New US Dietary Guidelines out; not much changed, I’m apparently still dying
The methodology used to develop and update this Pattern continues to be grounded in that of the food guides USDA has developed for the last 30 years.
“we didn’t cause the deaths of millions of Americans by telling them to eat more carbs, so we’re going to continue the same way. But you should limit added sugar. Saturated fat and salt are still going to kill you”. In Appendix 7 they list out the new nutritional goals. Let’s see, for me they’re recommending:
- 2200 calories
- only 56g of protein
- 130g of carbohydrates
- 48 to 85g of total fat with less than 24g of saturated fat despite the evidence that saturated fat has nothing to do with heart disease
- There’s no recommendation anymore on cholesterol but they want to you know they still think it’s bad (even though the previous link says it’s not)
- I should keep my sugar below 55g a day
- RDI of 2300mg of sodium
So… apparently I’m dead or dying because the only one I adhere to is <55g of sugar a day. Goodbye cruel world or something.
Interview I did about Keto Chow and Ketosis
I linked this in another post but didn’t want it to get lost in the shuffle, so it’s getting its own post! Check out the interview at http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/pellissier20160105
The interview was done via email, which was nice since it gave me time to think well about my answers and re-read them. My responses were largely completely unaltered, just some minor tense changes so it would fit an interview style. I should have added more hyperlinks =)

KetoChow Sub-Reddit plus a video
A couple days ago somebody suggested that I created the /r/ketochow subreddit. Sounded like a good idea, so I did it. (more…)
