The cure for most cases of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) requires fat loss. This thread will discuss research showing restoration of carbohydrate tolerance in those with T2DM through addressing the underlying pathology (ectopic fat) rather than just focusing on symptom management.
I know I post a lot about visual presentation… and that’s because it matters. A lot. It’s not a superficial metric. How someone treats their body says everything about how they think, how they operate, and what they value. Discipline, structure, and self respect show up on your…
Losing excess body fat is literally one of the best ways to improve insulin resistance and countless other risk factors. It should 100% be the goal.
Losing weight isn't the point. Reducing insulin resistance is the point. It just so happens that reducing insulin resistance often correlates with losing weight.
This is 100% right. Masculine energy pursues. Feminine energy responds. A man’s healthy obsession ignites the woman’s devotion. That’s the natural polarity. If he’s not obsessed with her, she can’t soften into him. Period. Most of the replies are just bitter little incels…
Men shouldn’t be settling. Period. But I’m big on personal responsibility, which is why I’ve always had a strict rule: I don’t fuck with men who aren’t clearly obsessed with me. Too risky.
Mr. Independent has been unbothered by me since birth. Barely cried as a baby. Went straight from crawling to running—like he had better things to do than linger in milestones. Some days I wish he were just a little more cuddly. That he’d melt into me the way some babies do. But…
No, this rhetoric is loud, performative, and obsessed with domination, but ultimately hollow. The phallic man is ruled by his ego. He postures, conquers, consumes, and constantly needs external validation (status, women, submission, etc.) to feel powerful. This is exactly what…
Feminine energy is fluid by nature, like water. Adaptive, flowing, and powerful, but formless on its own. The masculine is the container. The structure. The cup that gives the water shape, direction, and purpose without trying to change its nature. This is why when a woman…
I used to get irritated by rhetoric like this… it would grind my gears. In service to a man? It sounded like erasure. Like my life was supposed to revolve around someone else’s mission while mine disappeared into domestic obscurity. I couldn’t articulate it at the time, but I…
I had three carnivore folks tell me the DRIs don't apply to them in my last post. No evidence or empirical basis, of course. So weird. It's like they know a pure meat diet without other animal or plant foods is nutritionally inadequate, so they have to make up this cope.
@AlexJLeaf no scurvy in the Inuit can easily be explained because the Inuit ate fresh/frozen raw meat and organs along with cooked (boiled) meat and organs. The raw/fresh meat and organs contains more vitamin C versus grocery store meat. The skin of whales is also quite high in…
I'd honestly expect more people who follow a carnivore way of eating to call out this type of nonsense. The amount of absurdity that exists within the carnivore circle is not much different from that in veganism. In both cases, you end up with just a few intellectually honest…
Every single nutrient needed for human health is found in red meat. Even if you assembled the best of the entire plant kingdom, you'd still end up short of key nutrients. That should give you an idea of whether we function better as plant-based or meat-based
Excellent first guest. I've known Stephan for a long time. He's a solid rock of information if you want to cut through the bullshit.
