Hi folks, There are certain groups of people that are still recommended to specifically reduce their consumption of fat as a macronutrient. From personal experience, I'm familiar with post-cholecystectomy patients (not all of them, but commonly). Also I believe people with...
so, using the calories in calories out law, if you are consuming more calories than you need, then you will definitely gain weight, and the other way around is weight loss. if one person is consuming high amounts of carbohydrates, as...
What happens when you do strength training but eat a low protein low carb high fat diet? Do you just retain muscle mass or is there a way to add muscle on such a diet?
Recently joined this channel and was shocked to see so many people demonizing saturated fat, suggesting that it directly causes CVD. For those who might actually care about science instead of long proven false dogma, almost a year old...
I looked up too much discussions about low or moderate fat subjects, but can't find any scientifical explanation about essential fat acids. Are they usable from body fat or must we take fat daily? I need an explanation about fat...
What are the benefits and downsides to both?
I recently began intermittent fasting (20:4) and I’d like to try some extended fasts (72H+) so that autophagy kicks in. I’ve read that fasting can contribute to gallstones so I’m kind of afraid to do fasts altogether. Is there any way to...
I’m female, 22, 169cm, 67kg I was doing omad and keto last month, then I got my period and stopped the diet cuz I wasn’t feeling well. I felt dizzy especially when I’m laying down. The condition continued after my period...
Hey, I thought this would inspire some of you. I started my daily fasting routine on 1 May, 2020 and I still continue to fast daily to this day without fail. I was and still am on a Fat-based "VLCHF" diet of...

I’ve always had a passion for nutrition/fitness but recently I’ve dug into the research regarding metabolic disease and insulin resistance, and it’s pretty overwhelming. There seems to be compelling evidence that *everything* causes MD / IR. Carbs are the boogeyman...
Keto is high fat, low carb, and a decent amount protein. Vegetables are optional. Most people only do keto for a few years and then revert back to their normal eating habits after they get the health results they wanted,...

I am a 23 year old, 6'4 male, who weighs 370 lb. I need to lose 70 lb in the next 40 days. Is this realistic, and if so, what kind of fasting schedule do I need to adhere to? I'm...
I was always into fitness/bodybuilding and a low-carb diet is the best way to lose some fat. I did it a few times, but around 2000 it was mainly low-carb, low-fat, high-protein. Do you remember those negative articles about low-carbing,...
In a recent video by Gil Carvalho, he looks at a new review that focuses on the effects of substituting other calorie sources in place of saturated fat. The evidence would seem to weigh against saturated fat. What is your opinion...
I went from 255 to 140 with keto and IF (usually OMAD with occasional 48h and 72h fasts in between). I'm now maintaining with low-carb and 16:8 IF. That means I skip breakfast and I don't ever snack even in...
As a layman I'm bamboozled hearing both sides of the saturated fat debate. It does seem that, broadly speaking, he was. So I ask, what doe the evidence say? Thanks
There are many different forms of fasting. There is the 16/8 diet, alternate day fasting, and more. One of the more extreme versions is called one-meal-a-day (OMAD for short). This diet consists of individuals eating one very calorie-dense meal daily....
So i see so many people talk so greatly about keto mixed with if, but i rarely see anyone who is vegetarian talk about their diet. Basically all of my protein comes from legumes, lentils and soy based prpduct -...
Thanks for the patient and timely answers to my questions. This is my favorite blog. Ok, another thing, if I was to have liposuction would I then lose more fat from my viscera as apposed...
As it appears in the title I want to know what's the best diet to a person who hit the gym for lifting and fast omad on regular basis ? I think vegan is a hard for a person who fast On...
Are there any major cuisines that are naturally lower in fat than others? Ie, cuisines and cultures that tend to consume less fatty foods?
Is it the overconsumption of calories? Or is it that fast food is t very nutritionally dense. Also if I overate healthy food would I still feel bad afterwards?
When we think of healthy food the first category that comes to mind is vegetables. But I recently discovered that as far as I can tell, there’s nothing in vegetables that we can’t get from fruit, meat, and/or dairy. They...
Does getting a certain amount of dietary fat even matter? Would a normal healthy individual just be better off using those calories for more carbohydrate loading and protein intake, and just making sure They get their daily serving of flax...
When having acid reflux, is there any meal that could be privileged to contribute to alleviating the acid reflux from the nutrition perspective?
I keep my eating window between 12 and 8 or 1 and 9. Sometimes adjust it based on evening appointments. I am trying to eat earlier but do find myself eating close to 8 or 9 at times which I...
I'm aware that there are multiple studies that verify the negative outcomes between diets high in (saturated) fat intake but in some of those studies, BMI of individuals isn't stated. Do high quality studies exist that verify the connection between...
Vegan, keto, low fat and high carb are all exactly opposite to each other. On one hand there is peer reviewed literature which says high fat high protein diets can cause insulin resistance on the other some...
Who has glucose test strips? To answer the question about whether adding milk/cream/butter/unsweetened almond milk to our morning coffee breaks the fast and makes us dirty cheaters we need a bunch of people to participate in an experiment. Some should...
1) Why some nutrion guidelines recommdend eating meals high in protein and fiber whilst other recommend meals high in protein and fat? I know that protein is the most satieting macronutrient , is it fat more satiting than carbohidrates...
It is easy to maintain a lean physique while eating low carb, high fat, and high protein diet or keto. What are the downside of getting most of you calories from fat and protein and essentially neglecting carbohydrates?
I’ve been doing 16-8 IF for a few weeks and so far feeling great. I’m M, 155lbs, and don’t want to lose any weight. I’m following a low carb, high fat diet (but not strict keto) Currently doing fasting for overall...
I've been fasting, intermittent, omad, occasionally 3-5 day water fasts. Here's what I've learned and rate my current diet/fast. Three big tips not that it might be a surprise: chewing gum, electrolytes, mild exercise. So I found that when doing water only...
Are humans designed to eat meat and is there solid evidence to back up that meat is a carcinogen? It plant based eating actually healthier than Paleo?

