Genetics screwed me over, combined with society putting sugar in everything I ate as a kid, the processed foods, fast food, etc. I've dealt with diabetes since early 30's, grandmother was type 1 and lived to be over 90, I learned a lot from her with diet, and watching her inject herself daily was a constant reminder. Tried metformin early on in my 30s and nausea took me out for several weeks so I had to stop, but got it self controlled and back in line just through portion control and cutting out bad carbs/white flour and staying away from sugar in general.. but this past year ended up 9.4 and I had to change some things up, they wanted me on metformin again or mounjaro and I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Outside of more diet & exercise changes, I think Berberine has helped me a lot this year with both controlling a1c and cravings. I've changed a lot though, more plant-based proteins, hemp seeds and flax seeds, which I can sprinkle on anything, adding plant-derived minerals to my water daily, which honestly I think has helped energy levels, using a product by youngevity, plus staying away from red meat as much as possible, still do it occasionally though. I'm doing fruits sometimes but not that much, generally strawberries or oranges, but definitely increased vegetable intake, even just simple things like mushrooms, red onions and spinach leaves mixed in my omelette or on my sandwich, still doing some wheat bread but organic peanut butter is usually my "treat", most other nuts out there cause bloating which drags me down.

Up until this past year I always hit plateaus with energy and fitness levels, but still maintained what I needed to and was under control.. now I feel like I'll have a 4ish pack by this summer    I'm not perfect, but workouts feel easier and I have much more energy.. so that, combined with BTC looking mighty bullish, I'm heading into 2025 now in my 40's with a positive mindset.

Keep up the good work gentlemen, holidays are the toughest for me. I don't get much time to respond here but I read a lot, and health is important, I just don't trust a lot of the pharmaceuticals out there so I'm always looking for natural ways, one day I might not be able to anymore, but I won't go silently.

my typical breakfast was the

greek yogurt
 a teaspoon of the powdered cinnamon stir it in the plain yogurt looks like it is chocolate color.

then drop some nuts say walnuts or almonds or brazil .

this is a very high protein high fat meal with very little carbs.

you can vary it with a few blueberries or a small banana.

I could list what fruits work for me, but you could be different as body chemistry matter.

Bad fruit for me:

Oranges
Grapes
Raisins.

Good fruit.

Blueberries
Strawberries
Banana
Apples
Pears .

Worst foods.

 Bread
Pasta
cereals.

As for a1c I was 12.1 when discovered which is basically dude you are dying do something.

With my a1c in the 5.3 to 6.3 range itmis much much much better.

Salted grass fed butter, other dairy stuff and eggs keep you alive and induces/maintains ketosis.
There's just the little problem that muscle needs carbs to be build, and there you are challenged to find the most tolerable form of carbohydrates for yourself.
It hasn't to be much, but a few calories before you get to physical work - preferably in the form of green vegetables (including potatoes). Ditch fruits, they are almost poison for a perfectly working metabolism. You could mix in coffee, which acts as an insuline moderator. It does produce an initial blood sugar spike in healty people when consumed with carbs, however. If you didn't already do so, there's a bit to reseearch about coffee and its effects on insuline in various combinations, but it may be of some value for you.

I agree generally with what you say here, but the bolded part I'm going to have to vehemently disagree with.

That is a myth continually perpetuated by the media.

As long as you stick with fruits that are low on the glycemic index, and stay away from consuming both high glycemic fruits and dried fruits on a regular basis, you are good to go.

I get probably 80-85% of my daily carb intake from low glycemic fruits (in the form of protein shakes twice daily, berries mostly mix with full fat milk), and the other 15-20% from vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, carrots, peppers, etc). Some days it's more like 95% fruit as carbs. I'm probably right around 50-60 grams carbs on average daily. I don't eat any other forms of carbs during the year, except for maybe a once or twice a year slice of pizza or sushi as a special event/treat. I don't drink any alcohol, not any more, period.

At 55 years old, I'm shredded with extremely low body fat. In fact my metabolism has never been higher or better (well, since early college days anyway).

So fruits as poison? Kill metabolism? Complete media BS.

 There are not a lot of 55 year olds in that kind of shape!  You're obviously doing something right.  Nice.

I do hemp seeds they are good.

