    As others have said in this thread, the single most impactful thing you can do for fat loss is changing a bad diet into a good sustainable diet.

    Nobody has mentioned this yet, keto is the key. Removing all sugar and carbohydrates from your diet will make you lose weight faster than anything else you could possibly do. Every time you eat carbohydrates, you pause your body’s fat burning for about 2 to 4 hours. So if every meal you’re eating carbs, and you’re having a carb snack, you’re pausing fat burning all day, the only time you have to burn fat is when you sleep.

    This is how intermittent fasting works, that’s why people see good results, they’re not eating the carbohydrates during their fasting window, and they can burn fat.

    The good thing about low carb eating is you don’t have to calorie count at all, your bodies normal hunger signals will work properly, just eat when you are hungry and stop when you are not.

    Working out with a bad diet, will most certainly make you gain weight, especially fat. If your diet is carbohydrate heavy, heavy processed foods, heavy in sugars, when you get hungry after working out, you’re going to eat more of the bad food. Which is going to make you fatter. You need to fix the diet first

    The gym is great, it’s great for your overall health, it’s great for longevity, but it is not the key to fat loss. You can’t out exercise a bad diet

    If you can swing it, get a continuous glucose monitor, and monitor your glucose all day, keep that number as low as possible. It’s great immediate feedback for every meal. Of course you can go to the gym! Just cut the carbs





  • Using a front end like Grayjay is important. When it can abstract multiple back ends, YouTube. Tube Patreon Mastodon etc, if you are subscriptions are available on multiple platforms, then it could just source from a better platform. Helping you wean yourself off of YouTube

    And providing content creators a consistent audience, and incentive to post multiple platforms




  • Does gout come from consuming animal products? Hmm, I hadn’t heard that, before.

    Opposite actually - fructose intake, alcohol intake (same pathway as fructose in liver), advanced glycation end products (glucose intake) are the major drivers of gout.

    https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-821617-0.00004-8 Section 7.3 if you would like to know more (overwhelmingly so) - it’s available on the normal 🦜 sites.

    Basically the old connection that meat can drive uric acid a bit and uric acid is a component of gout isn’t actually helpful, during a active flare up avoiding meat can help reduce uric acid levels a tiny bit but it does nothing to address the systemic cause of the gout in the first place. i.e. Watermelons have a high water content but are not causal in drownings, but avoid eating watermelons while actively drowning… same thing

    That’s a great question. I don’t know the lifespan of ketones. But their energy delivery units, so they don’t stay in the body terribly long. They either get recycled or reused or excreted.

    I can’t imagine it would be longer than a 3-month lifespan.

    Update: ketones are completely consumed on use, there are no leftovers. So ketones have a very limited life, minutes if not hours.

    As you all know by now, on September 10th, Charlie Kirk was murdered on a college campus in Utah. While I’ve always vehemently disagreed with Kirk on 95% of issues, and while I stand by everything I said about him in this video, he didn’t deserve to die. Nobody deserves to be murdered or physically harmed because of their words and beliefs.

    When I found out he was shot, I had the misfortune of seeing the video. It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I had to stop doing homework. I couldn’t pay attention in class. It shook me to my core. It affected me a lot more than the Trump shooting, and not just because this time someone had actually died. The President of the United States will always be a target. If the President actually gets shot, it’s shocking and horrifying, but it usually means that the Secret Service just had a bad day. But when a political commentator, an internet celebrity who held no public office, is murdered in cold blood, something is deeply wrong with your country.

    My thoughts are with Charlie and his family.
