I’ve been thinking about lactate and low carb lately, and haunted by guilt for not writing anything here in some while, I thought I’d share my thoughts. If you’re even just remotely interested in exercise, chances are that you still know buildup of lactate should be avoided. Those with more exercise experience will have heard…

This is an unfortunately long post, and I apologize for it, but the reason is that I find all this so darn interesting. Hope you do to. A little while back I looked closer at some of the science behind diet, weight loss and body re-composition. I have heard people say on several occasions that a low carbohydrate diet…

This is not one of those “carbs cause cancer” posts. I though “Carbs and cancer” had a better ring to it than for example “Metabolism and cancer”, what with the alliteration and all. Still, it’s important to remember that although carbohydrate restriction is an effective treatment for cancer, this does not mean cancer is caused…

Obviously! Obesity is a remarkably simple problem to solve. Eat less and move more. When energy expenditure exceeds energy intake, you lose weight. Many people claim to have tried eating less and exercising more and claim that it does not work. As this would be a violation of the laws of thermodynamics it is quite…

«When first thrown wholly upon a diet of reindeer meat, it seems inadequate to properly nourish the system, and there is an apparent weakness and inability to perform severe exertive fatiguing journeys. But this soon passes away in the course of two or three weeks.« From Stephen D. Phinney (2004) The above excerpt is from the…

«If I haven’t seen further than others it’s because giants were standing on my shoulders« – Richard Feinman quoting Hal Abelson quoting his roommate. I’ve been reading a fantastic book lately. Lee Smolins “The trouble with physics – The Rise of String Theory, the Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next.” The book is exactly…

If you haven’t already heard there is a new low carb study out. It shows similar effects on weight compared to a low fat diet over 2 years, but better HDL results in the low carb arm. It’s a really interesting study, but I’ll leave it to others, like Jimmy to elaborate. Once again this…

Science moves in mysteries ways. Despite its goal to be an objective tool describing the world as it is, science, when used by us humans, is not objective. Once a result, mathematical formula or any data acquired is interpreted the objectivity seizes to exist. And this is exactly how it should be. Data are worthless if…

«Undoubtedly, the perverse use of CFS, to impose a psychiatric definition for ME/CFS by associating it with fatigue syndromes, has delayed research, the discovery of effective treatment(s), and care and support for those with this illness.« Hooper 2007 Having a background and an interest in metabolism I am intrigued by reports about chronic fatigue syndrome.…

I was in way over my head starting to ramble on about insulin resistance hoping I would identify a causal link. But I feel I should finish what I’ve started. The trouble with insulin resistance is that it is so bloody hard to point to the exact cause at a cellular and molecular level. I’ve…
