In this video, you’ll learn 5 reasons why a high  protein diet is so effective for long-term weight and fat loss. If you’ve be en struggling with yo-yo weights or a weight loss plateau, a lack of protein in your diet may be to blame. Researchers in this study compared a high protein diet to low-fat, low-carb, high fiber, and very low calorie. The high protein approach, on average, increased fat burning by 18% and decreased losses in lean body mass by 56%. A high protein diet helps you lose body fat and belly fat while preserving lean body mass for 5 reasons.

First, protein stimulates glucagon release from the pancreas. Glucagon is a hormone that has the opposite effect of insulin. Insulin is your fat storing hormone. It’s made in the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin’s job is to lower blood sugar and store energy.

Glucagon is your fat burning hormone. It’s made in the alpha cells of the pancreas. Glucagon kicks in when your body doesn’t have available energy from food. It helps create new glucose. This can happen via liver glycogen, amino acids, or body fat.

Again, when glucose, or insulin is high such as after eating a higher carb meal, you will not be burning body fat.

You will be burning the carbs you just ate. By keeping insulin production low, the body can access and utilize fat as a fuel source more effectively. Glucagon also helps increase energy expenditure, or metabolism, and satiety, which helps with creating an energy deficit over time. The second way a high protein diet aids in fat loss is by increasing growth hormone.

Growth hormone directly on the fat cells and stimulates the breakdown of the stored triglycerides into their fatty acids and glycerol components.

These travel into the bloodstream to be used for energy elsewhere in the body, such as the muscles. A particular amino acid, glutamine, has been shown to dramatically boost growth hormone release in the body, which then may promote greater fat burning. Due to their high concentration of protein, animal proteins are the best way to get glutamine in your diet. For example, 100 grams of beef has 1.2 grams of glutamine, while 100 grams of tofu only has .6 grams. The third way a high protein diet aids in fat burning is through an increase in protein synthesis. Protein provides the building blocks of body tissues and muscles. Muscles, when activated, have a high metabolic demand.

Meaning it uses a lot of energy. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism.

You can’t maintain muscle without adequate protein dosed correctly. Younger adults can get away with 20 grams per meal, but adults need 30, and older adults usually need closer to 40 per meal for optimal muscle health. The fourth reason a high-protein diet is great for fat loss is because it boosts metabolism.

Protein requires more energy to be digested compared to the other macronutrients. As a result, the thermic effect of food (TEF),  which means the amount of energy expended through the process of digestion increases, which increases the overall amount of calories the body burns during the day. As you can see on this chart, compared to fats and carbohydrates, and even alcohol protein has the highest thermic effect of food. Note that the thermic effect of food only accounts for about 10% of your total energy expenditure for the day. But that does add up over time.

The fifth way that a high protein diet helps with fat loss, is due to sustained satiety, or fullness. Protein reduces ghrelin – the hormone that makes you feel hungry. And increases cholecystokinin (CCK), peptide YY, and GLP-1. These are hormones that make you feel full. In fact, protein works like the diabetes medication Ozempic, and the weight loss medication Wego – which is just Ozempic in a higher dose.

These medications are GLP-1 agonists, meaning they act like GLP-1 in your body. After you eat, cells in your intestines release Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and another incretin hormone, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). This triggers a moderate insulin release and blocks glucose production. It also slows down how fast food leaves your stomach, making you feel full. GLP-1 is also thought to directly affect the appetite control area of your brain, as well as certain hunger hormones.

The effect of a high protein diet is to reduce portion sizes and snacking for an energy deficit over time.

This study found when people are allowed to eat as much as they desire on a diet that consists of 30% protein, they ended up consuming 441 fewer calories per day compared to eating only 10% protein. But remember, while we want an energy deficit, we don’t want a protein deficit. An energy deficit will lead to weight loss, but if you’re not careful with how you structure your meals, more of that weight could be coming from lean muscle mass. This will ultimately slow your metabolism and increase your risk of weight regain.

If you want to start to incorporate Chinese Herbs in your cooking and diet what would be the herbs that you would keep in your pantry. Let me share my favorite top 10 Chinese herbs that are versatile easy to use and easy to pair with other food or herbs. They are delicious and they can be used in your herbal tea or herbal soap or dishes, to warm you up, to clear your heat, or to boost your energy, to calm your mind, or to relieve minor symptoms.

