    Calling the carnivores among us

    That is why you eat your vegetables cooked. Once you heat the vegetables the bioavailability dramatically increases. If you are so fragile that a salad or handful of nuts causes side effects we have bigger issues. Like I said, the greatest marker of health is being about to eat the most...

    What is it with the Taylor swift obsession?

    Whether or not she is your type you have to be in awe of the cultural impact she has had on the media, the NFL and music. It phucking insane and I had no idea. I was not all that familiar with her till she started dating Travis Kelce. I follow the Chiefs and it is pretty amazing to see the...

    Calling the carnivores among us

    Congrats on losing 50 pounds. Hard to over eat on one meal a day. At the end of the day, whether you believe in "calories in/calories out" or not, if you eat less and move more you the scale needle will move in the right direction.

    Calling the carnivores among us

    Humans are opportunist omnivores. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21745624/ That is why you see healthy people in the arctic circle, Innuits, eating a diet almost exclusively of whale and seal fat & whale and seal meat. Down to the Maasai in Africa eating a diet of meat, blood, milk, honey...

    Calling the carnivores among us

    I have only kinda heard that argument from the IG carnivore dogma crowd. Same crowd that is afraid of vegetables, ie Paul Saladino. For clarity, I have been proponent of a high protein diet, from ruminants and pigs, since I stumbled upon Mauro Di Pasquale and Vince Gironda in the mid 90s when...

    Calling the carnivores among us

    The "Flu" you are describing is from an imbalance of electrolytes. You have to supplement with salt. Robb Wolf wrote a ton on this. https://science.drinklmnt.com/low-carb/keto-flu-causes-and-remedies/ Type 2 Diabetes is a disease of carbohydrates so removing them for the equation helps fix...

    Keto Weight Loss Plateau

    Yes. I know this sounds crazy but I have done full blood work twice a year since I was 25 with the same research scientist - I am 45 now. My version of the "keto diet" is high protein so it is not in line with what people considered a clinical/typical ketogenic diet by in the early 2000s. But...

    Keto Weight Loss Plateau

    Keto flu comes from lack of electrolytes. You have to supplement with salt, 5-8 grams a day. Robb Wolf has a nice write up about it. https://robbwolf.com/2019/06/05/the-keto-flu-symptoms-remedies-and-how-to-avoid-it/

    Keto Weight Loss Plateau

    Just a heads up, the keto urine strips are terribly inaccurate. If you looking for some novel high five, they are OK. You can just go with the taste in your mouth - like sucking on pennies. You have to test blood for an accurate measure of ketones. My son is T1D so I have tested all this stuff...

    PISTOL BRACE

    I feel more confused after reading all this. But what it sounds like is free SBRs for 120 days....but when has the GOV ever given tax payers something for free? But what sux dix & cox is can't travel out of state with my shorty AR truck pistol anymore since it would become an SBR. So now I...

    Got our pool in 2018, and we had 30 days over 100 in July and August. Pool got over 100 degrees. I went down and bought these massive sun shade cloth panels from Costco, lashed them together with 2" DOM driven into the ground and covered it to make it usable. Long and hot is my prediction.

    This year is going to be hot. The last 2 years the summers were on the cooler side but from the looks this one is going to be the real deal. All the Californian transplants I have met have told me, "The Texas heat isn't that bad."

    The Hamilton Pool corridor was really amazing till they decided to build thousands of homes and cut this place up like Southern California. But you can’t stop progress. I think you made a mistake seeing this place from a car window at 70 MPH but if I was coming to this part of Texas in 2022, I...

    Not sold on All Good BBQ. If you want ribs Terry Blacks & Valentina’s have great beef ribs. And they didn’t build the roads to accommodate this growth. The traffic on HPR from all these developments is awful. I smoked a set of rear tires in less than 20k pulling out on HPR. And I saw that new...
