GAINZZZ and BRAINZZZ

Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise, publicizes a study. The experiment wanted to determine which of three diets -- low-carb (keto), low-fat, or vegan -- would produce the least weight gain on an overfeeding diet, with one single male subject stuffing his face with 5,800 calories per day. (The average caloric intake for men is something like 2,800 to 3,500 or something.)

To underline: This is a study with just one participant, undergoing three different regimes.

@bigfatsurprise
Is weight all about calories-in vs. calories-out?
-->An overeating case study: A man ate 5800 calories/day for 3 weeks on 3 different diets.
Resulting weight gain:
Low-carb: 1.3 kg
Low-fat: 7.1 kg
V. low-fat vegan 4.7 kg
Obviously, not all calories produced the same results.
Subject felt best, had most energy on low-carb. Experienced no hunger on low-carb or vegan diets. Was hungry on the low-fat diet (!). Asthma, brain fog, sleep problems returned on low-fat and vegan diets. Excessive bathroom use was "unsettling" on vegan diet.
More info: Exercise was the same. 3-mo. washout period in between each diet to return to baseline
At pub time (2021), this was the only overfeeding experiment comparing low-carb to high-carb diets....

The study is here.

Leftwing freaks are proud of their culture and how they've changed society to valorize their degeneracy.

Here's are the victims of their culture war offensives: Almost one-in-three adolescents are now seeing shrinks for mental health issues.

In findings that suggest more young Americans struggling with mental health issues are getting the help they need, a new poll shows that nearly a third of American adolescents and teens received some sort of mental health treatment in 2023.
That translates to over 8 million young people between the ages of 12 and 17 getting counseling, medication or another treatment, the survey from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) found.
"We're pleased to see that more people received mental health treatment in 2023 than the previous year," SAMHSA Adminstrator Miriam Delphin-Rittmon said in an agency news release announcing the survey.

You're pleased by this?

You're not even going to try to hide it, huh?

Money in your pocket! Nevermind how it gets there.

Among adolescents, the biggest increase from 2022 was in the number of those getting mental health medications: Nearly 14% of those age 12 to 17 received such a prescription in 2023, up from 12.8% the year before.
SAMHSA officials said they saw the increase shows that mental health treatment is finally being destigmatized.

It's not depression or alcohol or drug abuse that's driving these increases in childhood mental illness -- those stats are more or less flat.

So what is it?

Speaking of BRAINZZZ: There's new hope for treating Alzheimer's.

Scientists have identified a potential new target for treating Alzheimer's disease that works by restoring the brain's own "self-cleanup" process.
The target is already used in preexisting Parkinson's drugs and demonstrated partial reversal of cognitive deficits in aged study mice.
...
There is no known cure for Alzheimer's, although scientists believe that it is caused by the abnormal buildup of proteins in and around the brain cells. One of the major components of these abnormal aggregates is a protein called amyloid beta.
Amyloid beta is produced when proteins in the brain misfold and clump together. These clumps initiate a variety of damaging chemical reactions around our brain cells that damage and eventually destroy them.
Normally, our brain's cellular cleanup crew, which includes an enzyme called neprilysin, clears away any excess proteins and cellular debris.

"Neprilysin has been identified as the most potent amyloid beta degrading enzyme in the brain," Naoto Watamura, a research fellow at the UK Dementia Research Institute at University College London and the RIKEN Brain Sciences Center in Japan, told Newsweek.
However, preliminary evidence has shown that, as we age, levels of neprilysin in the brain tend to decline. Studies have also shown that genetically engineered mice that do not produce this enzyme develop very high levels of toxic amyloid beta protein clumps.
But while these findings suggest that neprilysin is a key player in the onset of neurodegenerative disease, methods to target and upregulate its activity have remained elusive--until now.
In a new study published in the journal Science Signaling, Watamura and colleagues from the RIKEN Brain Sciences Center screened a range of different candidate compounds and found one molecule that was able to upregulate the activity of this essential enzyme: dopamine.

"I was [surprised] because dopamine, which is likely to be the central role of Parkinson's disease, could have the potential to treat the aspect of Alzheimer's disease pathology," Watamura said.
Their findings may also offer insights into the established associations between dementia and mental health disorders related to low levels of dopamine.
Further research is needed to confirm these findings in humans, but the researchers are hopeful that their results may offer new targets for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

There's another new drug -- that just got blocked by the FDA for use in the US, but which is approved in 34 countries -- which supposedly is very helpful for sufferers of Parkinson's.

A little scienZZZ news for ya: A 500 million year old fossil of a larva has been discovered, with an intact brain.

Regime media immediately pronounced the 500 million year old fossil "sharp as a tack, probing, and in-command."

3 GAINZ:

I switched from weight loss to weight gain.

I did this earlier than expected a couple of weeks ago because I had a scare one night. I woke up to chest pains. They went away after I vomited, so I suspect it was GERDS related and nothing like a heart attack. Still, scary enough to say, "I've taxed my body enough."

