@1JohnOni @drsarahtennant @MetroUK I wrote this article. I’d be thrilled to hear the solution of how we decrease work and increase value….

@Sensei_JohnnyLa And can shit on anybody from up high

Isn’t is amazing that of all the 195 countries in the world, #COVID19 decided to mutate into #beta and #omicron in 🇿🇦 of all places. Or perhaps we’re just bloody good at finding variants from elsewhere 🤔 Pinsihment for excellence. Shame on you western leaders

[Dr. Neil Barnard @MealsnotMeds]

Whatever anyone says, this is not food. @tednaiman is pulling his hair out as we speak. And why would a vegetarian want a roast beef flavoured product? Is it because we’ve evolved to find it bloody delicious

[Dr. Neil Barnard @MealsnotMeds]

@DoctorTro I’m doing the same thing at the minute. Pushing my protein. Staying off cheese, no nuts in the house....
Been at it for a week so far after a bit of a stall weight wise. I’m no good at moderation. It’s all or nothing for me

[Dr. Neil Barnard @MealsnotMeds]

Definitely chimes with the Meals not Meds lifestyle philosophy

@KetoHiking @DaveKeto Love to design my own tattoos but I can’t draw for toffee. Luckily I have a guy/girl who can take what’s in my head and bring it to life. That’s pretty amazing. There’s weird stuff in my head

According to this study, I’m likely to die this afternoon. I think I’ll take my chances....

Your 'before' could be someone's 'after'.
Even if you're not seeing the results you've idealized in your mind, focus on the journey.
The improvements to your health and vitality are a priceless investment.
Be kind to yourself. You've taken the 1st step - that's the hardest part.

Perhaps the Great Barrington Declaration isn’t the mad idea some people think. Recovery from Covid gives same immunity as vaccine https://t.co/ManN3TzVHS and PHE suggest a focused protection strategy, maybe the time has come to let young people out and protect the vulnerable?

[Dr. Neil Barnard @MealsnotMeds]

@EngineerDiet @peterpalmer52 @MarikaSboros Perhaps I misunderstood. I think there are some people in the LCHF space who give the impression that their health makes them immune. That’s not true. Their health makes them resilient, not invincible. Many governments have hamstrung their people by not emphasising true health

[Dr. Neil Barnard @MealsnotMeds]

@EngineerDiet @peterpalmer52 @MarikaSboros That’s not true. No doubt maximum level of health pre infection improves chances of survival post infection. Same is true for all disease. Chances of meaningful recovery much greater the healthier you are before you get sick. Doesn’t mean the healthy can’t become ill at all

[Dr. Neil Barnard @MealsnotMeds]

Absolutely this. As soon as more people understand this simple truth, we’re in our way to a healthier society. Inspirational stuff @fitfilipina44

It’s been a little quiet on the MnM front lately - I’ve had a bit of a digital detox. I had to come back to share the amazing story from a husband and wife team, Chris and Helen. What a pair of legends https://t.co/M8g0PVYT3r. #LCHF

@NormalWine @TuitNutrition @keswickvineyard He comes from good stock. Mr and Mrs Barnard are pretty special too 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

[Dr. Neil Barnard @MealsnotMeds]

@FoodLiesOrg Biltong is so much more than beef jerky. Ideally it should be naturally air dried under a South African sun but hey ho. You make do. Any eating plan that says to reduce Biltong would be a definite no from me. Easy to make your own too. Droewors too

@DrSamPappas @ACSMNews @Mangan150 @nntaleb @_Tom_Pappas @QuintusCurtius @AJA_Cortes Be interesting to see any notes on form. I can do 50 bad pushups or 30 really good ones.
I’m currently in 🇳🇿quarantine. The nice army officer complimented my pushup form. #thankyousir. Only managed about 20 of those at the 3rd set
