These guys called it 40 years ago.

“They tell us that we lost our tails
Evolving up from little snails
I say it's all just wind in sails

Are we not men?
We are Devo
Are we not men?
D-E-V-O

We're pinheads now
We are not whole
We're pinheads all
Jocko Homo

Are we not men?
We are Devo
Are we not men?
D-E-V-O

Are we not pins?
We are Devo

Monkey men all in business suits
Teachers and critics all dance the poot

Are we not men?
We are Devo

D-E-V-O”

Those are all the fun, cool jobs. I need an experienced telemarketer. Not a single call sales cycle. Someone that can build a friendship over the phone and engage referral sources for years. Building relationships where they depend on you to provide a necessary service repeatedly.

Same here. In my youth I would “forget to eat.” I got programmed to eat three meals a day in the military. 25 years later I was fat and out of shape even though I exercised regularly.

I switched to OMD and clean eating three years ago. At 52 I have the same body, energy and performance that I did when I was 22.

I did have to start using a calorie tracker. Not to keep from eating too much, but to make sure I was eating enough. I also track my food to make sure I eat enough protein and healthy fat for muscle growth.

I’m a little vain about my appearance. When a fellow firefighter said “Dude, you’re jacked.” When I was changing my shirt after a fire I had all the evidence I needed to know OMD was working and I made it a long term commitment.

Humans evolved to eat three times a week, not three times a day.

Why are you doing OMAD? I’ve been doing it for a couple years now. Not for calorie restriction though. Some days I can eat 3000 calories in a single meal. Other days I don’t feel like eating so much.

Good idea using the feed bag. I might have to give that a try.

Yep, that’s why I installed a BNC on my HT. My fire department HT I keep next to the bed wasn’t getting out after the trees were fully leafed this spring. It got so bad I missed a few calls. I connected it to my base station antenna that sits on my roof and now I send and receive just fine. A BNC is also much easier to handle in the middle of the night when a fire call comes in, it’s dark, I’m still half asleep and just got a shot of adrenaline.

I also do the 18/6 fast. This is a way of life for me. Humans didn’t evolve to eat three meals a day. That is a product of industrialization. Aligning ones eating schedule with evolutionary patterns gives the body time to clear out a lot of junk.

That being said, my first meal usually includes eggs. It is said that the 100 folds in a chef’s hat represents the 100 ways to prepare an egg. I have a lot of fun with trying new recipes and experimenting. Lately I’ve been addicted to Japanese style omelettes.

I wonder how this applies to trees planted as seeds vs transplants. I learned a couple years ago to mix some local soil into my seed starting mix to allow symbiotic microorganisms a chance to adapt a plant’s epi-genetics to the local strains, resulting in a stronger plant/fungi/bacteria relationship.

This started as a reply and developed into its own post.

I did some anthropological research and it seems that evolution has designed humans to: walk or light activity for 8 hours a day, high activity in bursts for 0-2 hours a day, lazing around for 6 hours a day and sleeping the rest of the time.

Imagine, living the prehistoric lifestyle. You wake up around sunrise, go find some water and start foraging and observing nature for signs. Signs of danger, signs of prey, keeping one eye and one ear tuned to your surroundings while you graze on wild edibles. Unthinkingly letting your surroundings wash over your senses.

You notice signs from the heard of large ruminants you’ve been observing allow for a prime hunting opportunity. The chase, the kill, the harvest. A full belly requires rest and a nap in the shade of a tree.

As the shadows lengthen, the kill is processed into manageable portions and a slow walk for another drink of water, observing and foraging along the way.

As dark sets in the group gathers around the fire, reminiscing about the day, telling stories and planning for tomorrow. You drift into sleep without realizing you’re no longer part of the conversation.

A twig snaps and you’re instantly awake, looking in the direction of the sound. A few minutes pass, there is no danger, you stoke the fire. Maybe lay quietly thinking, making love or doing a quiet perimeter search at the edge of the firelight to ensure danger has passed.

As the sun rises you wake up not knowing when you feel back asleep. Your energy levels are high because you eat and sleep in natural rhythms.

I believe that this is the natural rhythm in which humans were designed to exist.

People think I’m strange or lazy because I follow this pattern. Wake up, tend the garden and animals, workout, eat, rest, office work, eat, garden, family time then sleep.

I’m 52 and nurses are amazed that I’m not on any medications. My bloodwork is great and my stress level is low.

Living a natural lifestyle is different and normies are brainwashed into thinking it’s weird. I think it’s weird to be hypersensitive, overweight, pre/diabetic and stressed.

This is your daily reminder to touch grass, get some sun and observe what’s going on around you.
