r/o water 0ppm and this type of water has been shown to be bad because of the osmotic pressure . you should probably add a bit of salt to it.

@random I write my messages by hand and ask chatgpt to fix my grammar. I was never aware of my temps before, so I don't know about that, but I have had most of these problems for a big chunk of my life (also before supplements)
Do you take any medications?
-
@random no, never had

Two extra conclusions I had to find out the hard way:
-
Isotonic drinks must be combined with protein.
Sugar increases muscle uptake of most amino acids, except tryptophan, which can then freely enter the brain.
(Without added protein, you risk unbalancing amino acid uptake.) -
I misjudged my fat intake from minced meat.
The crushed/Bolognese meat I was eating contained 18g of fat per 100g, and I was eating around 600g per day.
I thought I was on a low-fat diet — but I was actually consuming around 120g of fat daily.
This caught me off guard, and I immediately switched my protein source to steak after realizing it.

@NoeticJuice I have reread your message now:
-
The effect you mentioned , I realized it may be connected to GABA and dopamine.
I felt exactly as you described when taking phenibut.
Sadly, it does seem to affect my memory negatively,
but it makes me feel like the man of my dreams for around two days (dose: 900mg orally with orange juice)(Of course, I space my doses out to the safe range). -
Ginger doesn’t seem to affect me much.

You have piqued my interest with the Kanna I will look more into it

@samson I recently started supplementing with calcium carbonate after realizing my phosphorus problem. However, as I mentioned in my other comment, I stopped taking most supplements that I don't consider 100% essential, like B1 or calcium. Now I am reintroducing them with more careful testing

@NoeticJuice 1.
I often noticed during games or training that sometimes I would suddenly get blurry vision, my voice would weaken, i will feeel overwehlmed(seratongenic feeling overall) etc. (That’s why I started looking into what I was taking mid game in the first place ) Then I realized it was this mistake that was causing the drop in performanceExactly overall, less stuck inside my head and more actually doing things. Made me the man i dream to be for around 2 days(sadly i have to space it out 1 a week for safety. Dosage=900mg phenibut HCL )

@lobotomize-me smart, godspeed!

@lobotomize-me try to keep challenges in place. If you're always challenging yourself you don't feel complacent or satisfied.

@Corngold feeling satisfied is based thoughbeitever

This is not what you want to hear, but if you’re not having fun playing soccer you should quit. It sounds like your life is totally devoid of joy. I don’t say this lightly, I say it as someone who had a similar experience playing competitive sports. I now wish I never played sports, and believe strongly that my time spent playing them caused most of the health issues I have today, (but more so, my playing sports in the first place was a symptom itself of my lack of energetic living). I hope you find your happiness, whatever that is for you. I have, and it took me til I was about 40. I hope you don’t have to wait so long. Be well.
What's wrong with competive sports ?
It increases body temperature and T3 so at least one can have glimpse of what it is like having high energy level without using drugs.
What health issues did you get from it ? -
@eduardo-crispino
feeling satisfied is based thoughbeitever
Satisfaction comes and goes. I suppose there are ways to feel complete or to feel that your efforts are good and worthwhile. Complacency is more like "resting on your laurels."
My angle is that this is all very paradoxical and human. People with good jobs that respect them, families, marriage, etc. can feel "satisfied" just knowing that they already accomplished these things.
Some people really shelve their past interests when they get some success in a career / endeavor.
I think reasonable people know that their "laurels" are in the past. On the one hand, it's short-selling to ignore past accomplishments. It should be inspiring to remember overcoming struggles and performing well in various areas. And some of these things are the reason people make other accomplishments.
On the other hand, you can't live in that space. For the things we wish to pursue, we have to pursue them fully. That's the main issue with people who dabble and become inspired but don't commit. In some ways this is most real to me in the form of half-assed research / writing, or musicians that don't seem to grind away practicing and playing on their own.
Everyone wants to study and read and learn, but many tune out very quickly. I've tuned out periodically from various studies too. There has to be a carrot at some point, or else it just becomes self-flagellation over some guilt of ignorance / laziness. Every skill or talent or "goal" is like this, though, is the issue. Even behavior is incentivized towards pro or anti-social behavior (waitresses/hospitality vs police, business).
Further, if accomplishments are only supposed to lead to more accomplishments, then there's quickly a problem with carrot-and-stick mentality. You end up kicking yourself and denigrating yourself for not chasing harder, accomplishing more, "improooving" more, etc. Roddy had a post about type A personalities a while back. Hard-driving types usually get results but it also incurs a lot of cortisol damage. The west is like this, I've heard, and I believe. Everything is hinging on the individual monad because "only YOU can prevent forest fires," "I want YOU for US Army," and "what can YOU do for your country."

@Corngold when one goal is achieved another comes
satisfaction is high vibration because it implies achievemenet and enjoyment
contentment is low vibration because it implies no lust for life and coping . this is basically complacency.we basically agree just im being specific about the word satisfaction

@eduardo-crispino said in Lobotomize-me athletic logs:

True. I think we agree but the words really are complex. "cope" is also basically like saying "battle."
cope(v.)
late 14c., coupen, "to quarrel;" c. 1400, "come to blows, deliver blows, engage in combat," from Old French couper, earlier colper "hit, punch," from colp "a blow" (see coup).Interesting that the "coping" pain is warring with the after effects of actual pain / hardship. Because technically the hardship comes during battle or regular living which is a battle.

@Gardner well, I think there’s a narrative or belief that competitive sports do these things, but really in all but a handful of cases the bulk of competitive sporting leads to metabolic dysfunction. It’s over-exercise, coupled with under-nourishment or incorrect nourishment, typically wrapped in a mythos of sacrifice, (for the team, for the sport, for the coach, etc).
Played for fun, maybe with friends, sure, I could see it being positive socially, but even then, running, depleting glycogen stores, illiciting cortisol response, upregulating lypolisis, hyperventilation. The negatives seem to vastly outweigh the positives, (of course this is just my experience/opinion). Done habitually, these conditions become chronic.
Me personally, I’d say I encountered thyroid dysfunction, excessive cortisol, malnourishment, an unhealthy exercise habit, body dysmorphia, estrogen dominance, hair loss, brain injury, depression, drug dependence,IBS, etc, (general symptoms of low metabolism). I think my experience is not unique. It seems like most professional athletes suffer in the same ways, (whether it’s the weight gain of retired athletes, drug addiction, alcoholism, symptoms of serotonin overload - antisocial behavior, poor sleep/recovery). All just signs of poor metabolic function.
