Here is the latest edition of my weekly newsletter. This week we talk about the mass balance equation, the latest Cochrane report, Mask hysteria, and Ozempic and Wegovy. With an old video of Fauci when he still told the truth. And, Iris DeMent.
Some of us had already watched your talk directly from the "Low Carb Down Under" site on Youtube prior to your link in The Arrow. Very amazing new information that I have watched several times. Thanks for all your wonderful information
I got the chance to watch the video over the weekend and I think it is absolutely brilliant. And I enjoyed reading your further explanation. It's like an "ah-ha" moment when someone wakes from a dream and sees the details of a complex problem laid out. I've been reading your books, Gary Taubes, Atkins, and a very long list of others for twenty years and it seems like that just sums it all up. I went from 225 to 150 along the way and stayed there, so I knew low carb eating works. It's nice to have an explanation that cuts through the noise and makes sense of it all. Thanks.
I went from a size 18 to a size 12 in three weeks following Protein Power book guide. I also read Life without Bread, a translation of Leben obne Brot by Wolfgang Lutz, MD, published in 1967 about low carbohydrate nutrition.
Hi, managed to watch your presentation on YouTube before your post, due to suggestion of YouTube. So I don't count as a click on your blog, and suppose this applies to many readers of you.
Mass flux makes sense, combined with hormonal effects.
Don’t feel bad, Dr Eades that more people didn’t use the link to watch your video. I suspect many, like me, saw it in our YouTube feed right after it was posted and watched it before you posted your link. Your proposal is very intriguing. I really appreciate your expanding the topic in this week’s Arrow. That really helped me to understand the theory and details. Thanks! And good luck brushing up on your engineering math!! I am looking forward to more details in the future.
I had listened to your talk before The Arrow came out. I believe I saw it posted on Twitter. I was happy to see that you urinate more on a low carb diet. Because being on a carnivore diet, I was wondering! 😄 I am reading Gary Taube's The Case for Keto. I was eating protein before my strength training but I guess I'll go back to after. Thanks for the the review of your talk.
Thanks for covering your Low Carb USA Boca talk again, as you said you would last week. Maybe that is why only 6% opened the link last week.
I didn’t open it because I was at Boca, and as I told you there, I needed to view it again because I lost you at some point. I see now where I (and perhaps others) lost you: I missed when you flipped the kcal/g to g/kcal (4 to .25 & 9 to .11).
Perhaps, my mind was still distracted by the revelation that calories (energy) has no weight (mass), as demonstrated...and I missed that crucial slide.
Anyway, I offer this as feedback, as I imagine you will make this remarkable presentation again going forward.
Michael, an elegant dismissal of the "Energy in Energy out" for weight loss- the dimensions don't equate (unless you are doing nuclear fission or fusion). LHS is Kg and RHS is Joules.
(You can tell I did watch your Video!)
I really like your analysis of sliming foods. 38 years ago Biochem 301 Patsy Shaw told the class "Carbs are great because you can eat twice as much of them". Patsy followed her low fat diet and I was shocked years later to read that She died in a suicide pact with her Husband- She was suffering severe osteoporosis, he dementia.
I understand there is some evidence that a calorie restricted diet increases life-span. It would be interesting to know if this is actually due to a reduction in mass intake.
Also, I wonder what a fart in a balloon would solidify into when cooled?
Iris DeMent has a unique voice... like a warbling Southern night songbird! I thought she was a Kentuckian or Mississippian (from album Singing The Delta) but never looked her up.
First heard her on True Grit with the haunting Leaning on the Everlasting Arms rendition but my favorite is The Night I Learned How Not to Pray. Not a pretty story but such a cool song.
Another topic for PP2.0 - How much protein should someone eat? Doc. Cywes recently posted a YT topic on the metabolic implications for too much or too little and how a clever clinician (him?) might be able to discern the right amount. What says PP2 on this subject or is it too technical for your audience?
What creates a problem with this theory is that type of fat matters. Eat stearic acid rich fat with carbs weight regulates and appetite normalizes, eat N-6 rich fat with carbs you'll gain weight and remain hungry. People that do not pay attention to this important difference even low carbers (e.g. Ketoers mainlining pork fat, nut flours, chicken skin and even coconut oil) will often gain weight and cellulite despite an extremely low carb diet. Naiman MD has dealt with this by severely restricting carbs and fat but what he doesn't acknowledge is that at the weight loss end of his scale- are lean meats which retain very little fat at all- thereby eliminating the fat from chicken and pork that has the highest N-6. He says it's energy only which is a disservice. There is another problem with these theories- they don't delineate between broken metabolisms (highly saturated N-6 fat stores or liver or pancreatic damage) and healthy fully functioning metabolisms. The results will be different. Those who work hard to eliminate N-6 from their fat stores can often return to a normalized weight eating carbs and low N-6 fats freely as humans have done in all of history prior the industrialization of seed oils.
As is usual, this was the most interesting, engaging, and provocative piece I read all week, and I read a lot. Thank you!

Thanks for a great early Friday read here in Ireland. Looking forward to Protein 2.

Here's another take on that Cochrane study:

I watched your talk, twice. Fascinating!
