Dr. Westman is one of the most well spoken, thoughtful, and science focused doctors I’m aware of. He does not sugar coat (heh) the known science; it’s always worth while to listen to him

    So much nutrition science is interest group questionnaire epidemiology studies with dodgy food grouping (“burgers” is coded as meat) and rely on long term – 5 years – memory of meals

    I’m pretty sure there’s enough low quality science to vanish over short timespans

      YES! No policy or conclusion should EVER be based on food frequency questionnaires.

      OVER THE LAST YEAR? Who remembers over the last year?

      People are using poor quality data like this to say LCHF doesn’t work, when these people are not in ketosis… Bad faith science to push an agenda, upsets me

        I think the nurses study was 5 years. How many medium servings is 900g rib eye?

            I average just under a kilo a day, sometimes in a single meal when I didn’t eat enough the day before

            I ate a lot less when I was getting less fat, ate last leaner then too

            Elanoria – one of the Reddit carni mods – says she eats 3lbs a day
