The founder of the popular Russian social network VK.com and Telegram messenger app Pavel Durov - who turns 33 on Oct. 10 - has posted a list of seven things he’s given up for health’s sake. He recommends the same for anyone “involved in the creative process.”
So here are is the list:
1. Alcohol
2. Meat
3. Pills and any other pharma drug
4. Nicotine and other drugs
5. Coffee, black and green tea, energy drinks
6. Fast food, sugar, sodas
7. TV and its analogs
Durov writes that all these things “are addictive and affect the mind.” He promised to one day explain why he gave them up in more detail. Durov urges people to follow a healthy lifestyle.
"Society built on the traditions of self-poisoning has no future. We can build our lives and our world on the other values – values of creativity, self-development, and hard work,” he wrote.
>Society built on the traditions of self-poisoning has no future. >founder of the popular Russian social network VK.com and Telegram messenger app That hypocrisy is as palpable as my own.
Daniel Hernandez
I'm zero for seven but I gotta do what I gotta do life is short for everyone.

Out of these, I still take some pills, drink green tea and watch TV "analogs". I'm cutting down on them though.
Dylan Hughes
that's covered in point 7. as for the rest >1. Alcohol it's too much of a social bonding thing until you're so loaded that you can be the weirdo who doesn't have at least one beer or wine >2. Meat mostly agreed, but biodynamically farmed shit is ok in moderation, as is shit you hunted and fished yourself. the factory farming system must die. >3. Pills and any other pharma drug mostly agreed although sometimes railing a few non-opioid painkillers is fine >4. Nicotine and other drugs some drugs, like psilocybin, are cool in moderation >5. Coffee, black and green tea, energy drinks green tea is excellent, black tea is ok, coffee is dangerous but espresso is cool >6. Fast food, sugar, sodas fast food can be fine if you stay away from shit like fries. the rest in moderation blah blah
idk why idiots need to occupy extremes but I guess it keeps them from being bored and makes them sound deep to retards
Benjamin Cox
green tea is a killer
Cooper Smith
Oh yeah coffee is dangerous. You stupid fucking niggers lol
David Mitchell
>meat
How else are you going to get things like creatine? Not to mention optimum protein for building muscle and athletic activities? Supplements? That just admits to meat's importance.
also, animal fats contribute to healthy testosterone levels.
>coffee
Of course use in moderation, but I highly recommend using coffee or caffeine for preworkout because it is proven to help boost t-levels and give you a more efficient workout.
Ideally you should only use coffee and not energy drinks and only 3x a week (before every workout)
fuck this guy, everybody knows that he is a piece of shit who is doing retarded things from time to time, acting like a faggot. this
Adam Sullivan
He thinks he's some sort of prophet. Why does he want to give up these things? To live forever? His shortsightedness isnt admirable
Nathan Wilson
False. Caring what others think of your life style is a blue pill.
Leo Brooks
Autismo
Dylan Ramirez
he is a garbage human being, an arrogant asshole, everybody in russia knows that
Gabriel Ramirez
I'm not 7/7 but I ballooned up to over 21 stone a couple of years ago and started eating keto to lose weight and my mind has never been clearer. I do eat carbs now and whenever I eat them, especially a lot of them, my mind feels cloudy and I just feel completely lethargic.
>1. Alcohol I used to be a big drinker. I'm talking at least 10 pints whenever I went to the pub and that was 3 or 4 times a week. I drink very ocassionally nowadays.
>2. Meat I'm not giving meat up
>3. Pills and any other pharma drug I never really did take any pills, I don't even like to take painkillers for headaches unless it's verging on unbearable.
>4. Nicotine and other drugs Never smoked
>5. Coffee, black and green tea, energy drinks I do drink a lot of coffee, especially in work. The problem I find is that I need to keep topped up because when the caffeine wears off I really come down to a groggy state worse than I was before
>6. Fast food, sugar, sodas Been guilty of this recently with it being the Christmas season
>7. TV and its analogs My girlfriend watches a lot of normie TV and I can't stand it, I just play vidya instead but it's no better.
Jaxon Ross
>coffee is dangerous why do you claim this?
Ryan Turner
How are meat and tea a poison? And if you give up on pills you can die from flu
Aiden Rogers
the trips have been noted and their benefits will be enjoyed by you lineage, but i'm 3/7, i like nicotine, meat, and the occasional energy drink.
Ayden Taylor
