We don't know when it will happen, but we do know it will happen. Eventually, the 'plan' will come to fruition. And I'm sure we all want to be at our healthiest and best when that happens.
I was thinking that perhaps we could have an ongoing thread where those interested would post their routines and even questions about how each of us can be our healthiest. I'm sure there are those here who are bodybuilders, for instance. Perhaps they could post about what they do, what they eat, etc. There are probably those who want to get in better shape. Perhaps they could post questions specific to their concerns and the frens could answer.
For instance, I would love to know what my fellow frogs are doing on a daily or weekly basis to keep fit.
Exercising? (What kind)
Eating a certain way? (what, specifically)
Taking supplements? (which ones)
Let's help each other get as strong as we can, physically and mentally. And if people are interested in this idea and would like to partake, I will eventually post some info about our spiritual health, as well. What do you say, frogs? Are you ready to get in the best shape of your life? Let's gooo!
Here are things I did to make myself healthy and feel great (not to mention dropping some weight as well).
Cut off all soft drinks and alcohol
Cut off sugar and most sweets and processed carbs
Reduce carb intake
Stop eating after 5 and don't start eating until 9 in the morning
Switch from junk snacks to nuts
Drink a glass of water with lemon squeezed in it, with a pinch of backing soda in the night to manage acidity.
Cut all seed oils and most vegetable oils (Olive oil excepted) and use butter, and animal fat whenever possible in cooking.
I cannot believe how effective and easy to do all this is. The fact that our indoctrination system never taught us any of this is criminal to put it mildly.
The doctor once told me to stop consuming anything white: sugar, salt, flour, rice, pasta. Sugar is the hardest, because they stick sugar in almost everything in the store.
Dont forget white salt - equally deadly as well.
Yep, this is why eventually you will end up giving up anything processed from the store.
I included salt.
I don't know how I missed it!
Actually the Salt(sodium) protects your thyroid. Thyroid function is primarily regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), It is secreted by the pituitary gland to control thyroid hormone production and secretion, **thereby protecting the body from hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism **. So cutting off the salt(sodium) is bad idea.
So is pink Himalayan salt okay then?
Yeah, thats what I use. It has a lot of minerals, so its good. However the best is apparently black salt (has more minerals).

I’m a diabetic and found that xylitol (a natural replacement for sugar. But please research it to see if it’s for you), cut my addiction to sugar. It tastes like sugar and is granulated like sugar. It’s natural, not a chemical. FYI.
Be careful with it around dogs! My mother in laws pup ate a package of gum out of her purse and almost died from it.
Have you tried monk fruit extract?
Yes that true!! Thank you for saying that! It’s poisonous to dogs!!!
Have you been able to find monk fruit? If so, please let us know where. The monk fruit I see is mostly erythritrol with just a tiny bit of monk fruit.
It can make you fart. Also, it's made from corn.
Great info. Thanks.
Yes they do! Soybean oil too.
I agree about the criminality. I think most of us are questioning everything we were taught about health after what we've been through the last few years. Thank you so much for the post! 14 hour IF is good.
These days its becoming close to 17-18 hours, but 14 is my minimum. In the end your body just stops craving and you feel so full after one meal that you don't feel like eating anything else.
How long have you been doing this IF?
More than 6 months now
Olive is fruit. Agree with all those choices.
