My stomach hurts. I wanna go home :/

(It's not that bad, I'm just complaining in the vague presence of people I care about because doing so is comforting.)

i'm also gonna try fasting today

i ended up with an ultrasound appointment in the afternoon (1.40pm) and they don't let you eat (or drink much too) so I thought, why not, just go all the way and see what happens 

supposedly there is this enzyme call igh1  which causes cells to grow too quickly

it is caused by eating protein

"caused by eating protein" is about as useful a statement as "caused by drinking water".

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a hormone that, along with growth hormone (GH), helps promote normal bone and tissue growth and development.

So, not something you want to get rid of then. Seems like there's a lot of talk about how much is good and how much is too much, right now, though.

Just do drink some water if you start to feel dizzy or some such; dehydration is bad.

Actually, wait—ultrasound? Definitely do drink water, it's totally possible to literally have an ultrasound fail because you are too dehydrated and for some procedures I think they advise you to drink extra even.

(Of course hopefully you weren't talking about water when you said fasting in the first place but fasting is such an umbrella term so one never knows)

yeah the results for my liver came in and yes, it's still fatty

doctor tells me to lose another 10 -15 lbs on top the 10 i lost, like, it's the easiest thing to lose weight in the world.

 

I HAVE TO STARVE MYSELF

That gene came from a bbc show I saw on youtube here

Supposedly the thing is like putting the gas on the pedal and making your cells generate new ones instead of simply repairing the old ones. hmmmm

[pokari]

Literally starving yourself, of course, would be worse for you than fatty liver (which my doctor also bothered me about, though not recently; chronic stomach pain as it turns out is a much better motivator to lose weight than more abstract longevity stuff :/)

Unfortunately our bodies are stupid-ish and start digesting important tissues before they finish working their way through all the fat, if one eats too little. Who even designed these mortal vessels...

14 forgot to count opps

i've never heard of chronic stomach pain would be cured by losing weight... are you sure it's not a byproduct of something else? like gallbladder cysts? 

i think it's good that the body try to recycle by eating some of the old stuff.

Acid reflux is technically not "stomach" pain, it's true. It tends to feel like it for me, however.

As for "recycling", the issue is more that it's not the "old" stuff that gets 'et, but rather the stuff that's currently running things :|

I definitely like the shojou isekais a lot better on average.

I read https://mangadex.org/title/23013/the-vengeful-white-cat-lounging-on-the-dragon-king-s-lap today and I really quite liked it, even though the plot really hasn't gone anywhere as such. It's just got such comfy bits strewn here and there.
