Oh, that is already happening now. The average person in the west eats about 70% plant based foods, mostly ultra processed. In the US specifically corn subsidies mean corn is in every processed food, hence the ubiquity of HFCS (The C is for Corn).

You have a temper. You harassed me for running a diet community, you went into my other communities and downvoted everything because you were banned (by your own request) from that diet community. You called me out personally in one of your meme posts.

I don't hold it against you, it's the internet. But you are hardly a blameless actor here. As demonstrated by my direct history with you. You hold grudges and you like to fight.

Not around the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_meat#Around_the_world

And in the US it was banned in the context that people were selling cheaper horse meat as expensive beef - so the ban was more for food purity reasons then anything else.

And if you wanted to stop people eating meat, you would subsidize plant based food so by virtue of economics every person would eat at least 70% government funded plant food.

Depends, are we talking the highest retail price? Or clearance prices?

Let's take steam as an example, before steam existed I was a big pirate. Now that steam exists and it's so convenient I basically buy every game. But I only buy them after wish listing them and waiting until they get to like $5 or less. So I'm a bargain basement patient gamer.

For other things I'm the same way, so what would be the actual cost of a cheapskates pirate library? Flea market clearance DVD prices would be fair

Food noise is a term that makes sense to many people. Food noise is a great way to describe the unhealthy way many people think about food, and what they consider to really be food. But, food noise is not the problem, it is only the symptom of a much bigger problem.

Some people can combat and defeat food noise on their own, and some need help...

Dr. Ken Barry explains the concept of 'food noise', which is the incessant craving and preoccupation with unhealthy foods. He argues that food noise is a symptom of addiction to sugar and ultra-processed foods rather than a new medical condition. Barry critiques the pharmaceutical industry's response to this phenomenon, proposing that the solution lies not in medications but in dietary changes, particularly eliminating ultra-processed foods and focusing on whole foods, like beef, butter, bacon, and eggs, to break the addiction cycle.

Key Points

Definition of Food Noise

Food noise refers to the persistent cravings and thoughts about food, especially unhealthy options, that individuals experience shortly after eating. Dr. Barry emphasizes that food noise is not a new medical term but rather a symptom of deeper issues related to food addiction.

Marketing of Food Noise

The term 'food noise' gained popularity recently, coinciding with the approval of drugs like Ozempic. Dr. Barry criticizes the introduction of this term as a marketing strategy to promote pharmaceuticals that treat the symptoms rather than address the root causes, such as sugar and carbohydrate addiction.

Nature of Cravings

Barry points out that people generally experience food noise regarding sugary, ultra-processed foods, rather than whole, nutritious foods. He highlights the correlation between these cravings and an addiction to high sugar and carb diets.

Food Industry Manipulation

The video discusses how food manufacturers design their products to exploit human biology, using flavors and ingredients that trigger hunger and suppress satiety, leading consumers to overeat.

Pharmaceutical Solutions vs True Solutions

Dr. Barry warns against relying on pharmaceutical interventions like Ozempic for managing food noise, advocating instead for dietary changes to replace unhealthy eating habits.

Carnivore Challenge

Barry introduces a 90-day diet challenge of only eating beef, butter, bacon, and eggs, designed to help individuals break free from their sugar and food addiction. The challenge aims to reset hunger and satiety signals in the body.

Long-Term Health Considerations

The speaker emphasizes the risks of long-term pharmaceutical usage for managing hunger and satiety, highlighting the lack of safety research and suggesting that individuals may become unwitting participants in pharmaceutical experiments.

Encouragement for Dietary Change

He urges viewers to consider the dietary changes he proposes not only for personal health improvement but also to assist others suffering from food noise, stressing the large percentage of adults affected by ultra-processed food addiction.

A humorous 1980s workplace safety film that satirically highlights common office hazards by portraying careless employees as "thrillseekers" who recklessly ignore basic safety rules. Framed with ironic narration and exaggerated examples, the film showcases a variety of avoidable accidents—from tripping over open drawers and climbing on chairs to misuse of electrical equipment and improper lifting techniques. By emphasizing how these thrillseekers treat everyday office tasks as opportunities for danger, the film ultimately delivers a serious message: safety in the workplace is everyone's responsibility, and ignoring it—no matter how mundane the job may seem—can lead to real harm.

I don't agree with Cywes, he gives off the impression of being very confident on his speculations but the theory he presents is worth discussing.

If I understand it correctly -

  • LMHR Carnivores have low GLP-1 Response to food
  • This accounts for the increase in LDL
  • This is a risk? (he wasn't super clear) for carnivores
  • People in this LMHR Carnivore setting should eat carbohydrates (20-50g) to prevent the LMHR phenotype for optimal health

This appears to mirror Paul Saladino's experience where he wasn't getting enough insulin secretion on his carnivore diet.

Other's in the Carnivore space MD Baker/PhD Bart Kay - have spoken of needing a large enough protein bolus to trigger a insulin response. Whey Isolate has been recommended as a possible trigger for people having trouble eating enough protein.

We are well outside of the literature and measured clinical trials. We are deep into mechanistic speculation land.

I don't agree with Cywes the LMHR group has elevated risk, and the study he references while not being conclusive is also a prospective matched epidemiological study.

What are your thoughts on engineering insulin spikes?

WHY ARE CARNIVORES AT RISK FOR HEART ATTACKS?

