Having avoided grains/sugar for the last 4 months and seeing the benefits from it first-hand, I'd like to take this old tweet back - I now have a *much* better understanding what @harari_yuval actually meant. @DrPaulMason @FructoseNo @ProfTimNoakes @drjasonfung @nntaleb #lowcarb
Replying to @ikamalhaasan
Yes, but for the parts where he argues agricultural revolution was a mistake and that we are better off as hunter-gatherers!

What benefits did you see first hand Laksh?

It is a very long list - I鈥檒l probably do a blog post sometime in the future. For now, I鈥檒l just say that I鈥檝e lost about 30 pounds till date but, in hindsight it is my LEAST favorite benefit. What started as a weight loss journey has completely transformed my life.

Congrats! Similar story for me, I lost 40lbs since October by cutting out wheat, meat, dairy, oil, and sugar. I eat mostly vegan, avoid most of the processed vegan food, and instead stick to fruits, vegetables, legumes, etc. Biggest benefit I鈥檝e noticed is the brain clarity.

And congrats to you as well 馃檪. IIRC, @manicode was/is on keto - back then, I mistook it to be a fad and unfortunately didn鈥檛 pay much attention.

People are so varied, as long your health improves, eat more of that! One upside to being home 24x7 is I can really stick to my meal plan, vs being tempted to grab something easy while out.

24x7 snacking... I do better on the road. 馃槥

My snacking is worse when I鈥檓 up late working. Speaking of which, getting the right amount of sleep has been challenging; either I stay up too late and don鈥檛 have enough, or I sleep in too long and get too much (and feel crazy lethargic). Thinking I need to add consistency.

Yea my eating is off but my sleep is right on schedule up at 7am most mornings in bed around 10-11

20 hours of sleep? Those awake hours must be an insanely productive 3 to 4 hours. (Just kidding) To your point, I need to get consistent with my sleep routine.
