A little backstory to today’s photo. Last week, Dr. Berry had posted:
While I am very much biased towards low-carb and keto, magical thinking makes me nervous. I’ve been long told that as I grow older, I shouldn’t expect to bodybuild.¹ Not that I want to, but a more time-efficient gym workout is, of course, a very attractive option.
So, I asked the good doctor:
He responded;
Le sigh.
Social network cheerleading puts me into full skeptic mode. As an aside, Dr. Berry’s cheerleading seems to be increasing, btw. I figured I’d get a “second opinion,” Dr. Naiman, naturally.
He responded:
More terse, but aligns with Dr. Berry, in a very rhetorically minimal way.
SO… This morning, I’ve pushed my weight routine to exhaustion. I am a gelatinous mass now. The sting shall come, I expect. We’ll see. I’m still in a “n=1” frame of mind on this.
¹ I’ve also been long told to avoid fats, yadda yadda yadda. I’ve been fed a pack of nonsense. I get that. I was skeptical when I started low-carb eating. Better to be doubtful in most things.
