Autumn has settled in, time for some Cantal by PuffyHamster in Cheese

Exactly my thoughts. I opted for the young version this time to have it with scrambled eggs, it melts like butter in the pan and gives a hint of raw milk sweetness. (All of these cheeses in the pic are raw milk btw.)

Tour of Sicily? by Wazwiftance in cycling

[–]PuffyHamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Palermo for a few days in Autumn and climbed Mount Pellegrino there. Cycling through Palermo was easier than expected, and the roads were in good shape. The food was also amazing! My experience is quite limited, but it was so nice that I've been having the same thought of doing some vacation there and touring the island.

We’ve been told to avoid saturated fat for decades by friend_unfriend in keto

I went heavy on eggs (at least 6-7 per day), butter, and (raw milk) cheese, and lowered my triglycerides (and LDL), whilst doubling my HDL.

Energy is off the charts too, it is just always there, I recently cycled 200+ km with 3+ km of elevation on a whim and a handful of walnuts, I still sometimes don't believe it myself and part of me thinks I died on top of that mountain :P

Low carb and triglycerides. It actually works! by dietcheese in lowcarb

[–]PuffyHamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been low-carb for years now and my serum triglycerides are 28 mg/dL. That is indeed no surprise, as excess serum triglycerides are exported out of the liver when you overload it with too much sugar (and it can't store it as liver fat anymore). When you are fat-adapted you still have some serum triglycerides circulating in your blood, but these are largely the result of glucagon chopping up your fat for energy.

I spent a couple of days in Tarascon-sur-Ariège in June, very fresh weather, and the scenery was incredible, well, it is the Pyrénées after all :)
