OMAD is excellent. The point is not how many calories you consume (your body doesn’t measure it) but by how much your insulin is raised. Of course if you don’t eat, it is at the base level, which incidentally can be higher than someone else’s peak insulin if they are well fat adapted. It takes time, depending on how long you have had the extra weight. Coffee is fine. Double cream in it is fine. Fat, fibre and vinegar suppress insulin (ACV ) whereas carbs and sugar really spike it. Protein raises it too.
You cycle don’t you? Have you thought about getting a smart trainer and plugging your bike on it? Usually you have to take off the back wheel. (You may have to change the cassette to 11 speed.) There are a number of apps you can use. Some of them are little more than providing moving scenery, some are like real life racing and some gamify it.
You can enhance the effects of fasting with fasted exercise.
Thanks Lou. But can they not be summoned by the President to protect/defend the country also ?
I should add, do they have a similar role to our Territorial Army ? Reservists but combat trained & ready.
The National Guard is controlled by the state governments. The President of the United States can activate the National Guard for participation in federal missions, the governors must agree as sate funds are involved.
The US also has reserve units that are under control of each branch of the military.
The US Army Reserve is part of the US Army and cannot be activated by the states. Same for the Air Force reserve, Navy reserve, Coast Guard reserve and Marine Reserves.
Law is everything.
The Posse Comitatus Act has not changed much since that time. The law prohibits the use of the military in civilian matters but, over time, Congress has passed at least 26 exemptions to the act that allow the president to send troops into states.
Then the is the Insurrection act.
The Insurrection Act, which governs certain circumstances when the president can use the military. Signed by Thomas Jefferson in 1807, Congress originally passed the law in order to help fight citizen rebellions against federal taxes.
Over time, the law has evolved to allow the use of troops in other circumstances. For example, Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson used the Insurrection Act in the 1950s and 1960s to send the military to enforce court desegregation orders and to protect civil rights marchers
Could be interpreted as he is visiting Some of the 65K on duty today ? As he said at the same time other around the country helping with covid.
So perhaps not the full 65k in Washington ?
This is just my mind running riot but was thinking, with no crowd allowed at inauguration, it would be a good opportunity to shoot Joe Biden and have the person they really want as President from day 1 (Kamal ). No mobile phones to show what really happened, the media cover it flawlessly and what do you know it was one of those nasty national guard boys who skipped through the net when they were screening everyone, of course he is a nasty, angry Trump supporter because they already have pics of him with his Maga hat on.
It’s ok to say that is just crazy, I can handle it !
Of course, I’m not senile…
