Well, no one said skip protein, especially while lifting. Plenty of keto lifters out there, though.

If you eat a surplus and work out, even low carb, you get muscles. Is it the same result as the guys that live on boiled chicken breast and rice? IDK, but I wouldn't trade real food for an extra 2# of muscle. Ymmv.

Reply to comment by TarthenalToblakai in A new study suggests that too much screen time during infancy may lead to changes in brain activity, as well as problems with executive functioning — the ability to stay focused and control impulses, behaviors, and emotions — in elementary school. by Wagamaga

This shouldn’t be underestimated. My son has ADHD and another neurologic condition that comes with poor executive function and impulse control.

He absolutely loves screens. Even when he was a tiny baby if I put the tv on to watch some thing he would crank his head around to try to watch. I’ve always been careful about screen time because I was worried about how drawn he was to it. But the temptation to use it is always there.

Reply to comment by TheGnarWall in Analysis finds antimicrobial drug use in agriculture is much higher than reported. The use of antibiotics in animal farming — a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance — is expected to grow by 8% between 2020 and 2030 despite ongoing efforts to curtail their use. by MistWeaver80

I saw daring recently at the shop. I have not tried it yet. How similar to chicken would you say it is texture wise (if you can remember what that was like)?

I still seldom will crave chicken salad and ive not found anything very good for that imo for the specific recipe i used to enjoy.

Berries and mangoes are still loaded with simple sugars. Not as bad as candy but still not great. Complex branch chained carbs (think things like oat meal, whole wheat bread etc) are the least likely to cause blood sugar spikes and are generally the most healthy carbs you can eat.

Low carb and keto have me unable to gain muscle as easily. I also cannot recover from working out as easily, such that when I eat a large amount of carbs, fat, and protein, I can exercsie every day without feeling beat up.

If I skip the protein or carbs, it gets risky, especially by day two.

I've tried going carnivore with grassfed and whole grassfed milk, there is just something miraculous about carbohyrdates when it comes to working out, running, building muscle, or producing a pump from exercise.

I think it's best to be cyclical, so you're able to easily switch between burning carbs or fat, or fasting.

Absolutely not quite and that's a toxic way of viewing the world.

Whole foods with fiber tend to be healthy, table sugar lack nutrients, fiber, and spikes insulin + produces inflammation and has many negative effects on the body.

There is hardly an issue with consuming say, berries and mangoes.

Reply to comment by rougewitch in Analysis showed that 65.6% of women who took extra Vitamin D gave birth naturally. The study analysed results from the MAVIDOS trial which involved 965 women being randomly allocated an extra 1,000 International Units (IU) per day of vitamin D during their pregnancy or a placebo. by Wagamaga

I mean, it's still only 65.6%. Presumably people in your situation would still fall into the ~35%.

If you don’t have any hypothesis before you do the trial to statistically “test” (ie through null hypothesis testing) any significant result (regardless of multiple comparisons control) you generate is - by definition - hypothesis generating.

I don’t mean that the trial itself isn’t robust. It is. But the finding is not enough on its own to say “this is real”.
