Ohhhh. Okay. I was off then, sorry!

Noooo...not Satan's Diarrhea Hate Bears!

Order a short black instead- less one shot of espresso you may not need to tone it down. Still not that same as regular black coffee though.

Like...hot dogs?

10x worse than cocaine? How did you study that? What are the withdrawals like? You should see a doctor immediately.

LMAO! I've lost a sperm whale's brain and an average newborn. (And I'm not even a mom!)

Ruling on the field stands. 10 yard penalty.

HAHAHAHAHA. I love this.

I'm pretty sure this is what we call an Americano (US) which is two shots of espresso over hot water. Low cal, high caffeine.

Lattes are higher in calories and fat because of the milk, yes. Sugar can go up too, depending on if it's flavored. I personally drink them once and while when I'm really feeling like one, but I likely have a lower calorie allowance than you do. Alternatives? --Skinny latte (most coffee shops will make it with skim milk if…

As if high school isn't bad enough... WOW. I have nightmares about stuff like this.

Squishy. It would have been squishy. :grimace:

How old are you that your mom has to tell you to take a laxative if you're not moving your bowels regularly?

Thanks!!

Wow. This stuff sounds like my worst nightmare.

Spit coffee everywhere. Thanks.

Let's play "how many times can @Hornsby 's abs come up in the forums in one week?"

Glad we've cleared that up. Whew

Common knowledge.

I feel like the implication in this case is that knowledge requires adherence, and I wholeheartedly disagree.

This breaks my heart for you. I am so sorry you had to go through that.

You may not have named the book, but you recommended it to an individual looking to help their loved one. Going into his place of residence and changing his diet, in any way, without the care of a physician is terrible advice especially when the book you are recommending is an endeavor by an uneducated caregiver. Did she…

While you're now posing that "curing" Alzheimers was never mentioned, I will bring up that you replied to a thread asking for help with a loved one with a book that uses the word "cure" in it's title and has no science yet to back it up. That makes me sad because she may run off and insist on a ketogenic diet for her…

Here's a few on ketones too. They're not ignoring it. It's advantages just haven't been shown yet to be clinically significant. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25832906/?i=1&from=alzheimers%20ketogenic%20diet http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23415649/?i=3&from=/25101284/related…

They're studying plenty of non pharmacological factors and treatments for AD. Just because the ketogenic diet hasn't made that list does not mean pharmacological intervention is all they are studying. In fact, with as knowledgeable as the scientists studying this are, it's likely they'd be investing more time in it if it…

Because the medications they have found through research that actually inhibit the disease haven't been worth the money? I think the experts in research design and neurodegenerative diseases should be making the call about what they research.

If it worked, I'd put all my patients on it.

Eat them in smaller portions that fit your calorie goal.

I stayed out of this thread until now, but I can't keep quiet on this one. That book is anecdotal, non evidenced based and completely subjective. The author is a neonatologist who gave her husband coconut oil and claimed she saw improvement. I see improvement from time to time in Alzheimer's patients as well - who sundown…