I got you covered in these 10 popular and safe Chinese herbs. Hi everyone, welcome to Chinese Herbal Pantry.

My name is Shirley. I’m a Chinese medicine practitioner and a Western medicine pharmacist in Australia. This channel is about how to improve general well-being and to relieve minor symptoms by using Chinese herbs at home effectively and most importantly safely.  You probably always are curious or believe in the healing power of Chinese herbs and are inspired to want to start incorporating Chinese herbs in your everyday cooking.

You want to keep some delicious, nutritious, and commonly used Chinese herbs in your pantry.

So, they are there when you need them.  But there are so many Chinese herbs which ones should you keep in your pantry. One of my online  course students I have asked this question before, which I already answered in this video. However,  in that video, I literally just gave them the 10 herbs without explaining what their functions and  how to use it because they have gone through my course they know what I’m talking about but for  some of you probably don’t know what those herbs are, how to use them and this is why I’m creating  this two-part video series – the Top 10 herbs for your pantry. Please note that I will still go  through the properties of the herbs, the Chinese medicine functions, and how to use them quite  quickly in this video, assuming that you already have some basic understanding of Traditional  Chinese Medicine.

Please do more reading and learning yourself with some credible websites and  Chinese medicine books. If you are not that kind of person who can do self-study and would like to ask questions to someone that have experience, you can consider joining my online course which I’m going to teach soon. If you are interested to learn more about the course, please go to this link to join the waitlist, so you’ll be the first to be notified when I launch my course.

In this course, I teach you how to basically create your own Chinese herbal pantry, and I’ll give you recipes that suit you and teach you how to modify them for your own use. Okay, without further ado, let’s start with the list, as you can see on the screen here or you can see on the table here.

These are the top 10 herbs or healthful food ingredients that I think will be great for your pantry. Of course, you don’t have to buy them all at once. You can start with one or two, or a few of them, and then as you get more comfortable with cooking and learning. And understanding the  herbs and learning how your body responds to the herbs, then you can slowly build up your  own Chinese herbal pantry.

These ten herbs have a variety of functions that are able to support your general well-being, to help you through the four seasons and to relieve minor symptoms.

If you learn the simple and appropriate combination that suits your own needs, these ten herbs should be quite easy to find in your local Chinese herbal stores or local Asian grocery shop. I will talk  about five herbs in this video and the other five in the next video. Otherwise, this video  is going to be too long so we’re going to start with this plate which there are five herbs here So the first one is the goji berry.

Okay so the goji berry in Chinese is Gou Qi Zi (枸杞子) and in Cantonese sometimes we just call it “Gay zi” okay So, the thermal property is neutral, and we classified it as Yin tonic. The Chinese medicine’s function is to nourish the ‘Essence’, the Yin, and the Chinese Medicine Blood, and it also can support the Eye Health.

Many of you would have known, or already heard about it, or even tried it because it has made popular or even trendy in the West when it was found to be a type of superfood in recent years.

Yet it has been  used for thousands of years in Asia. Goji berries are widely available in many grocery shops now in Western countries or health food stores. I wish eventually many other Chinese herbs would be as accessible as Goji berry now. So, Goji berry is neutral according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

So, you don’t have to worry about it too much whether you are a cold or ‘heaty’ person or whether you could use it. It tends to be quite safe and that’s why in Australia  a lot of them mix it with their granulas or their cereals in the morning it is sweet and  very easy to incorporate in your everyday diet you could eat it as snacks you can sprinkle to  your cereal your yogurt or your smoothie or you can make it as herbal tea you could add  them to your herbal soup in my first video of this channel is actually goji berry and  the Chrysanthemum flower for Eye Health the soup recipe that.

I share here often  have a small handful of goji berry because it is give a gentle sweetness to the soup  it’s not only adds the health benefits to the soup it also makes the soup more pleasant to  our eyes because of its red color they are so versatile hence they are truly loved by many okay and the second herbs new medicine black and calm the spirit the Chinese name is Cantonese is this one is another very  popular Chinese soup it’s often used together with the goji berry and you can see in many of my soup  recipe.

I use them a lot together for the same reason for its sweetness for its color and for  its additional health benefits which is for to 25 hour Chi and to 25 hour Chinese medicine blood and  it’s often here to be able to add healthy color to a very pale face so in age a lot of women like to  eat this however its thermal property is warm so be aware if you are very prone to hit size don’t  use it that often or remove the pits because it will help to reduce the warmth the other reason  that’s very popular is also because it can calm our Shin which means calm our mind or spirit so we  do use it for relaxation which.

