My HDL is almost that high (86).

Good thing you didn't eat a whole one then. 😀

Historically, most humans consumed what was locally available, which often led to limited variety and we have survived and trived for over 3 million years. However, modern science now emphasizes a balanced diet because we have a much deeper understanding of nutrition and its impact on health and our shining example of what…

Yeah, she's not saying anything that isn't well known if a person did any research, or at least this has been known for me for well over a decade which is when I originally used my research to address my prediabetic condition, along with some other health issues that were associated with mostly chronic inflammation, which…

For sure people with diabetes are in that demographic which represents about 11% of the US population. Also the road to diabetes are people that are prediabetic with around an additional 38%, and if you include people with insulin resistance that number goes up by an additional 30% or higher depending on who's data it is.…

A perfect example of why people need to do their own research.

[quote] @neanderthin my comment to you was not specifically re keto or carnivore or alternative way of eating as compared to what the op prefers. [quote/] @PAV8888 My belief is that what the OP prefers to eat is not necessarily under their total control even when it's known concisely that what their doing has grave health…

It's because we're not always in a calorie deficit, when we think we are. Humans are biologically wired for survival and not 10% body fat and when we're in a calorie defict our brain thinks we're starving and activate hunger hormones like ghrelin and suppressing satiety hormones like leptin and basically makes us hungry…

@PAV8888 Yeah, your right, it can't be reconciled based on the evidence as it's laid out and suspect it won't be taken very seriously simply because the carnivore diet is right out there in left field as an intervention. My statement is based on my experience listening to persons that adapted the carnivore diet, which to…

If there was ever a person that has all the hallmarks for someone who should try a carnivore diet, your it. imo.

Becoming more competent at cooking requires a thought process that requires understanding, planning, practice and reflection. Basically it's the pathway forward for everything we do in life and it's possible this is too much of an ask from you about your cooking, and from what you've said so far I believe your in for a…

Too many variables to attribute it to just taking berberine, especially over 9 months and there's no control so it's just a guess really, but good for you reducing your A1C.

Ammonia can be as simple as electrolyte balance, or consuming too many amino acids aka protein and this process can sometimes lead to an ammonia smell in sweat from intense workouts and in the urine, especially if protein intake is high, or it could be complicated like a dysfunctional liver or kidneys. I suspect some is…

That's a recipe for a big insulin spike which doesn't work for me. !00g's of salmon and 2 eggs are just under 300cals and works for me.

Here's around 1300 recipes.

[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…
