How to reverse type 2 diabetes
I’m not diabetic and perhaps it’s because I’ve been living by a ketogenic friendly diet and intermittent fasting for a couple decades. When I learned that intermittent fasting was a thing I ran into information from Dr. Jason Fung and read his book, “The Obesity Code”. It’s a good read and extremely informative but, if…

Avocado Mint Chocolate Custard
The avocado adds a certain creaminess to this custard and its mild flavor goes well with the chocolate and mint. I used Allulose as the sweetener here and I found it far superior in taste to any other non-sugar sweetener. There is absolutely no artificial sweetener aftertaste when using Allulose. Allulose is less sweet than…

Why science is never settled
Nina Teicholz wrote an op-ed in the LA Times today that talks about the new analysis of scientific studies surrounding red meat and how there is no conclusive evidence, one way or the other, as to red meat’s benefit or harm. It’s important reading because it highlights what is prevalent in all science lately. The…

The cult of keto?? Uh oh…
So now the Keto Diet has reached cult status! Why does everyone have to do this? If people want to eat this way and it’s working for them then leave them alone. While some normal people might use keto judiciously to shed a few pounds fast, it also has a host of weirdly tribal followers.…

c|net covers keto?!?
How far has c|net fallen from the technology news site it used to be? I used to religiously read c|net and follow many of the columnists and hosts in the 1990’s and 2000’s. Now they’re reporting on the Keto Diet? Who do they think they are? The Verge? The average keto dieter wants to keep…

What’s the diff between keto and paleo?
In short, the difference is primarily whether or not you consume processed or unprocessed food. With keto many people eat processed foods because they are just watching their macros. With paleo you can’t eat processed food because you’re restricting yourself to things that the supposed Paleolithic man would have eaten. To me, it all boils…
