Waking up is like peeling an onion. You get red pilled in one area of life and then start questioning others. For me, it was Gary Taubes “Good Calories, Bad Calories”. In 2011 I read it and went from the recommended low fat healthy standard American diet, which left me 60 lbs overweight, to a radical low carb diet that was going to kill me. Except I’m now slim and fit.
Now my LDL cholesterol is high, but my triglycerides are low and my hbA1C is very good. The doctor thinks I should be on a statin. Why? Everyone around me is prediabetic, whatever that means. What is usually means is that Big Pharma gets to reap the benefit of Big Food. It’s all brought to you by Big Media.
Then I found Dave Feldman and the Lean Mass Hyper-Responder group of people. People from all over the world who went low carb and have numbers just like me. What if everyone around us is eating the so-called “food” that is now available but ultra-processed crap and they are the “normal” values that I fail to match. But I’m the one that needs medication. Then how can I be in the best shape of my life?
I then look around me at the “news”. COVID vaccines are safe. Masks work. Science is settled. Your doctor is acting in your best interest. Your financial planner is there to help you. Go ahead, trust the outcome of our elections.
