What I learned from drug addiction may help you lose weight.

It is not only the amount of calories that your body eats that makes you fat- 

it’s your ability to process what you eat efficiently.

Sugar is a drug, a preservative, and an additive to cheap homemade bombs.

It’s a high-powered chemical that requires your body to process it in a specific way to be ‘safe’.

And like all good drugs, your body can only take so much before it’s in an ‘overdose’ state.

Regularly maxing your physical capacity when it comes to pleasure has negative consequences – specifically your body loses the ability to regulate.

You get fat because your body is tired of being skinny, you’re pushing it too hard.

Other variables – Calories in / Calories out – vitamin imbalances – age- thyroid health – pregnancy – hormones -stress levels – physical conditioning – drug or pharmaceutical use – all play into it.

Gaining weight is a physical property; your body creates your mind.

therefore it is imperative you understand how complicated it is.

it isn’t’ a linear number – calories in, calories out –

it’s a dynamic system of –

actions and consequences. 

and your body is honest with the universe.

so you ought to be too.

How did this come from drug addiction?

If you seek the limits of your mind, you must learn to prepare for when you find them.

Doing too much weed = damages your gut, reduces your creativity, reduces your ability to emotionally regulate, and causes nervous system dysfunction. Both depression and mania.

healing and detoxing can take weeks to months to years.

And there are much worse drugs – alcohol will physically dissolve your brain and dissipate through every cell in your body.

Alcohol is a genuine neurotoxin and renders anything it touches almost instantly medically sterile.

Alcohol is also one of the only addictions where withdrawal will outright kill you.

I do not recommend more powerful and dangerous drugs – heroin, cocaine, Meth, MDMA etc.

Even mushrooms and cigarettes should be treated with respect.

Not the respect of our corporate rulers, but respect – Be like the ancestors who lived in balance with the wolves.

You must be your own shaman or you will be lost in this world.
