They are not the best data. It's just too widely used.

"3" most likely.

"Are you going to purposely malnourish people so that you can see they're malnourished? That's ethically dubious at best."

Yes, that's what Soylent is currently doing. No suprise the founder got bad news from his cardiologist with an earlier version. "Failing" with their product in this case actually means hurting the customers.

Have a look http://examine.com/blog/soylent-is-made-from-hype/

Or Consulting/Freelancing. It's very much possible.

They are not marketed this way, because the producers are not insane and/or incompetent. Soylent is more expensive than eating food.

No you are wrong. MRP companies are just more careful regarding marketing. Taking a "failing is ok, we'll fix it later" approach to your own health is a terribly retarded approach. Especially because long term effects can take months and years to manifest (lack of nutrients).

Have a look at the relationship between potassium/nacl and Blood pressure.

TLDR: Focus on unprocessed foods and foods you like that are rich in potassium. Lower your bodyfat percentage and exercise in same fashion regularly.

Oh god no http://examine.com/supplements/Creatine/

It's the increased protein and reduced kcal intake (greater satiety by protein + less choice by excluding vast amounts of food groups) that works. No need to go very low carb/keto.

It's not for him, but for the blogs he hosts. The writers there are used to WP.

No, this is a very underused mechanism in humans. Highly active in lab rats though. Which led to this confusion. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3799507 500g Carbs overfeeding > <10g Fat synthesized

It is NOT useless. There are a plethora of factors influencing energy intake. Which you can work on. His unsubstantiated pet theory that carbs are to blame lacks evidence.

A lot of unpopular opinions are terribly wrong. What are you referring to?

ADHS?

His research is terrible. He is missing several key ingredients.

Twist: He earns all his money by selling nespresso capsules. There has never been any consulting or AP business. It's all coffee.

Hey, you are a MD student from Germany as well + interested in Programming/SAAS? Any way to contact you?

invitation?

Think more along potatoes and quark.

Close, but not quite. I'm more german than austrian.

Actually I'm doing my PHD on adherence to healthy habits and behavioural change (preventative medicine with a focus on exactly these things). ;) The whole willpower shtick is a bit overplayed based on the available evidence. The real (first) problem is often learned helplessness. And then a lack of knowledge on how to change things and which things are most important. Shaping your environment and changing your habits without using significant amounts of willpower. It's doable.

Hm, I'm wondering: How does your diet look like? IIRC you already supplementing vitamin D.

Love your work (esp. Talks at Microconf) btw.

Control your eating. More Protein, more veggies. Eating in a way that is healthy and keeps your weight down is not expensive. A few bodyweight exercises can be done several times a week and take only a few minutes. It's possible to be in good shape and lean even if you are poor. If you want too.

But does he apply it...

Chemo sucks, because of the sides and the low improvement in meaningful outcomes. It's still one of the best treatments we have once

As someone that is in preventitive medicine: It's a bit more complicated. But one of the hardest part is changing peoples habits. Besides the rather crappy data available on prevention/diet etc.. Sensationalism and fear can help some to change their life. But there are better (more positive) methods.

But there are a bunch of studies on useful stuff. Inositol, Theanine etc. And we still don't do studies because interests don't align well for it to happen quickly. My point being that some Alt Med Practitioners actually help. I don't like it, because I heavily dislike the widespread incompetence about science/medicine in Alt Med circles. But it's still true.

Well the MDs do give you lifestyle advice. And the "professionals" that should care about this stuff (esp. dieticians) also suck badly. They often just regurgitate the food pyramid.

I completely agree otherwise.

I am on my way to my MD, I know. But in the real world people do use "Alt Med" for treatments that have shown efficacy already. It takes far longer than expected until this stuff becomes part of practiced medicine though. In the end I don't care about the label, but the evidence/science and the results.

Some things do work and are not yet accepted in medicine. Herbal medicine etc.pp.

Often it's just hard to patent and/or isn't financially lucrative to get FDA approval.

Also lifestyle in general is terribly handled in medicine. MDs know nearly nothing about what matters and what they should recommend. They are decades behind the available evidence.

Yeah this Ancel Keys' shtick is great marketing from the paleotards.
