Some cooling off already? Surprised to see this. Tim Hortons to pull Beyond Meat offerings everywhere except Ontario and B.C. "While restaurant chains across North America are jumping on the plant-based meat alternative craze, Tim Hortons appears to be taking a step back. The Canadian coffee and doughnut chain confirmed…

This kind of advice really resonates with me because it's what I grew up with. You had to eat all of your meat (the most nutritious part of the meal), try your vegetables (they're good for you) and then you filled up on the side dishes (cheaper grains and starches). And saved room for dessert of course. If you needed to…

I've been eating a fairly strict low carb diet for about seven years now. I don't follow any plan but my carbs are low enough I'm in ketosis more often than not. I had three family members die of cancer in a short period of time and I was extremely vulnerable - vegan and low carb were both on the table at that point. The…

For me personally, if I'm full but still hungry it means I ate too many vegetables and not enough fatty meat. When I started to really struggle with hunger after about 6 months of counting calories and losing 42 lbs I experienced this all of the time following the (back then) standard advice of more water, fiber and lean…

Everything I've read of the literature always boils down to more protein is better for dieters. No one should be deliberately cutting back on protein to comply with nonsensical "real" keto macros -- it is absolutely not evidence based. Even Virta Health (who are using ketogenic diets to treat type 2 diabetes) stress the…

Follow up article on this on Science Based Medicine. B-12 deficiency is what caused the blindness but they take exception to the "fussy-eating" and "blinded by junk food" descriptions. Goes into explaining Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. I think the author goes off the rails when he theorizes demonizing junk…

Kevin Hall certainly seems to think his work is misrepresented in this video. Here's his response from twitter:

The only thing you need for ketosis is carb restriction. You don't need to get a certain amount or percentage of fat in so please don't force it -- it's counter productive if you're trying to lose weight. If you're hungry, by all means eat (it doesn't have to be fat) but if you're not hungry that's normal. Your appetite…

Right now I'm leaning towards healthy people have healthy gut biomes. Anecdotal but more than one carnivore has shown greater diversity since adopting carnivore which is pretty interesting -- I'd think it would be the opposite but that doesn't seem to be what's happening. Fascinating stuff! As for what's "typical" I think…

Not to argue with anyone's personal experience but I have no problem incorporating higher carb fruits and vegetables into my diet in a satisfying (to me) way. If you're new to eating a low carb/ketogenic diet instead of working from a list of foods you can't have go by what actually fits your carb limit. So what if one…

Keto train to crazy town is a great post that puts thing into perspective. I'd hope there are still knowledgeable people helping out in the groups -- there used to be. No one aiming for weight loss should be force feeding fat when they're not hungry to meet a calorie goal. If that's what's being advised these days no…
