HAVE YOU FORAGED ETHICAL CRUELTY FREE PALEO DINNERS FROM TEH BATHROOM? Then you know nothing~!

The paleo hipster olympics have a new champion: MELISSA MCEWEN.

Let's be honest; she was already the reining queen of paleo hipsters. With her artsy lifestyle blog photographing repugnant but trendy "paleo" chow, her trust fund sponsored european vacay, relocating to hipster mecca Brooklyn (previously only home to "Guidos" and various other ethnic stereotypes), and her mind boggling certainty/arrogance regarding every single subject ever... was there ever really ever any competition? McEwen has this hipster olympics thing on lock.

There is a core driving need in spoiled wealthy youth to chip through the vanilla crust of their wantless lives and pretend to live on the "fringe"... rough + slum it, and/or return back to earth... without ever leaving the security of their dad's amex card behind, of course. Paleo catches many loons in its net, but this type of butterfly is a Melissa McEwen: your standard american trust fund hipster. They usually become uber liberal vegans, but I'm told cavesters are the new vegan, duh (see above).

A picture speaks a thousand words. For your entertainment + education I present a taxonomy of the american hipster:

http://hipsterorhomeless.com/

The reason the phrase "hipster or homeless" exists, is because hipsters are generally spoiled, wealthy brats who have a quarter life crisis in college, and much like young Siddhartha did, decide to spend the rest of their days cosplaying like the very down and out. When one has never had to want for anything from the moment they were shat out into the world, it creates this paradoxical desire to go on "deprivation vacations"... it involves such superficial sacrifices such as dressing like a skid row addict, for example, or, living in a developing neighborhood shithole (but, only with your other wealthy / cool /artist hipster friends of course, lol, not with REAL poor people who have no choice in the matter, that is totally not trendy!!!)

However, McEwen really just upped the hipster bravado a notch never seen before by human kind. It practically borders on psychosis with her recent escapade here. BITCH FORAGED BATHROOM MOLD, AND ATES IT. ATES IT!  McEwen doesn't just wage war on middle aged anarchists, but she wages war on bathroom molds, too.
I mean, eating WTF parts of bacon animals and hamburger animals is one thing. Cavesters have been doing that for years, it's old hat by now. I guess, like a sex offender, you keep having to up the ante to maintain the original thrill garnered by initiating the cavester cult. Eventually you find yourself scraping mold off of your bathroom floor, "foraging" for tomorrows dinner.  
I mean, what the hell. Eating mildew, fucking what?
This disorder needs zyprexa stat. PUT THIS IN THE DSM V.

"Hipster Affect Disorder, recurrent, most recent episode "Paleo", Severe: YUO BECOME SO TRENDY YOU EAT THE MILDEW FROM UR SHOWER FROM YOUR BROOKLYN SLUM-PARTMENT WHILE TELLING EVERYONE YUO ARE A DOWN TO EARTH CAVE MOMMA"

In other news, McEwen is so proud of her successful "foraging" attempt she is now going around the interweb dismissing everyone's work WHO HAS NOT YET FORAGED FROM TEH BATHROOM TOILET.

NEVER FORAGED? 

U KNOW NOTHING!@!!!!

Guyenet follows suit like a good yesman with his shrill, bitchy, nasally whine as per usual:

 "I don't know where to start with all the problems in the first link. It's written in a style that suggests academic rigor but most of the points are "supported" by 1) wild extrapolation from very limited data, and 2) pure speculation."

HAHA I think the pot just called the kettle obesity researcher, for real. 

Lets be honest, the real reason Guyenet is SOMAD is because Anna is part of our low carb coven here where he has traditionally been roundly mocked on the daily. Plus friends with his archiest nemesis, Peter D/Hyperlipid. Yea, so he's just butthurt/mad/etc.

McEwen's RAGE distills to yet another new blog shoots ahead of her in popularity, meanwhile huntgatherlove remains the definition of no1curr, to infinity and beyond.
"Format is so bad" haha, scaaaathing criticism, and the lolzy part of all is this is pretty much the polar opposite of reality so it shows their desperation. No footnotes? I've been using footnotes since I STARTED my website, bitch! Anna, really, just pack your shit up and go home.

But you know, H8rs gonna H8 anyway, so.

In closing, I would like to share this comic I made to describe the fancy paleo hipster dinner McEwen threw her friends with her athlete's foot bathroom fungus:

Recent after photos.

Hi.

I decided to take some recent photos to document weight. I've been eating tons lately , do not weigh myself or pay attention like I used to, I exercise way less than I used to as well due to my employment being sedentary the past year and working at night entirely.  All in all the perfect storm for weight regain/creep. As you can see I have definitely gained weight from last year, although I have maintained my low carb diet through out with rare exceptions (otherwise the wt situation would undoubtedly be severe).

