@kevtharris @matthewbaszucki You can. But it would be much harder than with a low carb diet. High insulin keeps the body in energy-storage mode, that's what makes it so hard to lose weight, but definitely not impossible. A caloric deficit is a caloric deficit no matter the diet.

@C0l3c @matthewbaszucki So if someone had T2DM. We couldn't get that person to lose weight with a high percentage carb diet?

"Exercise is the key to weight loss." LOL how often have y'all heard this one?? Exercise is incredible. I swim. I lift. I wouldn't give it up for anything. But the research on exercise as a weight loss intervention is, to put it charitably, unimpressive. The reason is straightforward. The body is adaptive. It compensates for increased caloric expenditure through exercise by increasing hunger, reducing non-exercise movement, and adjusting metabolic rate. You can run five miles and end up with a net caloric change that is, after all the compensation, close to zero. Weight loss is a hormonal problem. Specifically, it's an insulin problem. You cannot out-exercise a diet that chronically elevates your insulin and keeps your body locked in fat-storage mode. Fix the diet. Then exercise for EVERY OTHER REASON, because there are many good ones!!

@AmmousMD Taking a statin with "normal" LDL is already insane, but taking it in a combination with ezetimibe? That's beyond insanity.

The medical system selects for students who memorize well, follow commands, and don’t question the status quo.

@kevtharris @matthewbaszucki No dumbass, he's saying you can't lose weight with a high fasting insulin

@matthewbaszucki Are you saying you cant lose weight with a high carb diet?

@melow33000 @ElieJarrougeMD @grok Could this be due to adaptive glucose sparring?

@ElieJarrougeMD My a1c varies between 5.7 - 6.2. My fasting insulin ranges from 1 - 3. Highest a1c was during my carnivore experiment. My endocrinologist said he cant figure me out.

Most doctors check fasting glucose. It’s the wrong test. By the time glucose rises, insulin has been elevated for years. Ask for a fasting insulin. Optimal is below 5. That number predicts your metabolic future. 🧵

This is all because @SamaHoole randomly appeared on my feed before I started the diet. Thanks Sama.

After 9 weeks on keto/carnivore: -Triglycerides down by 70% -HDL up by 50% -hbA1c from prediabetic range to 4.7% -reactive hypoglycemia gone -anxiety improved a lot -gut issues gone -energy is stable, no more daytime drowsiness -seborrheic dermatitis gone -gum inflammation gone

Weight loss stories and before and after pictures have no meaning anymore since GLP-1 drugs started being massively used for appetite reduction.

@mainstrm_critic @drmarkhyman That's why the lab's "normal range" is below 25, because they can't sell pills for high insulin. According to the lab, a fasting insulin of 20 is normal, but it's actually terrible.

@drmarkhyman I’ll venture to bet that most Americans have abnormal fasting insulin

Why does your doctor check your cholesterol but not your insulin levels?

@AmmousMD I'm a person who is not a slave to the pharmaceutical industry. All my other markers are good, my LDL is "elevated". I will never take a statin.

I'm a physician. I don't know what my LDL is, and I will never take a statin.

@MadPaki @FoxNews No dumbass, the 1 or 2 number is if they didn't proceed with the rescue mission.

@FoxNews So they lost 1 or 2 in the rescue mission

BREAKING: "I ordered the U.S. Armed Forces to do whatever was necessary to bring our brave warriors back home. A risky decision, because we could have ended up with 100 dead as opposed to 1 or 2. It's a hard decision to make, but in the United States military, we leave no American behind. We don't do it." - President Trump

@elliotgreenIP @message2garcia @AjRockatansky The question is whether LDL is bad when HDL is high, TG, insulin and inflammation is low. Not when LDL is high but every other marker is abnormal as well.

@message2garcia @AjRockatansky So the position is like some form of scientific religion isn't it? Except the evidence from the studies *suggests* an association of LDL with atherosclerosis rather than causation.

Every statin pushing doctor I ever came across has blocked me. I welcome debate. Good stuff. Imagine living their lives. What a shitshow.

@iandcosmos @ifixhearts @grok is there any data supporting this?

@ifixhearts What is the data supporting this?

Insulin resistance is a much bigger risk factor for heart disease than LDL cholesterol.

@BillLawren32433 @ifixhearts More insulin resistance = more fasting insulin because more is needed to regulate blood sugar. What's so hard to understand?

@ifixhearts But the blood level of insulin has no practical use other than what is already being done to help Insulin resistance. Normal does not mean no resistance

When they can't prove you wrong, they block you. Modern doctors are trash who only know how to prescribe meds.

@stevepcshotmai1 @AndrewZywiecMD You don't need to lower your LDL as long as you have low insulin. @grok show me that study that claims older people with higher LDL live longer.

@AndrewZywiecMD 56yo male. Lowered my LDL by 20% in 12 weeks with psyllium husk. Also, cut dairy and lower saturated fat. 1.5 hr daily exercise. Sleep 7-8 hrs. CT calcium 0. My doc still wanted me on static even with side effects. Got a new doc and she said no. Also started nattokinase.

I hope the public was paying attention today, watching thousands of "doctors" post about how they take statins. No symptoms, no signs, no pathology, just because. A bunch of young, healthy, "educated" individuals with medical degrees, shamelessly promoting pharma. Whores. Doctor's are men who prescribe drugs, of which they know little, for illnesses, of which they know less, to humans, of whom they know nothing.

@tdbfoolie @Gat3WayDre @MarcScottEmery @grok It's per capita you fucking n*gger

@C0l3c @Gat3WayDre @MarcScottEmery @grok You guys are 60% of the population fuckin dumbass………

Can you imagine 5 White people sitting still & passive on a train while a homicidal Black savage kills a White woman with a knife? I can’t. They aren’t like us, we aren’t like them.

@colarmacy @Gat3WayDre @MarcScottEmery @grok Fuck off n*gger

@C0l3c @Gat3WayDre @MarcScottEmery @grok "victim reports," lol

@MohammedAlo Only retarded doctors think increased LDL is bad while TG, insulin and inflammation are low and HDL is high. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

Harvard longevity physician has been in a statin since age 30. So have I. The data 30 years later is even more convincing! Want to live longer? Get your LDL-C too very low levels. #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter

@robt_heartdoc @thoughts50705 @MohammedAlo TIL most doctors are retarded. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

@thoughts50705 @MohammedAlo Absolutely not. I focus on LDL reduction for proven mortality benefit, not TG/HDL ratios. Don't confuse metabolic markers with therapeutic targets.
