Read the latest book about him.....Bruce Lee: A Life.

Excellent work. The latest theory based on all the evidence now just coming out is that he died from a heat stroke from over doing his training.
I'm a firm believer in not over training. I strongly believe in load management.

There are two major causes of injuries.
1) RSI --- repetitive stress injuries --- Tiger Woods' back and knee injuries are an example
2) Contact/collision --- getting wack on the head with a hockey stick or elbow

5 small meals a day will just have you releasing insulin all day long. Not what someone who has had trouble losing weight wants to do. It's recipe for failure. And this thread was about obesity not gaining muscle.

Humans are adapted to fasting. We've been doing it for 2.5 million years. It's natural for us and you call it a fad. Nope. Every major religion incorporates it somewhere. Think that's a fluke.

The fad is your apps............

So Dr. Fung is just trying sell books eh? And I said he is a Nephrologist. What's your point? Doesn't mean he can't research nutrition as it's applied to the human existence. It does mean that the majority of his patients are obese and either diabetic or pre diabetic. Which gives him a wealth of practical experience. Is everybody who ever sold a book a charlatan trying to bilk the public?

I feel your approach is mostly out dated and has failed over and over. It's no wonder we as a society have been getting more and more obese as time goes on.

Interesting you mention Fung, I heard of him for a while and started reading his book "The Obesity Code". He has many interesting videos on his YouTube. Including this one about saturated fats.

For years the biggest health lies have revolved around eating carbs and reducing saturated fats and replacing them with poly unsaturated fats that are chemically produced, which means they are cheaper and much much more profitable.


But the dogma that a calorie is a calorie is a calorie is simply not true. The human body is much more complex than CICO, there are hormones and essential minerals that are required for basic biochemistry. Another book you may wanna look at is called "The Salt Fix" by James DiNicolantonio which reveals another big fat lie about how low sodium actually kills you.

Might want to make a seperate general health thread , since this diverges from the OP.

That is where you are wrong! Your way is a fad, a system which one cannot and most will not do as a lifestyle.

Do you really believe someone can eat as much as they want because they are doing keto? Tell me you do not because if you do, you are wrong!

I eat 4 to 5 times a day but never more than 2200 calories in a day. Lots of greens and fruits as well with lots of egg whites and lean meats and I maximize food volume provided it fits into my calories. I'm 5ft 11, weigh 167 to 169lbs and have a 30-inch waist. I've put many associates and friends on the same eating style as opposed to diet and exercise regime and it's amazing how it's worked but hey, continue on if you feel you look good, knock yourself out.

I never said eat as much as you want. I'm saying eat to satiety. With a high fat diet that won't be much

Looks like you are in great shape. Your immune system must be thriving.

Thanks I've read it and also the mineral Fix. I'm a big fan of DR. Nicolantonio.

If you want to know the history behind how the food industry and corporate America have been lying to us about saturated fat and cholesterol. And thus the diet- heart hypothesis by Ancel Keyes and friends. The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz is the book to read.

Yes most vegetable oils are just industrial seed oils which have gone through so many chemical processes that they are basically oxidized when coming out of the bottle. Canola oil, Sesame seed oil, Sunflower oil and soybean oil are highly inflammatory polyunsaturated fats that are now thought to contribute to CVD in humans.

I have seen a lot of banter on here, some tough words, but that one was genuinely concerning. I hope this guy doesn't own a van.

I've asked him a couple of times if he prefers execution or internment camps to remove us from society. Because that is what he's advocating.

My Immune system is fine and I rarely get sick now or pre-covid but that doesn't mean I want to play with fire and unnecessarily risk catching Covid and passing it on to family and friends with weaker immune systems.

If you believe being fit and eating properly assures you a quick end to dealing with COVID you are misinformed and not living in reality. Yes, your odds are better but not by any means guaranteed.

No, really. Tell me how you feel locking down when hundreds of flights from India full of covid come here and spreads in the GTA where most of these passengers end up??

Is it because I had Easter dinner with my family or didnt sanitize my hands??? LMAO
You really need to keep up there kid! There is a 30-day flight ban on flights from India. As a matter of fact they are not allowing folks who were foolish enough to chance nonessential flights back.

There was no ban on flights from India at Easter time or before was there..........

I have connections in Orissa. The situation has been dire there and getting worse for months.

Yet our government that is so quick to impose restrictions here thought nothing of letting in numerous flights in from this hot spot.

Tell me how that makes any sense.


Yesterday, April 27th 63 International Flights arriving at Pearson today.
Including connecting flights.

A very poignant story for sure. I wish him a full and speedy recovery and am glad he took the time to share this.

Most likely the only reason he is still alive is because he was fit enough to give as much immunological resistance as he did.

Once again I will reiterate those who are the healthiest and least immunologically challenged will fare the best when encountering this virus. Those that aren't will suffer much worse outcomes.

This thread is about a 13 year old girl dying. At no point did I refer to or mention anything about India or hand fucking sanitizer.

Oracle would never resort to whataboutism seeing as he's scolded me a few times for doing it.

So you're telling me that India just got sick and months before coming here they were fine?? LMAO

Its the GTA they flock to and guess what?? Its the GTA that has generated the highest cases!!! But you dont see that, unforunately.

Indian flights were coming here for months. They have many covid passengers. Now they want ME to lockdown because its ME who is spreading covid??

And if you think in 30 days India can get their shit together as we have struggled for over a year ourselves with our expert scientists and doctors recommendations, I have a piece of land to sell you!! 😂

Because I feel sorry for your REPORT button being mashed to a pulp lately, I'll leave what I really think of you out. 🤣

Give your head a shake bud.

Hehe, the comment was to smallhatchet not Oracle. I think Oracle just likes playing devils advocate sometimes, as much as him and I don't see eye to eye he seems fairly intellectually sound. Not so much with smallhatchet.

I never agreed with nonessential flights being allowed! One more thing you have completely wrong is me REPORTING anyone! I never do because I enjoy having a laugh at your expense.

Hundreds of people dying from covid vaccine complications and its no big deal to you.
"A review of available clinical information including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records revealed no evidence that vaccination contributed to patient deaths."



"“The idea is that we are vaccinating millions of people,” Mazo said, “and, unfortunately, when you look at 96 million people, some of them might die, and they would have died [anyway even] if they hadn’t been vaccinated.”