I already explained in one of the video in this channel you can go and  watch how to combine with other herbs to enhance the ocean coming or Spirit coming properties that helps to keep in your pantry is Ginger is a food is a spice that is everybody know about  it but you’ll probably be surprised to hear Ginger is considered a very important Chinese herb even  in the medicinal herbal decoction we do add Ginger to our herbal tic options Ginger is classified as  an exterior releasing herbs.

I have already briefly explained what it’s mean in this video here in the western medical term the closest term or description that I can use to describe that is to relieve common cold symptoms but it’s the common cold that without sore throat because this herb is warming.

I mean this is not exactly what it’s mean in exterior releasing but it’s close enough so because this is warming it’s great for winter or any time that you need the warmth in your body especially when you feel the cold in the middle.

I mean in the stomach area I have also make a video  on how to use ginger in everyday life and you can combine it in various different ingredients  enhance its function and flavor you can use it to warm yourself up to relieve minor common cold  symptoms such as mild cough you can also use it to release nauseous and vomiting or relieve  mild period pain that is caused by cold you can check out this video to learn more about it so.

I  think everyone should keep ginger in your pantry regardless of whether you believe Chinese medicine  or not because basically it’s a food and it’s a spice that you can use in many dishes or tea so the fourth Chinese herbs that you should keep in your pantry is Chrysanthemum flower the Chinese  name is Junhua Cantonese is so the thermal property of this is cool or cooling it’s also classified  as an exterior releasing herbs many use it to clear heat because of one of the traditional  Chinese medicine function it’s able to clear heat it have to really painful swollen and red eyes it  also can calm the Chinese medicine liver and it has a gentle relaxation so relaxing function for  us it’s often brewed at Chinese herbal tea for the birth signs and symptom I just mentioned.

I  previously said that it can combine well with the goji berry to support our Eye Health when  you are very tired with your eyes dry eyes red eyes or swollen eyes in contrast to Ginger the  chihua or chrysanthemum flour can help to relieve common cold symptoms that start with a sore throat  or heat sign such as filling warm at the start of the common cold or constipation or yellowish mucus  but do note that if the yellowish mucus need to be checked by the doctor first or pharmacist to  see where there is a bacterial infection otherwise you can use the Chrysanthemum flower to help you  clear the heat signs in the early stage of the common cold that start with the sore throat the  other way to use a Chrysanthemum flower is you can pair with other herbs such as some of the  flour that.

I suggested here in this video to help you to relax and to calm your mind the fifth ingredient that you should keep in your pantry is the Shania sometimes we call  in Cantonese is paisan the one that I keep here is the slightly different cut this is just the  cut and dry it doesn’t press it a lot of them that you see or you can buy from your herbal  shop that is like nice long flat white sand those are the slightly different way of processing they  cut it and then they press flat this one is just cut without pressing which.

I start using they’re  quite good so less processing is good and you can also easily find the fresh one this day  in your Market Chinese yam thermal property is neutral it’s classified as a chi tonic it can 25  the Chinese medicine spleen lung and Kidney Chi it’s often used for General well-being it can  also help to relieve fatigue stool due to weak digestion lack of appetite or mild sore back we  often use it in Chinese herbal soup the flavor is actually very gentle it doesn’t overpower.

The flavor of other ingredients in the soup so it can easily combine with a lot of other herb  it’s called Chinese yen because it’s actually a food ingredient in China if you can find a fresh  version you can shred it slice it and stir fry it with other vegetables or you can simply put  in your soup like adding potatoes in your soup because these also have a starchy property so  we’ll kind of gently thicken your soup it is quite nice to have it in your soup in one of  my video here is one of the four herbs for the four Minister soup to use for General well-being  or to boost our energy and our immunity okay that’s all for this video so don’t forget to  subscribe and click the notifications Bell so when I release the second video you will  be notified immediately.

If you find this video helpful and valuable to you don’t forget to give it a thumbs up and please share with your friends and family if they are also interested in learning Chinese herbs or using Chinese herbs at home so I will see you in the next video, then bye.

The post 10 Essential Chinese Herbs in my Pantry (Part 1) | A Chinese Medicine Practitioner’s Guide appeared first on Video marketing is a GREAT way to make money ….

