Thanks a lot for this interesting read, especially the point about relying on fat-oxidation in the long run.
I wonder though why some UFC fighters or Joe Rogan for example are having mostly exclusively carnivore diets... do they eventually run into issues with high cortisol?
I personally have no issues, it's a family member who was given a test by the doc and told to do something about it (the doctor actually didn't wanna prescribe anything). So having read this thread I am not concered about high cholesterol, but will tell the family member to also eat foods that lower cholesterol (for example oatmeal for breaky).
Carbohydrates and other pro-inflammatory agents such as soybean and corn oils are what destroys your arteries. Cholesterol is simply your body’s way to try and repair the damage.
Makes sense! What kind of oil do you use for frying meet or veggies in a pan?
Yeah, it's a family member who told me her doc gave her the news. I just explained her all the info from this thread and now everyone's happy :)
I trust medical info on GAW waaaay more then the medical experts inside the system.
I'm not really sure I understand what you mean by building up in the blood. Do you mean having two blood tests a month apart and seeing whether it went up? Or do you mean, builds up in the blood as opposed to somewhere else in the body?
Here in Europe I meant. And no, they are not unfortunately. This specific video was also from before the election results.
We have to wait and see where this is going, the EU will not give up easily.
