Comforting to know that I'm not the only one doing it. That is, the only one that is sane* doing it. *reasonably sane

Meat, eggs are not dangerous. Ignore this outdated, outproven science. Just use logic, what did we eat when we were hunters and gatherers? Hunting around in the forest.

Thought I'd initiate a place for discussions about the diet LCHF: Low Carb, High Fat. This is a diet that is exactly as the name suggest: Decrease the amount of carbohydrates consumed (Especially sugar, and slower carbohydrates, such as those found in for example Pasta, Potatoes, Bread) Increase the intake of saturated fats. (Natural fats, eggs, meat, avocados, cheese.) An exceptional resource for more information about LCHF: www.dietdoctor.com This is a website free of any financial recieving from any company or government. I've personally been eating this diet LCHF, for about 2 years. (With a non-strict approach, meaning I deviate as I see fit, sometimes I go crazy and eat whatever I want. ^^) I've most definitely felt a benefit in doing this. For example: no desire to buy candy when in store (this blew my mind the first month), feelings of better health and being overall in a more calm setting etc. If you know anything about blood sugar and insulin, this makes sense. (If you are interested in information concerning diabetes, you should learn the basics of LCHF) There is much more to this diet, so feel free share your thoughts, and send out questions. Note: I do not consider myself an expert on this topic. Do you have any experience with LCHF, or similar diet?

I'm gonna be the boring one: It's very different from person to person. Try to understand how he would deal with it in a way he appreciates.

@ttm Best scientific evidence is in garlic as a vampire repellant! So annoying with these vamps attempting to get in ur house and suck ur blood. Thank god for garlic yo

@ZenMonkey But if you don't want to keep engagement in the conversation it's fine. I would just have been happier if you didn't accuse me of using logical fallacies. Peace bro

@ZenMonkey If you're referring to the part Dhana Choko edited, I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings. I just felt upset of you misquoting several times, while accusing me of using logical fallacies without even saying when I did it.

@ZenMonkey Now I'm not following. Call you which things?

I didn't say it is true. I said there is no incentive for misinformation, since there is no donating corporation or government. There is an incentive to give the current scientific truth about what is healthy to eat. If it turns out that veganism was to be shown in independent, high quality studies, dietdoctor would be the first one to update its recommendations. It is not about a certain diet, it is about what is the scientifically supported healthy thing to eat. If you have a membership, you're interested in being accountable for the best science that is around, you want your members to know that you are interested in their health, always looking out for the best information around, and not invested in some dogmatic feel-good diet. It's not websites that are right, as I already said. It is the independent, high quality scientific studies that is of weight. There definitely is such a thing as independent, high quality studies. Studies that aren't "onesided". It's not the amount of studies that matters, it is the quality. Just because I am too stupid to interpret long academic studies, DOES NOT mean that there is not independent, high quality objective studies which reveal the reality of the situation. One example of this is the fact that there has NEVER been a study proving any danger to eating cholesterol. It doesn't matter if you cherry pick all you want. You got to realise that while some studies indeed are sponsored with an underlying agenda, both from the grain and sugar industry, as well as the meat and dairy industry, some studies are independent. It doesn't matter if you or me understand studies, it still exists such a phenomena as independent high quality studies which shows an accurate picture of reality. As explained, the website is concerned with up-to-date scientifically supported data. It's not us versus them. It's not "www.lchf.com" vs "www.vegan.com". www.dietdoctor.com is about actual health, not a diet. The current scientific supported truth is showcased, not a certain diet. They definitely would update their recommendations, if there is scientific support. That is what is called accountability. But that doesn't take away that it is this magazine that initiated the war on fat, and now updated its position. Enlighten me. Which argument are you referring to? Also, where did I commit a logical fallacy? Factually incorrect. I wanted Phocus to respond with a single example in his accusation of me being guilty of using logical fallacies. Not reply to every point. I find it fascinating that you should quote without actually grasping what the text states. No, the image shows what happened after the they said don't eat fat. Again, correlation does not imply causation. But it is, in my opinion, pretty crystal clear. There is both of those there, in science and stories. Look again. You're right. It is ultimately a belief, just like it is a belief to believe in god, that the earth is flat based on bad evidence: the bible. And it's also a belief when you're basing your opinion on the newest science, stating that the earth is indeed not flat. Well, high five to that brother. It's good that we both avoid direct intake sugar. Perhaps you should eventually consider avoiding carbs too, since they become sugar in your body.

