Of course calories in, calories out. That's why I eat 3,000 calories of sand a day to gain weight.
Read a few books before ignoring what decades of science are teaching us. 1 pound per week is pretty abysmal, and what you're doing isn't sustainable. Exercising increases your appetite. You're going to gain the weight back.
Ketosis works completely independently of how much you eat. How could you possibly be happier constantly monitoring your calories, when instead you could be eating bacon-rich food at will and lose weight without trying?
A highly visible man in tech praised the writings of a mass murderer. The writings in question encouraged and led to violence against women through the viewpoint that women should pay attention to men and given men what they want all the time, along with a barrage of woman hating comments. This problem of entitlement and misogyny from societal influences is also well known, and is pervasive, in tech. Mahbod praised the writings of someone who represents problems in society that lead to violence against women. He threw in his own misogynistic comments for good measure. He's not only encouraging dangerous behavior, but adding to it. Women, both in technology and outside of it, feel a real danger because of comments like these. No amount of apologizing would have sufficed here to keep his job.
I was personally disappointed that he was allowed to resign, as that's not sending the right message, which would be "this is a real problem, we acknowledge it, and we won't tolerate behavior leading to violence of women." The firing is more appropriate. However, when you have someone like that leading a company, chances are it's already worked its way into the culture. I never had a reason to use this service before, but now I have a reason to actively avoid it.
Minesweeper left + right together mouse button action isn't implemented. Also, this version of minesweeper lets you lose on the first click. There is also no high score. For these reasons alone, I am very upset by this entire demo.
Should we listen to the government bodies and medical organizations that give us nutritional guidelines? This is a hard question to answer. I don't think anyone doubts that these bodies have good intentions and have our best interests at heart. But there is an obesity epidemic going on in America and spreading to the world, which has lead many people to question common nutritional teachings. Some people think we're just exercising less and eating more potato chips. However, those who are truly curious and go out hunting for information find evidence that contradicts the advice of these organizations.
We can see that slowly people are agreeing with the other side. They aren't doubting for no reason, evidence is coming from science and analysis of history. Really, you have to read studies. Science reporting is rarely accurate. Once you find the bad science that has lead to our current common knowledge nutrition, and how we got our current recommendations, you may doubt the advice of these organizations.
I am not saying don't trust them. They are working in the name of science for a good cause. But you have to be informed, and if your informing leads you to find doubting evidence (like it already has for me, some doctors, and many laypeople), then you can make your own decisions.
it's interesting to watch the saturated fat debunking come into mainstream media. Most people who are deep into food research (I don't like to say "nutrition" because it's such a loaded term now) reading many modern studies, books, and blog posts, already know that saturated fat is good and healthy. Both the comments here and on that article show a good deal of naysayers, and how powerful public opinion is.
These doubters seem to have the most basic "common knowledge" explanation of saturated fat: Sat.fat raises cholesterol, and cholesterol clogs your arteries, and clogged arteries lead to heart disease. If you think this chain is how your body works, you should know that it isn't nearly the entire story, and not accurate.
50% of every cell membrane in your body is saturated fat. Your body produces 75% of the cholesterol that it NEEDS to operate, the rest comes from diet. Why does your body produce cholesterol and what is its purpose? That would be a good research starting point if you are still anti sat.fat.
Of course, you shouldn't trust articles on science reporting. You shouldn't trust me. You should read studies and analyze them yourself. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you find.
