Clearly you are your Father's son, he must be very proud of you. Well done both.

carb calculated how

Sugar calculated as what?

You'd think that's true, but what if it isn't? What if there were alternatives that work for you? What would you do? Why would you judge?

but that's the point your generalisation isn't valid without that input, so you can't judge (or know).

Free living conditions include internal feedback loops. What if your body is struggling to deal with sugar but at the same time sending messages it's hungry because the body is all out of whack (technical term). So the individual is making appropriate choices based on the messages the body is...

so how do you calculate what goes in (is it equivalent for everything or does it differ), what is available, what is accessible, what is used? is your assessment robust (repeatable), does it apply to everyone or are there individual differences?

oh pfft, they aren't (immune or trying to prove it). The science lies in the measurement and interpretation. Subtlety of understanding.

Hi Nikki, me too, last Wednesday and also jumped in crazy! I turned down meds and opted for diet for three months to see if I could turn it around. I feel weird on keto, not bad just odd. Also better than I've felt in years. Have had some shakes and also full body tingling in the morning, very...

I disagree. In the purist sense CICO works. But it isn't sensitive to mechanisms in the body. It's entirely plausible that a "special" approach will be more effective. These ideas aren't mutually incompatible.

I'd add for clarity, we need to know what the calories in, calories available equation is, because that might not be a direct equivalent (see type 1 diabetes).

Believing that what happens inside the body is more complex than simply CICO is not inconsistent with CICO. If your model is: put fewer calories in for ever, measure weight at various points until death by starvation, CICO holds. Similarly if the model is: put more calories in, measure weight at...

Hi, I'm interested in this thread because I like to cook but on certain days not so much. Three days a week I do a long commute - 3hrs each way. I come in the door at 6pm (on a good day) having been out since 5am and have to be in bed by 8pm if I'm going to get 8hrs sleep. So I have 2hrs in the...

Hi, brand new to all this, diagnosed Wednesday, low carb Wednesday (probably keto but too soon know what I'm doing really!). Loved this pod cast. Also the Gary Taube. Does anyone have further top recommendations from this site? CoP
