How I Learned #Nutrition from #twitter:
@DrNadolsky & @BioLayne - Can you even LIFT w/o carbs bro?
@drandyphung & @DoctorTro - Won't we eat less w/o carbs?
@drjasonfung - If you fast & drink green tea you'll eat less
@tednaiman - Focus on protein & you will eat less #thePEdiet

Alex Hormozi explains why he podcasted 4.5 years for 2K downloads.

"To be a top 1% podcaster, you have to upload 21 podcasts. 21. Top 1%. 90% of people don't get past one. 9% don't get past 20. And then 1% of podcasters of all of them make it to 21 plus"

"I spent 4 and a half years making two podcasts a week straight. Didn't miss. And guess how many podcast downloads I was getting per month at the end of that. 2 to 3,000 downloads a month. Not a lot"

Mark Wahlberg’s daily routine is no joke, and he runs on an 18:6 intermittent fasting schedule.

He wakes up, takes vitamins, cold plunges, trains, then eats his first meal around 8 AM: 5 eggs, pork chop, smoked salmon, Greek yogurt, berries, and green juice. Followed by chicken + sweet potato at 11, salmon sashimi + salad at 2, and a steak + fish + vegetables for dinner. Eating window closes around 8 PM.

18:6 fasting (18 hours fasted, 6-hour eating window) improves insulin sensitivity, boosts growth hormone, enhances autophagy (cellular cleanup), and supports fat loss while preserving muscle, especially when combined with high protein and resistance training like Wahlberg does.

At 50+, he finally figured out that doing less extreme stuff (no more 7-day training + 8 meals a day) actually works better. It’s a reminder that consistency and recovery often beat pure intensity.

What’s your experience with intermittent fasting — 16:8, 18:6, or something else? Has it helped your energy or body comp?

Restricting carbohydrates may sound like an unlikely approach to treating anorexia, but following a ketogenic diet was linked to recovery in nearly 75 per cent of people with the eating disorder in a small trial https://t.co/3oemOWrdm8

Dr. Mindy Pelz laid out a practical fasting schedule:

- 3-day water fast twice a year (e.g. January & September) to clear senescent cells

- 48-hour fast once a quarter for mental health & mood

- 36-hour fast once a month if weight loss is stuck
24-hour fast once a week as a baseline

- Shorter daily windows (12–17 hours) the rest of the time, adjusted around your cycle

Prolonged fasting (48–72 hours) significantly ramps up autophagy and stem cell regeneration. Valter Longo’s research shows periodic 3-day fasts or fasting-mimicking diets can reduce biological age markers. Shorter fasts (24–36h) improve insulin sensitivity and fat loss.

Different fasting lengths trigger specific benefits, from cellular cleanup to better mood and metabolism.

What fasting schedule have you found works best for you?

Dana White’s jet lag hack is wild.

He fasts the entire long flight (he already does intermittent fasting) and drinks hydrogen water the whole way. He’s done it to Australia, Abu Dhabi, and New York, and says he gets zero jet lag.

He’s so into it he just bought a bigger hydrogen water machine.

Fasting during travel helps reset circadian rhythms by aligning meal timing with the destination’s local time, reducing jet lag symptoms. Molecular hydrogen (in hydrogen-rich water) acts as a selective antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation caused by high-altitude flight conditions, which may further aid recovery and energy levels.

Jet lag ruins travel. If this combination really works, it’s a simple, low-cost hack for frequent flyers.

Have you tried fasting on long flights before?

For fifty years the world's obesity advice has come down to one phrase. Eat less. Move more.

A Harvard pediatric endocrinologist named David Ludwig spent twenty years showing it was the wrong answer.

Ludwig directs the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children's Hospital. He is a professor at both Harvard Medical School and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He has spent his career treating the most obese children in New England.

The standard playbook was not working. The kids cut calories. They tried harder. They came back heavier.

So Ludwig started asking a different question. What if the calorie was not the lever.

He built what he calls the carbohydrate-insulin model.

Refined carbs spike your insulin. Insulin tells your body to store fat. After the spike your blood sugar crashes. Your body interprets the crash as starvation. You get hungry again. You eat. You store more fat. You crash again.

It is a feedback loop. And the loop runs on the carbohydrate, not the calorie.

In November 2018 his team published the result in the British Medical Journal.

164 adults. 12 percent body-weight loss on a run-in diet. Then randomly assigned to high-carb, moderate-carb, or low-carb at calorie levels designed to maintain their new weight.

For twenty weeks straight.

The low-carb group burned over 200 extra calories per day at the same body weight as the high-carb group. The effect was larger in participants with the highest insulin secretion.

Read that again.

Same body weight. Same maintenance calories. The low-carb body was running 200 calories per day hotter.

That number ends every "a calorie is a calorie" debate the moment you read it.

Ludwig is not a fringe figure. He is the most credentialed voice in nutrition science quietly dismantling the orthodoxy from the inside.

His 2016 book Always Hungry has been on the New York Times bestseller list. His 2021 paper in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition formalized the model into a unified theory of obesity.

The standard advice is not just wrong. It is the wrong question.

Eat less and move more is what you say when you do not understand the disease.

Every gram of sugar you eat binds to proteins in your body. That process is called glycation. It ages your tissues, stiffens your arteries, and clouds the lens of your eye. Your cereal did not mention that on the box.

High blood sugar is not just a diabetic problem. It is a slow, consistent form of tissue damage that most people are accumulating three times a day.

Love it or hate it, the fact remains that I effectively made a prospective bet on my own life.

And was right…

For nearly a decade, I lived with cholesterol levels previously associated almost exclusively with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia—a condition in which children can develop plaque within the first year of life and suffer heart attacks as young as six.

Despite that, 0 mm3 (soft or calcified) after 7 years of cholesterol ~700 and ApoB so high maybe labs reported > {upper bound}

Recall, hoFH kids get plaque as they’re getting their baby teeth… and there are plant-based influencers in their 30s with far more plaque than me.

“He’s young” isn’t an answer.
But I was right.

Was I simply one of the luckiest people alive?

Maybe.

Or maybe we’re onto something…

Beware of Big Food’s new trick: engineer processed starches to count as “fiber,” subtract them from total carbs, call the product “2 net carbs,” qualify for “Keto Certified” labels, then slap unregulated marketing claims like “GLP-1 Friendly” on the front.

My sons are at the age now where it is VITAL that I teach them how money is linked to creating VALUE.

For most of their lives, money has flowed from dad to them. They need new shoes? Dad buys them etc.

Tonight, we are sitting down at the dinner table to implement *THIS* plan. I think this will be one of the most important things I do as a father.

Thank you @LewisHowes & @imScottDonnell for putting this in my feed at the right moment.
