Try reading "How Not To Die" by Michael Greger: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y7USB14/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
It's the real deal and will give you a lot of data. However, it's relatively straightforward to eat a healthy diet: eat lots of whole plant foods, particularly greens, fruits, legumes, and whole grains. The closer to the vine/tree, the better. There are thousands of micronutrients in food that we don't yet understand. Every time we take real food apart and put together some processed variation, we destroy important synergistic effects. As Michael Pollan famously said, "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly Plants.".
We're not. You're assuming those things are inherently bad for you. They're not.
Check out the book The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz. It's a life changer.
Edit: and here's my blood work: https://imgur.com/a/BmpS8mk
Anecdotally offered by a guy who sells this book.
They're also quoting "282 parts per billion" as a peak.
To which...
>The Environmental Protection Agency's legal limit on glyphosate in food for adults is 5 parts per million, or 5,000 parts per billion.
This "article" is suspect as fuck...
You are not alone, and thank you for being direct and honest!
> What about individual doctors, though? Why aren’t all my colleagues telling their patients to lay off the Chick-fil-A? Insufficient time during office visits is a common excuse physicians cite, but the top reason doctors give for not counseling patients with high cholesterol to eat healthier is that they think patients may “fear privations related to dietary advice.”65 In other words, doctors perceive that patients would feel deprived of all the junk they’re eating. Can you imagine a doctor saying, “Yeah, I’d like to tell my patients to stop smoking, but I know how much they love it”?
- How Not to Die, Chapter 1: How Not to Die from Heart Disease, by Dr. Michael Greger.
This is towards the end of the chapter, here is the rest in case you are interested:
>Neal Barnard, M.D., president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, recently wrote a compelling editorial in the American Medical Association’s journal of ethics, describing how doctors went from being bystanders—or even enablers—of smoking to leading the fight against tobacco. Doctors realized they were more effective at counseling patients to quit smoking if they no longer had tobacco stains on their own fingers.
>Today, Dr. Barnard says, “Plant-based diets are the nutritional equivalent of quitting smoking.”66
I highly recommend the nutrition science book How Not to Die. This book changed my life, I am eating much healthier and will live longer and feel better because of it.
tim spector: Luckilly I knew the results of the PREDICT 1 study when writing Spoon-Fed - so hopefully it should be upto date ! heres the link if anyone interested https://www.amazon.com/Spoon-Fed-almost-everything-about-wrong-ebook/dp/B07WSSYZK2/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=spoon+fed&qid=1610555671&sr=8-1
thanks! I highly recommend this book if you're interested in how different foods affect different people and all sorts of diet myths. It's blowing my mind
Don't laugh too hard....
I use tallow for thread tapping. Tallow (rendered beef fat) is extremely stable and does not go rancid. There is a hot dip wax formula for chain lube that includes tallow. If you are an old machinist, you are familiar with different types of "natural" lubricants.
I have seen lard mentioned as a lubricant in the old books but on a serious note, I see no use for it on a bicycle. Lard mixed in with chain wax makes sense as it would lower the melting point of the wax if that is indeed a property you want. I find just plain hot wax to be incredibly good by itself.
Prior to oil being pumped out of the ground animal fats and processed seed oils were used for lubrication. Once the seed oil market started collapsing they started to sell it for human consumption. Rape Seed oil was popular, for machine use and was poisonous. Selective breeding has removed most of the poison and it was renamed to Canola Oil because what woman is going to buy rape oil.
Big Fat Surprise is a great book on the history of fats for human consumption and takes a very close look at the studies that out low fat, high carb diets are based on.
I listened to her audiobook via my public library's Overdrive and can only recommend every person interested in really understanding the mechanics behind our current state of nutrition listen or read it. I enjoyed the listening because I could rewind and rewind and then let it sink in. I am not getting any benefit from Amazon just found that link with reviews might be helpful. https://www.amazon.com/Big-Fat-Surprise-Butter-Healthy-ebook/dp/B00A25FDUA
A great place to start with information on this topic would be Jason Fung's The Obesity Code. It's an approachable book that gives lots of fundamental basics on the nature of fasting.
As an atheist who eats a plant-based diet...it really is superior for your health. The go-to book recommendation (with tons of studies cited) is How Not to Die. The title makes it sound like it's about living forever, but it's more like "you don't want to die in poor health, let's maximize your years of healthy living". The book takes a science-based approach and cites its studies.
