Instead of trying a bunch of different conflicting methods for weight loss from these comments, I would recommend you instead first understand the science of it with:

• The Aetiology of Obesity
• Solving the Two-Compartment Problem

Same. For me, the big one’s my bank that requires its users to use Chrome, else it won’t let you log in. I got around this by using an agent-switcher extension in Firefox.

The study that your article references is a mouse study, so the relevance to humans is questionable.

In addition, fiber is shown to be beneficial to humans primarily when comparing the standard American diet to a high-fiber diet. This is likely because fiber is mostly non-digestable by humans (as we’ve lost the ability to digest fiber more than 2-million years ago unlike our closest living great-ape cousins), and acts as a physical barrier to the absorption of sugars and starches which also helps to lower insulin spikes.

If you do not eat a high-carb diet (such as a ketogenic diet), then eliminating the undigestable matter (i.e. fiber) from your diet is probably beneficial because you’ll be able to absorb more nutrients and get rid of constipation-related issues.

And non-plants like algae and bacteria.

Intermittent fasting is not a diet, but it can be combined with any diet.

Time doesn’t have to be 1:1 between a host and a simulation. The host can take as long as it wants to render the next step in a simulation, and any observers within the simulated universes would not be able to discern the choppiness of their flow of time.

According to Dr. Chris Palmer and Dr. Georgia Ede, you’re more likely to get better results by just changing your diet.

• What if you have two molecules of H2O that are below 0°C or above 100°C?
• What if you have two molecules of some other liquid substance that are also polar like H2O?

A wheelbarrow is useless here.

Just get a bigger wheelbarrow, easy.

Humans and dinosaurs absolutely co-existed (e.g. chickens). The misconception is that dinosaurs are extinct.

Dietary advice based on the food pyramid/MyPlate. Before the late '70s, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and mental illnesses were all rare in the general population.

We need to be eating fewer carbohydrates, not basing our diets around them. We need to be getting most of our calories from fat, not demonising it.

Thankfully, we have people like Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Chris Palmer, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Georgia Ede, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Paul Mason, Dr. Tony Hampton, Dr. Jason Fung, and others spreading this message.

Yes, fatty meat, or at least a ketogenic diet. See the revolutionary work being done by Dr. Chris Palmer and Dr. Georgia Ede for mental illnesses, including ADHD.

The carnivore diet.

• Avoid drugs (e.g. marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine)
• Get enough sleep (i.e. wake up naturally; no alarms)
• Regular exercise (primarily playing sports)
• Eat healthily (avoid sugar, avoid starchy food, eat lots of fatty meat and eggs)

From a non-American’s perspective, I think part of the mistrust comes from Americans have been through high-profile lies perpetrated by government agencies.

For example, a more recent one in the last few decades is the Food Pyramid/MyPlate that was/is promoted by the US government’s agriculture department. This has led to Americans in the late '70s/early '80s to start a war on saturated fat and cholesterol, and the rapid adoption of carbohydrates in the average diet. What has happened in the decades following is a rapid increase in metabolic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and mental illnesses — all of which were rare in human history prior to the '70s. While I’m glad Americans are waking up to the realisation of the mass brainwashing of what constitutes “healthy” food, I’m still upset that — due to the influence of America on the global stage — my own country has followed suit in adopting the US’s dietary guidelines to the detriment of our own health.
