People don't go out at 3am to find a steak, but they do that for sugar.
This really bears repeating. It's impossible to binge eat a steak, but once I start on a pack of Oreos I'll eat the entire thing.
Could you further elaborate on what you find outrageous about this community?
Dr. Paul Mason - 'Blood tests on a ketogenic diet - what your cholesterol results mean'
This video discusses cholesterol, its implications on health, and how to interpret cholesterol blood tests, especially in the context of a ketogenic diet.
<details><summary>Summary</summary>
- Dr. Paul Mason discusses cholesterol, its types, and how to interpret cholesterol blood tests, emphasizing that high LDL levels aren't always a cause for concern.
- Cholesterol is often misrepresented; it refers to various lipoproteins that transport fat in the blood, not just the fat itself.
- LDL is not inherently bad; it can become harmful when damaged by sugar through processes like glycation and oxidation.
- The presence of small dense LDL particles is associated with increased heart disease risk, primarily due to their damage from high glucose levels.
- Accurate cholesterol testing can be complicated, as standard tests may not measure all lipoproteins directly, leading to estimations that can affect results.
- Triglyceride levels and HDL levels can provide insights into whether an in

no take only throw
My four year old low-end test device running Android had its assistant switched out from Google Assistant to Gemini. I was very surprised since I'd assumed that the vendor had stopped supporting it since it was so cheap, but it updated anyway.
Why are you being downvoted for this? In stock devices the user has no way to even start looking at what is being run. All you can do is trust the manufacturer.
They are TOO good
I love to bake and I love baked goods. Thankfully, I'm not highly food motivated, but I cannot walk past a croissant and not want one. Even thinking about one now gives me a familiar pang, but I can recognize that for what it is now.
I've not measured my sauna endurance, and did not realize that being in good metabolic health would improve that. I'll see how long I last next time I'm in a sauna!
Thank you for sharing, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that feels like this sometimes. I have a breath ketone meter that helps keep me on track; I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it's very consistent. If you haven't tried one maybe give it a go, mine wasn't too expensive. I used to wear a continuous glucose monitor, but that's more expensive and a lot more work.
Like a degenerate I kept putting food into my delivery app, looking at it, looking at different options
This is an oddly specific shared experience but I know how this feels too. It's sad that our gig economy tech is enabling our compulsions for food that has been deliberately engineered to make us want more of it at all times.
Some cheese on top of that and you have a feast.
I've failed at getting into any Battle Royale, Survival, or Extraction type game so far.
That's because in many cases it often doesn't and can even lead to a worse life depending on your priorities.
As part of the industrialized lifestyles, could it be the consumption of industrialized foods? Our bodies likely cannot deal with the externalities of industrial farming. Ultraprocessed foods such as industrially refined oils are entirely novel.
It doesn't seem like such a stretch that human bodies then respond with inflammation to try to remove the unfamiliar, to me.

Historical context on the low-fat, high-carb diet:
Having said that, reading these books are a large part of why I've come to eat a ketogenic diet that's mostly meat and vegetables.
Not sure why you're being downvoted for providing good advice about avoiding media bias.
That's not a great place for a compressor, direct exposure to the weather means they are unable to exchange heat as efficiently. Why'd they put it up there?
Everyone who lives here plays video games all day and our healthcare isn't even completely free, the burden is just shared by nationalization. Video games are such a menace to society!
Can't pick just one so here're a couple.
"Crypto" used in the context of cryptocurrrencies. "AI", referring only to LLMs. "Research", referring to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase "do your own research" that's being bandied around in some communities.
If you live in an authoritarian system, it's not just the government you're worried about.