I went on a brief "diet" a few weeks ago, started dropping body fat particularly combined with the stress of moving (lots of lifting, constant activity). Then the food truck came back to town and that's the end of that, ha.

I think the wt I am now is pretty close to the weight  where it becomes virtually impossible to gain more WHILE FOLLOWING the diet I do (~40 carbs, nutrients on deck and so on). I say this because at this point I experienced prolonged nausea and food aversion when eating high energy intakes, which otherwise fails to occur at thinner weights. I am sure I can (and perhaps might) gain more weight but it's also true I can and will lose it / prevent it with trivial ease.

I also think if I was sleeping at nights and working a more physically active job I would likely be thinner, but I would also be a lot hungrier as in the past :D.

Additionally, this outfit makes me look fatter, given the print pants and cut of shirt, but oh well.

My measurements today were 25.5 waist and 36.75 hips. (When I was just finishing leptin , over 2 yrs ago, my waist was like 23.5 inches and my hips were like 34 to give an idea. Back then I was like a 00-0. Now I am more like a size 2 sometimes a size 0. These pants are a 25/0. )
 I don't weigh myself but I think right now I weigh between 124-125.

I think it's incredible I am doing so well maintaining and I put so little effort into it regarding measuring, or weighing myself, or exercising intentionally or restricting calories. That speaks volumes.

All in all considering most obesity resistant people would gain body fat given my present employment and lifestyle, I think gaining so little even while eating entirely hedonistically and disrupted circadian rhythm and zero exercise is a glowing advertisement for how primary and important carbohydrate restriction / management of postprandial insulin is for attenuating body fat gain.
Furthermore, I think I demonstrate the anti-aging effects of this diet as I am going to be 31 yrs old in september and still look substantially younger than peers.  The changes in my appearance re: aging are very subtle over these years... been following various form of the diet since 20yrs old.


I may  take these down, as I did last time I posted pics. I get paranoid.

I need to put myself on a "ban" regarding this Castro story because it literally crushes my mood for like a few hours or a day or so.

It highlights facts, such as the fact my life is so easy and I have quite a bit to be guilty about, like actively fretting over the size of my ass. MY ASS IS TOO BIG. THIS IS ALSO TRUE OF MY THIGHS AND ARMS AND WAIST. HELP. I ATE TOO MANY CALORIES. I sit on a blog all fucking day  worrying about my body weight, along with others.... I am worrying , and complaining, about the fact I am sitting in a chair in a temporate controlled environment eating plentifully of food while relaxing, SO MUCH SO that I have gained body fat beyond the superficial meaningless level that I would prefer. In other words, I would PREFER to be a size zero, but unfortunately, I'm more like a size 2 now, all flabby and not thin enough for my liking.

How fucking pathetic and oh yes should I ever feel guilty about that.


I've always done this thing where every so often I hear a new story or read something and I can't get over it. The story haunts me for weeks months or years, and I will occasionally reflect upon that story for no reason at all throughout my life with resultant sadness. Usually this involves stories of torture and silence, particularly involving children.

It's good that I've scared away the few readers I had accumulated, by being loud, abrasive, opinionated, rude, not just regarding obesity research, but regarding men and libertarians and christians and virtually everything in the world. The intense negative cynicism that I see the world through is not conducive to an audience. People want to sit there with their fat face moon eyes and gaping stares and hear psychopathic con men sell them pretty stories about how exciting the present and future is.

At dinner my brother excitedly told me about some free bad ass libertarian business start up, an alternative to the banking system where people with minor excess money can lend it to various credit risks in 25 dollar chunk blocks, rather like storing data on a hard disk or something... he was soooo excited about this thing, utterly ignorant of the fact it's likely an insider trading scam, a false bullshit business made of hot air, just like all these "libertarian" ideas of "social alternative" businesses. THE BANKS HAVE A LOT OF CORPORATE BLOAT AND RED TAPE, BUT US HERE AT EMPOWERING PEOPLE BANKING SYSTEM SKIM ALL THAT FAT TO PROVIDE YOU LOWER INTEREST RATES!!!1111

I tried to explain to him that his hopefulness was naive and he is probably going to lose money sooner or later, but he merely became loud and angry as he tends to be. So I merely went silent and nodded quietly and responded "perhaps it is a valid exciting new business model which is an alternative to the banking system. History seems to suggest otherwise, and the majority of such ideas end up in a big fat loss with the people at the top of the organization fleeing the country with all the money. Just saying."






The thing is, this is how normal people think. That's why they are so prone to victimization. They see the world as large and exciting and new. They don't have microscope eyes that glue on to the small, the insignificant, the tragic and hopeless. I suspect this difference is what makes me perhaps more prone to depression. I seem to just view the world differently; I am more sensitive to negative things, like children being adorned with dog collars and punched in the stomach until they abort , and starved for weeks so they look like an unrecognizable weed relative to their former self. This burns a hole in my brain and haunts me and causes physical changes in my vital signs.

