To anyone out there with the âi can eat whatever I want without getting fatâ idea, yeah itâs not quite like that. Cholesterol and visceral fat are killers. So yeah, eat as much as you like but the healthy food factor applies to us all.
Your concept of cholesterol is well outdated.
The ancient idea: cholesterol is bad
The old idea: there is low density cholesterol which is bad and high density cholesterol which is good
The current idea: there is low density cholesterol which is returning unloaded high density cholesterol which is good; there is high density cholesterol which is good; there is small dense cholesterol which is bad. Thatâs all really hard to test for, so get a coronary calcium score instead
Cholesterol carries fat around your body for energy. If you eat too much carbohydrate too often you never give your body any chance to use the fatâŚ
(your body burns energy from most dangerous to least: alcohol immediately as itâs a literal poison; sugars (the main energy in carbohydrate based food) second as too much will destroy nerves - excess is converted to fat and stored to prevent too high concentrations until or unless that system is broken (type 1 diabetes) or over used (type 2) - ; then fat (excess fat is evacuated via faeces or vomit); then protein (protein tastes bad after you have had enough, so itâs hard to overeat))
⌠and so the cholesterol fails, breaking up and spewing out its load of fat. So the blood test that actually gives useful cholesterol information is high cholesterol with high free fatty acids (FFA) because the FFA is high because of the failed cholesterol
Thatâs a simplified version and isnât quite technically correct, Iâm not a scientist in that area so Iâm not good at recalling the full detail.
We evolved in an environment where most of the year there was mostly meat to eat, along with whatever perennial plants can be found in winter. In summer for a few weeks whatever fruit grew near you was available.
We havenât had time to adapt to eating grass seeds (wheat, rice, corn, barley, etc). We have only had those in any large amount for 10 000 years which is a blink of an eye evolutionarily. The native Americans of the Great Plains ate only buffalo, eating it fresh during mass kills in summer, and preserving tons of meat and fat as âpemmicanâ a 50/50 blend of pounded dried meat with melted buffalo fat, sewn into buffalo skins for the rest of the year. When Europeans first saw them they described them as more fine nude than a noble in his finest clothes, tall and built like Adonis. Learning all this I changed to eating only animal products (beef and eggs) and found my health improve incredibly. It helped that Iâm allergic to many grasses, including lawn, bamboo, and wheat, and cutting wheat out of my diet, along with all processed foods could only be good
You are correct on excess visceral fat. Itâll kill you. Those broken cholesterol molecules - the small dense cholesterol - is the stuff that collides with blood vessel walls and accumulates calcium. Chronic carbohydrate consumption gives you coronary artery disease.
TLDR; too much carbohydrate too often breaks the bodyâs fat transport system making the newly discovered bad cholesterol which causes heart disease
Calories are calories, if youâre not getting fat itâs because youâre not overeating too many calories.
Itâs possible to absorb more or less from your food, for instance someone who is lactose intolerant is not going to gain as much weight from eating the same amount of cheese as someone who is not
If anyone wants to understand HOW we measure calories, hereâs a quick video short
Getting fat isnât anyoneâs goal. Itâs always getting fit. Calories without nutrients will only lead to obesity.
Donât understand why every American wants to die on a hill announcing this BS.
Edit: Please learn about empty calories, donât be a sheep.
What the hell is a âroastie?â
I think it means an older woman, referring to her vagina resembling âroast beefâ, implying it and her to be undesirable.
Idk, something misogynistic
Your comment is helpful and appropriate in context, yet it is difficult not to downvote it due to its content.
Downvote OP for posting misogynist shit and not the person pointing out out (on request, no less)
Seems more like a term to describe someone who roasts other people.
Which is exactly what happened in the text.
Maybe a waitress managing her workload with lightly roasting the customers. With an experienced roastie thatâs actually funny and entertaining.
One of my favourite restaurants closed down over Covid. It had an awesome roastie from Berlin. I actually celebrated my wedding there. I miss him.
Not really interested in seeing incel shit on here even if itâs self-deprecating.
Not sure what your angle is but you can just block a community (or instance). Telling people what they can post usually doesnât work
This community sidebar clearly states:
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Tf is a roastie?
Incel misogynistic slur for âwomanâ, referring to their genitals as resembling roast beef.
