I mean, it's just a comment on HN, I'm not writing a scientific journal article. Everything I stated in the original comment is information I have gathered and learned about over the years. Most people haven't read any books

Technically speaking, on a low-carb diet, you can drink all the diet soda you want. Although you'd have to see how they effect your insulin levels and such, as some people are effected by it more than others. There's obviously a l

It is very hard to hit 1800+ calories on a keto diet. You have to add a lot of fat to things. This means eating a little... Abnormally. Such as eating baked cheese, adding extra butter (any fat) to meals. Avocado is a great fat-packed vege.

I wasn't really implying that everyone should start a ketogenic diet. Just stating the success that I've had with it, and also noting several common misconceptions that are still largely heard today.

I don't find it expensive at all. Couple things to point out: 1. You will eat less, snack less, and eat out less. 2. Vegetables are cheap. 3. Some meats are very cheap. Pork is super cheap right now. 4. Cheese/dairy is fairly chea

The sugar in fruits is processed the same in our body as any other type of "refined" sugar. Whether that's table sugar, high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, fructose, whatever other names it wants to go by. Eating an actual fru

Indeed, everyone is different, and should consult a doctor before starting a diet. Keto is a very tough diet. However, scientifically speaking, keto will help pretty much anyone lose weight, it really works at the core level that our bodies

Big Beverage fruit juice may have added sugar. Regardless, fruit juice (which is fruity sugar water with no fiber), is terrible for us. Fruit was given to us in a high-fiber package, and should be consumed that way. The fiber also ensure we

Congrats! Weight loss will definitely slow as you work out and start to build up muscle too. I definitely feel way better off of sugar/carbs. Eating is a completely different ballgame now. On keto, you get fuller quicker, and when you&

I would suggest reading "Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease" by Robert Lustig. He goes into the science behind sugary diets and why they are truly so addicting. I'm talking about,

Literally, never. But I do go to Dunkin' Donuts quite often and get my large iced coffee with 6 cream, less ice, and no sugar.

Breakfast: 4 strips of bacon if I'm hungry.. Usually just skip breakfast and have 2 cups of coffee, extra cream, no sugar. Lunch: I eat broccoli and carrots with some dip. Salads are also good (avoid sugary dressings though!). Dinner:

If anyone has any questions about starting a keto diet (high-fat, mid-protein, low-carb), feel free to ask. :) Cannot recommend it enough. It simply just works..

As someone who has shifted to a sugar-free, high-fat lifestyle (keto diet), I can attest to the fact that sugar really is the ultimate evil in terms of health and nutrition. I've lost about 100lbs in 2.5 years... The only thing that I

I've been really liking PHP lately. PHP 7 has awesome new features and performance improvements. Of course, PHP isn't right for every application, but I feel like PHP needs to be taken more seriously, compared to Ruby and Python,

Ah yes, haven't finished that feature yet. The idea was to track when the game "ends" and no more changes were happening. The idea was to track the last 5 generation states and if they were repeating, stop the game. However,

I would recommend for larger-type websites, and not so much for performance-based applications. However, ignoring my own advice, we did build a todo list app powered by Drupal & React.js and it works pretty well: http://www.1

I've worked on many Drupal sites, and I would say the sweet spot is a client who is going to budget $10k+. Basically, under $10k budget means you should be looking at simpler, pre-baked solutions, like Wordpress, Squarespace, Shopify,

I've migrated two simple modules to Drupal 8, and created one specifically for D8. I can tell you that D8 is a much better setup on the programming side. D8 is finally following modern programming paradigms, such as dependency injectio

I would argue that Drupal's target is much different than Wordpress'. Yes, Drupal has a tiny bit of focus on small sites, but Drupal can't contend with Wordpress, not even close. Wordpress is much faster to setup and get a ni

Pretty much everything under the hood has been rewritten. It is a very different CMS than D6/7 was. Whether or not all those changes are for the better, is up to you to decide.
