But the details is biology. If we really understood biology, or even just precisely what aspects of a given phenomenon we need to investigate and how in order to understand it, we wouldn't have wasted a decade trying to reduce CVD by

> Carb-heavy diets are tied to grain-heavy cultivation. Not as grain-heavy, at a national level, as if grains in the diet were replaced with animal products. A calorie of beef was required quite a few calories of grain.

At first approximation, sure, a diet that can be sustained and keep you alive indefinitely is better than one that would eventually lead to your demise due to insufficient calories or essential nutrients. However, a diet that varies in how

We don't yet understand the endocannabinoid system in great detail, but all signs point to it having critical roles in a number of physiological processes including memory, mood, fertility, immune response, appetite etc. Cannabinoid re

To be fair, your reply wasn't very helpful when I was asking about specific causes of rapid weight loss induced by micronutrient deficiency that wouldn't manifest as other disease states that could make this scenario remotely plau

At that point you are just kinda throwing spaghetti at the wall in an 'anything is possible' kind of sense, neither of those are very parsimonious explanations. Besides the fact the diet isn't asking suggesting anyone not sup

pretty remote possibility, unless you have a deficiency in mind that manifests pretty quickly and causes rapid weight loss and doesn't cause systemic disease.

I imagine there's probably some direct impact to muscle anabolism as well, since the anabolic hormone insulin has a low and stable profile on keto. Really interesting though to hear how your power increased. Taking carbs on big effort

2200 kcal of potato gets you over 60 grams of fibre, I don't reckon that is the issue with an all potato diet.

Did you start sedentary and with a bit of extra weight? It would make sense if you started strength training at the same time and benefited from 'noob gains' Also the other fellow might be referencing EVOO's low smoke point,

> complex carbs are harder to burn, so they are fattening, so I have gained some weight. That isn't how it works. A calorie of complex carbs is the same energy as a calorie worth of glucose.

Or just preference. I just would be bored and unsatisfied on a real keto diet, I'd rather fast or die an extremely low cal diet on raw veggies.

There's nothing inherently unhealthy about being in a temporary state of negative energy flux (unless you are already underweight or deficient in an essential mineral or something)

> Losing weight isn't causal to being healthy In many ways it certainly is. Knees don't go bad because they are carrying excess serum triglycerides that just happen to correlate with body mass.

Astute point. Similarly in pools of high level athletes you can't find correlations between sports success and certain traits that are well understood to promote performance. It would be too expensive to maintain many generations of gi

The teleology is just shorthand, scientists aren't actually assigning agency. It's still possible to discuss drivers of selection pressure though, sometimes just easier (especially in sci comm) to explain some things quasi-teleolo

That was kind of Harari's point when using that lens in Sapiens, it wasn't that the corporation was some flimsy imaginary concept, it was that it is a fiction in the same way democracy or religion is.

It's useful from the standpoint it was explained in Sapiens (like how the fiction of the LLC allowed certain innovations) but not so much in this context. You can believe in the corporation or not, the important thing is that you won&#
