Quotes of the Day

TR or time restriction-also known as intermittent fasting-is the latest trend in ways to cut calories. But this can still backfire if you overeat. I have, much to my amusement, watched patients gain weight on a one-meal-a-day approach by turning their meal into a contest to see who could eat the most pizza and ice cream. But the more significant downside of this approach is that most people who try it end up very protein deficient. One not uncommon scenario that we see with TR is that a person loses weight on the scale, but their body composition alters for the worse: they lose lean mass (muscle) while their body fat stays the same or even increases. [2023] - Peter Attia

Everyone with reflux is different, and even foods that are forbidden during the induction phase may be well tolerated by some individuals, including onions, tomatoes, garlic, and peppers. These are all idiosyncratic foods; that is, some patients can tolerate one but not another, and some are better tolerated cooked than raw, such as tomatoes and onions. Some people can tolerate garlic flavorings but not garlic itself, and so on. [2014] - Jamie Koufman

The vertical horizontal filter (VHF) indicator measures the strength of a market's trend by comparing the difference between the highest and lowest values during a given period (P) to the cumulative day-to-day change. A higher value indicates a stronger trend, and a lower value indicates a weaker trend. The indicator does not measure directions, but simply the strength of the trend, in whichever direction it is moving.  [2009] - James DiGeorgia

The most efficient breathing rhythm occurs when both the length of respirations and total breaths per minute are locked in to a spooky symmetry: 5.5-second inhales followed by 5.5-second exhales, which works out almost exactly to 5.5 breaths a minute. The optimum amount of air we should take in at rest per minute is 5.5 liters. You can practice this perfect breathing for a few minutes, or a few hours. There is no such thing as having too much peak efficiency in your body. [2020] - James Nestor

The deposit should be made out to your lawyer's trust account whenever possible or, failing that, to your realtor's trust account. I like to provide the deposit in two steps. I provide an initial deposit with the offer, to show that I'm serious, and then the rest of the deposit upon the removal of any of my conditions in the contract (for instance, following an inspection and approval for financing). [2009] - Don R.