Hey everybody, it’s Doctor Jo. Today we’re going to talk about some back strengthening exercises. So, we talked a little about stretching exercises, so once you get them stretched out and you work on it a little bit, the Swiss Ball here, that’s what this big bouncy ball is, is great for working out your core, your trunk stability muscles.

All those muscles around here help out your back. So you want to keep them nice and strong, nice and straight.

As you’re working, you want to hold those ab muscles in the whole time. You want to keep them nice and tight, but you want to be able to talk. Mine are contracted right now, but I’m talking to you. And that’s what I want you to be able to do. So the big thing with the Swiss Ball, is it gives you a surface that’s an unstable surface.

So, if you’re not squeezing those ab muscles tight, you’re going to kind of be rolling around everywhere. So even just sitting on a Swiss Ball, if you’re reading a book, watching TV, at your computer, this is going to help strengthen those muscles. The first exercise I’m gonna have you do is called a pelvic tilt. Now we talked about the pelvic tilts a little bit for stretching when you were lying down. Now this one’s actually going to be some strengthening.

The key when you’re on the Swiss Ball is you want your back to stay nice and straight.

You don’t want your upper body swinging around. You want those muscles to stay tight to keep you from falling off the ball. So I usually have everybody just kind of have you feet about shoulder width apart so that gives you some good balance. Now the first time you get on a Swiss Ball, you might roll right off, so be very careful if you’re starting for the first time.

Get a friend to hold on to it for you. If you don’t have anybody with you, lean it up against the wall so you have something holding on to it. You can even start off holding on to it yourself and that will give you a little more stability. So you can start doing your exercises like this, and once you feel like you’ve got the balance a little bit, then you can let go, put them in your lap and that will be a little bit harder for you. When you get a Swiss Ball, you want it to be high enough where your knee angle is about a 90-degree angle.

This one might be a little bit low for me, but that’s just because it needs a little more air.

But really close to 90 is what you want. So, the first thing we’re going to do, we’re going to do those pelvic tilts. So, what I want you to do is I don’t want you rolling back and forth like this, remember we want our upper body to stay nice and straight, and you’re just rolling at your pelvis. So, it’s a little provocative, but this is really getting those lower muscles working, moving, getting them a little stronger.

Remember, you wanna keep those ab muscles nice and tight while you’re doing it. Now, when you’re on the Swiss Ball, you don’t wanna go all out because you’ll be sore later. So start off with just about 10 in each direction. Where you’re really trying to go to the back, go to the front. Nice and controlled.

The ball’s not rolling around. You’re not rolling around. Your upper body staying nice and straight. The next one you’re gonna do, is then a side to side tilt. We call this a lateral tilt.
Same kind of thing, you want to keep your upper body straight, but you’re just tipping your hips up and down. Just back and forth, get about 10 times. Then what you can do, we call hula hoop or some circles. You’re just rotating that around. Now remember, you don’t winna be doing this.

You want that upper body to be straight, but you want those hips to be moving. Rolling them around. Then go back the other way. Rolling them around. Alright, good.

Now that those are nice and loose, you can start adding some combination moves to get those muscles really working.

So, the first thing I’m going to have you do, remember you can hold on if you need to cause this is going to be really hard the first time you do it. What you’re going to do is your goanna just take your foot and lift it about that much off the ground. You don’t have to lift it high, but you’re just going to lift it off the ground. And then your goanna slowly come back down.

Now remember the key is control, so you’re not doing this, cause then that’s not working those muscles. You’re going to bring it up, a little pause, slowly bring it down. And then alternate feet. At the same time, you’re keeping those abs nice and tight. Try not to move the ball around a lot.

It’s going to move a little bit, but you want to stay stable. You don’t winna end up falling off. Good. So, you’re just going to do that about 10 times the first time you do it. If you’re not super sore afterwards, then you can the repetitions until you’re sore and then do 2 more after that.

The next step is now what you’re going to do is you’re going to kick your leg out.

So, you’re just kicking straight out. Come back in. Remember you’re trying to keep everything nice and still. Alternating legs back and forth.

Kicking out. Good. Going back in. Alright. SO now if you winna bump it up a little bit, if you’re feeling pretty good, feeling pretty confident.

