Keto on a budget
I know I have seen some posts about trying to keep costs costs down as there is a misperception that it expensive. Here is video that could be helpful. There is some extraneous stuff at the beginning, so you can skip forward to about the 8 minute mark where she actually starts talking about this topic.…

Fenugreek to lower BG
One of the supplements I have been using lately to help with BG is Fenugreek based on some research showing benefit. It is one of a few I have been using since the beginning of April and my BG (fasting and PP) is down a few points so I have started digging in to find more data on those I am using and wanted to share this…

Need help with will power?
Many people struggle with will power when making dietary changes, whether those changes are for weight, blood sugar control, or some other reason. The way the main stream belittles the entire low carb WOE is to say even if it is effective, it is "unsustainable." Of course there are many of us who have eaten this way for…

Chris Masterjohn analysis of the Kresser/Kahn debate on Joe Rogan's podcast
I know many either watched or listened to the debate between Chris Kresser and Joel Kahn on Joe Rogan's show. If you did, but felt confused afterwards, or if you just couldn't handle the nearly 4 hours that would take (2 hours if you are like me and listen to podcasts at 2x speed), here is a very good analysis of the…

Vegan vs Paleo - Podcast debate between Joel Kahn and Chris Kresser
This is well worth the time, at least for someone like me that listens to podcasts at 2x speed. I think Joe Rogan hit it on the head that the biggest takeaway is the modern diet sucks. Unfortunately, it isn't until more than 3 hours into a nearly 4 hour podcast that Dr. Kahn (vegan) admits he does not advocate tying to get…

Keto, cholesterol, CAC and heart disease risk
After 3+ years of eating keto for BG control, I have read more than the average person about cholesterol because that seems to be the boogie man everyone points to when they try to say this WOE is dangerous. I am not a doctor, but I wanted to share some personal results that some may find interesting. First, like many…

More self experimentation - MODY?
I have posted some of my n=1 experiments here as I have tried to understand my high blood glucose as I have not responded or had very minimal response to pretty much every intervention I can find. I think I may have figured out why, so I decided to test. As background, I am not, nor have I ever been significantly…

research nerd resource
I can't believe it took me this long to find out about this, but if you want to find good research articles on just about anything use" https://scholar.google.com/ So far, I have found it is much easier to use than PubMed.

Insulin Resistance Calculator
I was listening to the Break Nutrition podcast where they were discussing a recent paper evaluating all the various ways to calculate insulin resistance. I think many have heard of the most common - HOMA-IR - and some have heard of QUICKI. However, there are now 2 papers evaluating a total of 8 (I think) different formula…

High Cholesterol and LDL is good - Scientific Evidence
@baconslave - this may be a good item to add under resources https://www.karger.com/Article/Pdf/381654 This is an in depth look at research regarding cholesterol and LDL levels with all cause mortality. It is very technical as it is written as a special edition of the journal "Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism," so if you…

Sticking through the cholesterol wave
Based on my research, I knew going into this some people will get elevated cholesterol when going keto, but the ratios (HDL/triglyceride being the most important) would be better. I also knew that frequently the elevation is temporary and will trend down after the spike. Well, here are some numbers for those interested.…

Sodium - Science for 3-5 g (3000-5000 mg) per day
Most in this group understand we need more than the 2300 mg (2.3g) of sodium the "experts" say we should have. However, the general public doesn't understand this. Therefore, you likely have loved ones who will be scared you are killing yourself as you salt your bone broth and drink pickle juice to up your sodium intake.…

Quest Coconut Oil Powder?
I bought some of this a while back because I thought it would be easier to use while I was traveling. After all, packing liquids in 3 oz bottles can be a pain. Anyway, it seemed to work really well in coffee, however, I think I may have found a downside. It does have some additives, of course, to make it a powder. Per…

funny/cool kid story
Monday was the first day of school for my 12 yo 7th grade daughter. I ask if she is interested in any of the steak I am making for dinner. She gives a worn out unenthusiastic "sure" as a response then tells my wife, she just wants some "comfort food." I made a nice big porterhouse and cut some off of each side for her. I…
