Why do we get fat?

Too many calories?

I thought so too, but energy balance doesn’t explain why fat enters or leaves fat cells...

An intro to the concept of Fat Flux, why it should change how you think about diet, and how you can make it work in your favour.

@rct4040 @thesamparr +1 for this suggestion.

Oh, and if you have any weightlifting/yoga/mobility/PT friends you want to get rid of… simply share a few of their social posts. Dare you.

Marketing strategy aside, the core principles in here are very solid. I went from sceptical to high conviction.

@thesamparr Here’s one I suspect you haven’t tried…
@funcpatterns

Any chronic issue suggests something is not right with the system. Their approach is based around this.

Will it fix your granite calves? Who knows, but it helped massively with sciatica for me. 10/10 would recommend.

@Shpigford The product spotlight/stage lighting effect merging from the header to hero section is 🤩

@ColleenMBrady Hey Colleen, have you tried https://t.co/BAB1BkVChi?

@TimothyBramlett Not SaaS specific but honourable mention for https://t.co/YfUo6hSLuQ by @shl

@chodorowicz @AirrAudio @AirrAudio any updates on this issue? Experiencing the same problem.

[Simon Wright @_siwright]

@Shpigford Hey @Shpigford will this likely be on Republic again? I was a silly boy and missed out last time.

I've long been interested in new ways to organize science and enable curiosity-driven discovery. Today, in partnership with @Stanford, @UCBerkeley, and @UCSF, we're excited to announce Arc Institute, a new undertaking in this vein: https://t.co/NAOHTwFKuH.

@luketylermp3 If you’re a Mac user @CleanShot is worth a look

@thisiskp_ “…the shop window of your online business” h/t @machadogj

This covers a couple of important functions of landing pages:
1. Attention i.e. ‘passers by’ are interested in what you do.
2. Conversion - get people to commit to your offer by showing an aspirational end state.

@Daniel__France The best job posts are end of funnel i.e. as a job seeker I already want to be excited about a company. Bonus points for transparency and lack of jargon. Example? @Levels has an incredible content machine driving inbound (it worked on me!).

@thisiskp_ @recap_io is another option if you are in 🇬🇧 or 🇺🇸

@petergyang Wallets currently feel like the ��cost of entry’ to access tokens/NFTs. Don’t know whether that will change in the future, but those offering multi-key access with cloud backup (e.g. @GetLinen) make it less challenging for the average person to get started.

I’ll be writing more about metabolic health as a way to help improve my understanding of the topic. Hit follow → @_siwright for more of the good stuff (tweets, not fibre).

Too many calories?

I thought so too, but there’s a problem. Energy balance (calories consumed vs. burned) doesn’t explain why fat enters or leaves fat cells.

A DEEP dive into the concept of Fat Flux, and why it might change how you think about diet.
