[quote] Im also getting around 180 grams of protein on a practice day but i get all of it from dairy or animal products mostly except for like pasta which has some protein ig but i dont eat veggies [quote/] Well, your basically at a decent weight for your height and suspect you want to maintain your speed or increase it,…

I use to drink diet pepsi as my sweet alternative but I kept seeing research that seemed to say that even the sweet taste can drive cravings, which is predicated on the fact it does activated dopamine a neurotransmitter in the brain. Anyway I've stopped all diet drinks and the cravings have diminished to pretty much 0.

Yeah, OMAD doesn't work for me, maybe it's an age thing. I just can't eat enough food at one go to maintain weight and find myself hungry, so that just doesn't work. My diet relies not on calories, but satiety. So basically, eating until I'm full and to maintain my metabolism I have to eat twice a day, pretty basic really.

Yeah, sugar is a tough one for a lot of people. On a scale from 1 to 10, sugar is a 9 for me, I basically have to stay away from it, so I found a very low carb diet work best, the cravings are gone most of the time.

I follow over a dozen doctors along with quite a few clinical nutritional scientists and I'm not a big fan of Dr.Berg now although he did show up on my algorithm quite early on and did get to know his style and I do have to say that most of his information is on par with many other "doctors" but like a lot of doctors who…

Yeah, it's interesting that arthritic pain throughout the body seems to be one of the first concerns that improves according to the data which has to do with the reduction in chronic inflammation and losing weight improves inflammatory blood markers and lowers them, pretty basic to biochemistry. Basically chronic…

People are easily confused regarding BMR and TDEE and when diet culture and misinformation that tend to suggest consuming lower calories for weight loss as normal along with and the inherent problems that come up with actual recording proper caloric information it creates a lot of confusion. You might actually be totally…

It takes a lot of dedication to come to that realization. Maybe use that discipline and go for a walk, it's a beginning. :#

Actually I think you probably do have a decent argument that both collagen which has a hygroscopic nature to it helping to keep tissues hydrated and maintains elasticity and firmness as well as glucosamine which is vital for building that cartilage and collagen being vital in the hydration of that cartilage and I don't…

Ok , lets say that it did cause some water retention, now what? I'm pretty sure over the course of the next 8 to 12 weeks we can find something else to focus on, that's all I'm saying. My weight shifts 3 or 4 lbs a day, when I use to actually use a scale regularly.

Shift your focus to more long term results, then make minor changes.

Elevated blood sugar levels can be reduced many different ways. As far as diet is concerned consuming a diet that focuses on protein and plenty of vegetables and minimizing starchy carbs/grains and sugar will lower the amount of sugars that are available to enable increases in blood glucose levels which is what facilitates…

I don't see a problem with sugar in a coffee every morning if your keeping it to a minimal everywhere else and the type of milk you use isn't going to matter or using cane sugar over regular. Also if some of your family members have diabetes it's still going to actually matter what your A1C is so maybe get a blood panel,…

Only between meals and that's why snacks were invented. :#

Seems to be the consensus of everyone trying it. I'm not carnivore but I've been keto for a dozen years and I have no desire to change that. Are you still on the lion diet?

The basic reason why authorities like the USDA and the WHO said and still do believe saturated fat causes heart disease is based on observational studies (epidemedoodly) where the people that ate the most saturated fat were in the percentile that were also the most unhealthy. Actual biochemistry tells a completely…

Currently in the mix: Vit. D3 K2 Creatine Ginseng Magnesium B12 Cordyceps Rhodiola Basically for energy, immune system, sleep quality, brain health and mood regulation, which seems to work very well for me.

By request I made mushrooms on toast, spread with labneh with a deep fried poached egg.

Here's around 1300 recipes. https://dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes

First of all LDL and HDL aren't actually cholesterol they're containers that carry cholesterol, triglycerides, fat soluble vitamins and other metabolites and those containers are called "lipoproteins" and deliver said cargo to all cells throughout the body that have receptors for those individual metabolites. There is only…

Dr. McDougall is well known for his starch solution diet, he's a vegan and has promoted this diet for a long time. He died last year at 77. Personally I don't advocate for a vegan or vegetarian diet but if your beliefs run in that direction I suggest if your not aware of the shortfalls nutritionally, that you educate…

I draw conclusion by what is said regardless of who is saying it.

It takes years to understand nutrition and scientists will spend a lifetime just trying to understand one mechanism. What your experiencing is information overload and with your limited knowledge about nutrition in general your drawing conclusion that support your ideology, basically it's confirmation bias on steroids, how…

Actually what the body wants to do is bring it back down to base line which also prevent hyperglycemia which is what happens when that process doesn't happen efficiently. Biochemically we don't want chronically elevated blood sugar which leads to all sorts of heath issues, this is really nutritional science 101. Maybe I'm…

Nope, that's not the way it works. Glycogen stores will never be full when someone is on a keto diet and if they were then the metabolic machinery would switch that person to carbs (sugar burner) and they would be using those for fuel. They will manufacture some through a process called gluconeogenesis but that's to supply…

Some pan fried salmon, about 8 oz with some lemon butter, and 4 poached eggs.

Eating healthy is a new concept, where in the 60's and 70's, it really didn't exist very much for the vast majority of people because the food supply was mostly considered "healthy" by todays standards with about 15% of the population considered overweight or obese and now it's pushing 75%. Who knows maybe you can emulate…

@PAV888. What you say makes sense and it's an integral part of the skepticism and we can throw keto into that mix as well. Why would someone decide to do something this drastic and remove all the foods that aren't animal based. The vast majority, almost all the people actually that eventually decided to try carnivore, it…