So I wanted to start IF, and now I am not sure anymore, because of the following: Is it true that I have to go low carb? I actually thought it's about not eating too much calories, but I heard somewhere...

I do not understand the general trend right now, apparently carbs are bad for you? When did oats, sweet potatoes, berries become a number one cause of obesity? How in the world did some people come to this conclusion?
>“This is clearly a lie. Gaining 34 lb in 28 days requires a caloric surplus of 4300 calories per day, so for a guy his size, he must have eaten 7000 calories a day. He expects me to believe that...
Will eating peanut butter and nuts in general make someone fat. They are high in protein and can be used to meet daily requirements, however would a person get fat from this, nuts have healthy complex fats, but looking at...
I’ve had family members, friends, and people alike ALL discourage me from fasting. But fasting has done wonders for me. It gives me energy, it’s helping me lose weight after being overweight for so long, it literally cured my PCOS,...
**Hey Everyone!** So, I've been debating wether to post my story here or not, but I feel reading someone else's experience when it comes to any situation helps others put into perspective the "rights and wrongs" of certain things, fasting/dieting...
I(25,F) have been trying to lose weight all my life. The only thing that showed positive results is IF. But the problem is I've never been consistent with it for more than 2 months. I KNOW that if I keep...
Hey guys, I’ve just recently started on intermittent fasting and I’m not sure whether I’m on the right track. I’m starting small, going to the gym three times a week and working with a trainer once a week. I’m upping the...
It's an extended fast. Only water
I've been seeing more posts from r/stopeatingseedoils. What's the story there? Is there anything to the science or is this just another Reddit nutrition fad sub?
So it seems to be the case that eating a significant amount of saturated fats is (as hunter gatherers) evolutionarily consistent. I was wondering if anyone has any evidence/arguments to the contrary? And furthermore, does this mean that according to...
I want to try eating one meal a day because I’ve been overeating during my window (18:6). I seem to do better when I just don’t eat at all. I usually get a headache around 2 if I don’t eat...
I signed up for a one-week trial and I'm enjoying it so far. I've been motivated by the fact it shows that 'fat burning' starts about 6 to 7 a.m. if I eat dinner at 6 or 7 the evening...
What am I doing wrong here?
Shall I start with a dry fast a month, and then go to 2 dry fast a month, then 3 and then 4 (weekly)? Or shall I start with one dry fast a month, and then 36, 48 and then...
Hello everyone, 36M and new to IF I lost 70obs with Noom (calorie counting) but due to a severe back injury and I think medication, I put it all back on. My ability to workout has diminished a lot while I wait...
Hi- quick question to everyone who read Dr. Fung's Obesity Code: What did he say about weight loss and breaking long term fast? I know that after day 3, we burn our fat and maintain good metabolism. I am so bored...

What I mean by the title is, for example, if we eat mainly protein, does that mean we will have more muscle than fat? (Considering we will be eating nearly zero carbs and relatively lowfat). Maintenance calories of course. In the...
This year alone, I've heard about patients with inflammation-based diseases prescribed strict diets of fruit juices to aid in recovery, and people with type two diabetes and gastroenteritis prescribed low fat, high grain diets ostensibly to lose weight. It's not my...
If yes, can you share your diet?

Hello, I was wondering what you guys think about the keto diet?
What are the basics to intermittent fasting? What does “16/8” and other types of fractions mean? I’m sure this question has been asked before but I scrolled through some and didn’t see it. I think intermittent fasting could really help...
I have been looking for a book on dieting that might motivate me to eat better. Looking for suggestions!
[Here](https://www.lipedema.org/patients) is a brief overview of lipedema. (Note: lipedema, not to be confused with lymphodema.) Because this type of fat is resistant to exercise and caloric deficit, as seen in the extreme [here](https://miro.medium.com/max/580/1*ASNgelAKGB1_pZUJF0rasA.jpeg), I'm curious if there are any fasting mechanisms...

I'm interested to hear your arguments against following a plant-based (plant-forward) diet. I don't mean vegan or vegetarian, but essentially an omnivore diet that's centered on whole plant foods (whole-food plant-based, WFPB) and sometimes adds animal-based and ultraprocessed foods. I'm surprised...
