The Rabbit Hole

That is very good. You may wish to add coconut oil to that for saturated fat content. Use coconut oil and butter for cooking. (I use beef dripping as well.) I eat mostly veg, some fish and seafood and little meat. A slab of cow has never really appealed to me. I have been for weeks without eating meat and I never missed it.

Let me guess; you rarely, if ever, get colds and your blood pressure is the low side of normal, under 120/80. :wink:

I favor olive oil mostly.
My blood pressure is good because I do a walk/jog/run combination daily.
In the summer I’d go swimming daily and come winter everybody would get sick except me.
I rarely catch colds unless it’s a really contagious virus.
All things in good measure.

I have never considered how much protein / carbs I have consumed but I have been months at a time without eating any meat at all so I suspect I have been protein deficient on occasions. I imagine for me to maintain 30 g of protein a day will be easy to achieve, I just need to start monitoring labels for a while.
I just plan to add some meat into my diet for a couple of months to see if I get any benefit with some damaged joints.

It’s also good to add apple cider vinegar…to any diet. Work your way up to 2 or 3 tbsp per day (each in at least 8 oz water).

If you think of it as medicine, it won’t take long to get there.

OMG, there is a high class Mexican restaurant I go to. The Carne Asada is the best. Not greasy at all.

Then, the Colombia? Same there and I love the Yuca :grin: :+1:

Rule of thumb for me: everything in moderation. Avoid processed foods.

If you crave something, it is probably because you are deficient. Sometimes I crave (for instance) sardines or olives. So, I eat them and feel better for it. I never crave junk food or processed foods.

Yeah I know no crazy vegan attacks but just saying you can find evidence to pretty much support anything these days. That guy Professor Don Layman has spent 40 years researching protein metabolism and says much of the literature on the subject is just plain wrong and has done the studies to support his statement. He says as we get older we actually need more protein… who knows for sure I suppose. All we can do is listen to what they say and decide if it sounds logical.

The whole lot maybe nonsense , one thing I do think is worthwhile, is trusting your own instincts, if you feel good eating certain foods and thrive then continue, if you don’t then listen to your body. :nerd_face:

No other than his calling a spade a spade. Only heard of “Q” in J.Bond

EDIT this was supposed to be a separate post but fell due to the 3 post rule. Anyway it is sort of connected.

Meanwhile the media want us focused on royal bullshit ginger nut and his mrs. We must be getting ready for a war or a financial disaster.

It’s not about listening to anyone. It is about having your own understanding of the metabolic pathways involved. Excess proteins get turned into glucose. Excess glucose is treated like any other sugar, gets turned into fat. Insulin levels rise. An adequate and constant supply of proteins means no autophagy or mitophagy. These are facts.

What if it is sugar you crave? :confounded: Many do and satisfy those cravings. It actually means insulin resistance. High insulin creates a sugar craving. Sugar spikes insulin. And so it goes on.

That’s why it doesn’t make good sense to eat more than three meals a day. An insulin spike comes with each meal.

Better to eat only twice a day…or once a day…than to eat three meals and several “snacks” during the day.

I can easily hold to 3 meals a day with a substantial breakfast, a medium lunch and a medium dinner…with dinner coming several hours before bedtime.

I use water, black coffee and unsweetened tea to keep from feeling hungry between meals.

You would be far better off eating all your meals in say, an 8 hour window. It is the length of “fasting” that is important. If you want to eat late, then skip breakfast.

We have a habit of eating early because the kids have to get their homework done, bathed and to bed by 7:30pm. Often I miss breakfast. So lunch would be at 12 and dinner at 5pm. I don’t eat anything after that. Once or twice a week, I do a 24 hour or 30 hour fast. I rarely feel hungry although I cycle 50-100km a week, mostly racing (indoor on Zwift) or mix it with about 20k of running a week. At this time of year, it is all indoors, so I don’t have the effects of fighting the elements showing on my face. I am very toned and lean and find it impossible to put on any weight doing what I do and with my eating habits. I’m fine with that.

…and I’m betting you could easily outrun any 6’2" man! :rofl:
