Otherlands is an epic, exhilarating journey into deep time, showing us the Earth as it used to exist, and the worlds that were here before ours. ![]() This is the past as we've never seen it before. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lena is in effect a reincarnation of his dead wife, a woman who wants to reinstate his 'original' identity. Most obviously, it is a reworking of 'Vertigo', the story of a homme fatal (Koller - black widower?) who kills two women because he couldn't say the right thing, because he behaved like a man should, rather than the way he really feels.

Also, people who follow ketogenic diets find that fasting is quite a natural extension of their diet. However, intermittent fasting tends to be more powerful than LCHF diets since it restricts everything. Both have the goal of lowering insulin, which I believe as the key drive of obesity. There are many synergies between the two approaches. Most of the speakers there follow the Low Carb, High Fat or Ketogenic approach, but I tend to use incorporate intermittent fasting quite extensively in my Intensive Dietary Management (IDM) program.
