It's actually really nice to see Bart Kay speaking like a normal human instead of a outrage machine.

Sure, a energy deficit means you body needs to be in fat burning mode. If you don't spike your glucose throughout the day you spend more of the day in fat burning mode.
‘carbs = bad’ witch I do disagree with
Not bad so much as unnecessary. Like Alcohol isn't bad by itself if enjoyed occasionally, but some people don't tolerate it well and form chemical dependencies that can impact their health.
Just checked, it's working for me. Goes to a saidit wiki
Nothing worse then losing power and having to walk around your factory, the scale! It really sneaks up on you.
I can't speak to soap, but rendering tallow for food purposes, the impurities can smell a bit wiffy. If I'm trying to render all the cow smell away I have to do the render and filter cycle 3ish times
I always thought it was a choice for tdw and heat concerns. Intel tends to run a bit cooler (used to)
Is this about memes?
How the hell did the medical community go so sideways since then?
From what i've read the doctors who were uncovering the hormonal model of health in the 1930s were German and publishing in German based literature. After the world unpaused in the 1940s there wasn't much enthusiasm in the west for German publications.
Dr. Barry Sears (Biochem PhD, not MD) wrote about all this in the early 90’s in “The Zone” (with references).
Would you recommend reading that book?
Calories are a useful approximation, but not how humans actually operate. A Bomb Calorimeter burns material and the resultant heat generated is what we call a calorie. As a illustrative example of the difference - gasoline is very calorie dense, but not helpful if eaten by a human.
do I gain the calories over the next few hours? Or is it delayed a day or two?
The human body will break down all food and drink into its base components then decide what it will keep, what it will excrete (more or less). So when you consume something you "gain" it immediately (its in your system), the time until its used in the body could be minutes (like carbohydrates), hours (fibre), etc. Often the body will decide to store any excess (carbs again) for later use (weight gain).
Because there will be days when I eat almost NOTHING, and then my scale says I gained 3 lbs. But then there’s other days where I feel I ate like a slob, and somehow lost 2 lbs.
The human body is an amazing homeostatic machine, it's trying to self regulate to optimal body composition. The trouble is lots of modern western food messes with the bodies ability to self regulate..... which brings us to the real topic
Losing weight is hard, but it might be easier if I understood the rules of how this all works.
The big secret is hormones, don't interfere with your hormones and the body will self regulate body composition to optimal (lose weight if your obese).
[Paper] The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity - Beyond “Calories In, Calories Out” - 2018
TLDR - Eating sugar and carbohydrates forces blood glucose levels to rise (within minutes), elevated blood glucose forces insulin to rise (to reduce blood glucose), elevated insulin forces the body to go into anabolic (gain weight) state. Basically you can't lose any fat while your insulin is high, so every time someone eats a bunch of sugar or carbohydrates with a meal/snack they are putting a 2-4 hour pause on any fat loss.
Dr Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor specialising in Neurosurgery who over a span of 20 years has researched the optimal nutritional habits for athletic performance and health. It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases that doctors treat these days are actually caused by the food we eat, or don’t eat, and can in many cases be reversed easily with dietary changes.
Dr. Chaffee began his University education studying Molecular & Cellular Biology with a Minor in Chemistry at the University of Washington in Seattle at the age of 15, which culminated in attaining his MD from the Royal College of Surgeons.
Dr. Chaffee is an All-American rugby player and a former professional athlete in England and America, having taken several years off from his education for the pursuit of sports between his undergraduate degree and medical school. Throughout his athletic career he saw first hand the monumental difference that diet makes to performance and recovery.
Dr. Chaffee almost accidentally came across and practiced a fully carnivorous diet from age 20 to 25, having first learned of the toxic nature of plants during his University education. Since then he has rediscovered this truth and more and has dedicated many years and a large part of his professional practice to the study and education of diet and nutrition. He personally practices a fully carnivorous diet and currently resides in Perth, Australia where he does private consultations and clinics in functional medicine and nutrition.

Dr. Anthony Chaffee - 'Plants are trying to kill you!'
Dr. Anthony Chaffee discusses the nutritional dangers of plants, arguing that they contain toxic defense chemicals which can be harmful to human health. He explains how plants evolve to protect themselves, leading to the presence of various toxins that can cause adverse health effects. He promotes a meat-based diet, suggesting that eliminating plants can lead to significant health improvements.
Key Points
Plants' defense mechanisms
Plants are living organisms that develop defense mechanisms to prevent being eaten by animals. These defenses often take the form of toxic chemicals designed to harm or kill herbivores, making many plants inedible for humans and animals alike.
Toxic chemicals in common vegetables
Dr. Chaffee presents evidence that many commonly consumed vegetables, including Brussel sprouts, spinach, and almonds, contain harmful toxins and carcinogens. He emphasizes that these naturally occurring substances can lead to serious health issues over time.
The role of lectins
Lectins, a type of protein found in various plant foods, are linked to negative health effects including digestive issues and autoimmune diseases. They can interfere with insulin and leptin signaling, contributing to overeating and metabolic disorders.
Misconceptions about plant-based diets
Chaffee argues against the common belief that plant-based diets are inherently healthy. He points out that many plant foods contain natural pesticides and toxins that far exceed those found in processed foods.
Evolutionary co-adaptation
The evolutionary arms race between plants and animals has led to specialized diets in certain species that can consume plants without harmful effects. Most animals do not have the adaptations needed to safely consume many plants, highlighting the risks associated with a plant-heavy human diet.
There is a established link between elevated insulin levels and PCOS
i.e. Ketogenic - Chapter 3 - Endocrine
The full book is available on the normal free literature places, but the TLDR is that a diet that reduces insulin levels can be used to treat and reverse PCOS
