The Chris Abraham Show

"When cities shut down at the start of the pandemic, streets were emptier. There was more speeding, more drinking and driving, and less seatbelt-wearing. Deaths and serious injuries spiked for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike."

"And it didn’t stop once cities reopened. The first half of 2021 had the largest six-month jump in traffic fatalities on record. City leaders and advocates hope the infrastructure bill will help strengthen safety policies."

"What’s causing this spike in traffic deaths and what’s being done to stop it?"

Naked Conversations: How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers

From the creator of the number one business blog comes a powerful exploration of how, and why, businesses had better be blogging: Naked Conversations. According to experts Robert Scoble and Shel Israel, blogs offer businesses something that has long been lacking in their communication with customers -- meaningful dialogue. Devoid of corporate-speak and empty promises, business blogs can humanize communication, bringing companies and their constituencies together in a way that improves both image and bottom line.

My dirty adapted sustainable one-meal-a-day (OMAD) diet

tl;dr: my intermittent fasting golden ticket is a one-meal-a-day framework that doesn’t chase making calories or macros. Sometimes my daily calories will be 800 and sometimes 2,000, and that’s OK.

Both my cardiologist and my primary are pleased with my progress. My most recent labs clear me on diabetes and all my other labs are within normal ranges. I will tell you what I have been doing. I will also admit all of my foibles. I'll be as honest as possible.

This won’t be a very long post because it’s very simple. So, tl;dr: I only eat one meal a day, whether it meets either my macros or my calorie count. It’s never perfect and I fail and fallback and overeat all the time—but I force myself to track all my mistakes on MyFitnessPal and I always rejigger my Zero IF app to reflect my adapted eating windows and fasting windows. If I am going to cheat, I want to cheat transparently. I sometimes feel like I am three distinct people: my id, who binges and suffers from extreme gluttony; my ego, who generally stays pretty silent; and my superego, who is incessantly trying to steer this bi-articulated bus that is me. So, while my id is being a dick and insisting on eating whole bags of chips and dip, my superego is desperately trying to minimize damage and soberly try to enforce accountability by not allowing my ego to hide behind not tracking everything into the calorie and fasting logs.

One meal, and that’s it. It can be a large meal, it can be a salad, it can be a restaurant meal, or it can be a carefully prepared nutrition-dense and macros-perfect bespoke meal I made a home. One eating period, that’s it.

I will never chase calories. Today’s one-meal was probably ~900 calories. So, today will be a calorie-restricted day. Not intentionally, but it’s OK to under-eat one whole day. Tomorrow, it might be 1,500-2,000 calories. I had been a little obsessed with making sure I get up to 1,500 calories-a-day, but it’s not worth it, especially since everyone generally underestimates rather than overestimates calories. So, who knows?  And, as I said before, science and medicine and even hallowed pseudoscience shows clearly that it’s way healthier, over the course of your life, to miss a few meals than it is to overeat. If quality longevity is what I risk, I am in!

To repeat, most people develop a sort of limiter after eating high protein, low carb for a while but I don’t seem to have a quality seity setting. I don’t have a working fullness gauge. So, I need to do it in emulation. So, that’s why I have such short eating windows. I am allowing time to replace fullness.

Can Americans be convinced to eat less meat?

AT THANKSGIVING Americans express gratitude for family, the harvest… and a big, juicy turkey. Americans consume the most meat per person, but that’s not good for the planet. Could they cut back?

The Economist’s Jon Fasman and his sons prepare the Thanksgiving turkey. We go back to a nationwide contest to find the perfect chicken. And Caroline Bushnell from The Good Food Institute discusses how to wean Americans off meat.
