  • What's that longest time you went without eating? Why?

  • 36 hours every week for a year? That's intense

    Were you eating a normal omnivore carbohydrate-based diet at the time? Did salt or electrolytes help with the headache?

  • annoys me and freaks me out that it was all psychological.

    It's not really psychological. There's a lot of physiological processes involved. One you have to go from a sugar burning metabolism to a fat burning metabolism. That can be troublesome for people, during that transition electrolytes can get out of balance.

    If you want to try fasting again, I recommend starting a ketogenic diet first, get comfortable with keto, get past the adaptation phase after 2 or 3 weeks. Increase your electrolyte consumption the entire time. Salt, potassium, magnesium. Then, try a fast and see if you feel different, make sure you continue your electrolytes supplementation.

    Once you're in ketosis, starting a fast usually isn't much trouble for people, they don't really notice it.

  • Do you use a CGM or ckm to monitor glucose and ketones? Have you noticed a pattern?

    During the 7 day fast did seizures still happen at the 1/day rate?

    I'm really happy to read how your doing the same intervention with your partner, that's great and very thoughtful

  • Keto fats can come from saturated fats, I strongly recommend against using industrial seed oils as a fat substitute as they increase overall body inflammation

  • Gold is a common food decoration and considered edible, but of no nutritional value.

    Most plants are slow acting poisons, they don't want to be eaten. Humans have a tolerance for some level of some poisons... Many nuts have trace levels of cyanide, but people eat them anyway.... Beans if not soaked can make people very sick, etc ...

    The core problem is lots of people eat things that aren't ideal - especially when starving.

    Lots of people have gluten sensitivity, they get a inflamed gut when they eat it, but they eat it anyway.. so it's a poison, but it doesn't kill them quickly, and they will argue gluten is a food...

    There are very few perfect foods with no downsides: eggs get pretty close, but even then some people have allergies

  • basic blood draws don’t differentiate them, you need more detailed blood tests.

    You can get pretty close with a standard lipid panel: the TG/HDL ratio < 2, is strongly correlated with insulin sensitivity and LDL being pattern A (the undamaged, good type).

    And you’re not supposed to draw conclusions from epidemiological studies with results lower than a 100% risk increase (aka doubling risk). The result of this study was 18%.

    Epidemiology cannot establish causation in any circumstance, but if the hazard ratio is > 4 (so 400% risk increase) then further studies/interventions are warranted. This is why epidemiology is more accurately called hypothesis generating. But yeah a 1.18 hazard ratio is such low noise it doesn't warrant further study, only people with agendas try to use such a low noisy signal for political ends.

    The WHO should be ashamed for platforming this trash study as if it’s 6-sigma physics results

  • Great write-up, thank you for taking the time, I liked reading it

    the carnivore diet because 1: it's boring, 2: it's expensive, and 3: you need to do more research than what I've stated here to avoid problems. But regardless, it is doable.

    As somebody doing carnivore, I don't think it's boring.

    When you remove all of the plants from your grocery shopping, I don't even think it's more expensive. It's about the same price. You're not buying all that other stuff.

    As far as research goes, I would agree for getting started, it's a really good idea to follow somebody's program, especially around electrolytes for adaptation. But if you are eating red meat and no sugar, and electrolytes, I don't think there's any negative problems you need to avoid

  • None of the Wikipedia claims are based on reproducible science, at best the justification is weak epidemiology with weak hazard rations and not controlling for carbohydrate consumption.

    There is no nutrient deficiencies on a carnivore eating pattern, with zero carbohydrates, the nutrition from fatty red meat is complete

  • If the problem manifests after years of consumption blame it on user error and not eating a balanced diet.

  • It's an appliance. You stick it in the back of a closet and you forget about it. There's a company dedicated to providing updates, and reducing interference during upgrades.

    So if you just want something to work, having a company that guarantees it just works is very valuable

  • What's a popular opinion on Lemmy that's unpopular in the real world?

  • I've found it very useful as a tool to gather references from talks that don't cite claims...

    It's like a super search for context. I would never use a LLM to provide logic or reason, and sadly I think many people do.

  • On a individual level. I completely agree with you.

    It's when large instances with large user bases. Get very opinionated and start to defederate from other instances for differences of politics or opinions, but not bad behavior. That's where I think Lemmy swings too far into censorship

  • This is a new phrasing of the old take

    Laptops are for creatives

    Phones are for consumers

    The big divide isn't the computing power but the input methods, allowing for richer expression
