Berberine?

Milk Thistle

Vitamin B

I dunno. We will focus on this later.

A random study here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3174102/

It says running by itself wont lower A1C. And neither will cardio by itself. But a combination of the two will do it.

Another study here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5473541/

This says fast short distance running (not necessarily sprints) will actually reduce sensitivity and increase glucose stuff. more metabolic stress. Interesting.

Another study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7013863/

This one is saying that (with some help from chatgpt, that: Sprint Training twice a week could bring down by 0.5 points (so like 5.9 to 5.4). And Once a week could shave off about 2 points.

Holy mother of god

Remember this: Running’s impact on HDL LDL

I generally implemented this this year. About 9 miles a week. And HOLY SHIT. My cholesterol (LDL in particular) has dropped significantly. More than a statin.

This is insane dude. The studies work.

Next study I want to see is with blood sugar.

Keep this going

Oxygen is used to generate some intermediate stuff.

Glucose breaks down to two pyruvate

Pyruvate + hydrogen is lactate

lactate + oxygen is energy

• Eating more fiber, lean protein, healthy fat, and water-rich fruits and vegetables can increase GLP-1 naturally and help with weight loss. 
• Some small studies show that certain supplements — like berberine, curcumin, and ginseng — boost GLP-1 levels.
• Although you can increase your GLP-1 naturally, levels stay high for a longer time when you take medications to increase GLP-1. 

3. Soluble fiber

There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is the type that increases GLP-1 naturally, and is found in many healthy foods. These include: 

• Fruits 
• Vegetables
• Whole grains (like barley and oatmeal)
• Legumes (like beans and lentils)
• Flaxseeds
• Chia seeds

I think the weight loss is really, really driven by lower sugar responses.

I remember eating a lot of this and loosing weight. It’s not only the protein, but also the low glycemic index. I think that is important.

Marathon is going to require 30 to 50 miles a week.

Fuck.

Thats 6 miles a day.

What the fuck.

Lets start with 30 miles first.

10 miles, 6 miles, 6 miles

I start all these runs in the back.

I am among fatties.

I see too many of them with marathon paraphernalia. How the fuck are they running this marathon?

When I see them, I don’t feel “wow, I can do it too”

I see “wtf, I dont want to look like them when I do it”

Fuck yea dude, lets do it.

I used to always say “im going to go to the bar”

But these days I say “I am going to hang out with ABC or XYZ.

This is very interesting.

It is a reflection of how I think differently these days.

Its actually not a great story.