I have been using the UA II sure meter for 3 weeks now and I can, based on my restricted diet specifically eating fructose foods how my uric acid is impacted, I measure weekly with a 12 hour fast. I Started at 6.4, 6.3, 6.9 today (7-08-22) based on the following excess sugars in foods I ate this this week, 5 to 6 bananas, 3 Go Macro Bars, Three Wishes Cereal 3 to 5 bowls, Wegmans blueberry preserves 50% less sugar, to test to see if I would see an increase and I did.
What’s interesting is I started the Solgar Tart Extract at dinner over the last 2 weeks, per my doctor (I have lots of medication allergies otherwise we might consider a medication), and the combination of the diet and the extract my Blood Pressure improved dramatically. BP was always 160-148 over 110-100 now running 129-117 to 93-78. Check this Peter Attia case study I came across https://peterattiamd.com/case-study-elevated-uric-acid-and-high-blood-pressure/ this and Dr. David Perlmutter MD.
So my realization is that I can control BP, through uric acid control, is it easy hell no, and will this work for everyone not sure. I am hoping this may help someone else to at least review or talk to the doctor about. Doctors try to control the symptom of Hypertension, but not the cause in my case when the uric acid is up my blood pressure is up. Dr Perlmutter has an excellent you tube channel and book as well as Rick Johnsons book https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017SWT5S/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
Check out this video where they talk about pregancy/PCOS specifically and if it resonates, look more into Dr Jason Fung and his book Obesity Code. And he has a lot of youtube videos as well.
I actually had a similar experience recently. I got a book called How Not to Diet expecting that it'd simply debunk common fad diets and explain proper healthy lifestyle choices. It actually goes into detail about how our bodies aren't made for the advertisement-filled mass-production world we live in and explains how this affects us chemically in our brains as we consume as much as our body is telling us to.
It doesn't lie to make you feel better, it's honest about how difficult it is to lose weight and keep it off. It cites everything, 5000+ citations in the book. I'm not done yet but it's been unbelievably interesting and, despite it being negative, it's been really inspirational for me.
I'd start by spending $15 on this book and improve your chances.
It’s not as much about the sodium and fat as it is about the cholesterol (leads to heart disease, top cause of death) and animal protein (raise IGF-1, leads to cancer). Of course the sodium is not good.
A great book about this stuff is How Not to Die
Gary Taubes is the gold standard for this.
His latest is "The Case for Keto", but I still have a soft spot for Why We Get Fat: And What To Do About It.
Taubes is a journalist who specializes in science. His original book on the subject (Good Calories, Bad Calories) is aimed at more of the science/medical community and can be a little dense. The Why We Get Fat book is basically him taking that information and putting it in a little more simple and reader-friendly book. He's been keto for years and really knows his stuff on this and is fantastic at explaining it so anyone can understand.
And you should read this while you are at it:
Both are available for immediate download as kindle books.
I take a daily multi vitamin & also a B12 supplement. In regard to protein ppl are obsessed with this due to misinformation. We need very little protein. What we really need is fiber, & most Americans get far too little fiber on our meat centric diet. Please consider reading How Not to Die by Dr Michael Gregor. On Netflix check out The Game Changers & Forks Over Knives. https://www.amazon.com/How-Not-Die-Discover-Scientifically-ebook/dp/B00Y7USB14/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=how+not+to+die&qid=1620325817&sprefix=how+not+&sr=8-1

I recently came across this gem of a book The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss
I hope you guys will find it useful as have many others. Cheers!
We aren't talking about healthy weight individuals, we're talking about obese people. Telling an obese fuck to just count their calories is so fucking stupid. 500 calories of carbohydrates is not the same as 500 calories of protein. Your body reacts to them differently.

Read a book or two about hormones.
Please enjoy this book to learn how to treat the cause and not the symptom.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with this book or author. I found it trying to figure out why I couldn't lose weight on a very low-calorie diet. It's a great read and addresses this issue.
This is a good read on the subject.

Basically a lot of the "science" that says saturated fat is bad has actually lead to the obsiety epidemic. Also the "science" isnt really science at all. But I encourage you to read, research, and make up your own mind. Don't listen to one or two reddit comments blindly backing either argument.
I mean both. Americans snack constantly, most people always have some sort of refined carbohydrate snack at hand. We never give our bodies the time necessary to do things like reduce insulin levels, or increase metabolizing of fatty acids into ketones.