@ZenMonkey You are standing in truth in one way, all of us will always have a bias, it is something inevitable since we are indeed humans. I feel I resonate with dietdoctor.com because it does not accept donations from any corporation or government. There is no other incentive than presenting a fair and balanced perspective to its members. It's free of narrative from external sources whose concern is for profits, and not real health for people. In short: lobbyists and special interest groups can go fuck themselves. And ultimately, it's not the site itself that holds scientific weight, it is independent high quality studies that is linked to. Also, you seemed to have missed the highlight from TIME magazine, so here you go again. The very magazine that initiated the war on fat has now updated itself: In addition to the updated science, I just used simple logic. While observational data cannot prove causation, this graph is very curious. When the mistake of recommending avoidance for fat was introduced. I would need more research to comment about the intestinal length in humans, but it seems @Draconis Chaser has done a bit of study in regards to this. Here is his take on this. This part of your post makes zero sense. This was a response to Phocus, regarding his accusation of me committing logical fallacies. Why are you quoting this? If you want to talk about anecdotal evidence, real life success stories from people, more and more people keep coming forward to share their personal positive results from lchf. It is almost overwhelming.

@Draconis Chaser A note to that, the body is perfectly capable of producing glucose for the brain through protein in the liver; there's no need to eat carbohydrates for that.

I like garlic! I think it's healthy.

@AHappyTeddyBear Dude chillout i agree with you that it's a sport, im just saying that i might be too weak to handle it as it can easily become addiction for me

@AHappyTeddyBear meant it like a heroin addict that shoots up with someone : P

@AHappyTeddyBear i dont wanna shoot up with u ty 3k single

I really can't care less about what your judgements are. You didn't take what I said seriously and yet this is your response? Wtf are you on @FindingPeace ?

@Phocus Am inclined to agree. At least, if you have a personality where you want to reck everyone, to lose yourself in one activity. To have high demands of the standard you want to achieve in anything you do. I WANT TO WIN OMG?! lol bro get on my level. Or just the physical addiction. After a drug addiction, some people need to never do it again. And some could manage to establish a balance, just doing a certain thing sometimes while avoiding to make it something dysfunctional.

Oh, excuse me sir, it seems I walked into your spit, I'm terribly sorry for that. Will not happen again.. Jk id just pull up ma gun and threaten a mf;; STRONGEST EGO WIN lol get rekt. @Ayla i can still rage and write like lil kid without caps by the way u noob lol too easy to get around ur demands too ez lol wtf bro and ik u love being called mah bro so ur my bro forever now, ilu bro

@Saitama +1 I think it does indeed take time to build an audience, so if you're serious about this Arnie, consider everything in the light of reasonability, as so you don't get ambushed by overwhelming problems through unnecessary miscalculations.

@Ayla AYLA WTF ARE U TALKING ABOUT OMG LOL WAT SHUT THE FU... Hihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii no. Have a great day peeps <3

@FindingPeace I was just kidding my friend

The continuation of good health, and the enjoyment of eating these. I rely on science, which if done correctly, attempts to be free from emotional desires of what should be true, and dogma. A methodology that is under constant change, always updating itself, in aspiration to reach the highest understanding currently possible. Rather interesting that you're attempting to use the ego card in a discussion. Insinuating that I've made an identity around eating these things. Well, two can play that game. Dhana, what would you lose if you did not eat grains, vegetables and fruits? What part of your identity would be threatened if you did not eat these things?

Phocus, buddy. I don't think we're getting further here. You haven't tried to show anything, just accused the other participant of trolling and using logical fallacies while refusing to actually address anything I've said, or considered the up-to-date science provided. It's right here, documented in black and white, for everyone to read.

Used to be playing wow like a fucking stupid person. (Referring to me now and not others) I'm currently battling putting of the games of DotA, which is a game of one hour matches, each starting on scratch for everyone, with the goal of destroying the enemy bases when you are strong enough. I fucking hate that it's so fun. I've been questioning if I really just need to put it off completely, if I am one of those people that can't handle doing the drug just once in a while, to only fall back into heavy addiction. I don't know. But I do know that, whatever you put energy to, gets more strength, gets more gravitation and becomes easier to do. Changes your homeostasis. I'm trying to put my energy into musical composition instead, as I think it will be a giver of so much more authentic happiness, to having constructed your lifework instead of played videogames. But it's not frikkin easy in everyday life man. Just one game ... just one game. ok. ah fuck i got a bad start, i wanted one game of a good game, so one more nice, a good game ... well, i just want to play one more, just one more fuck , i have to try that new combination i thought of. last one now fuck it i played the evening away... too late to do anything, now... lets play till i go to sleep FUCK MAN.

It should be possible to see what the changes are in an edited post.
