I do a 16 hour fast, nothing but black coffee, for 16 hours a day 4 times a week and a minimum of 12 the other 3 days a week. I went from an A1C of 13.4 to between 5 and 6 for the past 3 years taking no diabetes meds at all. Low carb diet (under 100g of carbs per day and never more than 40 in a 2 hour window), and moderate exercise level as well. For those with metabolic issues I highly recommend this approach.

It's also really good for anyone with metabolic diseases. I was diagnosed with diabetes, CKD, and high blood pressure a few years ago and my overall health was very poor. My friend put me onto his metabolic disease diet and workout, which was mostly resistance training with some weight training as well. In less than 6 months I was off the diabetes meds and my kidney function had improved a ton and blood pressure back to normal. It's been smooth sailing since, and I am not living at the gym (home bowflex 3 times a week with some free weights maybe an hour a session) and I am not on a calorie count either. Just eating right what I do eat. Weight didn't really drop but body fat percentage and waste size sure did I am scared to fall and be that old lady in the commercial...."Help I've fallen and I can't get up". However, I never considered the benefits of that but yea....I could definitely see that being beneficial and not too hard on these old joints of mine either.

Yea....fitness of any sort will definitely help. Strength training for sure is beneficial is benefiical to stave off sarcopenia. Just make sure you don't wear out your joints doing it and struggle with RA because of it. Friend of mine owns Podaima Performance, a gym that specializes in fitness for people over 40. He too recommends intermittent fasting with training happening during the fasted state. He likes the combo of strength and resistance as well to build muscle and joint health. I would say that is now 2 people who know a crap load more about it then I do recommending it so I may give it a try.

I do that every day. So far we have all survived though.

I knew Morris from the Village, and he was a genuinely nice man and not at all the alter ego he portrayed on the forums. With the exception of his disdain for Lyle Bauer, and some doozy conspiracy theories around that, he was just kind of a normal old guy with some real far out takes on some stuff. He wore a tin foil hat, but really was a harmless guy who openly admitted that he revelled in the contrarian role he played on the forums. Pretty sure I saw Tburg there getting lessons from him....lol. That was years ago....wouldn't surprise me if he is holed up somewhere in a tin foil lined room awaiting the arrival of Lyle Bauer and his new world order....lmao. Osborne Village never disappoints....the hippies flocked there for a reason.

Most of the sayings, jokes, and cultural references on the show are very typical of everyday reserve culture. They incorporated it very well and while I certainly can appreciate the difficulty in doing that, I can tell you that it came very natural to these actors. Trauma hangs over every reserve resident every day. It's the only thing they know well. You can not write a true reservation story without talking about suicide, despair, etc etc. and you cannot write a reserve story without acknowledging just how much humor they still enjoy in spite of that.

Love me some Scorcese....but I am going to wait and see what others say about this film because it will likely just piss me off. DiCaprio in the lead as the sympathetic white man lead is enough to get my gall. Maybe I'm wrong about it and it will be a good film, but I've seen too many movies where the show is told through the eyes of a heroic white man trying to save the misunderstood heathens. Just once put an indigenous man in that role for cripes sakes. Always, like all of history, told through the eyes of a white man. Just like Dances with Wolves etc. etc. I like the awareness these movies bring to the dark history, but I sure wish they would go with the true indigenous story without the white man intermediary just once. How we actually lived it, not how it was observed by others and not making some white guy the hero in our story.

Honestly, those roles probably came very easy to them. Not much of a departure for them at all. That's what made the show so good I think. Just find a few funny young indigenous people and tell them to be themselves and relive some of the funny moments they remember. The actors had a lot of input into the crafting of their jokes, and you could see that indigenous humor shine. It's that acknowledgement that makes the show special I think. It talks about deep issues but does so just like I would with a group of my buddies, with jokes and laughter and an effort to make the best out of a bad situation.

It was just uncanny how well this was done. As someone who grew up on the reserve I could literally put a name of someone I knew to every character on that show.

Never heard of this show before but it is now going to be must watch TV for me. That's too bad. It really showed just how funny and how much indigenous people enjoy a good laugh. You won't find more laughter in a room than sitting around having a few beers with buddies on the res.

Yea...I hope not too. I want to go with dignity, although it certainly isn't anyone's fault when their body gives out I can certainly understand their frustration.

