I literally begged a researcher for help and dialogue for over a year. He denied me several times, bordering on insulting me on several occasions

Now he comes to me & says I should apologize to all the low carb researchers for not citing/thanking them in our recent paper

WTF🤔
I don’t have a research division. It’s literally me and me bugging really smart people like @drericwestman @davidludwigmd for basic direction.

It’s me and a couple medical students, residents and collaborators.
This is not my full time job, I see patients all day. I’m just trying to bring what I see to the medical literature.

So discouraged after this private message today... just a terribly heinous act.

Funny enough I thank the giants on the podcast & in office DAILY...
Every day I cite the work of Ludwig, Volek, Phinney, Westman... on the podcast weekly, on my group calls we literally discuss their papers.

I truly am standing on the shoulders of giants, and am proud to be helped by so many excellent mentors

LATE NIGHT BINGING:

•3pm to 11pm = time of highest perceived cravings

•Corresponds to the LOWEST blood sugar of the day

• @drrajitastress showed mild hypoglycemia ⬆️ desire for hyperpalatble food

• @AgnesAyton showed 100% of evening/nighttime binging is NOVA-4 foods
•As you overconsume hyperpalatable processed carbage, over time you will develop fatty liver then hyperinsulinemia

•Your body will have more glycemic excursions, stress responses on blood sugars will exacerbate

•if continued you will gain weight, develop MetS & prediabetea
•as you becomig metabolically sick, your triglycerides will rise and the work of Suzanne Craft shows that this goes to the brain an causes leptin/insulin resistance making you MORE hungry despite weight gain

•as you gain weight, fatty liver and diabetes worsen

THREAD ALERT 🚨

CALORIE TRACKING, LOGGING, ESTIMATION all are consistently unreliable in the medical literature

KNOWLEDGE of calories has little effect on intake

In this thread ill highlight some of the negative data on “calories” having any impact on intake or weight loss
Calories on labels have no effect on ordering: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

People don’t use calories when ordering: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19299679/

No changes in intake with calorie information nature.com/articles/ijo20…
Less than 35% can correctly estimate calories of food, calorie labeling increases accuracy of calorie estimation from 15% in low income consumers to 24% but does not effect food intake

THREAD:

I was told as a medical intern that my refusal to take the influenza vaccine was a disgrace. My argument relied on Jefferson’s Meta analysis which demonstrated it’s limited utility in healthy adults

My personal opinion was that the risk/benefit wasn’t favorable for me
I agreed for it’s use in elderly & immune compromised, but there was even an interventional trial in residents that showed no work days gained from taking the vaccine!

I also argued that there wasn’t any good randomized placebo controlled trials for the vaccine.
I also argued that ILI was a terrible endpoint to track for efficacy. None of this mattered as I received an intense barrage of insults and I feared losing my job.

But I stood my ground.
