Per the diet/exercise conversation, I've done quite a bit of the TNT Plan / Metabolic Diet plan over the years and it works amazingly.

The Slow-Carb, Low GI thing is excellent and easy maintenance.

All has been in conjunction with full body workouts. See Pavel's RKC kettlebell plan. Excellent for reasonable muscle building, tone, health and fat loss. Not great for massive hypertrophy, but that's not what I'm after.

Right now:

I generally do about a 12-18 hour intermittent fast per day. I generally stop eating around 8-10 at night. Start eating at noon-ish or so every day. Depends on what time I want to work out, as I don't like working out on an empty stomach. When I stop my fast, and throughout the early afternoons most days, I'll have a couple of mugs of bone broth that my wife makes from scratch from the carcasses of the animals I harvest here on the old homestead. Along with that, I'll have a couple of protein shakes.

I'll eat pretty much whatever I want in the evening until I shut it down for the night's fast.

Workout is usually double-kettlebell cleans/presses. Kettlebell lawnmowers or bent over rows. Heavy double-kettlebell swings. I'll work in some kettlebell goblet squats on occasions. I do this three times a week, usually Mon, Wed, Fri. On off days I may do some lighter kettlebell work like Turkish Getups, bend presses, etc... If I'm not feeling like kettlebells, I have a set of heavy resistance bands that I'll do similar workouts with. (When my arthritis is in heavy flair-up, it may be my imagination, but I feel like the resistance bands are easier on my joints. Also, it's much easier to pack the bands for travel than the kettlebells.)

Each workout takes about 30 minutes right here at home. (No need for a gym membership or seeing dudes duck-lip posing for selfies in the locker room.)

Works well. I don't feel like I am missing out on anything. I no longer try to stay at a super low body fat anymore, but it keeps me fitter than most guys I know 25 years younger than me.

Ironically they’ve (with kirby) only played bama once in the regular season (covid year) and lost by 17. All the others have been sec champ. & playoff games. And to add, bama doesnt have saban anymore.

UGA went 13 years without playing in Tuscaloosa. 2007 to 2020. In that same time they also don’t ever play at the Swamp. Their fans will say “but it’s still in Florida” but look at the crowd mix it’s definitely 50/50. A neutral site game. During this same time Tennessee has been down so who have they played regular season that’s been challenging? It’s mostly been Auburn. Talk about a cakewalk schedule for more than a decade. They’ve had it easy. Time to play real schedule Georgia.

Now that we're 1/4th of the way through the season.

I think Mizzou is going to lose 3 or 4 games. They hosted two teams that are average and nearly lost both.

Still to play that could be losses

at A&M
vs Auburn
at Bama
vs Oklahoma
at South Carolina
vs Arkansas

Before the year I'd probably have only had 2 of those teams beating them...but after seeing how they've struggled in back to back home games I think any of those teams can beat them. South Carolina's DL will continue to be a problem for anyone they face.
