    I used to watch your channel religiously until one day you had some man on here telling women how to get a man. Total facepalm moment. I just stopped by to tell you that. Carry on.

  4. Hey Ali, just ordered your book. Will be reading it when I go on vacation next week.
    I am curious.. Can you increase your resources in any way, or are you genetically just given a set of resources? Given you’ve maximized your sleep, working out, eating properly and so on to keep your health at max.
    Or do you simply have to manage your resources better and some people simply have more resources.
    I am super ambitious, but sadly I don’t have the resources to do all I want to do. Now I am burned out, though recovering.

  18. Did you know that the body has a maximal absorption capacity interns of proteins? This is approximately 0.3-0.4g/kg of body weight per eating occasion. It is therefore better to split your protein intake during the day, with snacks.