He lived a very full life. It sucks that covid got him, but his last few months he was so frustrated with his physical limitations that his quality of life he wanted was unachievable and he would have been just playing out the string. I know that sounds harsh. but he really was a proud man and having to get others to wipe his bum was killing him too.

My Dad was 86 when he died, and just prior to him getting sick we had convinced him it was time to live part time at the old folks home down the street from his house. The compromise was that we would keep up his yard and house and he could go home on weekends with one of us staying with him as he was really physically struggling with rheumatoid arthritis so day to day tasks such as cooking or even getting in and out of the shower he needed help with. Best we could do because he was not giving up the house, and at that age....why should he. Unfortunately, he went into St. B for some unrelated health issues and got caught up in one of the very early hospital covid outbreaks in the province and never came out. Was before they even had the vaccines.

Just search Nasty Nate on the forum search bar, was he Nasty Nate here or was he gone before MBB? At any rate a search of that moniker should reveal a plethora of urban legends about Morris from the village and the harrassment he faced from Lyle Bauer. lmao.

I am not sure what kind of dream world MBT is living in where he thinks he has NFL hope. Maybe if several teams around the NFL were to lose their entire QB stable to injury they might want an old vet presence to teach youngsters how to be pros, but even that is an extreme longshot and would never happen before the NFL season. Did Henoc use ancestral spirit guides to mediate this conversation?

Lost my mother when I was in my 20's, a very tough loss for a family. The mother is always the glue that binds. Lost my father 4 years ago, he was my hero and has kind of set my family adrift. The estate is still not settled, as my father had many holdings that were complicated by partnerships etc. and I haven't seen some of my brothers and sisters since the funeral. We are all older now, and my older siblings have their own children and grandchildren, but it sure is tough to maintain immediate family ties without a parent to anchor things down. I really feel for anyone going through the loss of a parent. It is some of the worst days/months of your life afterwards.....so let's cut Biggie and Dru a little slack around here for a few weeks if they are reeling from their losses.

He just has no clue as to when to get rid of the ball into the 2nd row.

I think they are comfortable giving him a chance. I would imagine that Walters is looking at options right now unless Rose is ready next game and we roster Daramy at returner instead. I would imagine that McCrae will see reduced time on O because of return duties. I mean he got winded running a long one back last week, they are going to have to keep him fresh for returns lol.

He definitely is. However, at least 4 of his sacks have been coverage sacks imo. That's not to diminish anything, just that he is getting to the QB after his first read and if not for stalwart coverage he may not have these sack totals. Beating your man and staying with it is still quite an accomplishment though considering one of those guys was the GOAT.

Agreed on all points.

Stop the hate. Any message board that is Bombers and CFL related that has traffic is a damn good thing for our team and our league. Not sure why you are feeling threatened by any of them? People wanna talk Bombers, and that is a good thing. Some like the conversations light, breezy and moderated others want to dive deep and be able to speak more freely. There is no right or wrong.

You can bet your bottom dollar that in a 9 team league with lots of player movement each year that our coordinators are pretty damn good at changing up signals and making their plays hard to pick up pre-snap through subtle changes week in and week out.....especially in situations where we are facing a player we just released, or spent a lot of time with us. Further to that....even if we had a guy intimately familiar with the ins and outs of our play book to pass that knowledge to his new DC, and then his new DC coach everyone up on it in the span of 3 days would be pretty damn tough. Yea, I think Couture being a former centre would know a lot more of our OL tendencies than Desjarlais at OG. Also, Desjarlais would be a couple years removed from the Bombers so his memory of such things may not be as good.

Perhaps, opportunity was not his friend either. He was a bit of a tweener for sure.

Burnett was fast but was always a step behind the play because it took him a split second longer to mentally process what was happening. Unfortunate, if he would have had more football instinct he would have been a gooder.

I thought Walker played a strong game vs Calgary, but yea...we could use some DL help. Again....not on MOS. We can't just dress ham and eggers. If the guys Walters brought in aren't up to snuff there is no use keeping them. I will trust our coaches evaluation of talent and fit. If a guy is good enough they will find a way to roster or PR him. These guys were deemed expendable. Our recruiters need to find some DL that aren't. Hansen will help things out, and I am hoping we are in talks with other recruits to get them up here. Bad time of year....guys are hoping for NFL spots still.