Objectively wrong, most societies have had alcohol and when most do fall it's never been because of booze. This man is a faggot.
Chase Cruz
really, i thought it was based how he threw money off the roof to watch broke russians fight each other over it in the street below
>It's too much of a social bonding thing You know no one really cares if you drink or not right? People who don't want to hang out with you because you don't drink never liked you in the first place.
Jason Martin
There's literally nothing wrong with soda.
Levi Morris
>Meat Why though?
Nicholas James
Agree with most of the list except for meat and tea.
Things like alcohol are also fine in moderation on special occasions.
Daniel Walker
How does one give up on 7? Do I stop watching YouTube videos? Or only tv programmes?
Jack Hall
There's nothing wrong with tea either, but according to this list you shouldn't drink it
Cooper Lopez
How does he plan on not dying though?
Evan Edwards
He's rich, can eat organic shit every day, regular person can't afford this lifestyle
Kayden Flores
Cringe post
Xavier Nelson
That sounds really boring.
Jacob Thomas
He had a hairtransplant and is on roids.
Jacob Hall
He seems for the most part based but he's wrong about meat. How is he gonna get his nutrients?
Wyatt Perry
I understand all of these except the meat part.
Hudson Carter
>1. Alcohol Do not drink >2. Meat I do not want high levels of estrogen. >3. Pills and any other pharma drug Reasonable. >4. Nicotine and other drugs Do not do that. >5. Coffee, black and green tea, energy drinks Tea is not bad depending on which you drink. >6. Fast food, sugar, sodas Agreed making your own food is important. >7. TV and its analogs Agreed and did this almost 8 years ago.
Gabriel Morris
you need to go back
Asher Williams
>alcohol. Nope not going to happen. Having a good drink paired with a juicy steak once in a while makes life worth living.
I’m happy to give up everything on that list except meat.
Benjamin Adams
>Meat Lol no.
Jacob Roberts
This honestly. Social media is cancerous. Video games are probably worse but at least they are somewhat fun. Social media shows the worst side of humanity
Samuel Bailey
He's so hot. I would unironically suck his cock
Eli Johnson
>Most readers commented on his post rather skeptically asking “Isn’t the Telegram app addictive?” and how to cure illnesses without pills – “Maybe we should use water charged from a spiritual source?” one online user commented. People also advised Durov to stop using social media.
>One of his old employees, former VK technical director Anton Rozenberg - who is currently trying to sue Telegram - claims Durov never sticks to his principles in real life: He used to own several luxurious apartments in St. Petersburg premises, stayed at posh hotels and drove an expensive Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman.
Leo Gonzalez
People who don't like autistic faggots with unhealthy and dogmatic life choices is really just normal, though. No one likes vegans, either.
Moderate drinkers live longer than no-fun-allowed subhumans, Ahbed.
Liam Perez
This. The vegetarian thing always bothers me, it's like they do it just because, hey, it's a thing.
I can understand not eating red meat, sticking to birds, fish, lizards, insects etc. as red meat is linked to bowel cancer but there's no good argument for going meat free.
Ian Baker
>gave up meat >looks like a faggot yep, checks out.
Caleb Lopez
>following example of russian niggers
yeah, naw
Henry Diaz
Because his life is probably super interesting right now and is financially independent. He can afford dropping all those small buzzes because he is buzzing hard from just success in life.
Carter Baker
A lot of foods are linked to various cancers and other health problems, as with everything moderation is the key.
Connor Kelly
who cares what this basedboy says? >look i copied a website, haha, i copied a messenger i am so smart
>Pills and any other pharma drug How to stop my hypertension pills poltards? Has anyone been on and off of blood pressure drugs? I take a mixture of telmisartan, amlodipine and calcium blockers.
the only poisoning he's doing here is the well poisoning the Bible specifies very clearly that fish and beef are acceptable for consumption, among many other meats pig is not, the obvious reason being that it is less healthy
Dominic Evans
>He promised to one day explain why he gave them up in more detail Fucking faggot
Hunter Bailey
Yup, iam doing that but my doc says that pills are for lifetime if you get disorder like blood pressure. I am into breath control and yoga. But only jogging seems to be helping.
Charles Carter
>Yup, iam doing that but my doc says that pills are for lifetime if you get disorder like blood pressure. What was your blood pressure before you were prescribed meds?
Daniel Kelly
How old are you? Med student here.
Joseph Parker

