    Cruz is that guy who did all the shit his coaches rolled their eyes at and just kept doubling down and got super lucky that it eventually worked for him. You see it all the time with people specializing in weird niche shit that their opponents have trouble figuring out. There's a ceiling on that...

    There's some variance in blood type by ethnicity, but nothing at the level where a random individual could make dietary decisions based on it. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1203831/blood-type-distribution-us-by-ethnicity/ And in any case: "Does It Work? One study found that adults...

    Jesus, I need this. Thanks. I'm playing RDR2 because my Steam backlog is a half-decade long.

    It had 37g total carbs (both digestible and indigestible), of which 4g were fiber (indigestible), 12g were sugars (digestible), and by deduction the remainng 21g were other starches (digestible). The only thing Sanrith is saying is that the 4g fiber doesn't count towards his ketosis target...

    Ok, one more time and then I give up. From a strict perspective of chemistry, fiber is a carbohydrate (made of C, H, O). Under that formal definition, you cannot have more fiber than carbohydrates. HOWEVER. When discussing human foods, "carb" is a shorthand that refers only to DIGESTIBLE...

    No. That's not how it works at all. If you have a food with 5g "carbs" (digestible sugars and starches), 10g fiber (indigestible sugars and starches which are still chemically carbohydrates, mostly cellulose), that is 15g Total Carbohydrates (5 + 10 = 15) but only 5g carbs that counts towards...

    Jesus. Fiber is chemically a carbohydrate (comprised of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), which is why it's listed under Total Carbohydrates on nutrition labels. However, it is a carbohydrate indigestible by humans and doesn't count towards digestible carb thresholds necessary for ketosis. For the...

    What he's talking about is deducting dietary fiber from the count of total carbohydrates. Presumably he has a carb target measured in grams. If he met the carb target with X grams of dietary fiber he would be getting zero actual calories in carbs, which isn't the point, so he only measures...

    Dude. He's talking about the dietary fiber that appears on nutrition labels under "Total Carbohydrates". In that section, "Dietary Fiber" shouldn't count against your carb limits because you can't digest them. CICO is a concept, not a branded plan. It's literally physics. The only debate is...

    Sure it does. That's exactly what I meant by differential absorption. My point is that if you measure calories ABSORBED, as opposed to calories in the mouth, CICO applies. The fact that you're greasing your intestines on a high-fat diet doesn't really matter, just like counting calories in...

    I know what you meant, but cows, horses, sheep, goats, koalas, pandas, etc, all digest cellulose. Most of them need extra stomachs, enzymes, and/or symbiotic bacteria, though, which we obviously don't have.

    There are complicating factors like hunger motivation and differential caloric absorbtion for various foods, but overall it simply must be true due to the first law of thermodynamics. I don't disagree that low-carb diets are easier due to high satiety, but the reason you lose weight is because...

    Save yourselves the time. Pena declined to continue after 46 minutes of a relatively sedate match that was even up until the last couple minutes. He said he didn't want to compete due to being mentally messed up due to Lo's murder (they were very close friends), but the promoters and Gordon...

    Not going to happen, likely. FloGrappling has their IP locked down hard and the event isn't big enough for serious pirates to stream. Anyone who has paid attention to BJJ in the last 15 years will be sad to know that 33 year old 8x world champion Leandro Lo was murdered last night at a club by...
