OFFICIAL Make America Healthy Again Game Thread - Featuring Dr Anthony Chaffee

I mean, the math is kinda rough.
All of these old time “diets” are based on a completely different global ecosystem, before the incredible exponential growth of humanity occurred. Yeah we also improved the food supply but not those “traditional” ways.

I also eat Bob’s steel cut oats, I make a batch and stick it in the fridge for use when I get low blood sugar.

It’s like the live of the grid, homesteader, insta peeps. Cool, but that’s a pretty niche hobby.
 
One thing I’d be curious to see is what a shift to eating a higher percentage of goat meat looks like in the US.
Healthier red meat, feed off of a wider variety of plants, tastes quite good. But we don’t have the supply chain to bring much to market on any kind of scale right now. I can find it in the ethnic grocery store and on the menu in certain restaurants but not widespread at all.
 
For the past discussion on berries and their high glycemic index, my observation from this morning of eating 6oz of blackberries was less blood sugar spike than a banana. Would probably call a third less. Roughly.

I've previously understood blue berries to be low glycemic load. Just wasn't sure how much them getting blended affects things.
In honor of our new MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN era, I pulled 3 x 2000 Meters this AM. 2 mins rest. 20 s/m.
Go get some exercise pals!

I eat berries and cherries like my life depends on it while in season. We grow strawberries and in a good year we'll brave the bugs and harvest 5 or 10 gallons of wild huckleberries. I buy cherries.
I've never seen a big effect on my blood sugar unless I mix them with ice cream or sweetened yogurt and granola. I feel like the seasonal increase in natural sugar in my system is made up for by the many other health and taste related benefits.

I need to you run my smoothie experiment on you to test blood sugar.
1- Smoothie A: Frozen mixed berries, plain greek yogurt, nanner and greens.
2- Smoothie B: same as above but add in Chia Seeds and whey isolate powder.
Does the protein and Chia slow down absorbing sugar into the blood stream?
 
To clarify an earlier point about the hypoglycemic index and berries, it is my understanding the index will raise 4x — AFTER — said berries touch the blender or juicer.

I have no issue with them philosophically or otherwise in their raw form.

I do find the cgm experiments enlightening.

You can pry my seed oil fried tater chips from my cold dead fingers!
I also just rode a 90 mins lunch time lap in the Deschutes National Forest.
Exercise fights inflammation.

Do you ever eat prunes?
Those suckers are low on the glycemic index and I love 'em for the fiber.
I'm a total get off my lawn old man eating prunes.
 
Prunes are great. You don't wanna be around bleachedanusdawg when he eats 10+ dried apricots, though. Dried fruit, in general, is awesome.
When Costco gets them in, the dried mandarin oranges are more addictive than crack. I'm pretty sure they would not be recommended for a MAHA diet, though.

Eat more seed oil. That’s exactly the plan.

The plan is to not consume more calories than one burns in a day.
