Mutual aid is most effective with people you spend time with.

Global mutual aid just becomes a series of begging gofundmes

Clearly math is satanic

Thanks for making Lemmy so much better! Glad your here

Be well rested, get a full night's sleep the day before

Arrive early, in case of traffic or getting lost, but if there is a problem communicate it

Never trash talk anyone, former employer or coworker, it's a red flag

Be ready to talk in depth about anything on your resume

Do some research about the company, your interviewer. Any special projects, books, publications. You asking detailed questions will impress them

If your not desperate for a job, don't put on a personality, act like your normal self. You want to make sure it's a good cultural fit too

Look at the cars in the parking lot, that will tell you a lot about the company pay and culture

Wow, great writeup.

Movement is the body's lubrication! 100%

People have found success with avoiding all sources of external inflammation, such as the dietary pattern that shall not be named.. yes it's only anecdotal at this point, it could be something to try as a pain management strategy for a few weeks

Soap is soap - Body Wash / Shampoo are just soap.

When the soap is gone, break out the water rinsed soap bottle

When that is gone, break out the dish soap

When that is gone, just jump into the swimming pool until you have time to go shopping.

Would I prefer not to have fufu fancy soap? Sure, but i'm not going to waste money by ignoring it.

I'm still half way through a bottle of industrial hand soap i use in the shower... it's lasted over a year at this point. None of my tinder dates have complained

Let’s say you only eat red lentils for your proteins, which according to that DIAAS calculator has only 59% of the SAA compared to the amino acid distribution that your body needs. Then the solution is simply to eat twice as many red lentils to get to 118% SAA.

That isn't quite how Liebig's barrel works, just to be clear you need to eat till the minimum amino acid is satisfied. So Red Lentils, you need to eat 200g to get 25g of usable bioavailable protein. For a average adult with a 130g daily protein requirement, that means they will need to eat ~5x that dose, so 1,000g of red lentils per day. Now, a body builder may be willing to eat 1kg of cooked red lentils per day, but that is a big ask for the global population.

DIAAS is only relevant, if you eat close to the minimum amount of protein that your body needs in general, which is hard to do.

Most people under eat their protein; Especially if we look at consumed protein by diaas measurement and not "crude protein" estimates based on nitrogen readings.

haha, I don't know doctor mike.

There is a whole spectrum of glucose control.

At the one end we have

• Carbaholic
• Low Carb < 100-150g / day
• Ketogenic < 20-50g / day
• Zero Carb ~ close to zero

Throw in intermittent fasting of some type, and you have a bit more variability. The literature I've seen indicates most of the major benefits are seen proportionally to the time glucose isn't elevated.

Broccoli at 7g of carbs per 100g serving could fit into most of the keto protocols, its more of a carb budget then a restriction of all carbs.

The blood/brain barrier can become insulin resistant and when that happens the ratio of glucose and insulin in the brain itself isn't the same as in the blood stream, so even though there are major glucose levels in the brain it can't be utilized without insulin in the right ratio. Interestingly ketones pass through the blood brain barrier with no resistance, and can be utilized for energy for most brain function 70-95% depending on the keto adaption period... There are some non-human studies on how ketones can signal repair pathways in mice brains to dispose of misfolded proteins, though its a bit of a black box at the moment.

I bring up the mechanisms we know about the brain to indicate that some neurological conditions may benefit more from ketones persistently then just low carb, but i do agree intermittent fasting is a great place to start.

If the condition is serious patients can use a ketone and glucose monitor to track their carbohydrate tolerance and avoid events. I.E. everyone's carbohydrate tolerance is different based on genetics, muscle uptake, GI function, etc. The indexes above are conservative.

It’s a very extreme change, that can only be done safely with a lot of care , as it implies cutting out most fruit and vegetables, for instance.

https://www.metabolicmind.org/is-keto-safe

You can still eat non-starchy veggies on keto. You can have fruit in moderation. When changing your metabolism care should be taken with medications and worked out with the prescribing doctor as the power of medicine change change in the new metabolism. The eating pattern itself is without harm, there is no essential carbohydrate for human nutrition, no deficiencies.

it’s not medically recommended for anything but a few very specific serious neurological disorders.

And ADHD isn't a a Neurological disorder might not experience some benefit?

Here is a medical textbook Ketogenic : The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health

But TLDR it is used in the treatment of type 2 and type 1 diabetes, the treatment of high blood pressure, etc.

