Close, but not quite. I'm more german than austrian. Actually I'm doing my PHD on adherence to healthy habits and behavioural change (preventative medicine with a focus on exactly these things). ;) The whole willpower shtick is a bit overp

Hm, I'm wondering: How does your diet look like? IIRC you already supplementing vitamin D. Love your work (esp. Talks at Microconf) btw.

Control your eating. More Protein, more veggies. Eating in a way that is healthy and keeps your weight down is not expensive. A few bodyweight exercises can be done several times a week and take only a few minutes. It's possible to be in go

Chemo sucks, because of the sides and the low improvement in meaningful outcomes. It's still one of the best treatments we have once As someone that is in preventitive medicine: It's a bit more complicated. But one of the hardest part is c

But there are a bunch of studies on useful stuff. Inositol, Theanine etc. And we still don't do studies because interests don't align well for it to happen quickly. My point being that some Alt Med Practitioners actually help. I don't like

by MDS100 14y ago
I am on my way to my MD, I know. But in the real world people do use "Alt Med" for treatments that have shown efficacy already. It takes far longer than expected until this stuff becomes part of practiced medicine though. In the end I don't

Some things do work and are not yet accepted in medicine. Herbal medicine etc.pp. Often it's just hard to patent and/or isn't financially lucrative to get FDA approval. Also lifestyle in general is terribly handled in medicine. MDs know nea

Yeah this Ancel Keys' shtick is great marketing from the paleotards.

TEF: 20-30% is not negligible. There is even a group of scientist trying to change the default value to 3,2 kcal/g. Yeah, weight loss is greater because of the bigger WATER loss. (1g Glycogen = 3g Water) Which results in greater intial weig

Fats and Carbs don't vary that much regarding satiety. Mostly protein and fiber, as I said. How adipocytes "should" behave depends on circumstances... Insulin resistance is probably more a defensive mechanism against the deleterious effects

People just call clean, whatever they like/think is beneficial. Everything they deem harmful is unclean. So it's useless. Regarding Crossfit: There are some very valid reasons I think very badly about CF. It has amazing marketing and can o

There is needless damaging going on. No screening and a retarded or no progression at all. With bad technique. If it would be just useless training, that would be ok. Most Fads are like this. But this actively harms people : see high rep bo

I think you are mixing up high volume pump training with HIIT. If I say I swim, but I actually bareknuckle fight with other guys. Would it be correct to call this "swimming"? Kind of weird to just rename an activity. Regarding empty stomac

Meh, the degree of processing can be hard to measure. Yes, I agree. But it's far more useful than clean and unclean. Because these are fantasy. http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/should-you-be-... People just call clean, whatev

Oh we do have answers on many questions. Just not 100% sure, because detailed experiments on humans are kind of hard to get through the ethic committee. Reading the available Pop science books/articles on nutrition however will probably jus

Oh dear, intervall training. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/stead-state-versus... Spillover can be very significant, regardless of training. It depends on the makeup of the trainee. The body doesn't work like that (first muscle

@enraged_camel: Yes, agree. Ad lib it's far easier to not overeat. My point being, that "clean" is too vague and misleading. Why not say unprocessed. Agree on the crossfit comment.

Yeah, you are referring to insulin sensitivity and calorie partitioning. Still depends on genetic makeup (insulin sensitivity can vary 10-fold). P-ratio isn't the same for everyone. So not correct what you are saying (energy does not only g

You are deliberately misinterpreting to get some pity and avoid the hard work of changing what you can control. Life is not black or white. Women do have very similar problems to men. With your attitude you'll just filter out the people tha

Oh god. What the hell does "clean" mean. That's orthorexic nonsense. Unprocessed foods can be very helpful, but they aren't magically different kcal, If you eat too much potatoes and nuts (instead of cake) you'll still gain the same amount

You are wrong. Too much energy dense food makes you fat. Fat will make you fat if you overeat (because the fatty acid molecules from your food will be stored in your fat cells). It's not as easy as "more carbs" = obesity epidemic. There ar

Depends on the pills. Melatonin for sleeping is great for example: http://examine.com/supplements/Melatonin/ http://examine.com/blog/better-sleep-probably-no-caveats/
