Second, you need to eat less carbs. A low carb diet will slow you down for the first week or so as your body goes through keitosis.
I find it quite interesting that we have not only the same (correct
I digress...
rottenseed - take it from me, your friendly libertarian free-market economist nutritional scientist,
You are tired because you are
1. Not sleeping well
2. Not eating well
3. Overexerting yourself
4. Chemically/Biologically flawed
I'm going to take a guess and say 3 and 4 aren't the case, so heres my advice:
To improve sleep:
- Double check the sleep apnea (do you breath through your nose or mouth when sleeping?)
- Do you wake up throughout the night? Even if you are in bed for 8 hours, if you keep waking up you aren't getting good sleep. Try sleeping in a pitch black room - it will help you sleep soundly throughout the night.
To improve nutrition:
- I'm guessing you are on the typical American diet, 70/20/10 Carbs/Protein/Fat aka the fast track to diabetes, heart disease and cancer. While the long term side effect of this diet are quite fatal, the short term side effects aren't so great either: lethargy and lack of energy.
- Food is the most powerful drug known to man. The advice I'm about to give you will not only extent your life, it will increase your energy and happiness while you are alive. Heed this advice for even a single week and you will literally feel better than you ever have in your life:
1. Try not to buy anything with a nutritional label - so avoid flour, sugar, bread, rice, cereal, baked goods any thing which has a "Daily recommended value" listed on it.
2. Shop only on the outside walls of the supermarket. This means fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, beef, poultry, pork, and seafood.
3. Eat these foods 3-4 times a day in approximately the following ratios:
Meat: One serving the size and thickness of your palm
Vegetables/Fruits: One serving equal to what you can hold on both hands
Nuts/Fat: One serving equal to the size of your thumb
These are helpful guidelines, what you are aiming for is increase your dietary intake of protein to induce ketosis with sources such as fresh meat and poultry, increase your intake of monounsaturated fats with sources like olive oil, avocados, and nuts, and replace the glucose-spiking refined carbohydrates prevalent in an American diet with high-vitamin, low GI carbohydrates such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
Try this for even 3 days, and you'll see a massive difference.
Breakfast
Bacon
Fresh cantaloupe and watermelon
Smoked Almonds
Lunch
Black Forest Ham
Mixed fruit (blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, grapes)
Avocado
Feta cheese
Dinner
16 oz grilled rib-eye steak
Asparagus
Green beans
Brazil nuts

Not exactly the most advanced logical argument...

Holy upvote jesus, that sentence epitomizes my entire intellectual life.

Debating people without an intellectual curiosity is probably the most frustrating endeavor of life.

but my adult a.d.d couldnt take it anymore..
seen this yet?

much better,clearer and far more concise.
you gave a much fuller context on the situation,and that video is a very powerful video.i just hope your first post does not taint the excellent work you followed up on.
i still stand behind my words,i was angry,and you obviously were seeking a visceral response,so i gave you one.
but i also can recognize when someone is truly attempting to get something across that is important to them,and has the where-with-all to change tactics to get that point across.
good job.
through the years i have been popped in the nose for jumping in without much thought,and i am the better for it.even here on the sift people have called me out,while uncomfortable at the moment,a bruised ego heals pretty quickly.
in the end it is about communication,sharing not just ideas but experiences and knowledge.
here are two of my favorite videos by people i admire greatly:
noam chomsky
http://www.videosift.com/video/Noam-Chomsky-on-Freedom-and-Future
arundhati roy
http://www.videosift.com/video/We-Featuring-the-Words-of-Arundhati-Roy
while you may not agree with their words,you have to admire their ability to bring to light very important issues without romancing our most base of emotions.words are a means to creation and illiteration,they are MINDED things.
please,
never lose that passion you have,i greatly admire that,just temper it with the understanding that the people you are trying to reach may not have the same knowledge,understanding or perception that you may have.
use an open hand,not a 200 lb sledgehammer.
sound fair?
i look forward to your posts my friend,
till next time.
namaste.
For the record, I'm not American.

budzos,
Why does this link make me a douche? Because I called a group you belong to cowards? Because you were upset at the video? I don't get it.
dystopianfuturetoday,
Please show the place in my post where I am equating my personal politics to the struggle in Iran. I read it again and I can't see it.
enoch,
I can't post this video because it is too graphic. Your comment is that I am a troll. Why am I a troll when I post relevant content and write how it makes me feel along with it? This video makes me angry, as it appears to make you. Question is why are you angry at me for showing it to you?
Farhad2000,
Again, I don't see how you got this from my post, can you explain that? I explained why I posted the video, and then I explained why I called Americans cowards, I never said "Iran = America". Still, lets address it. This protest was triggered by election fraud, unless I am missing the point (if so please help me out). You don't think theres election fraud in America, at the presidential level none the less? If not fraud, politicians being bought and sold? Is it not different in degree, not kind?
All,
Why are you projecting your feelings from this video on ME? As opposed to Iran, America, or yourself? It seems as if rather than internalize this, you would just brush it aside (onto me) ...just as in other areas of life. Ironically, this is the crux of the problem.
YOU are responsible for the world we live in.

i know its a parody, but don't ya think the parody tag kind of ruins the fun? demon_ix was getting all work up about it while watching only to realize at the end it was a parody.
In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
It's an obvious *parody, even demon_ix admitted it after viewing the whole video ("this video is a parody of"). Therefore reinstated.