Or the fact, one of the girls, doesn't even want to go home to her family, probably because they were so abusive she was willing to get in a car with a 40 year old unknown man. It seems clear Knight's family abused her. DeJesus' family is willing to adopt her. At 32 years old, this person needs parents and adoption, because she spent her life in chains in a basement being starved beat and raped, with a baseline mental handicap as well.


Often I will try to train myself to think more like "normal" people who are always looking up instead of down, but it is always so hollow, not at all me.

My SSRI consuming sister is so placid. She's become such a nice person on this medication. Perhaps the real problem is everyone should take inhibitory numbing medications; whether the issue is life is simply too cruel, or some people like myself are at baseline too reactive to pain and suffering in others and in my environment, either way, SSRI in the water is not such a bad idea.

I've begun drinking exclusively filtered water and have done so the past 2 or 3 weeks. I can no longer tolerate the taste of tap water, which is something like dirty contaminated puddles in comparison.  Perhaps this was an unwise decision; the majority of chemicals in the water help to stabilize and inhibit thought and feeling, so I can only assume I should continue drinking the public water system poison for theraputic benefit. I actually feel worse drinking filtered water, it seems.

Either way, I wish there was a way to "erase" memories, which is embarrassing and selfish to say as nothing terrible has happened to me. I merely have such moon in pisces disability disorder where vicariously perceived stories of abuse run me down to the point where it's hard to function. I've had this problem my whole life.

I'm actually not sensitive or squeamish. The other day at work, a patient sliced her leg open, right in half, as if a saw blade chopped it down as if it were a tree (she has severe leg edema). When I was summoned to the room by the staff nurse, the blood was shocking as was being able to see inside her leg, but I told the staff to elevate her leg, get me gauze cling and ace wraps, and I rapidly applied pressure to it. It didn't phase me at all; I mean, it was icky and unpleasant for sure, but I didn't get the "soul leaving my body soggy rag" feeling when I merely READ these abuse stories / watch them on the internet. As soon as she was going to the ER I felt totals better, not at all down but perhaps a bit jumpy.

I think too much, and I feel almost as much. I bury inward as a default function; I reduce things and make them smaller, and more intense. I'm very aloof and isolated, but very merged and intertwined connected to everything, which is really a specifically pisces moon kind of disorder.

I envy the naturally manic and expansive who never rest and settle.

Plus of course, you know, eating 100 carbs is just a bad idea. Thank you low carb jesus for showing me the way of ketones, without which I would be a total fucking wreck, and days like this remind me of that, because I haven't felt this off kilter in months.

More ranting re: Castro Story. More wonderful examples of smashing to bits various PC myth.

I feel bad for the brothers, as they were initially all suspects... and they will probably forever have to live under a veil of doubt from others who will always suspect they were involved. However, it felt SO GOOD to listen to them reject him publically. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, it means nothing, and accomplishes less than zero to fix this... but out of all the empty testimonies and opinions I've heard, the rage / anger of the two innocent brothers is the most genuine. Even the pathetic families of the girls were all "turn the other cheek" christian roll over and play dead about it.

I even heard one moron retard before the camera, speaking of Amanda Berry: "GOD BLESSED HER WITH A CHILD, THIS HAPPENED FOR A REASON". I wanted to hit that person, for real. The child isn't a blessing' its a fucking curse. The ones who miscarried were the lucky ones.
 Can you imagine having a rapist's parasite growing in your body and then having to live with it for the rest of your life?

---------------------

Listen to them squirm and squirm and avoid the thousand pound elephant in the room.

Amanda Berry was healthy and she was white. She was blonde and fair skinned and 16. The perfect age in the mind of a human male operating purely with a bestial animal brain. In addition to the social status attached to "white women" amongst other ethnic groups (such as hispanics like Castro), light skin is as naturally preferred amongst males, as naturally and universally as is a WHR of 0.7.
Skin is naturally lighter amongst females relative to males. Skin color is a sexually dimorphic trait. This is another one of those "uncomfortable facts" we all know intuitively (e.g. female celebrities of other ethnic groups are almost always significantly lighter skinned than the average woman in their ethnic group) but absolutely no one feels comfortable talking about for fear it makes you a RACIST!!!

PC dogma surrounding gender issues is only secondary to PC dogma surrounding race, when it comes to total unmentionability/debatability. There is a very real proven beyond shadow of a doubt finding that skin color is subjected to sexual dimorphism and men are generally attracted to lighter skin. Estrogen lightens skin , testosterone darkens it. BTW, skin color is lighter in youth, and the majority of effect estrogen exerts to enahance "beauty" (i.e. male sexual animal interest) is to make the person appear younger, more pubescent, more like a 16 year old kidnapping / rape victim.

 Interesting they say DeJesus (the tan skinned hispanic victim) was the "sex slave". She was dehumanized and used entirely as an object of self gratification; the "pretty white girl" as Ramsey noted was the one kept in a special room and made mother of his child.

