I would then go relax at the local and usually get pissed with friends from 30 -40 years back in time.

Just what do non drinker eaters do  when not hunting, fishing, diving ?
A typical non drinking day would for me be, 04:00 go scuba diving, get back and do a 200 km bike run a hr or two thereafter.
I would then reload, flytie or  fix, make something till late afternoon. Sleep 2 hours and the go fishing till early morning.
Another variation would be hunt bushpig Friday night, then deep sea Saturday, sleep till 21:00 nightfish Sat night and then do a breakfast run Sunday.
Really lived to the fullist I did.
.....but I enjoy pubs and merry folk, rowdy people and ten min best pals.
I said I would not drink for 3 months, it has been interesting, not at all difficult, but a bit boring, bit like no salt in a meal I would say.]]> General Discussion Treeman https://systemz.online/general-discussion/tough-guys-and-shit-happens/#post-4604 Re: Tough Guys and shit happens. https://systemz.online/general-discussion/tough-guys-and-shit-happens/#post-4601 Fri, 14 Jun 2024 07:21:37 +0000 General Discussion Tripodmvr https://systemz.online/general-discussion/tough-guys-and-shit-happens/#post-4601 Re: Tough Guys and shit happens. https://systemz.online/general-discussion/tough-guys-and-shit-happens/#post-4600 Fri, 14 Jun 2024 06:57:47 +0000

'Easy fix' and 'no beer of any kind'. I'm trying to process that and filling miserably.


You need to adjust the diet to the risk profile.

Insulin is a fat storage hormone. The first place the fat goes is on the liver, then the blood, a.k.a cholesterol, then the body.

Insulin resistance usually means a fatty liver as well. If left untreated, it turns to sclerosis of the liver, which is irreversible.

You can have insulin resistance, and absolutely normal sugar levels in the blood, so blood sugar is not a test of anything, except to tell you something is already badly broken.

The initial diet change feels drastic, it's purpose is to get the liver back into a healthy state.

Once you achieve that, it's up to you to figure out how to keep it that way.

I'm talking from experience. My fasting insulin used to be 19. Now it's around 5, with no meds.

I'd rather do medication and liposuction...]]> General Discussion janfred https://systemz.online/general-discussion/tough-guys-and-shit-happens/#post-4598 Re: Tough Guys and shit happens. https://systemz.online/general-discussion/tough-guys-and-shit-happens/#post-4597 Fri, 14 Jun 2024 01:14:06 +0000 General Discussion oafpatroll https://systemz.online/general-discussion/tough-guys-and-shit-happens/#post-4597 Re: Tough Guys and shit happens. https://systemz.online/general-discussion/tough-guys-and-shit-happens/#post-4596 Fri, 14 Jun 2024 00:49:15 +0000
Stop eating any bread, potatoes, pumpkin, other starchy vegetables and all fruit.

No beer of any kind. No drinks with added sugar.

For alcohol, any clear spirit with no mixer , in moderation .

Instead of fruit, berries.

Rice is your friend if you are physically active - gym, manual Labor, etc.

Eat as much as you need, as often as you need.

The hardest part is not putting the wrong food in your mouth.

We have seen it quite a few times in our work, especially with old people. The husband dies and the woman gets diabetes, usually six weeks later.

In your case, it is probably something which has been slumbering, and was finally activated.
