Found this today via random chance. It’s an article that appeared in Reader’s Digest. It was following the release of Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It – which was a condensed version of Good Calories, Bad Calories. So if you want a really quick summary, from the Author himself, here you go: […]

I read Gary Taubs’ earlier book Good Calories Bad Calories a few weeks ago, I followed it up with his newer book Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It. While it doesn’t have the same breadth of information as Good Calories it’s more clearly delivered and easier for non-technical-medial people to understand. […]

You can read the full thing here: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/columnists/article4449967.ece?shareToken=7dba4f3ccd918bfcc1a900e04c14f6bb Quick quote: Indeed, the evidence that insisting on low-fat diets caused people to eat more carbohydrates, and that led to the explosion in obesity and diabetes, looks pretty strong — so far. After all, the main route by which the body lays down fat is to manufacture […]

I’m finally finishing up Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Healthby Gary Taubes. He wrote another book “Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It” that apparently covers much of the same info but is simpler and easier to take in, I’m going to read it […]

Really excellent presentation about his own N=1 experiment with Ketosis. Gives quite a bit of info but doesn’t overwhelm with details. Same guy from TEDMED Share

Just saw this, had to share. It comes with excellent sources and references to valid studies: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/8-common-misconceptions-about-ketogenic-diets/ Share

Last night I watched this really great presentation. She sums a lot of the concepts surrounding Keto very well. I didn’t ever get “The Diabetus” but I was heading down that path and I’m absolutely insulin resistant, probably worse. Share

This is adapted from a really good write-up on reddit.com/r/soylent – If you want to know more about why Ketogenic Diets work, check out my review of “Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It.” The aim with nutritional ketosis is to get under a certain threshold of carbohydrates so your body is […]

A coworker asked me a while ago about all the stuff I’m using, so here are the apps, monitors and other things I’m using to track stuff about my health. Activity Monitor I grabbed a used Fitbit Flex off eBay about a month ago to see if I would like it better than the Jawbone […]

Loosely following the recipe for “Fat Bombs” from this site, I put all the coconut flour plus the caloric equivalent to all of my MCT into these little guys. Ended up with 100g of coconut flour that I toasted in the oven for about 10 minutes and 104g of coconut oil that happily melted when […]

Honestly, you’re better off using a program like Cron-o-Meter. It supports net carbs on the web and the mobile app and does a much better job.  If you do still want to use MyFitnessPal: Do the install, as instructed on this page  Next you’ll want to set up your “macros” in MyFitnessPal:Go to: Home -> Goals […]

I had a crazy huge lunch of pizza on October 22nd, that night I tried the “induction” recipe for the first time. Then I went full-bore the next day on Thursday, October 23, 2014. I’m expecting to hit at least 16 lbs down at the month mark and I’m gunning for 18. Today I took a drill […]

Somebody asked me about the recipe that I’m using for ketosis. It’s the same as QuidNYCs for ongoing ketosis but with Canola oil instead of Olive. This is mostly because I have issues with the smell/flavor of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. T Along with that, yesterday I recorded a video of me mixing up a […]

So first off I’d like to change my description of a Ketogenic diet. I have been referring to it as “The Nuclear Option” since it’s sort of a last-ditch final effort to lose weight. Over on a reddit thread there was a great write up about how when you force your body into ketosis, you are […]

Preparing keto food can be an expensive, tedious process, so I wrote out some tips in this article. So I’m doing ketogenic D.I.Y. soylent right now (the “nuclear option” for losing weight, as I like to call it). There’s info about ketosis in a previous post and info about how bad the “induction phase” recipe […]

So yesterday I posted about starting Ketogenic soylent, I thought I’d take a little time to explain what that is and what’s going on. DISCLAIMER: This post will contain some generalizations to simplify things, if you want to do real actual research you’ll want more specifics elsewhere. The cells in your body like glucose. A […]