(edit: it's also entertaining to mention the dopey "criminologist" specifically describes DeJesus as the most attractive, as if to apologize for the very politically incorrect actions of Castro favoring the white girl. SASSY LATINA GIRL WITH LATIN FLAVOR JUST LIKE ON THE TV, OF COURSE SHE'S THE PRETTIEST, now plz ignore the fact Castro preferred the white girl and by far. God I hate people, so very much.)

 No one will dare mention the racial element, except perhaps local dishwasher Charles Ramsey, who is  removed from social norms by virtue of him being impoverished and uneducated and completely and quite happily unconcerned with political correctness. Only wholefoods shopping comfortable middle classes are socially aware/concerned enough to omit such incorrect thoughts from coming out of their mouth holes.

The other two girls were the wrong race, the wrong age, and mentally handicapped. Not genetically fit.

Oh BTW, the age of the girls at abduction:

14
16
19

Looks just like a walmart missing children's poster, hmm? Berry, "his wife", the one permitted to bare children, was the 16 year old. Magically this beast happened to purely accidentally kidnap females who were all very close to the "15/16" year old beauty peak universally observed in human male subjects.

The miscarriages were no accident. He punched them in the stomach until they aborted. He beat them very specifically so they would not have children. Berry had a child because she was his "wife" as she was the "best quality", the others were concubines... brown and/or mentally disabled.

It's always perversely entertaining to hear these kinds of stories, when human beings (that means to say, human men, as humans are patriarchal by nature) devolve into completely pathological animal level behavior. We watch helplessly as our deeply held and cherished PC good night sleep tight fairy tales crumble one by one before our eyes, leaving us all alone in the cold hard truth of the repugnant real world. Stealing fair skinned/haired women, stealing 16 year old girls and not one a day older than 19, reproducing only with the "best quality" of them and beating the others to sterility... natural fucking behavior.

It's enough to drive a person insane, or make them doubt their own sanity, when one is forced to stare into the void and realize true human nature is so completely opposite to the fluffy cotton candy fake world we have constructed with social systems and governments and laws. Reality, so counter and violently hideous when contrasted against the fake world we ignorantly enjoy. Well, if you are a westerner anyway. There are certainly many people living in areas of the world, where the REAL WORLD is an in your face proposition every day every minute. It's also likely true the majority of those "missing children" posters have met similar fates; we just never found them, yet, and they are still in attics or basements somewhere.

There are truths we just can't accept, we don't want to accept, for doing so would make us unable to live anymore. We need our post agricultural society and egalitarian government to sponsor a never ending marathon of brainwashing programs (higher ed, popular media) that induct citizens into the fairer illusory modern world, thus preventing these kinds of atrocities. Otherwise, it's all devolving down to animal-level kill or be killed male domination, with women being objects and resources not at all equal to men, more like food or water or land.  

This is natural human behavior.  No one dares or prefers to think about it, but I consider saying shit that is hideous to be one of my strengths.

Kinda funny to think about it from a "paleo diet" perspective, with all the lolzy "paleo reinactment" of a bunch of kids and old people running around in pebbles flinstone outfits. YEA IT WAS JUST LIKE THAT LOL. It really makes you pause and think that so many people have one foot in both worlds; the popularity of "libertarian/anarchist" political ideologies amongst paleos for example... they want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to believe in agricultural concepts like "unlimited prosperity / stored and inherited wealth" while also cherry picking from the brutal natural world of "dog eat dog / chips falling where they will / no control or influence from any social organizing body".

It's rather just like a political correctness drone being unable to even UTTER THE PHRASE that gender difference is innate and that fair skin is sexually attractive to men, although opposite in self service.  The comfortable upper middle class paleo uberman fantasizes about this "unbridled freedom" where he has total power and autonomy and control to build his own harem of women and easily disempowers male competitors because he's a high T alpha you know. Of course, the unconscious desires driving this interest he likely can't come to terms with, just like he would probably deny that he finds highschool girls sexually attractive when questioned (or alternatively, blame the girl and call her precocious/slutty/tempting him, so as to validate and justify his logically uncomfortable but very natural feelings).

(edit: just like the recent lols with all the hubbub about gradeschool/high school "female dress codes". and again another example here . Particularly the gradeschool dress codes are obviously in service of MALE TEACHERS and not "boys". But of course no sane, well adjusted man is going to admit he is sexually drooling over his 13 or 14 year old student, so all the male teachers/principals advocating for these rules are saying "its to benefit the boys in the class" because it sounds so much better than saying "it makes myself and male teachers feel bad about ourselves." It's always male teachers/ principals creating these kinds of rules. BTW, the feminist backlash such as I linked above is just as hilarious. " WOMEN SHOULD WEAR WHAT THEY WANT RAPE IZ ABOUT CONTROOOOL" )

It's almost like these limited morons can't see that unspeakable levels of pain and suffering and exploitation are inherent in a "natural human society".  The comfort and safety I get to enjoy every day of my spoiled fat ass fucking life is a direct result of my wonderful society and laws. Plz kill yourself, right wing libertarian assholes.

