What do you do in regards to dairy intake? I know you're low carb and low sugar, and that eliminates many "dairy-inclusive" foods from your diet. But, how do you view milk? Raw milk? Cheese? Yogurt? And so forth...
Protein is food. The basis of your diet should be protein. The most universally applicable fueling tweak is for almost everyone to eat more protein and drink more water. Protein is non-negotiable while fat and carbs are negotiable. When it comes to dairy, it impacts different people differently. What works for me: a bit of Core Power (https://amzn.to/3pnPLI6) in my coffee in the morning and in a shake in the afternoon (with a scoop of whey and ice) then kefir before bed.
Re: Tooth and Claw, there's rather a preoccupation in some circles with a purported sissification of America, with a variety of educational bogeymen put forth as evidence. But is it really true, and are we really worse off with an emphasis on empathy and inclusion? My blue collar public schools certainly had little room for such things, but a lot of future American adults were marginalized and left behind. Perhaps those of us who survived the crucible of mediocrity and occasional violence were stronger for it, but were the kids who were left behind a necessary cost to the nation? And for that matter did it really generate fitter members of society? Conversely, many of the talking heads flogging this notion come from the most privileged and soft upbringings imaginable. Take Tucker Carlson, a poster child for pampered upbringing, now advocating for testicular lasering to regain lost manlitude.
I have to wonder if the concerns about empathy and inclusion are really just code for insecurities about an America that is increasingly diverse. Nature has no regulation -- predators may eat all the prey (and then see their own numbers collapse as a result). But nations' strength and stability come from many factors. Out of necessity, the colonists had to leverage shared responsibility for each other to survive. I'd argue that empathy and inclusion make nations stronger. Get all the kids playing time (at least until varsity and comp leagues), because you never know who's going to grow, and who's going to flame out. The black or gay or immigrant kid that isn't marginalized may be the next Tim Cook, Sergey Brin, or Condoleeza Rice.
