I eat intuitively and what some would consider a species specific diet which is based mostly in consuming animal products. I don't think about what foods to eat generally speaking and I don't think in terms of calories either. There's many ways to solving a problem and this was mine. Whatever you decide I hope you find…

Limits fish? I didn't see that and that would be unusual considering it's one of the main reasons for consuming that diet. It is interesting though that a particular population of Ikaria, an Island of Greece known as the first "blue zone" population were the most researched and it was the mountain people and the men…

I'm glad you found a solution that improves your blood markers, fish, whole plant food and lower fat does accomplish a few key markers like lower triglycerides and higher HDL which is a ratio that is well established as a better indicator than overall cholesterol or LDL, good for you. Most negative blood work is connected…

It's mostly marketing and if your eating a decent amount of fruit and veg then your not missing out and the minutia and reductive thinking which this whole concept is based on is an over simplification and limited in predictability (someones individual needs and outcome). It's like the marketing for fiber, and now the more…

Yeah, constantly eating junk and highly processed food unfortunately drives hunger and is a vicious circle, you can continue to eat like this and just eat less, but the success rate is pretty dismal and the eventual hungry signaling seems to get to most people. Also admitting your a very picky eater in this context of…

It's not common enough that people embrace cooking using primarily whole natural ingredients and realize a paradigm shift in their food preferences, not common at all, so carry on doing that. You've beaten the system. Good for you, bravo!

Nothing like good ol American food. 😀

Yeah, picked up a Garmin Fenix 7X and I'm pretty happy, rugged which is what I needed.

Do you not eat any fruit and vegetables?

I eat a lot of vegetables around 500 to 1500g's a day for visual effect 😉 I am though, hopelessly focused on local, organic and in season with local hydroponic varietals acceptable. As far as mayo goes, I've been making it for at least 40 years for commercial applications in the restaurants I've worked in and owned and…

Unfortunately I would only deep fry a donut, so can't help you there. I will and do have or make donuts periodically once or twice a year for house guests or if my partner, who is a baker, asks me to make them for her which, she then generally takes them to share with other people. Don't think I've bought a commercial…

Some people thrive. If someone is eating a lot of carbs, especially the refined type, they would be the least likely to promote or engage in this type of diet. It literally makes most of those people go absolutely berserk, according to my own investigations into diet and health. Low carbers seem to find it easier, which…

What are you expecting it to do? Gummies, well who knows, that's brought to market for different reasons than an organic ACV that has a mother. Anyway there are actual benefits but like I said it depends what your expecting to get out of it.

Haha….no Clint isn't in it. Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, Jason Robarts, Claudia Cardinale and a lot of great B actors.

A classic. Once Upon a Time in the West is another classic by the godfather of spaghetti westerns Sergio Leone who also directed the trilogy The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, A Fist Full of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More.

I agree with you, it is complex. Yes people love food and some people and some food more than others and behavior, reward systems and habit loops have synergistic characteristics that can and do work in tandem where a reward response, (dopamine) can drive behavior and create a feed back loops, this could be described as…

I never said insulin causes weight gain and it doesn't, don't know where you got that idea from what I said.

The OP wanted to know if by eating all day, which can elevate insulin, is going to prevent weight loss. Insulin rises after meals, that’s normal. It doesn’t block fat loss unless you’re eating in a surplus. The issue isn’t how often you eat or whether insulin goes up temporarily, it’s whether you’re consistently over…

Yes "balanced" meals even when eaten frequently, and if a person is "metabolically healthy" and is also active doesn't automatically mean chronically elevated blood sugar, and I never said it did. Too add: About 15% of people in the US that have diabetes are not overweight and it's about 25% of the people in India that…

I suspect there's no point discussing anything where science is involved, if we can't see any value in something as simple as having chronically elevated blood sugar all day long and I'll just say that counting calories is pretty much the same as people taking GLP-1's for weight loss, they both address the symptoms and not…

Sure, you can eat all the refined carbs and sugary food you want that keep the pancreas busy all day long but if your in a caloric deficit you'll lose weight. Not the best strategy and will have quite a few negative consequences that will make it difficult to maintain that strategy.

Many ways. You can use google, google scholar or you tube and use "dopamine, circadian rhythm, chronobiology and lots should pop up. If your uncomfortable reading studies then there's plenty of doctors and clinicians on you tube that specialize in endocrinology, neuroscience, and circadian biology and the breath of the…

Protein is basically crucial for maintaining our physical structure and we want to maintain that regardless of the amount of calories we consume but carbs and fat are fuel and can be manipulate up and down. Which one is up to you. Keep in mind that fat is essential for life (the omega's) and carbohydrates are not.…

Check out dopamine's role in context to our circadian rhythm which falls under the science of chronobiology, it might interest you. 😊

Anyway, I've said this many times and I'll say it again fasting has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss, although some people do lose weight, so yes, some people do lose weight because of fasting. 😊

Pick a time to start that you feel might suit you better, many like diner to diner so say 6pm to 6 pm. Make sure your well hydrated with water, coffee or tea and picking a work day as opposed to a weekend, seems to make being busy easier for a lot of people. Of course if you feel dizzy or fatigued then you might want to…

My answer to your question is going to go into just some basic detail that covers my personal knowledge of lower carb metabolism that I'm sure is more than what you expected but it's a topic where other people might find interesting and valuable but it will answer your questions. Let me start by saying that there's other…

Sure, here you go. There's around 1300 recipes for low carb and ketogenic diets. Makes me wonder when the American Diabetes Association will acknowledge that it's not a progressive disease, which has been and still is their stance, unbelievable really. Anyway, good for you that your taking control of your own health and…

In the context for weight loss the more time blood glucose levels are maintained close to base line it helps regulates key hunger hormones one being ghrelin which stimulates hunger and leptin which signals fullness. it's the often consumed higher carb especially processed carbs that generate the surges in blood sugar and…
