Unfortunately I'm with the other guy here. I think reducing excess sugar consumption is necessary but not sufficient to get lean for some obese individuals like myself. When I star…

I think starch only breaks into glucose, not fructose.

From tasting food?

Ha, ok. On the other hand I'd argue "evidence it's genetic" is also clearly false. There are certainly genetic factors that make some people vulnerable but our genetics haven't cha…

I'd argue "less activity than what's consumed" is not causal but an accounting of what's already happened. Just like "more money in your bank account" is a mere measurement, wherea…

Do you have an example? Besides banning big gulps and ineffectual ad campaigns I don't recall much policy on the topic.

> The three-day meeting was infused with an implicit understanding of what obesity is not: a personal failing. This weird push that "it's not a moral personal failing" is so strang…

I gave up on fasting for weight loss as well. It's just another form of caloric restriction and that just doesn't work for me. My body is just too efficient: it immediately turns d…

I stopped because I wasn't seeing any effects. Also makes it more difficult to eat enough in a day (I was doing OMAD for a while). That said my natural eating rhythm is not to eat …

Oh, I see. Hope you succeed. If this technology makes its way into the Apple watch or AirPod we'll reduce T2D by 100 million over night.

Very cool! I'm currently wearing a CGM. I already love these and find them super non-invasive (Freestyle Libre 3). It's a penny that sits on your arm and every 14 days you change i…

Yea for sure. I think another major benefit would be that it wouldn't just be available for T1Ds or curious/severe T2Ds or nerds like me. Getting an Rx and paying $200/mo is a huge…

Interesting. But yea, it seems our digestive systems can adapt to it pretty well, given that we've been doing this since long before doctors were around. I suppose the acid kills a…

Current CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitors) are amazingly non-invasive and easy to use. I'm wearing one right now and I can't feel it. I'm using the Freestyle Libre 3. It's the size…

The book The Fat of the Land by Vilhjalmur Stefansson ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilhjalmur_Stefansson ) describes how the Eskimos he lived with ate rotten fish all the time. …

Those studies have been debunked. Current state of science is that there is no indication that reduction of red meat consumption would bring any health benefits.

I think quite the opposite - a beef-only diet, very high in fat, is probably the evolutionary diet we're most adapted too. After all we only started cultivating grains about 10,000…

I think animal foods are very healthy and the CO2 emissions/environmental effects of cattle are usually overblown. One "study" I saw claimed cattle used 1000000x more water than gr…

2012, but still interesting. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, that means a lot :)

Wow, ok, 3-4h a day is a ton of course.