The worst case scenario is when government infrastructure combines with natural human animal drives. That's when you see some really soul destroying brain imploding levels of pain horror and injustice. The social infrastructure of hunter gatherer groups = too weak and limited to cause more pain and death than a couple hundred people in some brutal tribal warfare / cannibalism .
It's when post agricultural governments combine with human animal impulses that we see hundreds of thousands of humans suffering and dying, on the other hand.

The problem isn't the government, though; it's the human nature which went unchecked and uncontrolled. Paleo ubermen with libertarian flags have the causality reversed, just as little Guyenet confuses the hierarchy of interest in eating with growing fatter.

The reason I am so safe and secure is because I live in a well developed stable society. Government, in other words, is why my life rocks. When this ceases to be the case, it won't be because of too much government, I assure you quite certainly the problem will be too much animal drive and unpoliced animal behavior on behalf of men.

(As an aside, here's an interesting lolzy observation of PC speak: It seems to have fallen out of fashion to say "men cause war". I suspect the reason this is so, is not to protect the feelings of men, but rather to deny the innate biological differences of men and women. WOMEN CAN GROW UP TO BE EVIL DICTATORS IF THEY PUT THEIR MINDS TO IT AND FIGHT THE PATRIARCHY, LOL!!!111)

 Regarding government and animal impulsivity (The social equivalent of superego and id)... it's really not a binary concept, because sometimes the latter is in service of the former, and as stated, that's when off the scale incomprehensible levels of death and destruction happen, like communist atrocities and holocaust and so on.
The libertarian moron camp merely confuses cause and effect. When human men have the opportunity to  indulge in unpoliced animal instinct, they can sometimes / often times utilize government as a weapon in that process. Blaming government for this, is like blaming kitchen knives for murder. The rest of the time, sanely implemented governments are INSTRUMENTAL in policing men and preventing these kinds of things from happening.

Government and "control" isn't the cause of human suffering; it merely allows it to be so very much bigger, like putting brass knuckles on before socking someone in the face. Plenty o' evidence human groups will engage in warfare when resources are scarce. It's not government that causes war and suffering; it's malcontent amongst men. Corn syrup and government stipends are the key to our relative success.


PS, I've noticed my blog has declined in popularity in accordance with me writing these kinds of posts. I find that fantastic because I have to spend all of my IRL time mindlessly nodding and trying not to ruffle feathers; at least my blog can be a place where I can speak observed truths in a a safe and neutral place. It's wonderful to no longer have to put up with vanity dieting SAHMs and others who really don't want to think, ever, under any circumstances.

More evidence of the overwhelming importance of food reward in the current obesity epidemic.

As a real life fat slob, I am the perfect specimen to test food reward religious doctrine.

All weekend (who am I kidding, the past few days) I have been eating like a major chunky butt. Like just eating TONS AND TONS. Eating so much, that when I go to sleep and stop eating, I am completely nauseated when I wake up.

Unfortunately today is also unofficial mothers day for mi familia; yesterday was mothers day but none of us were available until today to take mommy for her dinner, so we took her tonight to a restaurant for our annual gift carding and feeding hallmark card sponsored american celebration. Social eating, mandated, no real way out of it. We arrive at the restaurant rather like the hillbilly welcome wagon: laughing, making jokes, ranting and mockery, it was not unlike a dinner table full of woo x 4. I sorta felt bad for the wait staff as we might have scared them a bit.

So, sitting at the table I try to "order". I am TOTALLY not hungry at all, the food looks disgusting, I am actively experiencing nausea, and the reason for this is the fact i ate so much the past few days and am presently fasting. Here is a simple diagram to explain the endocrine and metabolic state I am experiencing:

LOW INSULIN + HIGH LEPTIN / FFA / GLUCOSE = 

puuuuuuuke ew food never want/ need to eat again

everything looks pretty gross even cake and cookies even cheese

even chips even fried things with crusts

ugh vomit!

no want! 

blech!

:(

Of course I really can't order anything and the only things I want are the lightest, least caloric things I can think of. Shrimp cocktail sounds not that gross. Maybe scallops and vegetables. I can probably eat that w/o feeling sick.

Ordinarily I would be drinking the grease from steaks and dipping chicken wings in cheese and sour cream and that would sound pretty awesome...but ordinarily I am not comming off of a week of 2300 calories per day, either. So in this present condition the only thing I can even think of eating, are the sorts of meals naturally obesity resistant, underweight anoretic graduate students eat and feel completely satisfied on.

