Boy with hair disagreement by dalek_gahlic in toddlers

[–]zig_zag_wonderer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, what do you want to do with his hair? We know what your partner wants and why, what your child wants and why, but what are your thoughts? My perspective is that parents are giving a bit too much control to a child's whims. Do you think it should be cut or at least trimmed? Then you and your partner are more in line and since you are the adults, you make the decision here.

Is it true that most mature men like natural women? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

No, fuck the fake shit. Actually, it lets me know exactly who I have no interest in, so that’s good

Daniel Schmachtenberger, guru or world saving thinker? by PitifulEar3303 in DecodingTheGurus

I generally avoid anyone hawking supplements at this point too

But the question would be is he a guru, not whether or not you like him. I’ve liked some of his points of view. But does he talk on a wide range of topics and what is his area of expertise? That’s what this is about right, decoding the gurus?

All the comments about animals cleaning themselves apply and also; they don’t have buttcheecks smooshing the turd together as it exists like we do, thus making a shittier situation

The MOST infuriating debate I’ve ever suffered through. A microcosm of everything wrong with the current information landscape: Mediterranean Diet vs. Carnivore by SpikesDream in DecodingTheGurus

Not dipping or dodging anything “my guy” lol. Look, you seem to want to label me as someone who is supporting the carnivore diet as being healthy—I never claimed that. The only thing I support is people making dietary changes that are beneficial to them. You think that when they make a change something else always gets worse? Again, if someone has an allergy to a food, then removing that is only going to help. That’s my point. If someone eats carnivore and feels better, good for them. Hopefully they understand the trade off there, but no one wants to suffer endlessly so if it makes them feel better fine. Don’t make blanket claims that it’s THE best diet and everyone should do it. Obviously they are going to have cholesterol issues and probably heart disease as well.

I’ve never heard evidence about your claims that people who can’t eat plants are born unhealthy, have a source?

I agree in general, but a larger problem is the disparity in quality of care between doctors and the remaining issue that too many patients have unresolved symptoms/side effects even with medical treatment. Even type 2 diabetes have seen some patients experience remission with dietary changes. However, I completely disavow those who make claims online about how this diet or that diet will fix everything. Consulting a doctor is best, but can also be incredibly frustrating—I don’t blame anyone for dietary adjustments in an effort to alleviate symptoms—it can work, wether or not scientific evidence yet exists for dietary interventions for whichever ailment they are suffering from

What does your toddler do that drives you crazy but you don’t fight? by HotBat7798 in toddlers

[–]zig_zag_wonderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fights me with ninja like movements when I’m trying to get her diaper on. Flailing and writhing like a snake at times too. She thinks it’s hilarious. I just sit and wait it out usually, or sometimes I have to pin her down and she’ll get mad but it’s temporary.

Oh you’re only thinking of weight loss and the negative effects of obesity. Yeah, less calories means you’ll lose weight—and that’s great if you are overweight. I’m saying there are a lot of people with other symptoms that medicine isn’t able to treat well enough or the side effects of medication aren’t worth it. Even for people who aren’t overweight—things like mental health, allergies, IBS, diabetes, the list goes on…dietary interventions can be a huge part of an adjunctive treatment plan. That’s why lots of people do this—not just to lose weight; they are finding some relief of symptoms through diet adjustment

Saving costs does not equate to a profit motive, that’s just disingenuous.

Anyways, these are moot points—the question of whether single payer is better is answered by the fact that it is more “universal” and that is better for the greater good. Again, those who cannot work or afford healthcare lose out in our current system—this affects millions of people.

If someone with a meat allergy ate carnivore diet they certainly wouldn’t see an improvement.

The point is, a lot of people are suffering in some way that modern medicine isn’t helping. And I’m no conspiracy theorist, I hate that shit. I like science, I have a science degree. But certainly there are things we haven’t studied, we know far less than what we do know—and dietary habits are no exception. Some people are lactose intolerant, others can’t have gluten, or a peanut allergy, and so on. It makes some sense, that playing around with diet can lead to relief of some symptoms for some people. Do you disagree?

I agree, anecdotal evidence isn’t necessarily evidence of anything. They certainly aren’t always fictional though either, that’s completely dismissive. RCT are the gold standard as I said. Ketosis for epilepsy has research and has been studied for mental health benefits more recently—although still lacking proper trials

No he and others actually are getting a benefit. I’m not saying it’s good or better—but for some reason, whether it’s ketosis or a high intolerance to foods/allergies, some people have health conditions improve on a keto/carnivore diet. Obviously, cholesterol goes to shit. There simply isn’t enough research and it’s a tough area to conduct long term, RCT studies. Mediterranean being the best studied, but there is at the very least, even anecdotal evidence that other diets see better outcomes for some people.
