    Currently there aren’t enough tools for small communities. It’s hard for a niche community to grow and flourish.

    If you post something like ‘BBQ is delicious’, it becomes a open referendum for the entirety of Lemmy to tell you why everything you said is wrong. Everybody dog piles their own personal biases and issues. And that’s fine for a general discussion.

    lemmy needs smaller community safe spaces so the conversations can grow by interested parties, that’s currently lacking. Like a subscriber only post, only seen by people who subscribe to a community. And then when it gets large enough, people can say I want this to be generally available. I think that would help a lot









  • Ok, I never really got a answer to this question so its been sitting in the back my of my head for a long time. I’ve stumbled across a plausible explanation

    The Randall cycle : A cross inhibition between glucose and fatty acid metabolism in every cell. When both high glucose levels and high fatty acid levels exist at the same time the Randle cycle causes the cell to rapidly fluctuate between both method, which does cause stress and inflammation in the cell… now some handwaving… this is manifested as insulin resistance (i.e. the cell can’t update more glucose because of the Randle cycle inhibition)

    Now… this is a CROSS inhibition… so if you remove one of the sources (glucose, and fatty acids) then the Randle cycle just stays in one mode and you don’t get the seesaw inflammation.

    This would account for the all starch diet being able to fix insulin resistance (no free fatty acids). It’s a mechanistic explanation that works for me. i don’t understand it fully, but it seems to fit.

    Obviously going all glucose isn’t super healthy, and I wouldn’t recommend it, but it has been a puzzle on why it works in some circumstances.

    i.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlsjnLMANDQ




  • 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.
