Yea I definitely don't consider the SAD diet meat based since they insist 45-65% daily food should come from carbs. According to the USDA I should be eating 300-400grams of carbs per day which is just insane to me. Based on my fam history it guarantee I will be a diabetic. On any day I eat maybe 0 to 30g of carbs from whole foods. The liver is always producing endogenous glucose there is no need for dietary carbohydrates. The USDA's guidelines are an absolute disgrace.

What is this exactly...a study of studies of meta-analyses of elective food survey questionaires?

Here's some more reading about reversing type 2 diabetes naturally. The current paradigm that one requires chronic disease management for the rest of their life is entirely false.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7400171/#:~:tex.... "Although treating type 2 diabetes complications is of utmost importance to protect organ damage, it is now increasingly recognized that even the more ambitious goal of diabetes remission may be possible [6]. Thus, while there is little doubt that healthy lifestyle habits are the cornerstone of prevention of type 2 diabetes, they could also be used as an effective treatment to even potentially reverse type 2 diabetes. In this regard, the interesting narrative review published by Hallberg SJ and colleagues [7] has summarized the evidence that type 2 diabetes reversal is possible with the use of three different approaches: bariatric surgery, low-calorie diets and carbohydrate restriction."

Reversing type 2 diabetes naturally is not scientifically unfounded at all. Look online in the right places and there is tons of people that have been able to stop taking all their insulin and metformin etc by fasting, compressing feeding windows, cutting out all carbs.
Even the ADA had to finally acknowledge this is possible in a statement back in 2021: https://diabetes.org/newsroom/international-experts-outline-...
It's not such a crazy idea really - You consume so many carbohydrates that you overproduce insulin and become insensitive to it in a vicious cycle. The more you fast, stay in a ketogenic metabolic status, reduce carbs and/or go zero carb, compress your feeding windows the more insulin sensitive you become.
There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. Your body can maintain your glucose needs by converting proteins into glucose. Fat and proteins are essential. Glucose is not it can be produce by liver.

You cant take these drugs forever afaik. Do they have permanent effects? It's just absurd to me the world has come to the point that we need these drugs in the first place but it makes total sense when you look at America for example. Awash in hyperpalatable processed "food" and corrupt food guidelines, a medical industry that "manages" chronic metabolic preventable disease but never cures it when probably 99% of cases could be reversed naturally. Big pharma and big food play their roles. Just insanity.

100% agree. It absolutely sucks. It sometimes amazes me across all ability apple has that the experience is so atricously obnoxious to try to use more than one monitor with macos. All the points in the article are true and it's a frustrating experience anytime i try it.
Not to mention that macos renders fonts like crap on external displays.

Curious what is it like with grocery stores and plastic bags where you live? If I go to a large grocery store in US there could 100+ people in the store I can guarantee you I am the only one there with my resuable cloth/insulated grocery bags. Everyone else walks out with single use plastic bags.

Every single return Ive done or seen at my drop offs goes into a single use plastic bag + plastic from the tape they use. 99% of my items could ship in a paper bag and don't need plastic bubble wrap. The bubble bag or plastic bag is always completely oversized for the item. I could go on but I think everyone knows the same form their own experience with amazon.

I think the overlooked risk of cannabis consumption (smoke, vape or especially edible) is on heart health and arterial health.

I would say the most epic fad diet of all time is the Standard American Diet, something that was basically "invented" from the weakest evidence, heavily influenced by corporate interests, politics and still perpetuated to this day despite skyrocketing rates of chronic preventable disease and obesity.
To call a keotgenic diet a fad diet as happens in every HN thread seems to ignore the precedent that ketosis was the primary metabolic status for our ancestors for millions of years. If it wasn't, why are our bodies so precisely designed for it..Just random chance? I dont think so.

Does anyone else have this experience - The "old" pre-mobile phone style sites that were written without any "mobile experience" in mind are actually the most pleasant and easy to use on a phone (with just some extra zoom needed sometimes) while the mobile version of countless sites are actually the worst? Ironic isn't it.

So if this became popular you'd have some camps using it and some not. Wouldn't that be ironicly more annoying than the problem it's solving?
I dont get cramps but I do supplement magnesium glycinate or taurate daily you may want to look into that if you havent.
Ive fasted for multiple days and done cardio each day w/ no cramps, just sharing my experience.
