The secret to dieting

CICO is real - I don't think anyone could dispute that in good faith - but it doesn't exist in a vacuum.

What you're eating (and what your food is eating) has such a profound impact on how you think and feel. If you're trying to form an actual food lifestyle for the long run, you at some point have to go beyond calories and look at macro ratios, consider fiber, prebiotics, micronutrients, inflammation etc.

It's not that we don't have fiber sources in the supermarket (assuming you can access one, admittedly). We've got plenty of fresh fruits and veg, canned beans, etc.

It's all the bullshit around the perimeter, and the highly-refined hyper-palatable versions of everything that often win out. We also have an education problem.

What do you think about the fact that Google Pixel phones are being confiscated in Spain if they have GrapheneOS installed?

This is the second time I've come across this story.

If you look closely, random people are not being taken aside for being seen with a Pixel as the headline would have you believe.

What is true is that Graphene OS on a Pixel is a popular, easy setup that can't be cracked open with Cellebrite et al., and that makes the piggies very sad. Methinks someone wants readers to fear using Graphene OS.
