2/ @BioLayne “… if you torture the data enough, you can get it to show what you would like it to show.”
This is actually a variation I was one of my favorite quotes of all time.👇
3/ it’s also very prescient in its timing. I was actually just talking with @NutritionMadeS3 yesterday, and why I tend to be more interested in studies that work off open or shared data sets given the level of transparency in the statistical instruments being used…
4/ or put another way, I don’t tend to see a lot of statistical abstraction with these open datasets compared to those that are closed/proprietary.
A PhD student once joked on this topic, (extending the quote) “it’s a lot harder to torture the subject in view of everyone”.
5/ I’ll concede I started skipping through a bunch in the beginning and middle. A big portion was devoted to discussion on the carb/insulin model, which is a topic I’m not that invested in. They touch on hypertrophy near end, but mostly for phys performance.
6/ I do like @BioLayne’s comment, “we’re finally asking the right questions…” (with regard to hypertrophy) and that yes, it’s really just been advanced most in the last 5 to 7 years.
It’s also super relevant to my work given its metabolic influences on lipid profiles.

The majority of things I'd "take back" have more to do with my having a simplified version of certain concepts that I now much more about (and would present as such)
But I'll be hit up on those things that are more overtly incorrect...
2/ Probably the biggest is my originally saying "Low Density Lipoprotein's primary purpose" is to deliver fat for energy. I had meant it at the time as the class opposite HDL (thus, all ApoB). Sure, a few slides later I differentiate with VLDL, IDL, and LDL...
3/ But the more appropriate way to have stated the same thing would have been: "The primary purpose of ApoB-containing lipoproteins overall is to deliver fat-based energy."
However, I don't think I'd like this statement as much either given how ApoB impacts immune other mechs...
2/ Before getting started, note the coming #LMHRstudy will effectively be tackling much of these common considerations quite directly as we study #LMHRs who have considerably high #LDL from being fat-adapted with otherwise #CVD healthy metrics (See CitizenScienceFoundation.org)
3/ While not commonly known, another major carrier protein for chol is Albumin. It's typically considered in light of transporting NEFAs, but its binding sites can (and are) applied to many other lipids, including cholesterol. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
It’s a ironic, my bloodwork looks fine when I’m either keto (less than 25 net carbs) or low carb (25-100 net carbs).
I have a lot more choices when I am low-carb and the food experience is generally more pleasurable with more treats and greater variety…
2/ But in all that time outside of when I’m eating, I just typically feel better. More balanced, better focus, and on top of all of that, I find I simply think about food a lot less. While it’s fun to anticipate a good meal, it can also be an unhelpful distraction.
3/ It’s annoying to have to identify food that is satisfying, but not *too* satisfying. Food I can enjoy but won’t actively overeat. That’s pretty much everything super low carb that isn’t highly refined (I could definitely drink way too much heavy whipping cream “fat shakes”)
1/ An aside -- I'm working on a diet protocol of sorts. In a sense, I'm combining a number of techniques I've picked up from my experiments and seeing if it "works" for me. So far, it definitely has been. I'm nearly to the weight I was right before the Weight Gain Experiment
2/ As a little background, I was usually around 185-ish lb before that experiment, then after completing it and going back to keto, I started to average around 195 (I'm 6'3, btw, so BMI would be 24.4 at that level)
3/ I've chatted about this many times on the MMM (our member stream) with @siobhan_huggins, and have wondered if this was simply a new set point of sorts. Maybe it's the added stress, long hours, and not-so-great sleep schedule.
2/4 ... But this assumption also makes it that much harder for those who struggle with public anxiety to be open about their hardships.
Many consider Naomi to be the best in female tennis, which is why this has real potential to put a new spotlight on this challenge.
3/4 ... To be sure, I don't think it's as simple as allowing athletes to pass on any press of any kind in an international sport. But I do think it's possible this ultimately leads to policy changes that can be more accommodating to many like Naomi.
Long before streaming existed I dreamt of the wonderful day I wouldn’t have to physically get media (like VHS or DVD) to play it. But now that we’re here, do I miss the joy of owning, the cover art, the collecting?
Nope. Not even a little.
... I’m definitely an MCU fan boy, but I continue to be incredibly impressed at the whole story behind the campaign to make #ZackSnyder’s Justice League cut for @hbomax a reality and the persistent campaign to #restorethesynderverse. Seems like anything is possible now.