So, I eat a few soft-boiled eggs every morning after my workout, a half-breast of baked chicken, a bag of broccoli, and some peanuts for lunch, and then whatever Dolley makes for dinner.

With so much eating, I've gained...2-3 pounds? Really not much. It's weird how much you can eat and not gain if you're active.

I strength train six days a week (lowest day is Wed, 20 minutes total, highest is T, Th, Sa when I do 60 minutes total), plus my 14,000 steps everyday.

30 I’ve been an avid distance runner (well… jogger) for 22 years now and I love it. I think it does more for my mental health than anything else, but it can’t hurt physically….. I’ll admit tiny doubts though as I watch the Olympics. The distance runners (even middle distance like 1500m) look almost scrawny and unhealthy compared to the other athletes. IIRC the running enthusiast Jim Fixx died young. I wonder what studies say about long term benefits of running vs say walking….. walking doesn’t do it for me; zero endorphins

Then you'd love carnivore. Eggs are a staple and pretty much the only thing that offers any type of variation. Thankfully I've come around on them because I pretty much add them to everything.

Then, I take out however many I'm eating for the day, crack the shells, douse the eggs in hot sauce, and eat.

It's really weird, but it's the one part of my day that I look forward to most. Seriously...even now, I'm looking forward to doing it tomorrow morning.

Chuck Norris finally got to me. I watched so many damn infomercials for the Total Fit Gym I finally said what the heck. I found one through FaceFu*K Marketplace for so cheap I thought it was a scam. So other than hauling it home and it taking up some space, I'm not out anything.

What I really like about it is that you can work almost every muscle in your body. And can vary the resistance by the changing the incline.

You watch the commercials and figure it's just more snake oil, but c'mon, it's CHUCK NORRIS for crying out loud. He wouldn't do me wrong, would he?

I did the exercises too, and got stiff orthotics since I always buy cheap floppy shoes. I got the impression that my feet were splaying all over the place so I focused on walking at the best efficiency and that seemed to fix all of that.

My thought is that, as fats and salts and sugars are necessary for the human metabolism, and were uncommon back then, that the people who found them tasty and would eat them whenever they got them would tend to be survivors.

Had old milk a couple of weeks ago so I made paneer and pressed it in my tofu press. Got a lot of whey and a good sized block of fairly firm cheese. Both of which tasted extremely bland despite the lime juice and salt used in making them.

I wanted to use the whey in my drinks so I added homemade fruit vinegar when I would mix up the drink. That worked.

The cheese I cubed and put in the marinade I'd made for soy eggs, along with a bunch of salt. That seems to have worked as well.

187 A few big announcements on the cancer immunotherapy front. The FDA approved pembroluzimab (Keytruda) as a first line treatment in June along with Imfinzi (durvalumab). They also just approved Jemperli (dostarlimab-gxly). Immunotherapy greatly improvesoutcomes when paired with certain chemotherapy drugs for specific types of cancer. Having different options is important for many reasons, one of which is that some patients have a reaction to various drug formulations and therefore require alternatives. Some of these first line treatments have around a 70% effective rate, depending on the cancer and demographics.

223 Human bodies are created or adapted to burn fat for fuel, that's what adipocytes are for. But the pathways for upregulation of amino acids are atrophied and disused. Constant, chronic overexposure to calories in carbohydrate form to excess, results in a system awash in hormones like Insulin lead to fat storage, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and eventually full blown diabetes. It is not "natural" to eat several times a day with thousands of more calories than necessary for maintenance.

Even at the cellular level, the tiny mitochondria and little 'factories' included in the individual cells, can have a preference for running on glucose. It's not too tough to see how chronic overexposure to sugars could upset gut bacteria and cause intestinal issues. Thow in some industrial in-digestable fats, some artificial sugars and weirdo molecules, and high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and sodium levels off the chart.

Cutting back to sensible meals and frequency alone means the digestive organs get a break. One will naturally gravitate over time to high quality ingredients, simple recipes at least, that will provide staying power in terms of feeling full or what they call "satiety".

At least 1g of high quality protein with requisite bcaa per pound of body weight (180-200 daily).. 90+ minutes of intense physical exercise daily (was ducking my 10k with 40 lb vest, will resume when fully healed) Resistance training 6x weekly, with 3 different workouts twice a week. I’ve had to reduce the resistance training- no diios, pull ups, chin ups, sit ups, squats, weighted toe touches, or weighted trunk twists. It I did add back in push ups Wednesday.

Everyone knows sugar is evil, but I just learned recently about its greatest sin!

refined white sugar (typically derived from sugarcane) is not vegan due to the common practice of using animal bone char in the refining process. This bone char, a by-product of the meat industry, is used to whiten and purify the sugar crystals. As a result, many vegans choose to avoid refined white sugar.
