Using my Samsung watch and grok to count calories has proven to be as accurate as you can reasonably expect. Tracking for 1 month got me a deficit of about 12k calories while my balance showed about 1.2 kg of weight lose.

Hunter gatherers have a fasted blood sugar of 70 to 85 mg/dl so that's probably the optimal range. 50 to 70 is normal for someone fasting or in a real keto diet. Some people even go through their daily life at 30 mg/dl. The issue is that ketoacidosis can be fatal, you're not supposed to feel...

Wtf I have the same issue. Female dentist says I have 2 or 3 cavity saw 2 males no mention of cavities.

I had hep A a couple of years ago. Every single acute digestive track disease I've had felt pale in comparison. It does some very weird shit, and the disease just doesn't exist in the developped world, I had brought it back from Vietnam with a like 3 weeks incubation, so the doctors didn’t...

You're 40+, your body is giving you a hard time, and the first thing you do isn't cooking all your meals from wholefood isn't a rationnal behaviour. That's even the very base of modern medecine, "may your food be your first medecine" , that remain true to this day for most chronic issues...

That’s the nuclear option. I think the work of Prof. Tim Spector offers a few alternatives to try from to restore the proper gut biome, before trying that. I have UC . It took me 5 years of trials and error, but now it’s pretty much fixed. The diet that Spector didn’t work for me, but his work...

Insane that the gut/food angle is not more used against chronic inflammation / auto-immune problem.

That’s one thing that surprised me in Asia, most diabetics aren’t obese or even overweight, and they seemingly eat healthy. By seemingly I mean I suspect the rice is fucking them up and their genetics prevent them from seeing it, like white people would gain wait. You can eat 'healthy’ and...

People were not the same. Well, I guess this one was a bit of an outlier even back then. I like how he carried an unconscious guy while swimming with one arm out of a plane crash.

Wouldn’t inflammation in general increase afib? So getting help from Grok or whatever to keep carbs intake below 100 g a day help, possibly moderatly quickly. Also intermittent fasting, many studies show a benefit while none find a risks. Worth trying maybe if you haven't yet.

Walking is okay, even if you're a super whale. Can make a few kg of muscles if you're on calories deficit, high protein and walking decently. It's a good place to start, and if you have 100 pounds to wait, you don't have to wait 6 months to start. And if you just want to be healthy and live...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876034123001478 In this study they look at how much antibiotics people took between 2002 and 2006 and then looks at cancer from 2007 to 2019. The more antibiotics the more cancer. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10953323/ This one...

Well there are multiple studies on cancer and they put a variable 'lifetime consumption of antibiotics’ ans it increases your risk significantly, and not just 'last few years consumption'. It’s not as insane as it sounds if cancer can take a decade to be detected and if damages from...

Many studies show "permanent" damage to the immune system caused by antibiotics, as increased risk of cancer even from dose of antibiotics took 20 years earlier. My guess is that the damage isn't that permanent, it's just that antibiotics combined with absolute garbage which is the western diet...

Great christmas upgrade upgrade until it’s LAN time and you need a wheelbarrow....
