I was okay, now I’m depressed again.
True. I was able to because I lived way BELOW my means, living in cheap houses and buying old cars. worked 2 jobs (65 hours total) for 10 years, saved half of my earnings and invested in stocks. So retiring at 57 was easy, joined a high class private golf club in Vancouver, WA and had a great time, including 30+ cruises. I can never spend all my money if I live to be 100.
Kudos: You’re close. (all I’m sayin’)
The Mediterranean diet is optimal for most people. Plenty of seafood, just a little animal protein, and plenty of whole foods.
There is a podcast somewhere that the guy ate only meat for a year. He actually did pretty well.
So, he should just STFU.
Not to burst your bubble but can reverse the diabetes you have do it all on NO Carbs
Nope.
You can’t reverse type 1. Totally different from type 2.
oh so solly
I like NOW Super Enzymes, they seem to help. I am 3/4 C old, zero prescriptions, good cholesterol, BP is under control. Magnesium 600 mg/day, Vit C 3000 mg/day, Nicotinic acid 2.4 grams/day. Fishoil 2000 EPA/DHA per day.
Read up on Dr. Jason Fung, MD. He has reversed Type 2 Diabetes in a clinical setting — even among those dependent on insulin — without any other drugs, by intermittent fasting.
Srsly.
Age 63 eating meat, fish, breads, vegetables, fruits, nuts and some sweets. Modest intake of alcohol and not every day. Key is eating moderation, balanced diet and some exercise. I add in green smoothies with protein powder and extra magnesium supplements. Maintaining near ideal weight helps too. Still need to take a daily low dose BP med. Something will eventually get me off the topside of the earth however.
Without a certain amount of animal fat your brain will deteriorate. Eat meat.
I believe there is one great realization that all the promising diets are converging towards, which is as one gets older one should each much less, and stop subscribing to the three-meal-per-day eating pattern. This is what I'm trying to do now that the holidays have passed.
I know people who are in their 90’s. All their life they have eaten animal meat with no regard for the fat. The ones I know are Catholic. They still eat fish on Friday. Perhaps it’s the fish. Some tell me that the meat isn’t as tasty as it used to be. For that reason, they don’t eat as much of it as they used to.
Quite a few people have gone many years carnivore and done quite well - it’s especially good as an elimination diet for folks with autoimmune diseases & those with depression/bi-polar seem to benefit as well. I think Amber O’Hearn, who is well known in the carnivore community, has been carnivore for something like 10 years. Dr. Paul Saladino (carnivore!) has a book coming out in February called The Carnivore Code - here’s his website if you’re interested: https://carnivoremd.com/
Carnivore isn’t for everybody, but when it’s ‘good’ for someone, it seems to be very, very good!
Did the same for years and still mostly....when I avoid carbs almost entirely (less than 20-30 g/day) the weight falls off, my joints don’t hurt, don’t get hungry, and my allergies go away.
Getting wheat and sugar out did wonders for my health and I eat at least 5 lbs of rare, fatty beef (typically rib eyes) every week along with a couple lbs of clean bacon or sausage and 3 dozen pastured eggs. I’ve gotten back to eating better so far this year and have found that a few lbs of cashews a week makes a great substitute for the junky crap I was starting to crave again
Yep.
I don’t seem to have any problem whatsoever digesting animal fat. I can’t relate to the author.