The "when your bored" part is almost always about snacking, and yes that needs to be cut out. But more than that, I think that for many Americans living on a "typical" American diet, they have a very VERY hard time differentiating between hunger and boredom -- most Americans can go upwards of 30 or 40 days without eating, as long as they get water and electrolytes regularly. This is due to excess body fat being stored for just that very purpose.
In addition, it's also important to give your body extended periods of no food, which can improve self-healing aspects of the body, including the process of autophagy, research into just recently won a Nobel Prize.
I'm merely a citizen who's worried about maintaining his own weight and health, so I'm by no means a professional on this. However there has been some really fascinating studies and renewed interest into the science of fasting and meal timing, and if you find this interesting I highly recommend you go out and independently research it. If I had a recommendation of where to start it would be the book The Obesity Code, by Jason Fun.
Well I started as a way to lose a few pounds. Without little effort, in about 4 months, I lost 40 pounds, little effort meaning, when you start it you have to adapt before you can work out the way you do before or you hit the wall. I went from running 2 to 3 miles a couple of times a week to not working out at all for 3 months and lost 40 pounds. Other benefits, acid reflux went away, snoring went away (people say this is from weight loss, but, if I eat a bunch of carbs now, I'll get indigestion and I'll snore that night). Other benefits are better sleep and needing less sleep. I also can skip meals easily. I intermittent fast now, and I did an experiment one time, went 40 hours without eating anything and felt fine. Also went on a 40 mile bike ride when I became adapted. At about the 30 mile mark, I hit the wall, ate some food a brought along, have a feeling it had more to do with salt than actual food. Paleo is very similar in that it removes so many processed foods and sugar. I suspect people following paleo are in ketosis much of the time since they would also be relatively low carb. BTW, great book below

I believe gout can be a side effect of losing weight - it's been referred to on this sub, so a search should be able to help you.
The book The Sugar Fix talks a lot about gout and how it's caused by high fructose in the diet - including from whole fruit, which the doctor who wrote it advises limiting.
I would highly recommend this book https://www.amazon.ca/How-Not-Die-Discover-Scientifically-ebook/dp/B00Y7USB14/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487697818&sr=8-1&keywords=how+not+to+die for a 'rotting your insides' type of look at animal products.
Disclaimer: I haven't done much research on kids nutrition. It makes logical sense to me that kids are small adults. Yes their caloric/vitamin needs are different, but it's a matter of degree. I don't think they need separate foods, just different amounts. Also, nutrition research is terrible. I encourage you to read the book Big Fat Surprise: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Fat-Surprise-Butter-Healthy-ebook/dp/B00A25FDUA
Some may find this offensive, but it's a fact- there are more overweight children then ever before. Perhaps special "kids foods" weren't sure a good plan? I think eating real food is always the right answer. Not all sweeteners are artificial. Erythritol and stevia are plants. Highly processed, but still plants. My son is 7 mo old, so he's only eating fruits, veg, and meat now. For his first birthday I'll make his cake with swerve and almond flour. When we go on a cruise for his first bday, he will be eating no sweets. Occasionally at home I'll let him have real white sugar, because I don't want a rebellious teen who will eat all bad stuff because I never let him have it. But look, we're the parents, right? It is our job to show them how to eat and live.
Ha, sorry for being long winded. I am passionate about this stuff. I think given that metabolic disorders are now being seen in children, like type 2 diabetes, whatever most people have to say about nutrition is basically wrong. Check out the kids trick or treating tonight. How many of them are overweight? It's not a judgment thing, just a fact. If I can't find pre made stuff with stevia of erythritol, I'll make it myself. Otherwise my son will only have that stuff once in a great while :)
You may be interested in the following book. I am currently a vegetarian who may eventually become vegan still thinking about it, but this book highlights the nutritional risks of eating meat, eggs, and dairy. It is also does not advocate for a vegetarian, vegan, or omnivore diet. The author is Dr Michael Greger lecturer, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org. This book promotes an evidence based diet and thus he provides citations for the actual studies he and others draw their conclusions from. There are well over 100 research studies cited in this book. The book is organized so it discusses in turn the 14 most common causes of death and how diet contributes to your chances of dying from them. He then presents scientific research based dietary changes you can make to mitigate or minimize your risks. It reads almost like a scientific literature review, but the writing is more compelling then most scientists can manage. The book is How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger. Here's a link to this book: https://www.amazon.com/How-Not-Die-Discover-Scientifically-ebook/dp/B00Y7USB14?ie=UTF8&btkr=1&redirect=true&ref_=dp-kindle-redirect This book was worth the price I paid for the kindle version which was more than I usually pay for a book.
