At 31, I completely cut sucrose, lactose and almost all carbohydrates out of my life. Took someone telling me to think of carbohydrates like heroin before I realized that the strong desire I have not to become painted as a drug addict could

My burb school rules are that they’ll only bus you if you are outside of 4 miles of the school as the crow flies. Even if there’s no possible way to walk there, my kids are stuck and I have no option but to drive them.

:-) my approach is just to not eat any sugar or starch but definitely agree with mechanism.

Yeah, extreme no sugar and no carb, almost pure carnivore. Haven’t had a bit of tooth decay since.

Hah I felt this same way when I discovered you can change your diet to basically completely remove all dental problems. I doubt society can possible change quickly enough for us to see the downfall of the profession.

I’m 4 years into carbohydrate recovery and strict keto. I expect to live the rest of my life this way. I have not experienced brain fog after my first few weeks of withdrawal.

I wouldn’t think of it that way! Think about the control you have now. My mother was so into sugar and had other medical issues and had all her teeth pulled and dentures by 35. I was born into an extremely high insulin environment and was m

I have a slow burn substack newsletter for the morbidly obese who are contemplating carbohydrate recovery. It’s never going to make any money and I don’t spend as much time on it as I want to but I’m glad I put it out there. https:/&#

Continual Medical Education (CMEs) are definitely during normal work days. They're also often at fancy destinations with hotels and mai tais. My father and other family have done them for years. They never had to take vacation days.

Interesting! Obviously I don't have research for this in either direction. I know a lot of people that take daily multivitamins that would still consider themselves to have "cravings".

:-) wow this is awesome. I'm assuming this is a pastebin because the actual list is secret information?

Ah ok, so from that perspective there _could_ be someone for which heroin is not addictive. That makes sense, although I don't think that this is the definition that most people use.

I've often wondered if the word "addiction" is formally defined enough to have discussions like this from some common ground. Does anyone know? There seem to be many different definitions depending on where I google. Reading

I feel exactly the same way for candy bars and orange juice, but it’s hard to shake the million stares thinking I’m insane.

Sorry, I don’t understand. What is the issue? I put correct in quotes because it was ineffective. I did not lose weight eating the amount of calories that the doctors calculated. Is that surprising?

Hahaha yes this is great. Similar with “Oh, you’re poor? Have you tried making more money?”

Almost pure carnivore, extremely strict keto. I try to eat as close to zero carbohydrates as possible and a stick of butter per day.

I agree. Neither you nor I made a specific comment in difficulty. Your parent comment stated it was disrespectful. I agreed and tried to use an analogy that would be considered both disrespectful and cruel by most people. In addition, I hav

Why not? It just means you eat a specific amount of calories and you’ll lose weight no?

Imagine the time before the formalization of dyslexia within medicine. It would have been very disrespectful and cruel to tell people who found learning very challenging something like “just try harder! It’s basic physics, the more you stud

I am one of those people. I appreciate you saying this. I have spent decades of my life trying to lose weight including following doctors orders word for word for 10 years. It only ended with gained weight despite their beliefs in “physics”

As a lifelong morbidly obese person, and I admit that this is anecdata, this is categorically not true, for me. I feel no normalizations. I feel no mob, on my side. Rather, I feel a gigantic mob on the "just lose weight you fat person&

Congratulations! I’ve been fruit free and almost vegetable free for 3 years and it’s been the best time of my life. I’ve lost over 200 pounds and kept it off for longer than I ever have in 3+ decades of weight loss attempts.

Yes, definitely. I feel this way as well. It's not ridiculous at all. Forced withdrawal is the only way to begin recovery and get back sensitivity. People are extremely scared of the word "addiction" though. I feel the same w

Can this service be used with preexisting recordings? I have family that are losing the ability to speak and I’d love to be able to give them that back somehow.
