A reversal on carbs

[acptulsa]

Eh. Eggs are bad. Eggs are good. Egg whites are good (ditch the yolks). Egg yolks are an important part of your diet (ditch the whites; they have no value). Eggs are poison. Eggs are the perfect food.

Chocolate is bad. Chocolate is good. Chocolate is fattening. Chocolate has special enzymes that make you feel orgasmic. Chocolate is good but only if you eat one teeny square per day. Chocolate is only good when it's the snooty, expensive kind.

Beef is bad. Beef is good. Beef is fattening. Beef makes you grow boobies (not the stuff we feed to the cows; pay no attention to that). Milk: it does a body good. Milk: it's fattening; don't drink it! Milk: You can't get it raw, or the cops will get you.

I wonder what people would say if we could talk to them, those that lived so many centuries ago, and let them know that people would forget how to eat.

This one is chock full of vitamins, minerals and win.

Reversing Carbs ?

If the EPA were as fickle and metronome-like as the FDA, we'd have already reversed course and traded injectors for carbs--at least twice.

Einstein showed that energy=mass(speed of light)squared. When did he ever show that energy=mass? (I'm not an Einstein expert)

well, you just stated it.
If A equals B, B equals A.
2 = 2/1 . 2/1 = 2

 

[axiomata]

Einstein proved that mass and energy are the same thing. Our bodies mass in theory is the amount of energy stored in calories. If you put more mass/energy in your body than your body uses, you gain mass/stored energy.

You sound like a Keynesian dietitian.

But fat has twice the calories per gram as carbohydrates. Calories do not equal mass. And most of the energy the body uses is hydroelectric.

I'm not arguing the energy value of the different chemical compounds.
i'm just stating a physical fact.
The idea was explained very well in the tv series "The Universe: Season 4, Episode 8, Space Wars"
They were actually talking about the amount of energy released in anti-matter explosions which is 100% efficient.
But yeh, mass is energy, energy is mass. nothing is created, nor destroyed, it only changes form.

its physics, nothing about it inflationary.

Keynesianism in terms of simplifying a complex system to a mass-balance-like C + I + G + X − M = Y aggregate equation that ignores all the feedback loops in complex systems such as the human body or the economy.

The transfer of energy is mathmatically easy. Its like complaining that physics is keynesianism because they simply laws of nature in simple proofs. E=MC^2.

Our body is powered by energy, that energy is transfered throughout our body in chemical reactions. If more energy goes into your body system than is used will lead to an accumulation of energy.
You could also measure the equation using mass. You put more mass into your body than comes out of it.. you gain mass. how much mass is determined by what you eat. Somethings pass through you, some things are stored in you as potential energy sources.

Yes, it is that simple. Calories in/calories out. 1st law of thermodynamics... everything in nature follows this law. Your body is the system. There are no fat starving ethiopians. Its no different in simplicity than the austrian tenant that manipulation will cause negative distortion in the market.

The caveat is that the body is very sneaky and miserly with its energy. We developed this way to survive periods of food shortage. The way the body processes this energy, or reacts to it is, indeed, very complex.

There is no magic to dieting. Why does the atkins diet work for a significant portion of people? It has nothing to do with ketosis. Fat and protein are very filling compared to carbs and take far longer to digest than carbs. An abrupt change in diet composition will cause them to eat less calories overall, yet feel full. The body cant physically take in more food so hormones activated by a full stomach override the hormones indicating that not enough calories are being consumed. Why does it not work for some people or stop working? The body is very good at adapting. The body does not want a calorie deficit. We are genetically predisposed to overeating in times of plenty. It will adjust to take in more protein and fat, despite its very filling properties, and eliminate the calorie deficit. Some people do this more quickly than others.

Why do people get fat on carb heavy diets? Carbs, especially simple carbs, digest relatively extremely quickly. This causes an empty stomach to occur much more often, on top of blood sugar spikes/crashes. Grehlin (roughly; stomach fullness sensor hormone) and blood sugar sensors (insulin and others) are better at activating dopamine receptors than leptin (roughly; calorie intake sensor hormone) in this case. Basically you will feel like shit unless you eat more. The body is "tricked" into eating more calories than it needs.

All fad diets that work are simply fooling your body into consuming less carbs.

Fat cells are more than just energy storage... they're also used to store toxins away from vital organs. Keep that in mind when thinking about this stuff, and it makes everything clear.

I don't know if this will help anyone, but a friend sent me this recipe and it seems like a decent start for making low carb bread.

I made one batch and it was pretty rubbery, but I've messed around with it some and improved it greatly while only upping the carbs slightly.

I'm also selling the buns I make locally as an agorist/free-market business. There definitely seems to be a market for it.

Srsly? E=MC(squared) is the same as E=M? I don't see how the communicative property (which you illustrated) explains how E=M.

Actually yes. The speed of light (c) is often simply set to 1 since the equation does not depend on any specific system of measurement. Energy always has mass; mass always has energy. Therefor, more energy = more mass.

see post above.
and if i'm wrong, you'll need to inform Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan about that revelation too.

 

[Ninja Homer]

energy = mass, the speed of light squared is the conversion factor. Move mass very fast, and it becomes energy; slow down energy, and it becomes mass.

Does anyone know of a source that can attribute the attack on fat to the FDA?
