I stopped taking statins for that reason. It's the only medication I have been prescribed. Historically my good/bad cholesterol is best controlled with a simple carb (sugar/flour etc.) diet. Not sure about the carnivore diet people are touting now. I do better with complex carb/protein.
Every lie requires about 1000 hours to uncover the truth.
The whole point is that you know your own body, should listen to it and respond in kind. It's a reciprocal relationship. Too many of us so easily trust everyone else than ourselves when it comes to diet, nutrition and exercise.
The numbers they look for in the box do not fit every human!
We're all the exact same bigot! Except when it's convenient to divide the people of course.
Yes and no. I don't think it's a bad idea to get a lot of information about what works and doesn't for other people. I know a lot of people who have a problem with dairy but that just doesn't seem to be a problem for me.
Oh that's what I'm meaning, is that there is enough information and evidence around that we can rely on rather than putting faith in the latest fads etc.
I have reservations about the carnivore diet, partly because it looks boring AF eating nothing but meat and eggs all the time and because the adherents (Carnies) as about as annoyingly cultish as Crossfitters and the Fasters.
And yes not everyone thrives on the same diets, I know of bodybuilders who got big on high carb diets and some on low fat diets even and not a single one who got there by fasting but the one thing that's universal is getting at minimum 0.8g of protein per 1lb of bodyweight. There was one who got ripped on carnivore but ultimately had to put some carbs back into his diet as he got to a point where he just couldn't progress and perform well on just protein and fat alone.
Personally my diet is high protein and high in sat fat with moderate carbs (about 50% of "normal"), sugar intake is about half of what is recommended and importantly trying to keep fiber fairly high as low-fiber is one of the root of many problems in the western diet. So many issues can be addressed by raising your protein and fiber intakes. One thing I noticed by minimizing my consumption of seed oils is that I went this entire year not getting sunburned once despite not using sunscreen, it's theorized that polyunsaturated oils building up in the skin are the cause as they oxidize the most easily under UV light.
This year I changed my diet, lost almost 50 pounds, and part of that is that I don't eat anything seed oil, fried or processed, and if I must use oil I only use avocado oil.
I enjoy being (very, very) tan and have been every summer for my whole adult life (I'm almost 57). I've NEVER in my life ever used sunscreen; I avoid it like the plague. Anyway, this summer I got fairly tan, but once I reached a certain level I couldn't get any darker for some reason, despite being shirtless out in the sun for a couple hours every day.
I had read about the theory of seed oils interfering with the bodies natural melanin production, and that being the cause of sunburns and skin cancer, so I've been curious if that's why I wasn't able to get as dark tan, compared to previous summers.
Fascinating theory. Sunscreens themselves are also toxic and carcinogenic, hence the increase in skin cancer (sounds like seed oils play a role too) as more and more people use sunscreen daily.
I deep fry stuff very often, mostly in olive oil. Frying itself is not the issue it's the choice of oils.
For me high fiber high protein low simple carbs is the key. Interesting about seed oils. I will pay more attention to this. I have tried to cut down on them anyway.
Very interesting video about seed oils...
