Really enjoyed this panoply of topics, Mike. I hadn't thought about the Roman Empire in a long time, so I enjoyed your discussion on the Caesars. I follow you and recommend your books to everyone.

[@MikeMatthewsFitness]

Thanks for the positive feedback! Glad you enjoyed it.

I too appreciated the Rome discussion!

[@a_woman_who_loves_to_lift]

oh and thank you for cutting through all the hype on intermittent fasting! That helped me decide not to do it.

[@MikeMatthewsFitness]

That's great!

Would IF be good if you are pre diabetic ? If so what is a good eating window to start out ? I’m 5’4 and 159lbs 37y female

[@MikeMatthewsFitness]

I recommend checking with your doctor since everyone is different (as far as being a pre-diabetic). If your doc gives you the go, as with any new discipline, start slow and build from there. For instance, eat your first meal 1.5 hours later than normal and/or finish your last meal 1.5 hours earlier than normal. You can also start from a 16-hour feeding window, then continue shrinking it down until you discover what works best for you personally.

If you have any doubt about the civil war being about slavery just look up Mississippi's declaration of secession. 2nd sentence "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery"
