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

Although CBT-I is the best and most durable treatment we have for insomnia, it can have side effects. When people carry out "Sleep restriction therapy", which is a component of CBT-I, they sometimes experience excessive sleepiness, reduced vigilance and slowed reaction time. These effects are especially likely to occur at the beginning of the program, and they disappear when sleep is no longer restricted. Sleep restriction therapy is also meant to be used for a short time (usually 2-4 weeks), and should not be continued if your sleep has not improved substantially in that time. [2021] - Judith R.

Passions are the best topics of conversation, particularly if you have a few in common. [2013] - Laurie Davis

If you want to be happy, all you have to do is stop thinking about yourself and help others. The less you think about yourself and the more you help others, the happier you will become. This is a fact. [2006] - Michael Anthony

Once the conditions are in place for a reversal and following the lower time frame momentum reversal, trail the buy-stop or sell-stop to enter the trade one tick above the high or below the low of the last completed bar. Place the initial protective stop one tick beyond the swing high or low made prior to entry. The entry will not always be executed on the next bar. It may take several bars before the trailing one-bar-high or low is taken out and the trade executed. [2009] - Robert C. Miner
