I became diabetic on a low carb diet and reversed it on a fairly high carb lower energy diet without much hunger - certainly less than I had on LC. I know the satiety thing is big for many people on keto, and probably not all psychological, but it's not the only diet with that feature. I'm not arguing that keto is ineffective, only that the reasons given for its effectiveness are wrong.

Roxana presents a classic false dichotomy.
You can choose health and you can still have carbs.
A keto diet is like amputating your arm because you cracked a nail.

@BornFree_isms @ScottAppliedSci Not sure where you got that information. Doesn't match with CGM data for the Type 1s that I know.
English
@ScottAppliedSci If you eat a high carb low calorie diet, you will still have high blood sugar and you will be very hungry. Low carb you can reverse diabetes and be satisfied.

There is only CICO. Low carb and other 'nuisance diets' just go about it differently, while many people believe in some specific metabolic effects. That's why WFPB works, too. Keto has a support structure, a community, a new identity to put on, strong (but false) science stories to motivate etc.
English
@ScottAppliedSci I completely disagree, as someone who has taught the DPP program. Almost everyone is unsuccessful with CICO
English
@offofthecouch No need to cut carbs to keto levels to fix diabetes. You can cut back a bit in the beginning if you're spiking badly after meals but in the longterm there is little point for most people. CI<CO solves diabetes pretty quickly for most people.

@ashwinwalke @ScottAppliedSci It is definitely better for sugar control.
English
@ScottAppliedSci What about T2DM patients? Low carb approach seems better for sugar control.

A new study found that people with higher cardiorespiratory fitness had a 29-39% lower risk of developing future depression, all-cause dementia, and other neuropsychiatric diseases vs. those with low fitness.
I wrote about it for today's newsletter.

Most people don't need more protein to build muscle.
They need to train more.
Protein isn’t the main driver of adaptation, training is. Muscle growth, strength, and metabolic health are primarily stimulated by mechanical tension and progressive overload, not just a higher protein intake.
Protein’s role is supportive. It helps repair and build after you’ve given your body a reason to adapt. But without a meaningful training stimulus, more protein doesn’t translate into better outcomes (e.g., more strength, greater lean mass).

Good heuristic for whether a fitness or athletic pursuit is worthwhile:
Would you still do it if you couldn’t tell anyone about it?

@DrFrankLipman The Bredesen protocol has many effective strategies. The tau proteins do not appear to cause the symptoms of Alzheimer's, and Keppra has some unpleasant side effects, like rage. Worth testing but I wouldn't put my money on it.
English
Levetiracetam (Keppra), a seizure drug may stop Alzheimer’s before it starts. Unlike treatments that focus on removing plaques that have already formed, it blocks the production of toxic amyloid beta peptides in the first place.
