One final thought, I like having a blood sugar, ketone, and blood pressure, testing outfit through these processes. You may feel different in unsettling ways, a quick test can confirm that you’re not headed for a hypoglycemic crash, even though it might feel that way. Also, if you start feeling bad back away from the regimen a bit. Have a couple tablespoons of juice to bring the blood glucose up a bit. Just a bit is literally all it takes. You’ll be amazed.

Fasting will likely address the gout irrespective to dietary choices. Consistently high levels of blood uric acid causes crystalline uric acid formations in low blood flow areas, typically the ankle or big toes. Time restrictive eating will lower the average uric acid concentrations in your blood. The spikes around meal time matter much less than the average. You might even be able to enjoy beer again! 😏

The only person that calls me "obese" is me. Doctors and pharmacists correct me saying "nah, you're not obese. You're overweight." But according to the charts, a BMI of 31 is obese. So I use the technical term. I don't care much about inferences about what it means. The fact is that I'm carrying 25kg of adipose tissue weight beyond what would be healthy, a bunch of it on my belly. And I have metabolic syndrome so it is of significance. But yes your BMI comments I concur with.

I think my metabolic syndrome is related to my weight, but the causation isn't strictly weight-causes-syndrome. Losing weight doesn't really fix it. I still had hypertension and high cholesterol at 78kg (although now I think that the hypertension was caused by sleep apnea which I recently discovered I have, and the high cholesterol runs in my family).

It would be nice if someone figured out "you react poorly to foods X Y and Z and they are causing gut inflammation and liver inflammation. Avoid those foods" and then I could do that and all my problems would go away. I do have gut inflammation - IBS. But after a lifetime of searching for magic food choice solutions I never found any. I'll keep trying though.

But ok. Bread, pasta, lentils. Got it.

Shit I should just do an elimination diet again. The tricky thing is you can add something and think there is no reaction, but there was it just was too subtle to notice.

I used to make sourdough bread but it made me far too hungry and I'd overeat that wonderful fresh bread. I'd rather go without the bread entirely I think. I agree with you on bran. Everybody used to sieve out the bran until revernd Sylvester Graham (of Graham cracker fame) insisted it was healthy. But without the sourdough process, bran is horrible for you. I always sieved out the bran and soured the dough.

I think food quality and choice affects inflammatory processes. But it doesn't affect body weight. At least I can make my body weight go up by eating junk food, but I can't make it go down by tweaking my current diet. And my point about this is that even if I force it down through any mechanism, I will be annoyingly hungry, which is not a nice way to live. And so I have learned to accept being overweight, while continuing to focus on a healthy lifestyle to try to forstall cancers and heart disease.

Addressing annoying hunger, is hungry to you the feeling of having an empty stomach or does your sense of smell increase in sensitivity and you feel motivated to go seek food?

Saturated fat inspires the release of the hormone leptin. Leptin is the only thing that produces satiety outside of having a physically full stomach. You might try adding medium chain triglycerides, MCT oil to your meal. It’s a healthy way to increase and prolong satiety. Our bodies process and store carbohydrate energy quickly as a survival mechanism for the foragers we once were, the working currency of our metabolism is saturated fat. It makes no difference if it comes from adipose tissue or dietary intake, utilization mechanisms are the same. Nearly everything you eat aside from fat is processed into blood sugar, including proteins. Keto diets miss the mark for a number of reasons and can damage your kidneys. Don’t control diet for weight management, control diet for wellness. Control the frequency of eating to manage your mass. 😁

So here are a few hard won pieces of wisdom from my own experiences and research.

It is actually not the case that fewer intake calories will result in weight loss. It is true for children, but not for us and here is why. Near constant eating results in near constant insulin release to control blood sugar, which without control will cause coma and death when too high. Eventually insulin is constantly present in the bloodstream, but the effectiveness controlling blood sugar is reduced by cellular insulin resistance. This is commonly called metabolic syndrome or pre-type 2 diabetes by the medical institution. In order to prevent high blood sugar coma, your pancreas releases more insulin, and your liver starts converting blood sugar to blood borne free fatty acids (FFA). As a result you get fatty liver syndrome and adipose tissue. This is all fine except for one thing: insulin in the blood blocks the fatty acid metabolic pathway, making it impossible for your body to utilize stored fat as an energy source and reduce adipose tissue. Understanding that, what is the solution then?

Fast for 72 hours. This will stabilize blood sugar and reduce blood insulin levels, while initiating autophagy, a cleansing process that reduces your chances of developing cancer among many other benefits.

When you begin eating again eat anything you want and as much as you want, it won’t be much at first, for one hour. Wait 48 hours. You may feel lethargic until the insulin levels in your blood drop enough to allow FFA metabolism. This is the “keto flu”. Maintain this regime until your BMI is where you want it, probably a few months.

Eat anything and as much as you want one hour out of 24 to maintain healthy body weight and chemistry. You will feel great.

Drink plenty of water, black coffee, or unsweetened tea through the process. Nothing that tastes sweet, even sweet tastes in your mouth will inspire a pancreatic insulin release. I hope this helps both of you, I have more biochemistry and physiological information to share if you’re interested. Be well!

Autophagy will also address gout eventually. Gout has been considered a disease of the wealthy until recent times, largely because average folks didn’t eat enough quantity or with enough frequency to have uric acid crystallize and accumulate in their joints. How is your kidney function?

This isn’t my conversation but you guys wear me out with your thinking and management. I’m older than both of you and have none of those problems. Fast for at least 72 hours, then tell me how you feel. I suspect you’re running the “keto flu” ridge line consistently by not doing either dietary regime consistently enough. My two sats anyway….

Watch out for cigarettes though. They’re far from pure tobacco. Stick to cigars.

Not quite, it comes out eventually, but I’ve had a deep ache from not letting it flow freely. It’s not pleasant, and an infection risk. Not the any thing ordinarily, vaginal sex, work. Easy to do masturbating. Just a heads up men. 😁

Seems relevant here, let the semen flow freely. Restricted ejaculation can cause problems too. The whole increased pleasure through restricted ejaculation while masturbating or using tension ring thing…..

This is the best deal I can find from a reliable US based seller. You get a slight discount if you order 16. Shipping was reasonable and very fast at two days from ordering to drop-off. And, for whatever reason, they didn't charge tax! So, even better.

Thank you!

So tasty, warm the Brie in an oven to soft but not melted, maybe 60C. Dip the apple slices like you would fondue, get a piece of cheese rind. It’s delightful.

Losses are unfortunate but expected, this is admittedly disturbingly macabre. Hopefully we’ll make the right changes and not see any more of this. Thank you. 🫂
