I hope that’s real butter and not margarine! 
What did you learn today?

Recently listened to this podcast - http://lowcarbmd.com/episode-10-dr-cywes-lays-it-down - with Dr. Robert Cywes. He’s a bariatric surgeon(!) but big into prevention and habit change before surgery. Basically using the language of addiction to understand habits / motivations.
I work from home so it’s very easy to wander through the kitchen and munch. The quote that stood out for me was “every snack is an emotional event”… using food/carbs as a crutch. Think I’ve been doing this way too much (GGT=59). He advocates doing some salty/lemony drinks or quick exercise as a “bridge” to get past the urge.

No! They can waste all the margarine they want. I don’t think that baby ate any.
It’s the butter you want to protect!

Just joking around. I consider margarine to be a toxic substance. 
Also, don’t use it as a sunscreen unless you want crispy chicken skin.

I’m thinking about eating delicious egg yolks n sucking them off the top of the sunnyside egg. NomNomz
And also other deep stuff.

i think the yellow stuff is carbs… a drug that makes you sick and eventually turns the word dark …

I finally learned that when i prick the side of my finger facing down rather than the upper side it doesn’t hurt to type.

The more healthy I become and the lighter I become I find my body weight fluctuates a lot more. It can be pounds a day. Is this my fat cells taking on water? I can feel it in my fat rolls on my belly getting squishy when I fast and then firming up more 1 to 3 days after breaking the fast.
I’m KCKO. The trend is my friend.

I finally got my head around the idea of the null hypothesis.
The first time this idea was introduced to me was in 1978 by my geography teacher Mrs Wass (she had a lisp, which made her very memorable!! Try saying Mrs Wass our loud with a lisp! )
She was explaining the use of the null hypothesis to prove things. I didn’t understand it then, and to this day (until about 2 hours ago) I still didn’t get it.
But I just read an article (more cholesterol reading) and it mentioned null hypotheses, so I tried to figure it out.
And it made sense! We try to gather evidence for a hypothesis (of a relationship between 2 variables) by gathering evidence against the null hypothesis that there is NO relationship between 2 variables. Or something like that… not sure how long that is going to stick…
Those with a science major can correct me… I got an economics major, so I am good for nothing (except if you want to know about guns and butter)! Those that did economics will understand.

I learn today about ATP ( the primary source of the cells energy, adenosine triphosphate) that your body literally makes and consumes an amount of ATP equivalent to the entire weight of your body each day! This ATP is then converted into the various chemicals and componets needed to keep your body operating. These ATP come from within our mitochondria within each of our over ten trillion cells. And inside each mitochondria are spinning molecular motors that operate at close to 99.99% efficiency (gas motors operate at about 35% efficiency.) These motors are extremely tiny. You would need to line up 100,000 of them to reach 1 millimeter. They also spin at 1000 RPM while spewing out ATP molecules.
But where do these motors come from? These motors are made using information coming from the DNA molecule. In order to open the DNA molecule, energy from APT is needed. In order to make APT, the motor is needed.
The information needed to make the motors is in the DNA. It takes the motors ATP to open the DNA, but we can’t make the ATP unless the information to make the motor is provided. Complicated isn’t it? All the parts, processes, and instructions needed to be present and fully functioning from the beginning.
We have an incredibly complex and well designed body.

Not Keto-related, but today I learned that people are assholes. Ok, I didn’t JUST learn this; but this IG post really got me riled up today. Basically it’s someone laughing at a woman while watching her on “My 600 Lb. Life.” And I wasn’t gonna comment on it, but I just couldn’t help myself. Laughing at the plight of others is far from humorous.