USA  store that I use a lot is nuts.com

I usually buy in bulk https://nuts.com/nuts/almonds/less-salt.html

 I get the 25 pound box they give a discount and I use a few other methods give me about 25 more off so 25 pounds for 175.  They are fresh tasing and I have a good way to store them.

When I buy this way it means 60-90 days of almonds.

I then buy the big bag of walnuts. large savings . Then I do a few buys of smaller bags to give more choice. Then back to the almonds.

The biggest issue with my meds = constipation

So I will eat two cereals mixed together with some nuts and blueberries or a banana.

I use these two cereals

https://www.amazon.com/Poop-Like-Champion-Highest-servings/dp/B0186GEX8E/ref=sr_1_1_pp?

https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Path-Smart-Healthy-Organic/dp/B001ELL3DM/ref=sr_1_2?


say 3 or 4 times a week.

and eggs with meat cheese peppers onions and kale 3 or 4 times a week.

I only use this ketchup



https://www.amazon.com/PRIMAL-KITCHEN-Organic-Unsweetend-Ketchup/dp/B07DL78BF5/ref=sr_1_2_f3_0o_fs_sspa?

vs Heinz as this has 2 carbs and Heinz has 4-5


I mostly use it on the eggs.


The keys are stay under 50 carbs a day always

and try to average 25 carbs a day more often than not .


Plus the exercise.  The pushups and stair routines are helping a lot.

I will soon be 68 in Late Jan. I am in decent shape I am hoping to stay in shape to spend some corn on travel in 2025 and the following years.

I do hemp seeds they are good.

I avoid the seeds at all costs.  They don't burn well.  

Speaking more on healthy eating habits...  I've never considered myself a healthy eater.  Quite the opposite actually.  I have always avoided foods that I think are horrible for you though.  Mayonnaise for example.  Why would anyone put that in their body?  

One thing I have been adding to my protein shakes lately is superfood powder.  Here's an example:
https://www.amazon.com/Super-Greens-Premium-Superfood-Powder/dp/B07FLDK6ZY/

I feel like these days it's pretty easy to get all the good nutrients and stuff.  Sure, it might cost you $150/month, but it's worth it.  I feel great these days.  Sad that I went so long in life before really taking nutrition seriously.  I always just thought I was athletic and looked good so I must be fine, but I can't imagine how great I would've felt 20 years ago on my current routine.

The first part of January is going to be a rollercoaster for Bitcoin.
I want to see the correction before any God tier pump.
To increase the likelihood of never going that low again.

Happy New Year of the Bulls. Wish y'all good health with no unfortunate accidents.
I want to still observe Bitcoin price with y'all through Next Year


Is already 2025 in most of these countries https://www.khaleejtimes.com/uae/new-years-eve-10-countries-that-will-ring-in-2025-before-uae

Great thing about the hemp seeds is I don't really taste them, they're just there... flax I'm doing mainly for the omega3's but also fish oil supplements. Eggs are a big part of my diet also and we have chickens so that helps, 7 days a week, I used to use ketchup but that's something else I cut out this year... with multiple (opsec) kids on a limited budget, I'm already pushing it with the other supplements I've added in, so we end up with "normal" ketchup which ends up with added sugars so it's easier and cheaper for me to just cut it out. Kids make fun of me but my omelettes are literally green, caused mainly by the spirulina and chopped spinach leaves. Almonds my stomach has tolerated in the past but I don't like the taste of them plain... roasted is another story but I'm usually not as hungry these days and sometimes the roasted stuff adds sugar, the ones you linked look decent enough though assuming they don't just taste like plain almonds and then I won't eat them lol

Pushups aren't an efficient use of time for me personally, and trying to do them rapidly isn't great, slow and controlled there would be the key.. stair stepping I could see being more beneficial if you are talking about walking stairs and not pushups on stairs, but seriously whatever is working for you keep it up, you're doing great. I need to shift my exercises, always cardio in some form, but I like to mix up the muscle groups being worked to confuse my muscles and keep things different/fun.

People trust Bitcoin exactly because it doesn’t require them to trust anybody else. They just have to trust the code. Bitcoin is designed with a mathematical purity that removes systemic complexity. Bitcoin’s simplicity minimizes the chances that something can go wrong.

W0w, thanks for the insight!!!

NONE of us were aware of that.
