I am vegetarian on a very low carb diet. No fruit, no high starch vegetables. It is possible to eat zero added sugar and almost zero natural sugar. As mentioned above your body can synthesize glucose from protein, to the extent that on a ke

I've been on a ketogenic (very low carb, no sugar) diet for a little over a year. At the beginning of the diet, I started eating MORE than I used to, and tracking calories religiously, including weighing my food. I never miss a meal no

When they figure out who it was, THAT will be the top post on Reddit. Then they'll learn about "blowback."

Not to be a pedant, but one of the best things about The Wire is the language..."Omar comin!" or "knockos" instead of "narcos" (narco cops) or "Hamsterdam," a mishearing of "Amsterdam."

I work at a show Springsteen used to like, and he would come to see it live with some regularity. He'd sit in the kitchen until the host was ready to come out, at which point security would kind of just nonchalantly walk him in to a se

I have an early Anker battery, from a few years back. It sees use constantly, and still kicks ass. Their backstory is interesting, thanks for posting.

Well sure, but eventually you'd get kicked out of the house and have to go outside, away from TV. Now TV is in your pocket, wherever you go. They can kick today's kids out of the house, they go to the nearest spot out of sight and

I have a sketch of a theory that rattles around in my head. I'm fairly sure I'll be pilloried, but what the heck. It starts with a nation founded on faith and religion, of a group of people who are willing to kill and enslave base

Wow. This was gorgeous, thorough and horrifying. Thanks for posting.

I'm on a diet at the moment, tracking everything I eat. Someone who asked me how the diet was going told me last weekend "rodents eat grams. Humans eat ounces." I was left utterly speechless.

This. When I record the calories of everything I intend to put in my mouth, it's like flipping some previously undiscovered hunger switch. I can go from ravenous to "how many calories in that??" and drinking a glass of water

I'd love to see some form of universal dark mode or reverse mode on Macs and ios. Something that reverses backgrounds so I'm reading white text on black background. There are various workarounds, but it would be nice to not have t

This isn't news to me, but I like having a handy little article that I can send to people to point to and say "See? It's not just me. Science."

I don't understand this quote from their spokesman at all in relation to the headline: ""Us touting ourselves as a health halo - it's not authentic and it's not real," Taco Bell spokesman Alec Boyle says."

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was so sure I sat there wondering why I had never heard he worked on the bomb or how he was that old.

Maybe a little, but my general energy level was higher than before, if I took into account all the peaks and valleys I was having from my blood sugar being all over the place. But I did really try to pay attention to what I was eating, know

Wait, does it bother anyone else right off the bat that the fishing line in the pic accompanying the story is tied incorrectly around the eye of the hook? I'm the only photographer here? I'll see myself out.

For keto isopure makes a zero carb shake. I use it with Almond Milk.

I'm in the same boat, but I work in TV. Free food and sodas everywhere. Saved my butt a ton. On days when catering is going to be bad for me being keto/vegetarian, I do a protein shake. Or two for two meals and just have a light d

Two immediately easy things to do are to never drink calories and never drink artificial sweeteners: black coffee, plain tea, water. The rest is mainly just keeping track of what I put in my mouth.

I've done 4 months without sugar in any form (added or even fruit). I've lost almost 40 lbs, I feel great, I'm about the weight I was in HS (I'm middle aged). And even though I'm vegetarian and accustomed to being t

They've put pretty typical Apple-esque levels of effort into the entire chain, including financial shenanigans that got them in trouble with the EU. It'll be interesting to see whether they can make good on their promise to onshor

This kind of thread is exactly the reason I read HN every day. You folks all rock. You just cost me a lot of money, but it's for all kind of fun stuff I can probably use at work as an entertainment electrician. Thanks for the Hacker Bo

All the papers seem to have lost the bet on this one, there have been no prepared obits like with older musicians.