What you’re going to do now is you’re going to get your arms involved a little bit. So, what I’m going to do is I’m going to go back to lifting a leg, but this time I’m going to lift my upper arm up. And alternate back and forth. Keeping everything nice and tight. Keeping those abs tight.

Trying not to slide the ball around too much. Not falling off the ball, getting hurt.

About 10 times with that. If you’re feeling really confident and you’re like “Oh that was really easy” try doing it on the same side. So now you’re going to lift both of them on your left side, both of them on your right side.

Same thing, remember you don’t want to be wobbling around, if you’re wobbling around, that’s what’s going to get your hurt. That’s what’s going to make you sore. So keep those abs tight. Lifting back and forth. Good.

I’m going to show you one more progression. There’s a lot of progressions, but I just want you to start out with some simple stuff, see how it feels. Then you can check out our progression videos for some harder exercises. The next one, if you felt like those were pretty simple, what you can do then, you can lie down on your back and now lift your legs.

Now see, the ball’s moving a lot more.

So, you really need to hold those abs tight. Nice and slow. If you feel like you’re having to bring your leg down too quickly, then you’re not quite ready for the exercise yet. Just going up. Going up. Good. And then rolling back up. Alright, so there you have it. Those were your Swiss Ball exercises for back strengthening and core strengthening. Now remember these are really high-level exercises, you’re going to probably feel it, so build yourself up.

Don’t go all out at one time. If you like these exercises, please click the like button, leave us a comment. And if you’d like to see more educational videos or exercise videos, please check out my website at AskDoctorJo.com. And remember, be safe, have fun, and I hope you feel better soon.

The post USB Flash Drive No Media? How to Fix USB Drive No Media Probem – 6 Solutions appeared first on Video marketing is a GREAT way to make money ….

This video is sponsored by squarespace, the simplest way to make a professional looking website. When using a computer for any kind of serious work, being able to hook up a secondary monitor can have some major advantages for multitasking and overall productivity – it’s one of those things that you can’t do without once you start using it. While this isn’t a problem for desktops, as another monitor can just be added, laptop users generally have to just stick with just the single main screen, which can sometimes be frustrating depending on what you are doing. So in this video, we will be building a DIY secondary monitor for laptops, using recycled parts to keep the cost low – perfect for anybody on a budget.

It’s very thin and light, which makes it easy to take around with you, and it’s also remarkably sturdy – this thing really doesn’t feel like something that’s been built at home but instead feels like a piece of solid industrial tech, and it really looks the part as well.

If you do make one of these, you will certainly look like you mean business. To make it, the first thing we will need is a screen from an old laptop. You can of course buy these separately as a spare part, but as this is a budget build it makes sense to recycle one, particularly if the laptop you’re removing it from is dead. To get it out is just a case of removing the screen bezel, and then unscrewing the panel itself. Mine is pretty decent, as it’s not only full 1080p HD, but also IPS, making for exceptional viewing angles and colours.

Once you’ve got the panel, you need to look at the back for the model number, and punch this into eBay with the phrase ‘control board’ after it. This brings up a variety of results, so sort it by price plus shipping lowest first to ensure you get the best deal. Now, I want mine to have an HDMI input, so adding HDMI to the search results will narrow the search down even more, giving the perfect board at the lowest price.

By the way, if you want to support this channel, purchasing a board through the affiliate link in the description will send me a few pence at no cost to yourself, so many thanks if you do that. This control board is the backbone of the entire build, as it has all of the inputs you could want for your particular LCD screen, allowing it to be used with pretty much any device.

We can now start working on the casing – this is very important as not only are the cables very delicate, but the screens are so thin that they are flexible and need reinforcing. To do this, we can get some thin board – 6mm MDF in my case – and cut it down to match the size of the monitor.

As you can see, I’ve cut mine slightly taller to allow room for the connector at the bottom. A little gap can now be made for this so that it can later be routed through to the back. Now we can drill some mounting holes for the control board.

Keep in mind however that these holes need to be countersunk on the front side so that the screw heads won’t be in the way of the screen fitting flush later. Now this being a DIY Perks project we want it to look cool aftewards, so what we’ll be using to give it an industrial look is some vinyl wrap. This stuff mimics carbon fibre, so its texture changes depending on the angle you look at it from.

It’s very cool stuff, and you can find links to it in the description. This can now be stuck to the board, using a hairdryer to soften the adhesive for a more secure fit.

