It's the MFP paradox: high carbers push people to embrace no-carb/carnivorism. I would say they are also pretty successful...

For those who love pizza: usual tomato sauce and mozzarella, with arugula, prosciutto and tiny slices of parmesan. I also love arugula with grilled salmon and tomato sauce.

You are right, but that is the scientific report. On the other hand, choosemyplate states (answers page): "Do I still need to watch my cholesterol intake? While adequate evidence is not available for a quantitative limit for dietary cholesterol in the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines, cholesterol is still important to consider…

Yes we can definitely call it exercise. But if someone wants to improve their cardiovascular health just by walking, they should walk at least at a brisk pace.

If you want to stay fit, these are the official guidelines: https://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/basics/adults/ Just strolling around up to 10000 steps or more may increase your TDEE, but doesn't do much for your health.

Well, aside from the SFA controversy, also at Harvard they don't like so much USDA's guidelines. The layman version of the guidelines, which is "choosemyplate" "doesn’t offer the most complete picture when it comes to basic nutrition advice" https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/healthy-eating-plate-vs-usda-myplate/

I guess IR may be seen that way, but as a "defense mechanism" is not that smart, since the final outcome is diabetes.

Doctor, as soon as possible. Your GP will likely write a referral for a gastroenterologist.

Ah btw, speaking about stress release, walking can also help tremendously, especially in a nature set: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19568835

Mhmm... foruming while walking doesn't sound good for your posture :smiley:

Wait, you say Nina Teicholz is "hardly without bias" (which may be true, why not) and then you link "carbsanity"? Is it a a sort of joke?

RCTs with 1000 subjects? Sure?

Well, yes, the 10% rule is probably not necessary, but it is better to follow a starting plan, like, say, this http://rw.runnersworld.com/training-plan-finder/start-walking-plan.html especially if someone is obese and sedentary...

This is generally true, but I've never read anything about negative effects of too much walking. On the other hand, there is evidence that spending more than 8 hours per day sitting shorten your lifespan. So I think that someone telling to go out for a walk instead of watching tv is giving pretty good advise.

Anyway, personally I run 3/4 times per week when I have enough free time. When I am too busy, I walk 1:30/2 hours per day. It may seem contradictory, but you can break the total time in short walks, that you can do wherever you are, whatever you wear, and you don't need to take a shower afterwards :smiley:

Actually, a relative risk of 1.2 means that the risk is not 1.2% but 20% higher (...Mfp "scientists").

I tend to agree with you, but there are forums out there with the opposite rule (where users must use existing threads to ask new questions on the same subject), so it may be confusing for some people.

So, if someone resumes an old thread to ask a new question, we should refrain from answering or what? Please expand.

Well, you may want to read a book first. Alternative approaches to nutrition (paleo, vegan, LCHF, etc) require some preliminary homework.

It may be a horribly vague concept. On the other hand "more than 40 percent of adults have dietary intakes of vitamin A, C, D and E, calcium and magnesium below the average requirement for their age and gender" http://www.ewg.org/research/how-much-is-too-much/appendix-b-vitamin-and-mineral-deficiencies-us In other words,…

Fact is that the expression itself "fruit salad" sounds strange to Latin ears, because a "salad" (insalata in Italian) is supposed to be "salted". In fact, we use a different word for the sweet one (macedonia) :smiley:

Well, if I quote you, and I write something like "I don't think so" or "I doubt it", then you can assume I'm in disagreement. You can also assume I disagree with you if I make a statement or post a link that directly contradict your statements. Otherwise, you can assume I'm just having a conservation with you'll and/or…

A Canadian study found a correlation between the inability to do sit ups and an increased mortality risk: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11984288 So putting together the Brazilian and the Canadian results, it seems that is not the flexibility, but the core strength that matters. Independently from the alleged…

Sorry sometimes I just skim read your posts, why on earth should we argue if your definition coincides with the Merriam Webster? And by the way, do you know the definition of "projection", in psychology? :smiley:

I missed your definition of junk, but no reason to make our own definitions, when there are dictionaries available: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/junk%20food

And confirms what stated in the studies I posted: "So far studies of foragers like the Tsimane, Arctic Inuit, and Hadza have found that these peoples traditionally didn’t develop high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, or cardiovascular disease. “ Eat whatever you want, but you are safer without junk, highly processed food.

I said "studies", do you want another one? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/244410

Anyway, for the geeks, here is the paper http://geriatrictoolkit.missouri.edu/srff/deBrito-Floor-Rise-Mortality-2012..pdf

Way to go GBEA!

Naah, just a higher relative risk.
