What NA calls "soy" is mostly industrial products, like soy oil, soy protein isolates, soy flour, soy lecithin, textured veg protein (TVP) and the fillers in processed and ultra processed foods and these product do not exist in traditional Chinese cuisine. Traditional Chinese cuisine uses soy as a whole food in small and…

I don't classify 1g of protein per lb of lean mass to be considered a high protein diet, which appears some have alluded to. Most societies past and present consume more than what the USDA and other institutions recommend and that is where the idea that people are consuming a higher protein diet basically comes from. Also…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48926483#Comment_48926483 Well it's the old story of understanding the difference between Physics and Biology/Physiology and the disconnection that seems to always follow. It's like two completely different operating systems inside the same conversation and the…

Anyway, either foods from oceans, lakes and rivers and soy products will give the best bang for the buck as far as protein to calorie ratios all of which are either void of carbs or very limited.

An example would be an 8 oz portion ground beef of either 30% fat compared to 20% fat. 30% fat has more fat mass, so the remaining lean portion is smaller compared to the 20% which has…

Sounds legit. 😀

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48924655#Comment_48924655 I like your enthusiasm, and your experiencing what most feel when they removes carbs and your obviously doing a little research to try and understand it, I get it, but I just want to bring a few points to your attention. First one is, the…

Yeah maybe find someone like a dietitian that specializes in your condition that will actually try and help with the problem (root cause) as opposed to medicating the symptom with metformin.

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48913953#Comment_48913953 Yeah, fasting began gaining attention in biomedical research in the early 2000s and it's effects on cancer metabolism.

I did 4 3 day fasts this year, the first one was somewhat difficult but the last one was a breeze. It has a lode of benefits for the metabolism. The, your going to lose muscle misinformation is one of the more popular ones. Research if anyone is interested is a click away and it doesn't even rely on critical thinking. 😊

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10955343/keto I've been on a mostly ketogenic diet for over a decade which basically reversed or severely reduced the health problems I was encountering which included insulin Resistance, high blood pressure, IBS type symptoms, mostly constipation and bloating, and a few…

Yeah I have, and the less time your insulin is elevated during a 24 hour timeline an increase in insulin sensitivity takes place. When insulin is elevated for long periods (from frequent eating, snacking, or high‑carb intake), cells become less responsive to it. This is the core of insulin resistance, so the opposite help…

Genovese pasta.

Nice start. All of that is on my list of foods I eat consistently. Keeping food real (whole) is always a good basis for any diet. Keep in mind that iron's effectiveness is lessened by consuming phytates (whole grains, legumes, seeds) because they bind with iron. Also polyphenols like coffee and tea and calcium, basically…

Your Dr as you say "puts it down to hereditary" How did they determine that and what did they say to do? In other words did they test you for familial hypercholesterolemia which can only be attributed to have been born with it or did they just pull a rabbit out of their hat and figure it must be, curious.

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48809963#Comment_48809963 I'm not picking on you specifically J72FIT but this is a classic strawman argument where someone introduces an exaggerated claim that no one made, then dismisses it to make their own position seem more reasonable. It’s not a miracle, but…

Most omega 6's are in processed and ultra processed foods and seed oil. Remove these and reducing them greatly replacing them with grass fed and organic meats will generally lead to better overall health and reduced inflammation, and joint pain reduction is quite common when engaged in this particular dietary change. While…

Remove them.

And the status quo remains intact. IF introduces nonlinear dynamics, like hormonal shifts, circadian rhythm, autophagy that facilitates change within the body and that threatens the simplicity of people that "count calories" Does weight lose occur only in a calorie deficit, yes, which describes quite well the forest and…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48798531#Comment_48798531 For calorie counters it's always about calories. The problem is the more a person educates themselves about human nutrition the less important calories become. If a person was to actually investigate IF they would soon learn it has nothing…

Is it not a lifetime agenda? If a person stops recording their caloric intake even at maintenance do they not gain weight and if they didn't gain weight then why would someone do it. Feeling like your depriving yourself or feeling like it takes up too much time in your day and always feeling it's a chore is not something I…

Intermittent fasting has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss, although weight loss does occurs quite frequently and if someone was to connect those dots, IF might actually be helpful as opposed to, oh, it doesn't work and it's just a fad and it's about calories. 😁

The USDA avoids committing to specific guidelines for monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats because the science is too nuanced, the messaging too complex, and making policy is difficult considering there's mono and poly fats in nuts and pastry. Both mono ands poly fats also contain the omega's and too much of one and…

There's a myriad of health benefits from fasting and here's a link that people might find interesting from "Health & Wellness Canada". https://www.healthcouncilcanada.ca/real-science-behind-fasting-what-research-actually-reveals/

Yeah, stage 3 CKD is a diagnostic blind spot buried under louder and other comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Apparently 90% of people with CKD didn't know they had it which leaves only 10% that are actually diagnosed and tested. Also roughly 1 in 2 patients with stage 4 CKD are unaware, and 1 in 3…

Prioritize foods that are whole and considered unprocessed with people focusing on protein tend to plan meals, read labels, and track intake, behaviors linked to better overall diet quality which generally equate to better overall health including less kidney dysfunction considering the worst possible scenario for…

Well, it's more nuanced that just do this and everything is better. More fiber can potentially increase diverticulitis and may not necessarily reduce polyps depending on the source material you put in your mouth. I would suggest getting another opinion or two.