As this wrap covers the mounting holes, we can use a sharp point to punch through it and then insert the screws from the other side. These can now be tightened on to some short PCB standoff pillars. The control board should now fit nicely on top of these, and to secure it in place we’ll need some more of them, this time much longer with both ends being female. As you can see, the tops of these standoffs sit above the components on the board itself. The button board too can be mounted, only this time secured in place with some nuts.

We can now make a little cover for the main PCB using a very thin piece of board, again wrapping it in vinyl, which can then be screwed on top to protect the circuitry. The wire too can be protected by using some cable sheathing, which also adds to the industrial look. Now, as this cable runs through to the front, we can use some more thin board to build up a surround around it, so that later we can encase it entirely underneath a piece of thin aluminium.

With that done we can now mix some fast drying epoxy and use it to stick the vinyl wrap down along the edges. While the wrap’s adhesive is decent enough, adding this epoxy will ensure that it will never peel away.

Once it’s dried, the excess can be trimmed off with a knife. Now it’s time to stick down the screen itself with some more dabs of epoxy on the edges – it’s a good idea to add some underneath the cable too as this will ensure that it can never become loose. Once this has all dried, we can add some masking tape along the edges of the screen – this is because we’re going to again use some epoxy to stick down some thin strips of vinyl along the edges and down the sides, and the masking tape ensures that no epoxy will stray onto the screen itself.

Looking good. Now we can stick down that thin piece of aluminium I mentioned earlier.

As you can see, it has first been wrapped in vinyl before being added. The excess wrap can again be folded over the bottom edge and again stuck down with epoxy, finishing it off by again trimming it down with a knife. The wire too can be glued in place on the back. With that the screen is almost complete, but as you can see it still needs some kind of support so that it can remain upright on its own. To do this we can recycle the hinges from the laptop the monitor came from – these are quite stiff so are ideal for our needs.

To mount them, we can simply drill some holes through from the front, and then screw them in place. The monitor is complete! Now it can be plugged into the laptop. As the screen also needs 12v for power, we need to hook it up to a power adapter as well, although there is a way you can power it from the laptop itself which I’ll get to in just a minute. As the workspace is now expanded over two screens it makes it much easier to get some serious work done – situations where I find a screen like this useful are when I’m editing videos, working on graphics, or building websites… which leads me nicely on to the sponsor of this video: Squarespace. Using their many templates you can quickly build a website that looks professional, all from a browser, with no extra software required. For those who want to customise things more deeply they have plenty of under the hood settings so you can fit it to your own personal needs.

I am in fact building a DIY Perks website with it and it’s actually starting to look really nice.

So, if you’d like a free trial for yourself, visit Squarespace.com/perks or sign up using the link in the description. Also, using the offer code ‘PERKS’ at checkout will give you a 10% discount if you do decide to go with them. Now, to power the screen from the laptop itself we’ll need a little extender for the laptop’s power supply, and a voltage step down board.

The extender first needs to be chopped in half to expose the internal wires, after which we can get the input side and solder it to the input of the voltage regulator, with red being positive and black being negative.

Now we need a wire with a connector on the end that fits into the screen, which we can again solder to the regulator – only this time to its output. With that done they can be glued together to keep it all secure. If we plug in the laptop’s adapter and monitor the voltage of this output with a multimeter, we can adjust it so that it outputs 12v by turning its built in variable resistor. Once that’s done the other connector can be soldered to the input side of this board, which hooks it directly up to the first connector we added.

As my wire was a little on the short side, I extended it before wrapping the whole thing in some heatshrink, which can then be held over a source of heat to shrink it. Now it can be plugged in between the laptop and its adapter, allowing the DIY screen to be powered at the same time. Now although I did build this screen specifically for its portability for use with my laptop, I’ve actually found it to be very useful as a secondary screen on my main desktop too, as it is quite small, yet is still full HD, making for a high DPI not usually seen on desktop screens. So I hope you’ve found this project interesting, and if you do make one of these then why not send me a picture @DIYPerks, especially if you use a different colour for the vinyl wrap, as I’d really like to see how that looks.

Now if you did enjoy this video then you might enjoy this one too, where we convert some shattered, dead, destroyed laptop screens into a fake window, which actually ended up looking pretty cool.

Other than that, don’t forget to give a like on this video if you did enjoy it, and also consider subscribing if you haven’t already. I’m Matt and thank you very much for watching.
