  • The CICO model isn't helpful to most people.

    I strongly think we need to stop telling people about CICO. It's a thermodynamic model, not a clinical model.

    It's much better to use the insulin obesity model, it's a clinical model - https://hackertalks.com/post/7617450

    Basically we are not Bomb Calorimeters. You can eat uranium with billions of calories and not gain weight. We are hormonal machines, which have amazing homeostasis feedback already built it, we have to eat appropriately so those systems actually work.

    An illustrative example: if you want to lose 1lbs in a month you have to eat 30 calories less per meal. Nobody is going to measure their calories that accurately, not to mention food labels can be 25% off the exact amount.. which means every meal you are eating +-208 calories.. (on a 2500kcal day diet).

  • National security letters and research... That's why there is zero information, it's all sealed.

    That's why the lawyer won't say anything, they are not allowed to.

    Wasn't unheard of for PhD students at my university to get their research made secret while their PhD was in progress...created huge headaches for everyone, especially if they couldn't get clearance to even see/finish their research.

  • Diet Hacks!

    Want to lower your LDL? (you shouldn't want to do this)

    • Seed oils! (corn oil, canola oil, any veggie oil)

    Want to lower your uric acid? (you shouldn't want to do this)

    • Allulose 20g a day reduces uric acid levels by 50% in some people in 6 weeks

    Want to dramatically improve your HBA1C before a blood draw?

    • Donate blood 2 weeks ahead of time (new blood cells created to replace the donated blood wont be glycated, lowering your HbA1C)

    Want to reduce your blood glucose levels dramatically? (do this)

    • Don't eat any sugar or carbohydrates

    Food Dietary Advice:

    If your not in a rush, any whole food diet (no factory food), will work for most people

    If you want to reverse a problem, a ketogenic diet (no sugar, no carbohydrates) will help you claw your way back to normal in steady consistent steps

    If you have no time to waste and need to drop fat now... Go full carnivore

    Diet Tips:

    • Eat fat to lose fat
    • Eat two eggs before you allow yourself any snack
    • Eat butter as a snack - Not hungry enough to eat butter? Then your not actually hungry
    • Sometimes hunger is actually electrolyte cravings, take salt/potassium to reduce urges
    • A CGM (continuous glucose monitor) is an AMAZING tool, immediate food feedback, can have a accountability friend watch you and coach you. This is the best tool to stay on a good eating pattern.
  • Preparation is the problem.

    If you know the enemy is going to walk across a specific field at a specific time you can prepare. Pre-sight artillery, arrange a mine field, lay an ambush, flood the field, etc.

    I'd you don't know the enemies plans you have to prepare for all possibilities and you can't concentrate your resources

    You can do anything, but you can't do everything. In the military there is the concept of defeat-in-detail. Even if you have a better force, with larger numbers, a engagement where the enemy has concentrated resources can overwhelm the superior force in small engagements. This is the key behind guerilla warfare, the weaker force attacks the stronger force where they don't anticipate, strike fast, disappear.

  • Maximum paranoia.

    The main profile should be very vanilla.

    Use a secondary profile as your daily driver, play with the cross profile notifications

    Use different logins for the main profile and secondary profiles.

  • All food is part of a lifecycle. Whatever you eat, something has died for it. Yes, even plants.

    But do we really need to have this argument every time? There are plenty of vegan communities to pound the pulpit in, I even upvote you in your vegan community posts...

    We are just here trying to have a good time. Just have a egg and relax.
