Bio hacking?

Yes I live a fasting focused lifestyle and eat a ketogenic WOE. I track omega 6 va omega 3 ratios and stay away from highly inflammmatory foods.

No such thing as bio hacking, all marketing bullshite.

There are health benefits t certain diets but as far as weight loss goes, it's calories in vs out, been proven a thousand times. What ever tools you use to get there is on you.

I personally use IF with some longer fasting thrown in and when trying to cut I will cut carbs as it's easier for me to control nutrition that away.

I used Bio Hacking for lack of better terms more or less. The current medical industry wants to give you drugs and perform surgeries to make money once problem is here, but never does anything on the preventative end. When it comes to fighting inflammation in the body they offer nothing except pills. When it comes to fighting mental health they suggest you pay hundreds to some hack whose life is probably more fricked than your own. So I guess I just probing people as to the alternative/unconventional mental and physical health practices they pursue.

If cold adaptation is bio hacking. Sure. There are cognitive and stress relief benefits to cold exposure.

What the hell, I’ve listen to Ben Greenfield in the past, he is the definition of bio hacking...

I’ve gotten into the cold adaptation thing lately. I’ve been doing the Wim Hof breathing for a month now and love it. It is great by itself, but I use it often to lead into a long meditation. I started taking nothing but cold showers a couple weeks ago and was really into it then decided to take an ice bath. I messed up and took the ice bath for 20 minutes and got sick as shite!lol Considering trying a shorter one again though in a few weeks when I’m back healthy.

Not really. It fits my lifestyle nicely and the alternative of being a fat disgusting slob isn’t really my cup of tea.

Can you post any of these studies because every science guru that is diet based disagrees and I have never seen a study that shows this once calories and protein are accounted for.

On your own experience is protein staying the same on both?

Look, calorie deficiency is key to weight loss but I will say this; based on my education and experience that where the remaining calories come from is important. If my protein is dialed in and constant, it matters if I only consume simple carbs (sugar) vs complex carbs. Or even if I consume fat vs. carbs. Not all calories are processed the same in a body. Try eating 1500 calories of candy vs 1500 calories of veggies with a constant adequate level of protein then exercise at a level where caloric intake is at a deficit. You will lose weight with both but see which gives better results. I have done the experiment on myself, eating clean vs. processed crap but kept track of calories, protein, and exercise. Clean won and still wins for me. And eating clean is a broad term, I define it as eating minimal processed foods and focusing on whole food.

I have done Keto, Paleo, and focused on just eating whole foods. They all worked fine even though I prefer keto. Eating highly processed and sugar rich diets didn't work nearly as good. Bottom line, is everyone pick your own way but to say all calories are created equal is not accurate.... and I don't need to read some steady to prove me wrong. Over the past 50 yrs we have been told so much crap by "health studies" that contradict each other its sickening. Remember, figures lie and liars figure. You be your own lab rat and stick with what works.
