I wanted to see which courses on edX I’ve enrolled in in the past, and maybe resume one of them or enroll in a new one. I had a dozen of courses in my waiting list. Yeah I am still a fucking lazy ass . But maybe a course made by a reputable university could help me in some way. I tried the first one. Not that interesting. Then I tried a second one.

I won’t accept this situation anymore”. blue pill red pill I have from time to time swollen the red pill. I’ve done it on my birthday last year, where I decided to stop believing in personal development . And start doing some real shit instead. It was not easy at all. It ...

Why I Decided to Switch Off Keto

I have been on Keto since more than one year now. I enjoyed some benefits if I compared my physical and mental health to the pre-Keto lifestyle. But my wife is telling me that I “looked” less healthy than before. It is not about being in shape or overweight. True I am not overweight anymore. It’s that my face looks tired and gives the impression of malnutrition. Besides that, I am feeling not that great anymore; when I eat my meals off the normal schedules, I feel low on energy. Also when I have some additional physical strain, the effect persists until the next day! I thought I was having a healthy nutrition plan since I switched to keto. But being conscious of my body, I think I need some tweaks. Considering the Mediterranean diet My mother is well versed in the nutrition topics, although she has no formal nutrition study background. She constantly recommends me the Mediterranean diet, with the premise that I get everything my body would need: fiber, minerals, vitami...
