I lost 65 lbs with a low carb and ketogenic diet after a few years of finally realizing the problem I had was with sugar, and until I got rid of pretty much all sugar and sweeteners nothing else worked and not from the lack of trying. :)

Recording in a public space is legal and covered under the 1st amendment in the US and in Canada it's also legal in a public space, in a private space, that's up to the owner, they make the rules and most gyms are private.

Your weird Leo, what do you mean you don't like pork belly. >:)

A shrimp, avocado, chive and garlic 3 large egg omelet. Oh yeah, the best part, cooked in butter.

You exercise and weight train regularly so I would focus on protein add a few hundred calories while increasing the total amount of weight your lifting per week with progressive overload resulting in hopefully increased lean body mass and when you stall with progressive overload, add a few more calories. 6 lbs isn't a lot…

Yeah Ann, your talking about the difference between relative risk vs absolute risk. Pfizer was famous for their 36% relative risk reduction in fatal and non fatal heart attacks over a 5 year period with the advertising campaign I think in 2006 for statin's (Lipitor) and where the absolute risk reduction was 0.8% for all…

Japan's school lunch program wouldn't work in NA I suspect, mostly for cultural reasons but it certainly is pretty interesting, known as kyushoku https://youtu.be/fze5s1SlqB8

Here's what I found. https://newsroom.heart.org/news/8-hour-time-restricted-eating-linked-to-a-91-higher-risk-of-cardiovascular-death This is not a pier reviewed study and isn't published in any journal and was presented at their annual meeting within the AHA and this preliminary data was collected from 2003-2018 via food…

Well the OMAD crowd should then be dropping like flies with heart disease, good to know.

Here's a few RCT's that show health benefits of TRF for those that either, have never looked or who weren't aware. https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/107/12/3428/6747530 Metabolic Efficacy of Time-Restricted Eating in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials…

The challenge of educating the public when powerful interests control the narrative on just about every level is going to be a challenge. The change is going to have to happen through the individuals that seek solutions to their own health situations where grassroot movements grow exponentially and mostly through community…

Your probably talking about TRE or TRF (time restricted eating/feeding) and in most controlled studies it's generally the calorie restriction that leads to weight loss and not when those meals were consumed, so a basic no, scientifically. On the other hand, in the real world where people are not in a lab and being feed an…

If it was unhealthy humans wouldn't have survived, full stop. The longest fast is around 380 days or there about and lost around 275 lbs and would've been in ketosis. Back in our H-G'er days it could have been days of actual running down prey without food and ketosis was the normal state of metabolism for the most part…

I had pork belly with eggs this morning and I'm sure my waist is smaller now. :D :#

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

Before I fix the world I'm obligated to fix myself first and foremost, then I might have some advice, but unfortunately that would only be anecdotal. And my basic anecdotal advice is to replace some UPF with more whole food as a first step and I suspect that will be a very tough go for the vast majority of people, small…

"foods" engineered to be hyperpalatable is the foundation of ultra processed foods which typically are a combination of carbohydrates, sugar, fat and salt which triggers the brains reward system which interferes with the body's ability to regulate appetite and satiety which encourages excessive eating, this isn't rocket…

Well, around 88% of the population are sick and have at least 1 non communicable disease, so that doesn't leave a lot of upside as far as the total amount of people so I suspect it'll come down to each person eating more of those really yummy foods that people seem to love more than being blind or losing a limb. I think we…

Just don't do that 2 days in a row and accept the fact that there's consequences to binge eating even though a lot of that will be the mass of the food you ate plus some water weight.

Yeah, who knows why someone decides to do the things they do unless they actually tell us. I suspect they may have heard that low carb diets are good for losing weight, or that low carb diets are good for people with certain health issues, like IR and diabetes, which when you look at the general population it's quite…

Well, that's not actually vegetarian but obviously eating less carbs if that's what your trying to do, you would then consume more fish and seafood and lower carb dairy and low carb plant food, lets not forget that. I know that sounds kind of obvious, and that's because it is. :)

If your pre diabetic then you have a carb intolerance problem which just means your body is having a hard time processing carbs properly which can lead to higher blood sugar and eventually if it persists, diabetes and other non communicable diseases. Reducing carbs is a good strategy and focus on whole foods, non-starchy…

Yeah, I had a motocross accident and cracked a couple of ribs years ago. Couldn't play any sports for about 3 months and for me during that time was hockey and golf but almost 9 months later playing hockey I got tweaked along the boards and could feel it that rib area, take care, cheers. :)

There are metabolic circumstance, no doubt about it that can make it difficult but it still comes down to CICO in the end and there is no 1 gene that prevents weight loss. There are no ward studies where obese people can't lose weight when in a deficit. What needs to be done to meet the criteria for that weight loss is…

A common theme I've noticed over the 5 years I've been researching the carnivore diet, which I'm not a proponent of nor do I suggest you try it is the amount of people that report their Crohn's was greatly reduced or their symptoms were completely gone. Also many on a low carb and ketogenic diet find relief as well. BTW…

How's the weather on the mountain? :)

Keto for brain health and improvements in cognitive ability is well documented and goes back a decade or longer. Again a keto diet is good for reducing systemic inflammation, again well documented and on a personal note I've been either low carb or ketogenic for over a decade and it eliminated my IBS, constipation, and…

Everyone is different because everyone's metabolic health is their own and no two people will be the same. Certain diets, the Standard American Diet for example is problematic for the vast majority and any divergence from that diet will more than likely show signs of improved health. The problem with that is again, most…

Yeah, sugar was my problem a very big one and removed most of it from my diet, I do have some fruit occasionally and do get some natural sugars in dairy for example and I'm low carb/ketogenic and became that was because of sugar and my health. Mostly desserts are what's very very off putting most of the time, not so much…

Yeah I did or at least I was headed in that direction. Diabetes is really an insulin problem where chronically elevated blood sugar manifests itself to the point a person develops glucose toxicity which then can and does impair the beta cells of the pancreas to produce and secrete insulin effectively which then translates…
