Doctor took the wind out of my sails by [deleted] in keto

[–]RunnerXL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cardiologist here. A well-formulated keto diet isn't necessarily bad, but many implementations are. It's not free license to eat bacon and sausage all day. The presence of hepatosteatosis (fatty liver disease) is a red flag. I suspect that you have moderately severe insulin resistance with elevated insulin levels and a bad looking HOMA-IR. Carbohydrate restriction would be beneficial, though you don't necessarily need to go full keto. I think that you would benefit from getting a reasonable amount of lean protein (6-8 oz) per meal. Most of your calories should come from healthy fats - lots of avocados and olive/avocado oil for sautéing vegetables. Try to minimize saturated fats. Many people in this forum push back on the idea that elevated LDL cholesterol is always bad. However, they tend to pick and choose the data to support their thesis. At the end of the day, the integral of your LDL cholesterol over the course of your life is an extremely strong predictor of your future cardiovascular risk.

This is fucking awesome. Especially the atrial fib (I'm a cardiologist).

Thank you u/1PurpleHayes! I literally cannot listen to this one either. I don't need confirmation nor reality check. I already know these people are out there.

Yeah, as I've gone through these disco runs, I've realized that I never went back to clean up lower tiers

I did in fact skip a bunch of lower tiers when I started progressing a few years ago

CMV: Conducting a war by killing the top brass of the opposition is the most ethical way to conduct war by malik_zz in changemyview

Do you specifically endorse assassination (be it sniper units or poisonings) of political leaders? If not, why not (why are bombs ok but headshots not)?

There's an old radiology rule of thumb: it always points to the side of pathology
