More diet fad posts.
Again, I have no idea what diet fads have to do with the stated relevance of this site. This is an opinion piece with little to no information beyond harping on one particular vein of diet ideology. I really hope these types of ideological off topic posts begin to be penalized and flagged soon.
- jschwartzi 11y agoI guess the point the author was trying to make is that extreme calorie restriction with a nutrient poor diet is bad for you, but I would be hard pressed to find anyone who disagrees. I guess he was trying to extrapolate from that study somehow but the article goes off the rails and drops a bunch of factoids about calorie restriction and diet and then closes by mentioning a study of dubious quality.
- plurinshael 11y agoFrom "What to submit" paragraph of the Guidelines page: "If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Not saying this article is the best in the world or whatever, but it discusses a complex system with a measure of nuance and grace. Metabolism possesses multi-linearities and non-linearities, and that we are so intimately tied into its processes makes it a decent place to being asking what those things even are. (Multilinear algebra being linear algebra's psychedelic cousin.) It's a fascinating, totally unsolved puzzle.
