Someone on the Tweeters asked to tell them what I am proud of accomplishing this year. Here's my list:

1. Grow the user community I am responsible for: https://community.checkpoint.com
2. Reduce my A1C to the normal non-diabetic range
3. Maintain 100lb/45kg of weight loss with #NSNG and #IntermittentFasting despite 175k miles/281km of airline travel

Been a busy year.

The Best Evidence Yet That Not All Calories Are Created Equal

The study doesn't prove low carb is better at weight loss, but it does improve how many calories your body burns. Which definitely helps you lose weight.

I'm not in a shiny metal tube for once. 😂

Meanwhile, my holiday season just got a little more interesting. I'll spare y'all the details, but what I can say is "That escalated quickly."

Here I am, proud of losing 100 pounds. This bloke from Melbourne lost 98 *kilos* (about 215 pounds, almost half his body weight) and is running marathons now. I'm a slacker compared to this guy.

We should be applying the Pareto principle to our health. And, if you think you might be at risk for heart disease, get a CAC scan.

So where is this evidence that Red Meat is bad for us, exactly?

Next business trip is complicated enough that I need the travel agent to do it for me. The trip after that to Tel Aviv? Not so much.

When I eliminated carbs from my diet, I eliminated my Type 2 Diabetes and 100 pounds. Feel better than I have in years.

So are carbs really bad for me? I'd say yes.

Did anyone see the Amazon commercial where they used Can You Feel It? Why do I get the feeling Michael Jackson rolled over in his grave? I’m sure whoever owns his music rights is quite rich.

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday here in status symbol land…

Gary Taubes at Low Carb Houston, 2018

A proper investigative journalist who went down the diet rabbit hole some years ago only to discover everything we’ve been told since the 1960s is completely wrong.

A bit long but worth the watch.

Been a while since I fired this bad boy up. Chalk up!

Been a while since I’ve been able to sit on my patio. It’s not too bad out here for a late fall afternoon.

Just reviewed my lifetime miles on United and Delta.

United (going back to the early 1990s): 409,233
Delta (going back to 2010, becoming my primary airline in 2015): 532,222

That’s a lot of shiny metal tube time.
