1/ Thread on new #LMHRstudy video 🧵

Video is at the end, but please thread first 👇

⚠️ Data are *preliminary*
⚠️ Doesn't tackle causality
⚠️ Full recruitment needed!
(Help us get there)
👇👇👇

If YOU or someone you KNOW might qualify
👉👉👉LMHRstudy.com
2/ Note caveats Budoff states in the video:

⚠️ Healthier population at baseline
⚠️ Looking ahead to future studies
⚠️ And this is qualitative, not quantitative analysis*

*Quantitative is much more exact and granular.
3/ And note at the beginning we agree, "continue working with your doctor"

1/4 Curiosity thread 🧵
(with a poll)

While much of the feedback on @nicknorwitz’s new paper (below) has been positive, there have been some with concerns regarding use of CGMs for @harvardmed students in this context.

So I want to ask a couple questions…
2/4 Assume the entire experiment was performed in an identical manner save one change:

Instead of using CGMs, the students simply did a high frequency of finger stick blood tests through a glucose monitor (glucometer), effectively getting likewise results to those reported.
3/4 Would this one alteration alleviate much of the concern about the CGM use?

Four part true/false #poll, with an open question at the end…

1/ True or False

If someone said they get 35% or less of their fat calories from saturated fat, you would consider them on a “low saturated fat diet”
2/ True or False

If someone said they get 10% or less of their fat calories from saturated fat, you would consider them on a “low saturated fat diet”
3/ True or False

If someone said they get 35% or less of their total calories from carbohydrates, you would consider them on a “low carb diet”

1/ Yes, the topic of a "hyper-response" with high #LDL #Cholesterol (LDLc) on #keto has been coming up a lot this summer, particularly for #LMHRs -- and that's a good thing. More discussion and research desired!

I'll try to unpack the key differences in 3 standing hypotheses...
2/ Conventional: higher LDLc "hyper-response" (HR) mainly due to higher consumption of saturated fat (SF)

@DrNadolsky hypothesis: HR due to higher SF, but also genetics

Me: HR affected by many things, but generally more influenced by Lipid Energy Model (LEM) than SF or genetics
3/ Starting with a few key influences we all agree on...

These things likely have a significant detectable increase on LDL compared to reverse:

1) Swapping unsaturated fat with SF
2) Reducing fiber
3) Less resistance training

1/ 🙏 Happy Accident 🧵

I’m incredibly thankful for that day back in March 2015 when I got an A1c of 6.1 for the second year in a row.

Why?

It led to my finding #lowcarb as a possible means to prevent the onset diabetes…
2/ Shortly after starting, I had immediate family members with health issues be inspired to do likewise.

One of those immediate family members had an A1c of 8.1 at the time. Two were hypertensive, and taking medication for it. And these are just the immediate family members…
3/ off the top of my head, I think there are roughly 2 dozen people between both close friends and family who are sustained lower carb now than they were before For weight loss, or other reasons of health gain.

To be sure, it hasn’t worked for everyone, nor would I expect that.
