Science + Opinions

Revisado: 11-19-23

I liked that he lays out a simple formula of staying away from larger than 8 grams of fructose if you want to not trigger a cascade of bad health. However, he mixes a lot of opinion on the science and sometimes it takes away the credibility of the science. For example, he goes to great lengths to describe how hunter/gatherers from the past benefited from our fructose switch. However he can't also realize that all of the rest of the year those same people would have been primarily eating red meat, so why does he insist on lots of opinions about the dangers of red meat even though that is perhaps the single greatest non-inflamitory food that we certainly have evolved to eat. Also his hall pass offered to Gatorade simply because his good friend made it was not consistent with how fructose would lower ATP and contribute to NAFLD, diabetes, and other conditions. Also his concern of LDL-c needs to be reexamined...especially after within a few weeks when Dave Feldman releases the Lean Mass Hyper Responder study results showing high LDL-c on a low-carb diet is not contributing to plaque formation or progression outside at rates different than "good" LDL-c levels.

fast forward your rabbit holes

Revisado: 03-01-23

save yourself 1000 random YouTube videos and just listen to this book instead. it summarizes many rabbit holes of health that you won't find in traditional media. Dave isn't afraid to invest in companies that make products to improve health, so he has numerous conflicts of interests of promoting many of his products as a solution to better health. however, I am OK with that because he likely did a lot of due diligence before investing in these companies so this book is sort of a summary of why he felt it would be important enough to invest.

Besides the Bible, this is the best book ever written. Especially loved the podcast/ audio book format. I had no idea who David Goggins was prior to downloading this audio book, but in many ways he will now change my future.

Tough act to follow

Revisado: 12-07-22

The first book helped pioneer barefoot running, so I guess my expectations were very high for the 2nd book too. It felt like the main ideas could be a good YouTube video and not necessarily a full book. The section about food consumption started well, but took a hard turn to pander to the vegan community since he would have started that fan base in his first book. I have been on the carnivore diet for a year, dropped 35lbs in the first 7 weeks of it, and quickly evaporate any muscle soreness from running or lifting. He would certainly have been exposed to this optimal way to approach the low carb diet so it was really unhelpful to most people by focusing on all the vegan recipes because many of those would increase inflammation and kick them out of the fat fuel ketosis he is trying to have as a goal. Just eat 5 eggs in the morning, a pound of hamburger for lunch and maybe some salmon or sardines for dinner and you will be pain free and feeling your best.