More specifically for NDDs : https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-821617-0.00006-1

While the brain is perceived as a glucose-dependent organ, ketone bodies are an alternative and possibly superior fuel, allowing patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), dementia, and mood disorders to improve their glucose hypometabolic states and associated symptoms. Ketogenic diets (KDs) are an accepted standard of treatment for refractory epilepsies and alleviate neuroinflammation in other neuropathologies. Research on the KD in the treatment of these disorders is in its infancy, yet has demonstrable restorative potential begging further investigation.

I wouldn’t go around recommending something like that.

The bad part about learning about a better metabolism is you feel the need to help others, so I do what I can to make sure people are informed about the option.

If you want to enter a ketogenic state, intermittent fasting is a much less worrisome way to do it.

I would agree, but in the context of someone wanting general health improvements - and perhaps a good starting point for ADHD. For Neurological issues consistency is key, going in and out of sugar burning and insulin resistance may not be enough of a treatment to see positive results. Using your Epilepsy example - the benefit is seen only with consistent adherence.

In fact I’ll go further and suggest that in the not so distant future everyone is going to happily eat insects.

I think your correct. The world is running out of top soil - the current industrial farming system isn't sustainable. So a future where plants are super rare and expensive seems likely to me.

Mostly its a concern about the DIAAS of the protein source. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestible_Indispensable_Amino_Acid_Score There is a reference of published DIAAS for different sources here https://www.diaas-calculator.com/

Basically a function of how much usable protein a human gets from different sources. i.e. Liberg's Barrel of Amino Acids https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-Liebig-barrel-illustrates-the-limitation-of-protein-synthesis-due-to-the-lack-of-an_fig20_333729916

PBF Protein sources come attached to plant byproducts that some people can't tolerate very well, lectins, oxalates, etc https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/natural-toxins-in-food

In addition much of the human Plant based food supply has problems with agricultural contaminants being ingested by humans, such as glyphosates which some people are intolerant of.

Ok, I'm happy to provide documentation, medical texts, papers, and the like... But keto is excellent for glucose control, and improves liver function. If your GP was skeptical about keto, fair enough, but I can give you/them the resources to satisfy themselves to the efficacy and safety.

Yes, if your taking any medications changing your metabolism can change how powerful those medications are (going to keto usually makes medications stronger, which could be dangerous)

If you don't mind me asking - What are your blood sugar and liver problems that prevent keto? Keto is well known for improving blood glucose control.

Ketogenic diet helps with ADHD. So it's the opposite of a supplement, you have to take the sugar out of the food

I.e. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0289133 Ketogenic diet ameliorates attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in rats via regulating gut microbiota

Not much research in human studies yet for ADHD specifically, but the anecdotes and n=1 case studies are compelling. Not eating sugar is free, so it's worth a try

Update - Even metabolic mind (the group funding most of the research, says ADHD is still a area of ongoing research.

We don’t have robust evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of ketogenic therapy for anxiety, ADHD and brain fog, but clinical experience suggests that in fact these conditions might benefit significantly from ketogenic and metabolic therapies. Early results from clinical trials for other diagnoses show that improved attention, clarity of thought, and decreased anxiety are common beneficial outcomes.

But its safe, and free, so worth a shot.

I've done it. It works.

Insects are normal food in my neck of the woods. You can buy them off the street deep fried, with dipping sauce.

Good source of protein

I try not to eat from the street very often as they use vegetable oil which I'm trying to avoid.

You can pee first, the poop without peeing as a separate transaction

Nobel prize....

At some point a name is just a name, time buys forgiveness

There is no such thing as a fully anonymous sim/esim even if you buy without identity, the physical phone itself has to login to the cell network and it's very trackable.

If your also looking at dietary interventions:

I agree with grandparent that whole food and minimally processed is the best.

However, my reading indicates that meat and specifically beef are good for you. Also saturated fat from unprocessed sources (beef again) is quite healthy.

Since your on this fitness journey it's critically important you eat complete and bioavailable protein every day. You can check the diaas scores for various sources, but animal protein is the best for building and maintaining your body.

Like grandparent I've also changed my diet to whole food, no processing, and seen a massive improvement in body composition and blood metrics. The only difference is I started with keto, then moved into complete carnivore (lots of beef)
