Extremely well written! Thank you for putting that together
Eating lots of meat isn’t a problem for cholesterol
There is a group of people, the LMHR (lean mass hyper responders) who do have highly elevated cholesterol on very keto/carnivore diets.
The outstanding question is if cholesterol is actually harmful in of itself - the data I’ve seen indicates that it isn’t harmful.
“They” can also just he normal people who don’t want to be wrong. Doctors are famous for their humility and self reflection.
The cholesterol heart hypothesis was pushed by ancel Keys, who has since been shown to be a dishonest academic, leaving out data, or abandoning research if the results didn’t math the preconceived conclusions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancel_Keys
In medicine, like many fields, sometimes the old guard has to retire out before change can happen.
I’m also a !carnivore@lemm.ee and I’ve satisfied myself that LDL by itself is not a risk factor I should be concerned with.
it doesn’t have to be a card. it’s up to you, but even if it is…
Going to the ATM to get cash, then spending that cash on a donation box doesn’t create a relationship with the donation box.
i could also just donate with crypto and not have the banks, the credit card system involved at all.
Look at how simple the GOS donation page is: https://grapheneos.org/donate
Send money, done.
donate.wikimedia.org as an example, requires a email address, and their policy is

they keep all of the personal info, so yes, it very much starts a relationship with them.
In order to donate with traditional systems, you have to dox yourself
I use monero, and I donate to projects in monero.
I don’t want to start a relationship with those I donate to, I want to drop money in the pot and walk away. I don’t want followup emails, I don’t want to be on a donor list, I don’t want call to action phone calls.
Every other form of transaction starts a permanent relationship. I don’t like that

There is no difference between carbs as sugar and carbs. They all end up in the blood stream as glucose.
Fructose is really bad and usually doesn’t get converted to glucose.
Fiber is not absorbed by the body and just passes through.
Carbohydrates are not essential for human life. You can be perfectly healthy without eating them. The body does use glucose for blood cells and about 15% of brain metabolism, but that can be created by the liver on a as needed basis.
There are people who differentiate carbohydrates based on how quickly they arrive in the blood stream as glucose, in my view that’s a unnecessary distinction. Elevated blood glucose is really dangerous for the body, regardless of how delayed it is. That’s why the body prioritizes burning the glucose off first when it’s elevated in the body.
What function does elevated glucose have? (I.e. why eat carbohydrates)
The sports term is carb loading, and for non-fat adapted athletes it does help their endurance, prevents bonking. But for fat adapter athletes who don’t eat carbs, it’s unnecessary as they don’t bonk. The blood only carries 5g of glucose, and when you use it all up you can bonk, the body does not store glucose at all… the body stores fat. So people who burn fat don’t bonk because they don’t run out of energy
What benefit does fiber have?
Obviously, reducing the nutrition from the food you eat is only a “good” thing if your diet is unhealthy.
The SCFA’s are interesting, you can eat fiber and have some of it turn into fat by bacteria, or you can just eat fat directly and skip the middle man. This is the whole “fiber feeds the gut” argument you hear, gut research is still early stages. Its not clear what the ideal biome is, but whatever you eat will determine what lives in the gut. The bacteria will adapt to your diet and stabilize in about 9 months.
Some people believe fiber helps with constipation because of the reduced transit time, that isn’t actually true. Fiber is actual causal of constipation (in one RCT, the only fiber RCT that exists…)
Most of my adult friends or business acquaintances, I’d just give it to them… if asked in person.
Only once, the second time we will have a discussion about what’s going on.
Haha. This isn’t evil… if you want evil ideas let’s talk about moving walls when the player isn’t looking
I’ve been playing the blue prince recently, it’s put me into a mood :)
Depends on the context of the game. If you have clues, maps, items, mechanics that would assist an adventurer then having a maze with islands would be rewarding for the invested player.
I.e. leaving footsteps in the sand, or being able to paint walls, or leave breadcrumbs, or finding a old incomplete map
no loops where you can return to a point without retracing your original path
The downside of not having little floating islands in a maze is you can solve them by always going right (or left).
Any amount of external carbs will cause the release of some amount of insulin.
They could make baked cheese crackers (so no carbs) and then their daily snacking is just fat.
This is a great opportunity to change your life for the better. You got a warning, and can use that to motivate change.
I’m a strong believer in a low carbohydrate Diet, and moderate exercise. Remove the sugars from your diet, and go for long walks. As you improve you will find more energy to do more
Find a workout buddy? A local health coach, or trainer? Join a gym? Those are ways to motivate more activity.
Join a food community, that can help you stick to a better eating pattern.
You should see a cardiologist. If you have unexplained chest pain, don’t ignore it.
What is your diet and lifestyle like?
Yeah, I was able to set it up using the openwrt interface luci. Just ignore the other stuff, experiment in luci until you dial it in
