I still remember writing an XMPP-Client and IRC-Client servers which were widely used across our organization. Later on, we developed our cloud-based chat application with mobile apps. Then we had support for xmpp/irc for those chat apps, eventually dropped the xmpp/irc support too. I think the reason is major players (Google/FB) dropping the support for xmpp and at the same time evolution of many cloud-based chat apps.
XMPP is well standardized and documented. If it could have been TEXT based instead of XML many developers could have adapted (IMAP protocol still being widely adopted).
Vegan or Meat eater doesn't matter. It is always the amount and type (processed or non-processed/fresh) food that we consume is what makes an individual to gain or lose weight. I have reduced my weight without altering the type of food that I take with the following steps
1. Eat when you are hungry
2. Even when you are hungry, eat only a medium portion(your stomach can be half filled).
3. Reduce sugar in take (any form of sugar)
4. Include physical activities in your daily work / home life. Walking via stairs, cycling or walking to work etc.. you don’t necessarily need to do any dedicated exercise routines (well if u have time, its good to do).
5. Do not consume food after 7 pm. ( can take small portion of regional fruit if you are really hungry).
6. Most importantly, get a good sleep (10pm to 5am).
7. Get rid of all the measuring apps that you have in your phone, fitness, calorie calculator.. these are useless. Every human is unique in their nature and each individual needs certain amount of energy to do a work(differs from individual to individual) .. so we cannot set a common standard (BMI ) for all.
Always have time to cook fresh food on daily basis. I am from southern part of India and its very easy here to get fresh fruits, veggies, meat on daily basis. Mostly importantly, we buy on daily means and cook for the day. We never carry/food for the next day. Almost zero processed/frozen food. I believe processed food are the root cause for most of the health related issue that we face now a days.
