Coconut oil &UC
belmarrahealth.com/ulcerative-colitis-flare-up-more-likely-with-high-consumption-of-certain-fatty-acids-and-coconut-oil-study/ Because there is no one best answer to any problem for everyone...never black or white but always shades of gray. Anyone else find that there are conflicting nutrition articles on whether coconut…
Keto adjunct to Chemo & Radiation
Link with video (needs login/member status): medscape.com/viewarticle/862871 Just a nice short article showing benefit of ketosis as an adjunct/complement to chemo/radiation; this is not a cure but an aid in achieving remission (huge difference often misused). "Could Diet Improve Outcomes in Glioblastoma?" Alan R. Jacobs,…
Keto-Karnivores vs. Fiber
No, Fiber is not essential for the ketogenic diet; however, this does not mean Fiber should be ignored or avoided. Some of you Keto-Karnivores might want to consider whether the benefits of fiber outweigh what little detrimental effects fiber has & vice versa (risks of no fiber vs. benefits of no fiber). Below is a recent,…
GI Flora & ASD presentation
Watch: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cw4vbkD9lIg I just love the parts on the intrathecal proprionic acid being injected into the mice and their behavior. The presenter does mention the possible role of ketones competing for transport sites using proprionic acid...a small molecule that is implicated in causing repetitive…
Bored, Watch Jerry Brainum discuss Insulin
This nutrition writer, Jerry Brainum, is a really interesting guy to listen to on discussing nutrition, science, supplements, bodybuilding, health, etc. Warning: An attention span is required for watching; these aren't BS 5min topics covering the basics; he even writes much longer winded, detailed articles discussing these…
Amino Acid Ratios
Similar to Lipid composition & ratios...say Saturated Fat : Polyunsaturated Fat : Monounsaturated fat, anyone here dabble/experiment with Amino Acid ratios? I'm currently interested & looking into Glycine : Glutamate ratios (higher Glycine, restricted Glutamate); Glutamate is already lower in Low-carbohydrate diets…
New bb.com Keto supplement article
bodybuilding.com/fun/5-supplements-for-ketogenic-dieters Mediocre article, but I'm glad they didn't just automatically throw in "whey protein, Creatine, multivitamin, fish oil" like they do for nearly every supplement article. Thoughts, opinions? Discuss. No mention of Yohimbine as the preferred "fat burner"? But it is…
High-Carb vs Low-Carb Diet: Which Is Better for Athletes? Medscape article
Medscape read: "High-Carb vs Low-Carb Diet: Which Is Better for Athletes?" hould Diet Guidelines Be Revised? Patrick Davitt, PhD, tries to keep carbohydrates down to 20% of the calories he consumes. You might think he's following one of the weight-loss regimens that became so popular a few years ago. But Davitt already is…
Good Medscape nutrition article (discussion): Mental Health/diet
Just pay attention to which findings come from meta analyses & randomized trials (how the hell do you randomize chocolate consumption?....reference cited methodology) "How Diet Influences Mental Health: New Findings, New Advances Drew Ramsey, MD: Hi. Welcome to Brain Food. I'm Dr Drew Ramsey. Emily Deans, MD: And I'm Dr…
Interesting article on Nitrates + Glaucoma
Take it for what it's worth; there is seldom strong evidence (i.e. randomized, controlled, comparator arm or placebo) from dietary interventions in disease prevention, but there is always optimism in possible risk reduction. Straight from Medscape: "Dietary Nitrate in Vegetables May Protect Against Glaucoma Lara C. Pullen,…
A good read: BB.com motivation/music/exercise article
bodybuilding.com/fun/the-simple-trick-that-will-skyrocket-your-motivation Because there are far too many distractions in modern times. Personally, I could never keep proper form & tempo if I were to listen to music while weight lifting...it involves much more concentration than most people think, unless you're into bad…
Workout variations, angles
m.youtube.com/user/JDCav24 I've been browsing this guy's channel after growing bored of a decade or so of conventional "bodybuilder" type movements. He's more so into functional training & literally adding "twists" to movements for hitting various muscle groups at different angles. Seems better for getting an old school…
A good read
* medscape.com/viewarticle/853544 Not that I'm a non-keto/low-carb basher...or 1 of those vegans on a mission to "convert" people to their Religion (I mean diet...jokingly of course).
Ketostix: instrumental analysis 101
According to Lexicomp: Ketostix for ketone urinalysis utilizing Nitroprusside (i.e. Color change) is not reliable for detection of Beta Hydroxybutyric acid, the ketone which compromises about 80% of total ketones when someone is in a state of Ketosis. However, Ketostix do reliably measure Acetic acetate (about 20% of total…
Self Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) & Protein
In attempt to do Keto the right way, I will be monitoring BG 4-5 times a day whilst playing around with protein/EAA intake (variable). Mainly in attempt to gauge post prandial BG rise attributed to protein to determine an ideal limit to protein intake. This should be a cakewalk in terms of methodology since I also…