I sit and suspect the way I feel now might be, and probably is, the way anoretic women, people like stephan guyenet, and the various other "mentally ill thin" feel every single day. Can't tolerate fat. Can't desire food. Only capable of consuming low fat caloric sparse meals, due to nervous system that is violently rejecting nutrition and refusing to grow fatter. A piece of fruit and a little lean fish is all that we can deal with right now. High serotonin, high NE, higher peripheral and central dopamine, and fat tissue that is just simply not having it; lots of fat oxidation at rest, leading to a "talk to the hand, insulin" kind of situation. The nausea is directly related to nervous system changes: more serotonin, more dopamine.

GUESS WHAT ZOFRAN DOES? Blocks serotonin.

GUESS WHAT VIRTUALLY ALL OTHER ANTI- VOMMY MEDICATIONS DO? Block dopamine.

Metoclopramide:
-Works to stop nausea and vomitting
-Helps psychosis, but never used for this indication
-Will cause psychotic symptoms as a drug tolerance symptom (cool story brah!)
-Causes elevation of prolactin and endocrine disorders
-Causes EPS / parkinsonian symptoms / MH and of course weight gain (ps I like this pt anecdote because the condition was treated effectively but no weight gain occurred; it only occurred when the dose was raised to bolster the dopamine/serotonin blockade to haldolian / seroquelian oppressiveness. Certain morons might be apt to argue that treating intestinal disorders is the real cause of weight gain, whereas this case provides evidence that is not true and there is a specific effect of metoclopramide to gain weight)

wut you mean, 

DOPAMINE??!!

you mean it helps prevents the fatness????

and blocking it actively induces the fatness!?

This blasphemy runs completely counter to Father Guyenets sermons! Father Guyenet has spent great blood sweat and tears helping us lost powdered nacho cheese covered masses learn the truth.

Dopamine promotes obesity by driving eating behavior! Food that is varied in taste, texture, and flavor, and incentivizing, causes a release of excessive and inappropriately elevated CNS dopamine, which keeps us always transfixed with eating. How then can it be true that the post-overfed fasting state is actively hallmarked by signs of excessive dopamine, such as nausea... meanwhile, dopamine blocking medications (whether indicated for nausea or indicated for psychosis, whether peripherally acting or centrally or both) actively CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN?? BLASPHEMER!!!! ANTI-SCIENCE AGAINST CONSENSUS OF THE RESEARCH!!!

So, anyway. Let it be known I was sitting at this table full of pukes and yucks, in my post hypercaloric, post fasting state (low insulin, high leptin). 

...but then I ate some paleo potato chips.

After about a few minutes, as long as it takes for insulin to rise and respond to nutrition, the nausea was gone. Not only was the nausea gone, but the disinterest in eating was as well.  I wasn't necessarily hungry, but I wasn't repulsively full, either. Eating was no longer this horrifying repulsive proposition; with the help of paleo potatos,  I could now easily consume an entire meal, in spite of the fact I was just severely averse to food even extremely palatable food just a few minutes earlier.

With a few bites of some tortilla chips, I was now relatively in a higher insulin condition. I was no longer oxidizing body fat at a high rate, I was no longer with high level of FFA for energy from my own fat tissue; I was now using more glucose for energy and not using fat for energy, and this promotes rational hunger. 

Obesity resistant people find it extremely easy to oxidize body fat, and that is the difference between people like me and people who are naturally anoretics (e.g. AN females, S. Guyenet). My body will pretty much completely and absolutely terminate body fat oxidation at trivial insulin concentrations (as well as induct drops in FFA/glucose). This is likely secondary to obesity-specific defects: fat tissue insulin supersensitivity, SNS deficits in the fat tissue, adipocyte hyperplasia, and so on. The risk factors for certain types of "metabolically healthy" obesity are actually , ironically, often times inverse of the risk factors for diabetes mellitus (we make LOTS of insulin whereas diabetics eventually develop insulin deficiency... we EASILY suppress FFA/glucose and succumb to frequent energy instability and fasting intolerance...our fat tissue is like SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN when dealing with using itself for energy). This is because diabetes mellitus is actually the metabolic opposite of obesity, in spite of popular religiously influenced misconception. However, the ironic truth that the former (obesity) often results in the latter (diabetes). Maximum genetically determined capacity for white fat tissue growth, will naturally translate into an onset of diabetes mellitus, and there is absolutely no swifter way to induce diabetes-like metabolic pathology as terminating , ablating, adipocytes (which is metabolically virtually the same thing as maximum adipocyte maturation and distention BTW).

For someone like myself, a HYPER FAT TRUCK in a weight reduced condition, trivial insulin, trivial glucose and carbohydrate, is enough to dramatically terminate the use of body fat for energy, along with FFA and glucose. This is in a way the polar opposite finding of diabetes but is rather significant for some kinds of met healthy obesities. Guess what happens when a hormone terminates sufficient energy availability? Hunger results,  (and fat gain is very very easy over any long term trend of time)

I'm not a fool, so I know to keep it low carb in general (I only consumed a handful of chips, just enough to be capable of eating; the rest of my food intake was a few bites of steak, some scallops, some sour cream/butter, cauliflower, a few bites of beef chilli, a few ounces of cheese, and a few bites of cheesecake (ps, cheesecake isn't that terrible of a dessert option, even full sugar, if you only eat a tiny amount it's just a couple carbs).

