For some time now I've been tempted to start eating eggs on a toast for breakfast daily so I'm curious: has this impacted your bad cholesterol?

I never had it measured and since I've been doing it since I was about 14 I'm not sure I could judge cause and effect.

Money got so short that I started looking for cheap but "healthy" food options. I decided on organic potatoes. For the last 2 years I have been boiling 5 potatoes for lunch (exactly 32 mins on the stove), serving it with white balsamic vinegar, sunflower oil and salt.…

wow. what's your job and current household income?

I lived on the streets for a time as a teen. When I got off and had my first real place to live, I couldn't afford much. I had potatoes, butter (was like heaven) soy sauce and mustard. So that was my dinner for months. My co-workers thought I was crazy when I microwaved a potato and put soy sauce and mustard on it. I simply didn't have anything else. Later I got pickles and cheese (the greatest thing I had ever had u…

'Zerocarb' here. I don't insist on eating the exact same thing, but what I eat is quite limited - meat, animal fat, salt and water. I started this because of health issues, but I grew to like the simplicity of it as well. I can eat one large meal and not feel hungry or exhausted the whole day, and I can easily find adequate food without being fussy in most environments. For example, McDonalds burger patties are 100%…

> I can eat one large meal How much meat do you roughly eat in one sitting? Are you eating enough to maintain (or increase) your body weight?

About a kilo. But varies depending on how much tallow or butter I add.

I hope you get some fiber with that...

Body adapts quickly to it. I have regular bowel movements, it comes out with no effort, and it actually barely has any smell on top of that.

That is insanely bad diet. Hilarious. How are your numbers? Btw, meat causes cancer[0]. 0. https://www.who.int/features/qa/cancer-red-meat/en/

Lol, I checked your posting history and you're a vegan glorifying tofu as protein source.

It is pretty obvious that your smear attempts on keto and zerocarb are ideologically motivated.

Are you able to successfully maintain your body weight in ZC OMAD?

Sounds like some of my own work, I hypothesized that the body doesn’t need food itself, merely the chemicals and elements it contains. So, what if I consumed only the raw ingredients the body uses for energy? Soylent was the obvious choice because our bodies do not need food.

Is this satire?

yes

Ketoand "zerocarb" smear themselves. How isn't tofu a valid protein source?
