1/ My thoughts on #Satiety & @DietDoctor 🧵
If you've followed me a while, you know I try to avoid the "diet debates" (tho not always successfully)
However, I have been getting a high frequency of DMs/messages/calls regarding DD's new endeavor for a #lowcarb alternative

2/ Let me first start off by saying I don't think any diet is inherently superior to all others.
I *do* think the #lowcarb diet is under-utilized for populations that can uniquely benefit from it.
However, I also believe most of us have many more options than is often assumed.

3/ Moreover, I consider @DietDoctor's long history of providing a "one stop shop" platform for all things #lowcarb/#keto with high quality guides, videos, and tools to be without equal.
It made it extremely easy to refer everyone in DD's direction, particularly beginners.

1/ Yes, my answer to the poll by @nicknorwitz was "Gain 4% body fat". And honestly, it was a pretty easy one when compared to the others.
But to be fair, I also have quite a bit of direct data on this in particular... let's unpack...

2/ First, if you didn't already know this about me, in 2018 I literally gained almost 20lbs of fat for the Weight Gain Experiment. cholesterolcode.com/weight-gain-ex…
(As an aside, I realize now I did presentations on the findings for this experiment, but didn't do a write up. Bad Dave!)

3/ But spoiler alert -- my total and LDL cholesterol did indeed go down where having gained weight and back up where having lost it.
To be sure, I think there are thresholds to "active fat gain/loss" vs standing, stable fat mass, but we'll save that for another thread.

Bonus #science opportunity for #SolarOrbiter, which will cross through the tails of #Comet ATLAS in the next few days. The mission's 4 in-situ instruments will be switched on and collecting data during the encounter đź‘Ť #weareallsolarorbiters

The commissioning of #SolarOrbiter has been proceeding over the past three months to ensure the spacecraft and instruments will be fully functional for the 1st close pass of the #Sun, to take place on 15 June, around 77 million km from our parent star.
Meanwhile, @einionyn noticed that #SolarOrbiter would pass through the ion tail of Comet ATLAS on 31 May-1 June + through the dust tail on 6 June. Fortuitously, the 4 in-situ instruments that measure the conditions around the spacecraft are also great for studying #comet tails!
