1/ While I haven't talked about it yet, I've been #carnivore throughout August as an experiment. But I switched to #KetoAF (basically carnivore, but with higher fat-to-protein ratio) for this final week before the month is over. <I took labs at the switch off, of course>
2/ Credit to @siobhan_huggins for twisting my arm into this as it has been quite illuminating. One sneak preview observation is that it truly is the most satiating of anything I've tried to date. I've found I can straight up consume less food overall while at these ratios...
3/ Also, mega props to @KetoCarnivore, who has really pioneered some excellent work in this area. I'm excited to see what her new data shows along with the many others working through these new parameters.

@siobhan_huggins will record a video on this experience fairly soon.

1/ I wrote a big long tweet thread to address @JTMarlin77's point below. But I realized it has a central flaw, one that I'll keep getting mired in unless "next level" this conversation. So let me come at it a different way...
2/ My position on LDL is nuanced.

I try to make a good faith effort to represent this, even on Twitter. I regularly caveat, qualify, and openly express uncertainty where it should be noted. I don't know that I'm perfect on this, but I do my best.
3/ Many people will still seek to interpret my nuanced position as non-nuanced. And that's the problem with talking about this subject. If I attempt to unpack the nuance, it will stretch to 80 tweets. And those same people who simplified in the first place, probably won't read it

1/ Let's unpack this, because it's important to talk about with regard to anecdotes and survival bias.

First, it's a safe bet we all will die. Moreover, it's safe bet that most people will die of CVD (although cancer isn't that far behind). This includes #LMHRs...
2/ The key question is on whether #LMHRs will have *early* development of cardiovascular disease due to their very high LDL cholesterol (and LDL-P). Conventional scientific opinion would say yes.
3/ So if the LMHR Facebook group only reports, say, 10 people having events out of the current 3,500 members, should LMHRs take comfort? Or from the other direction, should any new or current member who has an event be taken as proof positive the phenotype is deleterious?

1/ I keep thinking about one exchange @ethanjweiss and I had on the #CholesterolScience broadcast... more so than any I've had in any prior interview before. I've cued it to the right timecode here:
2/ In this moment, we're talking about the finding of the 4S trial that @erreyedoc was mentioning (linked here). And in particular, we're talking about those with high LDL, high HDL, and low TG in the existing statin trial data would show a low risk group.
3/ I point out why I'm genuinely stunned this "positive" triad (and certainly one I'm focused on) hasn't garnered the attention of the medical community. Why wasn't there a push right there to better identify and understand if this specific group was being served by Rx treatment?

Vince Gironda-The Worlds First Personal Trainer and Bodybuilding Guru

He was was a pioneer in the fitness industry, but unfortunately no one has ever heard of him,

Yet if you've ever done a low carb or #carnivore diet, you're following his ideas from 50 year ago
Born in 1917, his full name was Vincent Anselmo Gironda

He was born in the Bronx of New York City, his family moved when he was a toddler to California, where his father worked as a stuntman

Vince grew up wanting to a dancer originally, but then became a stuntman like his dad
He took up stunt work at the age of 22, but he quickly realized he lacked the muscle for it

He went to the Easton Brothers gym in Hollywood to train

The Easton gym still exists today, and in its day it was one the original “bodybuilding meccas”

I’m not sure what magic caused this to appear in my timeline but it gave me a nudge at a point where I really needed a nudge (or maybe a good hard shove). It also spoke to a core fear: that I’d get there and nobody would believe me. How can this be a problem now at 48?
But of course it wasn’t just now - it’s been at least since university DVD probably before. It was just never noticed because I could gut through things and was basically quiet. The more I read about ADHD, the more things made sense.
So anyway, I went in yesterday. I had bad allergies as a cover story in case I lost my nerve. But they listened to me and now I’m going back next week to see where it goes.

My #carnivore experience, in a thread (Part 2) For Part 1 go here :
The #carnivore diet is loosely this: only eating animal products, and strictly this: only eating beef, salt, and water. I’m a purist with such things, so I went the strict route. I committed to 30 days. 26)
I am now 7 months in and there has been dramatic improvement in my wellbeing. My transition was particularly difficult. I started to get terrible cramping in my abdomen, the return of bloat, some depression, fuzzy headedness. Most of it went away in 4 weeks. 27)

My #carnivore experience, in 2 threads (Part 1: On August 26th 2018 I began only eating beef with salt, and drinking water. Nothing else. My intention was to remain on this very strict diet for at least 30 days, perhaps longer depending on outcome. 1)
You see, for as long as I can remember I’ve had digestive issues that have caused a variety of symptoms, from headaches to bloating and nausea, to fatigue, to fissures. I’ve always had them to some degree, but at times in my life they were debilitating. 2)
I’m an optimist, but recently a very dark thought had been creeping in. My symptoms were ramping up again and I was afraid I’d have a prolonged period of dis-ease and I thought: What if physically I’m just not viable to thrive? 3)

Q&A time
Q1: How about people who've had their gall bladder taken out. How can they do keto or carnivore diet? A from Clemens: no special needs. Q: don't they need to take enzymes? A (Clemens): No. A (Ben-Dor): I have no gall bladder. It's fine. A (Mason): your bile production adapts
A (Mason): I can't recall one patient without a gall bladder who had problems with a high-fat diet

People, I’m not a #Carnivore

I RT @SBakerMD, @MikhailaAleksis and others b/c I find the anecdotal evidence powerful

Clearly an all meat diet can have extraordinary health effects, that’s unarguable in the face of so many peoples health transformations
Whether the carnivore diet is universally “right” for everyone

That’s not my position at all

But it does seem to be beneficial for a large segment of the population

And it certainly defies the narrative of the mainstream media espouses
Your health is your responsibility and you are your greatest experiment

Find what works for you and makes you vibrant