Dr. Robert Cywes discusses the findings of the LMHR study, which indicates that individuals on a carnivorous diet are at the same risk for heart disease as those on a standard American diet. He elaborates on how high cholesterol and LDL levels do not correlate with plaque formation, while also pointing out possible increases in soft plaque among lean mass hyperresponders. The video emphasizes the importance of insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity, rather than just cholesterol levels, in understanding heart disease risk.

Key Points

LMHR Study Overview

The LMHR study, led by Dr. Feldman and others, analyzes individuals classified as lean mass hyperresponders who have high LDL and low triglycerides. The study found that high cholesterol does not correlate with increased cardiovascular risk.

Soft Plaque Formation

Contrary to expectations, the study revealed that lean mass hyperresponders experienced an increase in non-calcified plaque volume over time, aligning their risk of plaque progression with those consuming a standard American diet.

Cholesterol vs. Insulin Resistance

Dr. Cywes highlights that the real issue is not elevated cholesterol levels but rather insulin resistance caused by carbohydrate intake, suggesting that plaque formation may be a result of insulin suppression in carnivorous individuals.

Importance of GLP-1

GLP-1 plays a crucial role in insulin regulation, and its insufficient triggering in a strict carnivore diet can lead to elevations in blood sugar and insulin resistance, which may produce vascular inflammation and plaque.

Diet Recommendations

The doctor argues for the reintroduction of small amounts of carbohydrates in diets for those with insulin suppression to help prevent plaque formation and maintain healthier metabolic function.

Not sure if it's related, years ago I had a toe issue. Got some orthotics and started keto and it's been resolved, haven't really thought about it for a few years.

Yesterday it came back, and I'm trying to figure out what the trigger was

I have two theories:

  1. on Friday I had a bunch of pistachios. Something in the nuts may be encouraging inflammation. Maybe oxalates

  2. I've lost 45kg since I got these sandals so they are very loose and I find myself flicking up my toes while I walk so they dont fly off

Other than last Friday, I've been pure carnivore for a long time. Just a weird situation. I don't plan on repeating the experiment

Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients have been shown to possess an altered gut microbiome. Diet is a well-established modulator of the microbiome, and thus, dietary interventions might have a beneficial effect on CRC. An attenuating effect of the ketogenic diet (KD) on CRC cell growth has been previously observed, however the role of the gut microbiome in driving this effect remains unknown. Here, we describe a reduced colonic tumor burden upon KD consumption in a CRC mouse model with a humanized microbiome. Importantly, we demonstrate a causal relationship through microbiome transplantation into germ-free mice, whereby alterations in the gut microbiota were maintained in the absence of continued selective pressure from the KD. Specifically, we identify a shift toward bacterial species that produce stearic acid in ketogenic conditions, whereas consumers were depleted, resulting in elevated levels of free stearate in the gut lumen. This microbial product demonstrates tumor-suppressing properties by inducing apoptosis in cancer cells and decreasing colonic Th17 immune cell populations. Taken together, the beneficial effects of the KD are mediated through alterations in the gut microbiome, including, among others, increased stearic acid production, which in turn significantly reduces intestinal tumor growth.

Having just suffered a major carving attack yesterday (I won), this video touches on the very important topics of controlling urges. It's a super short 4m video.


How To Stop My Food Cravings For Good Are your cravings controlling you? In this video, Dr. Tony Hampton breaks down the real root cause of cravings—and it’s not just about willpower. Learn how ultra-processed foods hijack your brain's reward system, how dopamine drives the craving cycle, and how to finally rewire your brain for long-term control.

Using stories, science, and simple tools, Dr. Hampton helps you understand the dopamine-craving loop, the roles of stress, sleep, hormones, and gut health, and the power of nutrition—especially low-carb and carnivore diets—to quiet food noise and restore peace of mind.

You’ll also hear about Lisa, a patient whose nightly ice cream habit felt impossible to break—until she discovered what was really going on inside her brain.

How To Stop My Food Cravings For Good

Dr. Tony Hampton discusses how to effectively manage and overcome food cravings by understanding their root causes, particularly in the brain, and provides strategies for rewiring mindset around food. He emphasizes the impact of diet, sleep, stress hormones, and food marketing in creating cravings, and suggests practical steps to break the cycle of addiction to sugar and processed foods.

Key Points

Cravings are a brain issue, not just stomach hunger.

Dr. Hampton explains that cravings are driven by brain circuits rather than merely physical hunger. The brain has been conditioned to seek out rewarding foods, leading to behaviors that resemble addiction.

Stop the cycle by removing triggers.

He advises removing food triggers from the home environment. If unwanted food isn't available, it's less likely to be consumed, thereby helping to break the cycle of cravings.

Focus on nourishing foods.

Emphasizing the importance of consuming protein, healthy fats, and whole foods, Dr. Hampton recommends low carb and carnivore diets as effective strategies to stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce cravings.

Resist cravings to weaken brain circuits.

By resisting cravings and replacing them with healthier habits, individuals can weaken the neural pathways that reinforce cravings, ultimately leading to a reduction in their frequency.

Dopamine fast to reset taste sensitivity.

He introduces the concept of a dopamine fast— abstaining from sugar and processed foods for three days—which can help recalibrate taste buds and reduce cravings for hyper-palatable foods.

Avoid moderation traps.

Dr. Hampton cautions against the idea of moderating unhealthy foods, arguing that such a tactic can perpetuate the craving. Instead, consistent effort is required to break free from addiction.

Encourage self-compassion and resetting.

If someone slips up, they should avoid self-judgment and instead focus on resetting their habits. Understanding the root causes helps combat guilt and regain control over food choices.
