Just FYI, these ADA numbers are just guidelines. Something so variable as diet and activity level for a person are not going to fit in quite so well. FYI, canagliflozin (INVOKANA) blocks renal Reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, blocking the normal compensatory mechanisms of glomerular filtration. Quite a revolutionary…

It's a nice twist and break from shoulder press. Know of anything as effective or fundamental as side lateral raises? BB.com had this interesting article by Kris Gethin on using plates only on shoulder exercises; looks interesting as well

Are you forgoing butter and other fats or emulsifiers? Added lard/tallow allowed, or only those naturally occurring/composed in your meat of choice?

Yeah, I'm totally making up that reoccurring 2-3 hour thing...references cited. I guess there is no bending or recumbancy in exercise according to some "expert" opinion

Yep, mTOR inhibiting drugs exist, diet manipulation not so

I would have loved to see some "bacon science" blood work wise before and after like that Morgan Spurlock....only without the BS cheating for entertainment. Don't let PETA find out about AAA...you guys are just silly

K+ with food, GI irritation...extra irritating if combined with anticholinergics. KCl is notorious for clogging feeding tubes if that better helps impart a visual cue

Anatomy and physiology 101...go read a textbook. Unless you can somehow exercise without using your core I'm sure it's somewhere in ACG guidelines; better than going by random google searches for pubmed studies

Interesting point though, there are drugs in the SIRT pathway inhibiting Peroxisome Proliferator Activator Receptor (PPAR) including fenofibric acids and thiazolidenediones that do help transport visceral adipose to subcutaneous adipose (far less detrimental). Not surprisingly, all of these meds are effective for lowering…

Empty stomach/2-3 hours after eating is optimal...eating right before exercising exacerbates GI reflux (GERD).

Yes, the entire carbohydrate portion in the LCHF diet came from sucrose

Hmmm....lab rat results being assumed to be true for humans; evidence level D at best. Anyone actually read the methodology? The LCHF group was given almost 2X as many Kcals (nrg in joules) as the "chow" group; how the hell is that a valid comparison to the "chow" control group? 55% saturated fat from overall fat in the…

Wab, your pie charts on "build" seems to be that elusive spot that is so hard to reach; that slight caloric deficit that leads to improved body composition without that dreaded gym bro stigma of being catabolic/"you're doing too much cardio, your muscles will waste away...". Just below overendulging on fat

That was my thoughts also. Very strange. [/quote] A lot of doctors will recommend it before going to statin therapy...it's basically a low dose statin and many of them also have added plant sterols and stanols which also help. I've found it to be very beneficial without the loads of side effects of statin therapy. As with…

Avocados & olives are the official keto fruits

Sunlight

Re-enacted Schrodinger's cat experiment by playing the role of the cat

I would so it's worth it so far (only using for about 1 month) just because they save so much time on tracking, logging, etc. The graph charts & trend lines overtime are quite helpful in determining what aspects of health require improvement (cardiovascular health, overall exercise/fitness, sleep, etc.). As far as Kcals…

Go to the gym...see yah

Got into an argument involving coffee

People who follow raw food only diets are indeed candidates for the Darwin awards. It's like going against evolution. I just love how raw foodists try to convince people that humans are natural herbivores...that for some odd reason have teeth suited for being omnivores. Moderation

Yeah, similar findings with mine. Use Liberal English to your advantage...technically olives have pits & are considered fruit, making EVOO concentrated fruit. Same deal with Avocados. I can't get an exemption because of stupid guideline based LDL-C goals (not based on ratios). My HDL-C was > than LDL-C last year, but Total…

Repaglinide wasn't titrated up properly as Metformin was; invalid comparison. Just like the under dosing of Enalapril vs. Sacubitril + Valsartan (ENTRESTO) for Heart failure; easy to make 1 treatment arm superior to the other when you fail to properly dose the "non-superior" treatment arm

I've been doing IF 5+ years now (before being fad, mainstream). Benefits I've noticed: improved body composition likely from being in a fat loss state for prolonged periods of time & improved insulin sensitivity from having regular/consistent fed states. IF Disadvantages: GERD & GI upset from cramming in so much food in a…

Towards bedtime with the largest meal of the day; divided doses if > 1,000mg/day, Metformin ER <<< GI upset/flattice/GERD/Dyspepsia/diarrhea vs. Metformin IR. Taken consistently to gain tolerance; typically titrated up 1,000mg/day increased 500mg/day every week until MAX effective dose of 2,000mg/day (MAX labeled dose =…

Use to do 75-100 rep sets (2-3 sets) with low weight on a seated calf raise...walking becomes challenging from DOMS

Good news in being less dependent on meds; however, going off of 1 or a few BG readings can be misleading as it is a transient/short term picture. Confirm your success with an HbA1C and discuss with your physician in letting him/her know how you've done without meds

Barbell hack squats, single leg squats, front squats. Rarely...sissy squats, pistol squats, zercher squats (hate these) Gironda leg extensions were a regular quad exercise for me...mostly just involves sitting unconventionally in a leg extension machine to put more tension on the quads (back and gluteus not touching the…
