@NutritionMadeS3 What screening test you recommend to calculate visceral tool other than these calculators?
English
this takes 5 minutes and anyone can do it. This method is as accurate as a DXA scan (!!!) and predicts risk of diabetes and even death from heart disease

Fat is not all created equal. Visceral Fat (in & around organs) is the more metabolically damaging kind
How can you measure your Visceral fat? MRI or CT scan are good but expensive
There is a simple test you can run at home FOR FREE that gives you a good estimate
see below🔽

In my mid-50s and just had a yearly physical—here are my labs. 🤷🏻♂️
[ also had a complete blood count and comprehensive metabolic panel but they were so completely boringly normal that I have omitted them in the sake of brevity lol ☺︎ ]

@tednaiman Dude, you can seriously do it this short and still went ahead and published a relic that I think is never going to end!! I didn't even study this hard for my med school finals. SPC 😭😭

Love you bro but the first five are completely unnecessary, making this radically over-complicated.
And the sixth one is the entire story.
I fixed it for you:
Chris S. Cornell@BiggestComeback
It’s been a while since I’ve updated my “rules”. They’ve been working pretty well for me over the past 13 months.

@MurseDarius @Pl4ntbased Without knowing the functionality of her HDL, just a HDL C value does not hold much weight.

My baseline results for my VEGAN-KETO experiment.
I will be on an animal-free ketogenic diet for approx. 3 weeks, mostly to see its impact on my LDL-C.

@tednaiman If a patient chose to eat a can of one of these everyday, do you see any potential harm?
English
You had me at small fish — doesn’t matter to me because I they’re all good!
[ Just FYI here’s one of my rants from Satiety Per Calorie 😅 ]
TR@DRTRTN
@tednaiman what would you recommend as the best canned small fish - Anchovies/ sardines/herring? Can’t do water as the fishy taste is overwhelming.

@MichaelMindrum @DrEenfeldt @DrNadolsky Michael, aren't you already recommending Fung and Westman on valley metabolic health? Have you ever interacted with Dr. Westman? You should know better. In this day and age, it is very easy to spot these things. Bikman - may be you can learn a thing or two from him.
English
@caloriesproper2 @DrEenfeldt @DrNadolsky how to choose among Fung, Tro, Berry, Saladino, Mercola, Taubes, Nina, Westman, Feldman, Bikman, Noakes, Malhotra

Nobody gets fat eating raspberries or blackberries (satiety scores 57 and 66).
Dr David Unwin@lowcarbGP
Carbs make you HUNGRY! They suppress satiety, enabling us to eat more This was adaptive to make the most of the Autumn abundance of fruit to put on fat and get through the winter. But now .., This is a hormonal thing, insulin and GLP-1 are involved Perhaps avoiding carbs boosts GLP-1 ?? @BenBikmanPhD

Anyone surprised that drugged up professional bodybuilders drop dead early?

So true, but biology, and life in general, are complex. We need to keep striving to get to the truth. It's not easily revealed, and humans are imperfect at finding real truth despite best efforts.
Surya@sunnylifer
@Lpa_Doc Now what? Low Lp(a) is also a problem? High is also a problem? Current scientific research Can’t come to a common conclusion despite billions into research. All we get is contradicting evidences.

@SBakerMD @BetterFedBeef I live vicariously through you. So, please do not make your steaks small.
English
@SBakerMD @BetterFedBeef Dr.Baker, are you under the weather
? why such a small steak?

Another fine steak from the good folks @BetterFedBeef makes for a delicious and super nutritious lunch today!

@ethanjweiss @drjasonfung jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai… - Ethan, this study must be a joke. I cannot take this seriously. Ad libutum from 12 to 8? Patients were set up for failure. Come on man!
English
@TRDNC4X @drjasonfung Well i personally did one in LC and one in IF. Obviously doing a study with the size and duration required to be powered for hard events (outcomes) is a different beast but there are lots of well done RCTs

As usual, drugs that lower LDL and raise CAD risk, like torcetrapib, evacetrapib, HRT, niacin and folic acid, or those that raise LDL and lower cardiac risk like SGLT2 are simply ignored or excluded.
Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil
The association between LDL reduction and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk reduction is sizable and confirmed by - Prospective cohort studies - Mendelian randomization - RCTs There really is no room to deny it. You can't get clearer than this:
English
@ethanjweiss @drjasonfung Ethan, if we are to genuinely put patient care ahead of all the bias and politics, all available treatment modalities that address the major causal factors must be explored with the same vigor not just the ones that benefit big pharma. Let’s forget abt LDL for 1min(not ignoring)
English
@drjasonfung @ethanjweiss Why won’t they conduct at least a couple of RCTs with LC + Fasting? No profit to be made in it I guess.
English
@ethanjweiss Hundreds of interventions? I count statins, ezetrol and pcsk9. Am I missing anything else? Not including torcetrapib and HRT and the ultra low fat NCEP step 2 diet.

@MohammedAlo This missive is full of misinformation - too much to comment on.

@ApoDudz @Pl4ntbased Austin, why would Dave want anything to do with this troll?
English
@Pl4ntbased Despite your 💭 on Dave, you should coordinate with him…design, results reporting a priori - high SFA low fiber arm, to see if you could induce phenotype, then tank SFA/cholesterol, recheck, then add fiber, recheck, sounds miserable but would be be very interesting 🍿
English
I'm thinking of doing another N=1.
I want to know what impact an animal-free, cholesterol-free, low saturated fat, *ketogenic* diet will have on my LDL-C.
My only concern is that I will not respond well to ketosis. I usually eat a low(er) carb diet, but not low enough to induce nutritional ketosis.
English
@drjasonfung @ethanjweiss Dr.Fung, don’t waste your breath on Ethan. Same old BS in new flavors and he is not even an exciting one at that.
English
@ethanjweiss I think the intent is exactly to say that ALL interventions work that way. I’ve heard this argument hundreds of times in lectures and it’s all cherry picked evidence
