No one will be happy, but it is better. Had he used Calories, the Carb-Insulin model fans would have pushed back (which was what prompted his comment, and Ingested carbon atom is a mouthful).

KeyTones,
Ted looks so Lean…because he is!

Twitter quote today:
"I released The PE Diet in late 2019. While writing the book, I achieved a single digit body fat percentage for the first time in my life, which has been easy to maintain ever since. I’m sure other diet book authors do the same, although I can’t name any offhand… "

Photo of his app is at 9.1% Body Fat on average since 2019!

Yes, he is so lean!

I've seen his pics back several years. There was a pic comparison he posted somewhere of his bod on low carb, low carb plus training, then more recent pic into the PE age. He was lean after going low carb, then lean and more muscular when he added training (not sure on the macros, hard to remember if he posted them), then obviously more muscular and leaner yet with more definition on PE.

Anyway, he had these cherubic cheeks when I first saw him in 2007. I know he was already low carb back then, but I don't remember him talking to me about training or sprinting or anything like that back then. Anyway, the baby fat in his face was the main reason I thought he was a Doogie Howser situation - he wasn't, he would have been about 35, LOL-

Maybe that is why he scowls in his current photos? 😆
Definitely look older.

A new podcast dropped this morning on Apple with Vanessa Spina, the optimal protein podcast. Dr. Ted Naiman; proteins and longevity trade-offs, satiety per calorie, SPC, fat loss, and macros and more!
The controversies on Twitter about satiety is so ridiculous. I can’t believe people are still arguing about it and now today another controversy about insulin the carbohydrate insulin model.

Does anyone know if this forum is closed to new members? I pointed a lady here that wasn’t able to register for some reason.

Yes, sadly registration is closed to new members. The old platform is no longer working … though as a guest you can read many sections. For example, a guest can read Success Stories, but not Journals. A guest can read the Dr. Ted Naiman thread and it may appear in Google search results, but I do not know which other sub-forums are not publically available.

If I added something important to my journal I want to find again and be available publically…I add it to another comment like the Ted Naiman semi-LC thread, Media sub-forum, General Low Carb, Medical
/Health forums, are available.

Doreen T and Kristine…can you please update us on this? Is my understanding still correct?

Thank you Doreen and Kristine for all your work to kept an old forum chugging along

This was Doreen's answer in January 2023:

Oh wow, shoot, sorry to hear that!! Thank you for your reply-

And Another new Ted Naiman interview. Red letter day for P:E and SPC. Mikki Williden is a good interviewer, so I’m subscribed to her show.

Not an interview with Ted Naiman but with Dr Don Layman, interviewer Nutrition with Judy. Many good comments that supports Ted views, reason why some carbs are necessary, downsides of carnivore (Judy hosts a carnivore group), why BG increases, sleep impaired on ketogenic diet, distribution of protein over two meals, not OMAD.

Secret to Weight Loss without Losing Muscle.


But here is another new interview with Ted Naiman, named in an elite group of doctors by Vinnie Tortorich, "Doctors Without Shirts"

"THE BENEFITS OF PROTEIN
Dr. Ted Naiman returns to the show - Ted is very fit as he “walks the talk” of what he recommends to his patients. (2:30) Vinnie asks Ted his thoughts on protein and when to best eat it. They discuss protein absorption and eating windows, and how much the average person needs. Ted recommends what he calls “bookending” and gives an example. Neither recommends one meal a day (OMAD); Vinnie believes that people try to use OMAD as a form of diet trickery. (7:00) The two discuss protein powders and the differences between various types. They agree—food should always be first. Powders are only a supplement and shouldn’t replace real meal…Time stamps continue, very detailed if interested in the topics.

Hi Janet - sorry I didn't see this when you posted it. Yes, the info here is still correct, sadly.

Kristine - thank you for your reply.

JEY100 - I've heard Megan Ramos talk about chronic, daily OMAD several times. She says women tend to only eat about 700 calories when they do that and trips the starvation response. I see people all the time telling women to do it. Ugh.

Cathy, Megan must have changed her mind. OMAD was originally recommended to just about everyone, and she in particular suggested a 36-42 hour fast for older women, who were having difficulty losing weight. I did those, (every other day some weeks!) but not "clean water fasting" …lived on coffee. Think now that type of fasting worsened my nutrient deficiencies, but since I found it hard to fat, that didn’t last too long.

Kristine, Thank you for the info. Sorry to learn the Journals will not be available to new members.

Yes, thank you for all your efforts in keeping this going. Would it help if those of us with longer journals started new journals and archived or even deleted the old ones? I "printed" my current journal to PDF the other day so wouldn't mind if the old journal were scrapped. Just trying to think of ways to ease the burden of all the old data the site is carrying.

Well, we do ask members to start up a new thread when the current one reaches 2000 posts (see Long Journals / Threads for info). Text itself doesn't use up a lot of data, it's more the *activity* in a long thread, especially if there are many posts per day or if there are many users subscribed. That all needs to be indexed. Some other threads can be super sloowwww to load if there are a lot of externally-linked images. Most members have been happy to have a new thread around the 2000 post limit anyway .. an opportunity for a fresh start

Thanks, Doreen! My journal has 1,671 posts, so I'll let it go yet for a bit and then start a new one.
