On this day in 2015 I received a lab result that would alter the course of my life.

2/ With that first test I was overcome with shock and curiosity — much more former than the latter.
I wanted to get a repeat test to confirm this wasn’t a lab error.
I wasn’t ready to give up #keto, but I was miserable enough that I ate considerably less.

3/ At the same time I learned as much as I could about Lipidology - which focuses on how the body moves lipids (like cholesterol) in the blood.
And to my surprise, this system is already very familiar to me as a software engineer given it is a distributed object network.

1/ Respectful rebuttal 🧵:
I think you make valid points with regard to a diet community having bad actors that can reflect on it, @jerryteixeira -- but I'd push back that one has to tow the party line on high fat and/or high meat in #keto or get hammered.
Some examples...

2/ I myself have brought up #PlantBasedKeto many times over to raise awareness, even though I try to avoid the diet debates. But I've not suffered any repercussions from the keto community.
3/ DietDoctor.com is arguably the largest resource for #LowCarb diet, and in the last couple years have put out a great deal more material on higher protein with lower fat as a diet direction option. Many low carbers prefer this emphasis over higher fat as a %
1/ Alas, I will *not* be attending #LowCarbDenver. I canceled my trip a few hours ago.
Needless to say, this is extremely heartbreaking as LCD is like home for me.

2/ While I'm 99.9% sure I don't have the virus, I did travel at the beginning of Jan to Asia Pacific region - Macau, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
Granted, (1) this was mainly before wider spread of the virus, and (2) no symptoms/sickness for weeks following...

3/ All that said, I feel the responsible thing to do is to exercise extreme caution right now given my recent travels for the #TheCCDoc.
I was certainly looking forward to seeing you all. But being overly cautious is certainly my preferred type of mistake vs the alternative.

#LowCarbDenver #LowCarbDenver2019 conference was superb thanks to all the organizers and @JeffryGerberMD The audience was hungry for the information presented but the world is literally starving for this knowledge. The SAD a "starvation diet" and people overeat in desperation 1/n
to counteract the deleterious effects of its nutritional devastation. But it is a fools errand. And will ultimately fail. The physical and mental harm done by current nutritional orthodox can not be undone by more. Layering drugs and supplements upon conditions whose root 2/n
causes lay undiscovered will not solve the problem although they may enrich those who rise up to sell these phantasy solutions. And it appears more&more likely that persistent long term hyperinsulinemia in susceptible individuals&species at biologically inappropriate times 3/n
@DoctorTro @lowcarbGP As a 40 year food/carb addict I would have to agree. And keto carnivore combined with hyperthermic stress exercise was the only thing that was able to break addiction to hyperpalatable engineered foods. A number of #LowCarbDenver #lowcarbdenver2019 have noted that carnivore 1/n

@DoctorTro @lowcarbGP the sight of their own body part that precedes the rush of the drug forms as associating that is extremely powerful. Similarly in food addiction packaging & advertising and even the sight of a convenience store sign can trigger a food binge early in recovery. In my addict 3/n
