  • Here is my current understanding

    For some external reason you are prejudiced against zero carb. In the heat of the moment you thought you would punch down on a tiny community by saying it’s dangerous that it exists, invoking the paradox of tolerance, implying it’s a Nazi type of thing.

    When asked why a diet is something causes intolerance by tolerating it you realized you didn’t have a good reason for that statement. You have attempted to leave gaps for others to infer your reasons because stating them explicitly would show how inconsistent they were.

    This entire comment thread has been a demonstration of avoidance.

    If I’m wrong, please disabuse me of my conclusion.




  • my trigger here is you stated there is a reason the paradox of tolerance would apply to zero-carb, but will not state the reasons. You leave it up to me, the reader, to infer your biases, context, and motivations. I wish to understand the actual argument, and not till at windmills.

    Obviously I don’t think zero-carb is intolerant of other diets, hence my request for you to enumerate your rational. If you insist on me divining strawmen arguments… I will, but I’d much rather hear your actual logic.





  • i get the impression your externalizing some previous conflict onto a group of dieters.

    There is a difference between people expressing their dislike (downvoting) and being intolerant. I’m fully aware lemmy has about 4 active zero carb posters, we are a tiny group. I’m not worried about people not liking my community, that is fine, I am promoting the community to find other people who actually want to talk about and interact with the diet.

    people THIS opposite

    I’m very surprised that people see a diet as a political thing, and I’m sorry we are stuck in that discussion. Some people define themselves by their intolerance of others, and I think that isn’t great for lemmy.

    Make a new account, transfer the community to the new account, in your original account leave the mod team, in the new account purge the account

    This will remove the communities from your account, and not leave them with a fake moderator, they will be clearly abandoned






  • Quotes from the paper https://doi.org/10.1038/s41588-024-01921-5

    Over recent decades, the incidence of gout has steadily increased, largely due to lifestyle factors such as diet, obesity, and metabolic conditions

    The paper also indicates a global rise in gout going hand in hand with the rise in global metabolic dysfunction.

    Having looked at the paper, it good, really good… but the genetic factors are for a population in the current metabolic context (high carb diets, poor metabolic health). Some people can tolerate the modern food landscape really well, and those people don’t get gout (hence this paper). But just because people’s genetics are intolerant of the current food landscape, doesn’t mean they HAVE to get gout… It can be avoided, by cutting out carbs, fructose, and alcohol. So even if you have a genetic sensitivity that leads to gout, you can simply not eat the foods necessary for the condition.

    Here is the full paper: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.07.25321834v1.full.pdf




  • The CICO model isn’t helpful to most people.

    I strongly think we need to stop telling people about CICO. It’s a thermodynamic model, not a clinical model.

    It’s much better to use the insulin obesity model, it’s a clinical model - https://hackertalks.com/post/7617450

    Basically we are not Bomb Calorimeters. You can eat uranium with billions of calories and not gain weight. We are hormonal machines, which have amazing homeostasis feedback already built it, we have to eat appropriately so those systems actually work.

    An illustrative example: if you want to lose 1lbs in a month you have to eat 30 calories less per meal. Nobody is going to measure their calories that accurately, not to mention food labels can be 25% off the exact amount… which means every meal you are eating ±208 calories… (on a 2500kcal day diet).
