Voting is part of the dialogue, it’s reasonable to ask people why they thought something was bad for Lemmy and shouldn’t be on the site, it’s just the next step in the dialogue.

I bought a tv to use as a monitor and have been getting all the bits and bobs together to make it work well.

Being friendly!

From watching the video the ROE appears to allow for engagement for crossing the blue line onto federal property or interfering with traffic leaving the compound.

Do you ever go with your friends to dinner? Do you expect them not to eat meat in front of you?

We are here on Lemmy sharing human experiences, it’s not reasonable to ask people to censor those experiences when they’re in the range of normal acceptable experiences for most people.

Last time I checked on fairphone they weren’t doing the due diligence for basic security, and that’s why grapheneos won’t touch them

Did they get worse?

I think you should setup filters for Lemmy blocking:

Barbeque, bbq, meat, roadside

Eating meat is a standard human experience, and while some have chosen not to eat meat, the fact others do shouldn’t require censorship.

A reasonable human being can expect to see prepared food at restaurants, on people walking around while eating, on advertisements, at the grocery store, at street food vendors… And in this photo on the side of the road

Pictures of prepared food are also work safe, because a reasonable person would encounter such sights at work lunches, catering, in the kitchen, etc.

Therefore I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask Lemmy to censor pictures of prepared foods.

I’ve always wondered why eggs can be unrefrigerated in some countries and be safe to eat for weeks…

The only problem is eating enough, I frequently miss my target of 3000 kcal, but I am simply not hungry much of the time.

If your eating fatty red meat (more fat then lean), and your not hungry - I don’t think you need to hit a arbitrary calorie target.

If you have access to a body composition scale, as long as your non-fat mass is holding steady, I’m not sure there is any concerns at all.

I have noticed that my dandruff is way less, my skin doesn’t flake, I can focus better (not as good as meds but maybe 30% of the way there). I also dropped body fat a bit and gained some muscle, but I need to do that for other reasons too. Overall it is not an awful diet.

I’m also doing the zero-carb eating pattern, in addition to what you saw my shoulder injury went away (but comes back if i cheat), my tinnitus went away, and I don’t get sunburned… weird stuff

So thanks, again, especially for challenging my suggestions when it’s often risky here in internet as you’d often get negative pushback and most wouldn’t bother to subject themselves to that.

The greatest joy I’ve found on lemmy is collaborative constructive discussions where people don’t agree, but are open to other people’s ideas. Thank you for being a thoughtful person.

just a completely unrelated blood draw revealed problems with my blood glucose before it ever got to diabetes, and also revealed some (luckily minor) damage to my liver due to fatty liver.

If you haven’t heard of the TG/HDL ratio as a marker for insulin resistance, its a fascinating area of research. It’s on all lipid panels and can tell people about creeping insulin problems (i.e. CVD risk, FLD risk) - https://hackertalks.com/post/5922188

ketogenic diet is very good for the latter (fatty liver, perhaps inner fat in general I think?)

Yes, all visceral, inter organ fat, inter muscular fat - resolve quickly on a ketogenic metabolism.

I was advised to return to more normal diet but with strictly reduced carbs so as to not let the problems resurface.

I’m not aware of any dangers of staying keto full time, so I don’t think the return to a carb based metabolism is necessary (but if that is what people find more sustainable, more power to them)

And when doing any bigger diet changes, it’ll be good to have a baseline from before it, to compare against at different points of the diet.

100%

since saturated fats come with other problems themselves.

I would love to know what those problems are, from my reading of the literature the vilification of saturated fat was misattributed (i.e. the damage sugar and carbs caused got blamed on saturated fats in the lipid heart hypothesis)

new research and guidelines. To that end, I’d recommend checking out if that is indeed true, and if the new recommendations/consensus would make my point moot.

There isn’t much consensus, but the tide is turning - https://hackertalks.com/post/17259951

As far as I’m aware, fiber is a critical component of our gut health but also immune system robustness.

From my reading we don’t know much about the gut and fiber, we are just at the beginning of our understanding. So there are lots of assumptions that may not apply. For instance, and most relevant to the couple eating a animal based diet for seizures, fiber is not necessary for gut health - right now most papers assume a diversity of biotics in the gut are the most healthy… and the assumption is that fibre increases this diversity… which is true in a carbohydrate eating population. But in people only eating animal based foods we have case studies showing a very diverse gut… given the state of literature the assumption that fibre is essential hasn’t been demonstrated, especially in a ketogenic metabolism. One of the major benefits of fibre in a carbohydrate rich gut is providing BHB locally to the gut lining, which has major benefits, but in a ketogenic metabolism BHB is being generated constantly in the liver and gets all over the body including the gut (and also the brain).

I was given the rough guide of overall carbs - fibers = “final” carbs ingested. Not really sure how to translate that into English but I think it’s a common rule of thumb and you get the gist. Has that changed since?

That is still true, fibre is indigestible by the human gut, its the bacteria that break some of it down into SCAs which then get absorbed. Fibre does not spike glucose, however, it does block the absorption of other healthy food you eat in the same window… Again from my reading fiber isn’t essential, especially in a ketogenic metabolism, so avoiding fiber just means the food you eat is even more nutritious

But I’ll end on this note: Whatever I or someone say here on internet, best to double-check it all with your dietitian if doing an overseen diet, and yourself from internet if you’re doing it on your own.

Completely agreed, really good advice. Monitoring personal health metrics is also helpful, especially lipids, ketones, glucose, fasting insulin, etc…

Nutrition and health are no small things to play with. Our body is flexible and can survive a whole lot, in a lot of different situations, but there are prerequisites for it to thrive in a sustainable way. And there’s a fundamental distinction between just surviving/existing and thriving/being healthy.

I couldn’t agree more, well said.

About a week, just to see how it would feel after doing keto for a long time.

It was alright, after day 3 I didn’t think much about it, but I decided to start eating again to avoid having to do a complicated refeeding later

36 hours every week for a year? That’s intense

Were you eating a normal omnivore carbohydrate-based diet at the time? Did salt or electrolytes help with the headache?

annoys me and freaks me out that it was all psychological.

It’s not really psychological. There’s a lot of physiological processes involved. One you have to go from a sugar burning metabolism to a fat burning metabolism. That can be troublesome for people, during that transition electrolytes can get out of balance.

If you want to try fasting again, I recommend starting a ketogenic diet first, get comfortable with keto, get past the adaptation phase after 2 or 3 weeks. Increase your electrolyte consumption the entire time. Salt, potassium, magnesium. Then, try a fast and see if you feel different, make sure you continue your electrolytes supplementation.

Once you’re in ketosis, starting a fast usually isn’t much trouble for people, they don’t really notice it.

Do you use a CGM or ckm to monitor glucose and ketones? Have you noticed a pattern?

During the 7 day fast did seizures still happen at the 1/day rate?

I’m really happy to read how your doing the same intervention with your partner, that’s great and very thoughtful

Keto fats can come from saturated fats, I strongly recommend against using industrial seed oils as a fat substitute as they increase overall body inflammation