Wow you are very edgy faggot.
Thomas Powell
HAHAHAHAHAHA you fkn autist
William Howard
Damn thats early onset. Dont stop taking your medications
Blake Rogers
Bet the guy masturbates 7 times more than he did before now.
Bruh i am taking medicines since 2015. Got a huge bp reading while I opted to donate bloop. Follow up with doc lead to my present lifestyle. Though my bp is controlled now, i have frequent panic attacks and anxiety. I guess this is the side effects of the drugs.
Tyler Howard
Depending on how fat you are, maybe you don't need all these pills. I was 300 lbs and had something like 145/90, and now it's normal when I lost it all.
Can agree with all that, but meat is just absolutely necessary for your body. Especially so for minors.
David Morgan
That's what my current aim is, i weigh 85 kilos and my height is 180cms. Trying to come under the 75kg - 80kg bracket.
Adam Ross
POO IN LOO
Leo White

Henry Richardson
Wtf you arent even that overweight sounds genetic
Leo Gomez
Any electronical technology that releases hormones without any effort in reallife, therefore, it includes fb, Jow Forums, yt, video games and so on
The stuff suggests images to your subconsciousness that aren’t real to trick it into stimulation without any physical requirements and that’s like MDMA compared to love.. it’s nothing but a waste of time, merely a distraction
Brayden Gray
I’m glad god wrote a book regarding the perfect diet
Joseph Cook
Yeah user i know, it's kimda depressing, i can't lift weights and stufff.
Brandon Gomez
Right, the choices are vegan OR pharma-stuffed meat of all kinds all day
Cameron Stewart
. Alcohol I never drink it in reality but I have no objection to drinking but no more than 1 night a week >2. Meat I eat lots of meat. >3. Pills and any other pharma drug I somewhat agree. I've stopped taking painkillers when I have a headache or whatever. It amazes me that people take loads of these things. Soma? >4. Nicotine and other drugs Eh, like alcohol, I don't do it but doing it once a week is okay in my book. >5. Coffee, black and green tea, energy drinks I agree. But I had a terrible OCD/anxiety problem and giving up caffeine was just one of the little things I did that I don't know if it made a difference >6. Fast food, sugar, sodas I just drink water. I like sodas but just can't be assed buying them. Fast Food is avoided because Im a prude and like to prepare my own food. Sugar? I probably do consumer too much sugar in the way of hot chocolate drinks and whatnot. >7. TV and its analogs Yeah I never watch television except for 1 film per week, which I like to watch just to keep abreast of what film culture looks/looked like.
My own addition: Have "screenless" days every other day. I.e. today I am allowing myself pelasure time on my laptop, browsing Jow Forums, reading news, etc. But tomorrow I will have a screenless day, where I don't use any laptops, computers, etc. except for if it is for work.

>giving up meat >giving up nicotine, coffee and tea >helping the creative process retard can't appreciate the mindfulness of being on keto, but sure loves the meat up his ass

Drinking is bad, smoking is bad, but die healthy is wasteful.