So the meal didn't make me HUNGRY, but I was HUNGRY ENOUGH to eat it (but rapidly became full as the nutrition is much greater than the insulin / ability to store the nutrition given my baseline condition otherwise).

Clearly this episode serves as evidence that the rewarding properties of food promote obesity. Right? After all, I ate a full sized meal at a restaurant, devout followers of Guyenet would point out.

The food reward boy's choir (Chuck, Nige, et al) are liable to agree with that above facile, imbecilic interpretation. I'm sure many self hating obese people would also agree. Upon closer inspection, this is not at all what was observed.

• IN A FASTING STATE I was nauseated and not at all inclined to consume food in spite of it being present (which, hypothetically, should activate my defective "reward" circuitry, as I was privy to the smell and sight of various appetizing foods)
•  
• IN A POST GLUCOSE EXPOSURE STATE, I only was only then able to consume food, after waiting a few minutes for my endocrine and metabolic state to transition into a glucose-fed condition. Take note, if I ate pure fat like butter or cream, I likely would have only exacerbated the nausea and food avoidance. I know because I've done it before. Meanwhile, a tortilla chip which I didn't even enjoy eating, allowed me to stop nausea and feel desire to consume food.

The ability to eat DID  FOLLOW glucose procsessing / insulin increasing in my body.

The ability to eat DID NOT FOLLOW being exposed to the incentivizing,  or convenience-related properties of food, such as observing several plates in front of me of freshly prepared diverse food items with smell and sight.


 This is clear evidence , once more, "reward" is subordinate to the metabolic/nervous system state of the body, and so called "palatable" food ceases to be incentivizing (or even *possible* to successfully consume) if one's endocrine and metabolic state is completely oppositional to storing fat.

(BTW, I can't wait for the dullards to tell me I became hungry because the food in restaurant was rewarding ;D )

Pathological vs physiological hypothyroidism.

Quick post.
(SO much I want to blog about lately though! SOWWY)

I've blogged in depth regarding functional hypothyroidism as a consequence of hypocaloric, body fat reducing diets. To the right the tag re: "ketogenic diet facts" I briefly describe this, as well as more specifically in other blog entries.

A few months ago it was  a trend to claim ketogenic diets cause hypothyroidism. This fad seems to have died down now and it is more appropriately being attributed to general dysfunctional eating patterns which are relatively common amongst paleos and low carbers.. Eating disordered people gravitate to restrictions.
 The blogosphere still remains chock full of people who are either convinced low carb diets cause hypothyroidism, or alternatively they are convinced they have hypothyroidism when in reality they just need to eat like a whole plate of barbeque ribs x 5, and not purge afterward, and do it like a month.

Today I thought of an idea that there is a very simple test to identify GENUINE hypothyroid patients from FAKE eating disordered functional hypothyroidism. Energy patterns and physical habitus.

People who have functional hypothyroidism are the thyroid equivalent of a car that is always running on 10% gas. They go for a bit and then they just can't. The engine is fine, but they suffer from energy deprivation which makes it appear superficially that the engine is broken as the car is refusing to work. Compounding the problem is these people always have subclinical or clinical eating disorders, so they will often report pigging out on food or eating adequately, when in objective reality they are not consuming nearly enough food or the right kinds of food.


People with pathological hypothyroidism would be like having a primary problem with the engine. Even if gas is present the engine is simply not functioning properly. They aren't making energy even when they should for some reason.

Functional hypothyroidism is usually found in patients who are actually very wired and energetic if one were to look at their lifestyle patterns objectively, but the individual complains of fatigue and coldness. Sleep is more likely to be disturbed as opposed to excessive (hypothyroidism usually causes excessive sleeping). They exercise a lot and they live busy lives. They may appear type A or a bit manic at times but they complain of fatigue. They don't present with hair loss, hair loss of eyebrows, or myxedema, which are very specific for pathological hypothyroidism; they are more likely to have diuresis vs edema (Unless the starvation is very significant then edema will also present secondary to low protein levels). Hair loss may occur but it will be mild, more like poor hair growth and poor nail growth vs loss of eyelashes/eyebrows as in hypothyroidism.  If they take stimulants like coffee the energy improves, usually significantly, because starvation makes people super sensitive to dopamine and stimulants.

 The energy improving from stimulants and the general "wired" nature of lifestyle is a key sign that the thyroid axis is actually healthy / in tact, but the real problem is craziness, stress, and general lack of eating food like a human being. The fatigue and and feeling cold is the body's attempt to prevent death via suppressing thyroid hormone activity.



