints leg calisthenics, have fun, laugh, etc... image
Got teeth cleaning and xray done yesterday. No extras. No insurance. When quoted USD 318 for the service I asked if that includes the loyal customer discount. The lady laughed and laughed because maybe a customer of 2 years is not loyal enough or maybe the loyal customers are not the patients. Perhaps the loyal customers are the insurance companies and the patients are simply the transactionary vessels. Fucking obviously.
The ultimate sin is encouraging a Yoko. Don't encourage a Yoko. Lennon died on that cross so we dont have to. Or What is horrible and must be stopped? Today it's air-drumming-kids (new buckminster-inspired-word) that don't know a snare from a tom. First learn. Then pretend. Not pretend and never learn.
A few little bits better than the 4% rule of thumb. Here is a step-by-step to know (when you can stop working for fiat) if you have enough of a baseline asset value to sell assets for living expenses and at least maintain your baseline asset value over the future (number don't go down). This is based on averages, such as extrapolating average historical performances into the future. I only know the wheels will keep spinning. No one knows how they will spin at any given moment. Typically, most of the time its a fast and accelerating wheel spinning (10% average annual return on investment) with some times of quick and short wheel spinning (deflationary times, systemic margin calls, notable drawdowns, reaching for collateral, etc.) and some times of slow and decelerating spinning (stagflation). You have to be able to survive all of the above scenarios for extended periods of time. You could be a "millionaire" now but string 5 deflationary years in a row and it's chaos a.d. (must keep printing fiat to avoid chaos a.d.). 1. Find your net worth (assets minus debt) example: 401k plus savings plus bitcoin minus mortgage and minus car notes) 2. track networth back at least 5 years and find the average annual compound growth rate (aacgr) example: search/ask/cc Google "what is the average annual compound growth rate for a starting net worth of (...enter your starting point net worth here...) (...enter your starting point of how many years ago here...) years ago and a current net worth of (...enter your current net worth here...) 3. Find assumed future aacgr. If answer from #2 is greater than 10% use 10% as the assumed future aacgr. Otherwise, use your calculated aacgr from #2 as your assumed future aacgr. Current net worth must be greater than starting point net worth. 4. Find maximum allowable annual spending (maas). Multiply current net worth times assumed future aacgr from #3 to equal maas. example: multiply 1 million net worth times 10% assumed future aacgr equals 100,000 maas. 5. Find your last year total spending and living expenses including amounts charged to credit cards. !!!!! To stop working and at least maintain your current baseline net worth!!!!!, your last year of spending must be below your maas value found in #4 above. 6. Life happens. Track and reassess regularly. You might be pleasantly surprised at the cost of health insurance after your income decreases. Check health insurance benefits available to you. 7. This calculation assumes we are entering inflationary years ahead (decades) but periods of deflationary years are possible, especially 2 or 3 deflationary years in a row and will wreck this rough calculation. And wreck is definitely no bueno. Don't even ask what happens if your bad investment choices and poor sell timing skills are coupled with deflationary years. Don't look at me. Look in the mirror.
Just got a text to donate to Gavin Newsbum soliciting donations to fight against the federal government. And immediately after receiving the text my left hand started reaching for cash in my pocket. Now my right hand is waiting for my left hand to come out of my pocket to get a cut.
