Diet, like pharmacology or a surgical knife are tools, it's the mode of deployment that makes them successful Pharma is effective and v profitable, surgery a distant 2nd and diet works but out in the wilderness financially Innovation may change that, all we can do is try 🤞

I've had dozens of patients tell me they had lost 50-100 pounds 4-5 TIMES in the past 10-15 years using keto and/or fasting. They lose and regain the same 50-100 pounds. Low carb and fasting diets will never solve the obesity epidemic. Nor will any diet for that matter.

Huge thanks to @Nerdrotics and @TheCriticalDri2 for the last couple of weeks making fantastic content out of the mess that is #TheAcolyte (I didn't watch any of it). I find it amazing how Disney is now making money for Google 😂 I may even go buy the book @audible_com recommended

Working on the foundation for my MSc thesis on the female athlete triad this paper by @CassidySports stood out. The RED-S questionnaire in particular is something that I believe will become a very useful tool in screening. #femaleathlete https://t.co/fEy7nWzPrH

Great study! 1) best evidence yet that meal distribution doesn't matter that much 2) the upper limit of what our muscle can use - higher than we thought! Unknown 1) what this means long-term 2) whether this translates into gainz 3) the balance of protein in muscle - not whole

I've listened to this podcast 3 times and found every piece of it insightful @BubbleCoaching 👏 It's spurned several more interesting discussions including me packing in lifting during lunchtime to chat with with a passing @murphm95 at @ATUDonegal_ https://t.co/kutrFNsHVA

I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity of continuing to study what I love doing. I spent a while looking at a Masters in sports and delighted I went with the team in ATU Donegal in the end. So far the course has been well above expectations, looking forward to the thesis 💪

Congratulations the group from #UniversityofOttowa on an excellent study showing that a subgroup of patients with obesity don’t respond to diet interventions despite their best efforts! @ChantalPileggi, @meharper_ottawa https://t.co/2GypdXzS08

Those who fall in the bottom 20% for rate of weight loss while following a low-calorie diet are considered to have a "diet-resistant"-type of obesity.

Taking a break from social media, two weeks minimum. Insta became toxic yesterday and it's definitely the right window for some time away from it all while I celebrate a special week with my wife to be 😉 Be kind everyone 🙏

High triglycerides are a worry A new consensus pathway from The American College of Cardiology seems to suggest cutting carbs is part of the answer. Excess glucose it turned into triglyceride so this would make sense. Diet is looking ever more important https://t.co/NUGya1XAL1

When the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing 🤯 The farcial handling of all this by the government would be hilarious if it wasn't for the huge negative impact it puts on the real lives of folks in hospitality Huge respect for the patience of these owners 👏

We were told, clearly, that the largest group could be 6 people and it must be table service. Now the AG has been wheeled out to say that it meant 200 people standing. I can safely say, that sadly, the government has now lost the room. This is just Animal Farm.

Exercise alone has been shown to be a ineffective way to lose weight. However metabolic health is more than just losing weight, and this article highlights this brilliantly. https://t.co/1b42EwFOVo