I've observed it's easy to tell people who have genuine primary thyroid problems, as easy as it is to tell a hare, or a jittery mouse darting about the room, from a sloth. People with primary thyroid disease NEVER feel energetic. They move slowly and think slowly and sleep lots. Severe hypothyroidism will cause retarded movement just like this, and food is not going to fix it, sleep is not going to fix it, nothing fixes it except T4 / T3 at a 10:1 ratio. They don't have backgrounds of fatigue happening after losing 25 pounds, they don't go to the GYM every day and a thousand and one PTA  projects and  a book they are writing too.

Just like filling a healthy car with gas makes it work right, giving food and rest and relaxation to the functional thyroid inhibition case ameliorates the perceived fatigue and coldness. It presents nothing like real thyroid disease which is always sub par energy 24/7, although some times worse than others. There is no background history of being wired and overenergized from stress like this (the stress promotes the wired OCD state, and it also promotes the thyroid inhibition too, these are not mutually exclusive)

It's pretty easy to tell who needs to just eat a cheeseburger for a few days and not bring it back up, vs who needs to start taking t4 / t3. The later patient usually have tests that say HI YOUR TSH ITS LIKE 40 LOL anyway, but even in mild cases, there is always a consistent pattern of lethargy , no wired/stress/exercising & project driven stuff, and there is usually TSH that is pretty high anyway.

On the other hand, starving people tend to have really low TSH. Leptin deficiency prevents TSH being made. Functional hypothyroid, remember.


FUNCTIONAL vs PATHOLOGICAL.

Remember these words kids, IZ IMPORTANT if you want to understand whats going on with you and that rings true for any condition at all.

Thin, wired, insomniac, cold and tired, resolves with eating food and rest giving way to fabulous energy = functional.
Slow and foggy even on a good day, with exacerbation in winter and stress = possibly pathological

(another issue I believe compounds things is estrogen deficiency in perimenopausal women; they often blame the fatigue and foggy thinking and weight gain on thyroid when in reality they are experiencing the normal effects of estrogen deficiency.

Many women interested in weight/health have been so brainwashed by broscience they are incapable of conceiving that estrogen is their primary hormone required for adequate function , so trying to explain this to them is like trying to explain that infidels are people too to a muslim extremist. Ironically thyroid patients dependent on drugs may actually benefit from lower estrogen because if they are sub-adequately medicated, the estrogen will exacerbate the symptoms as it inactivates thyroid hormone... but this is easily resolved by taking adequate T4/T3, and it isn't at all relevant to euthyroid people not dependent on meds with healthy thyroids).

THEY SAID YES??!!!

WUT!

Do you know how many times I've been offered a fuckin' ride?
Do you know how many times I said NO, FUCK NO, AND HELL NO?


OMG! Look at that creepy fuck and his creepy fat haldol face! All frozen like a psychotic killer with frontal lobe damage and eyes all dead staring blankly. Why yes sir it would be great if you could drive me home from the MAC DONALDS.

I can't believe he kidnapped them by offering them a car ride. I didn't think girls actually said yes, at least after the age of maybe 8 years old or something. This can't be true, I bet this story was fabricated for sensationalism... it was probably more to it, like the girls knew him (they were friends with his daughter) or they might have said no and he forced them in the car or something.
I just find it super hard to believe all these girls willingly got in this guy's car after being offered a ride. NO WAY. He's so creepy and crazy looking at baseline, not to mention the additional creepy factor of being offered a ride for no reason.

I don't know why the media (humanity in general) seem to have a drive to blame victims of abuse for the abuse occuring. "If only those girls said no they wouldn't have been abducted" etc.
This is the kind of story I think which really can only appeal to men, or women who are so old / terrified they only view themselves as mothers and forget what it is like to be young girl themselves.

I've said no to TAXI drivers who offered to drive me home for free. Why? "Even though they are in a taxi, if they are really interested in me getting in their cab so much as to say it is free of charge, that can't be a good sign." Whenever anyone wants you to get in their car, they don't have good intentions. As a best case scenario, you are likely to deal with sexual harassment. Men aren't offering rides to other men unless they are cruising in specific areas.


What about the much more common scenario of abuse/rape being  a matter of opportunity, i.e. the child is in your home; your niece, your stepdaughter. This bullshit completely overlooks the fact the majority of cases like this - being raped/abused for a decade - is perpetrated by fathers themselves, or step fathers, or uncles or all of the above.

Either way, there is sufficient evidence a few of the girls knew him, they were friends with his daughter, and the mother knew him as well.

I just find it so hard to believe these stories; it's almost like we create them to console ourselves whenever outrageous victimization occurs. "See, it's their fault this happened. Now I don't have to worry about my daughter because she isn't so stupid and I can prevent this." Or "See, it's their fault; they caused it to happen; now I don't have to feel guilty for being male, or quite as sad. Whew glad that's off my back now!"
