I'm not sure why you are directing this at me. Yeah, I did quote you. I'm don't mean to direct that particularly at you. Sorry. I was just highlighting the general human habit we all have. Please forgive me for making that look like it's an issue with you. It is not. I don't think Taubes was only willing to accept one…

I always love how everyone is able to really dissect a person, their motives, and the challenges they faced from a few articles someone else has written. There's so many layers of bias that it scares me to think that people feel sufficient to make claims they are putting their name on. In the end, it's also the biases you…

Triglycerides are influenced extensively by dietary carbohydrates. LDL and total Cholesterol is frequently impacted by saturated fat intake. However, HDL to Trig. ratio is a better marker, and that's impacted by increased saturated fat in the diet and exercises (both raise HDL). Research shows LDL is a pretty useless…

The fact is that the principle of CICO for weight loss is effective in practice. Recording what you eat and keeping a calorie deficit, which is, at the fundamental level, what causes weight loss, is highly effective process for someone with that goal. But, it's also way too simplistic. Though it is a "simple scientific…

There's strong evidence that doing resistance training or exercise in general in the fasted state is better for tweaking your metabolism for improved fat burning as well as increasing insulin sensitivity. Certainly, there's a preference. But, there are many diet and exercise myths that have grown a reputation all their…

As important as exercise is, more of our health is determined by what we eat. And, walking is a great exercise. Once the weight starts to come off you might start to feel…

I like to do greek yogurt (Fage) in equal portions, some peanut butter, a touch of Stevia, then fresh fruit on top to save me some carbs/calories from canned stuff. Fresh strawberries and blackberries are my favorite together...then a touch of whip cream. If I am looking for a few more calories, I add in some nut mix.…

It's important to do a diet that works for you. Keto doesn't work for everyone, but like almost all diets, it has latitude that you can use or not. You should still try for a nutritious approach no matter what diet you are on. I have a lot of experience here and, though it may not work for everyone, ketogenic diets are…

If you don't do a solid warm up, that might help. You'll want to build intensity over 10 mins with increased paced walking, then move to a jog for a few mins. Once you've used full range of motion movements (high knees and lunges), you can throw in a few relatively hard, 30 second efforts, followed by 2 mins recovery, to…

Sugars, "natural" or otherwise, should kept to a limited amount. Sugar is sugar. The exception is fruit because there's not a lot of fructose (fruit sugar) in any normal fruit. It becomes more challenging when you create concentrated fruit (as in smoothies or these bars). If you are metabolically healthy and use your…
