    Increased Androgens: A pilot study on male volunteers (1 g/day for 1 month) found that DCI administration was associated with a +23.4% increase in testosterone and a +13.8% increase in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Reduced Estrogens: In the same study, DCI significantly reduced estrone levels (-85.0%) and reduced estradiol levels (-14.4%). Androgen Precursors: In addition to DHEA, other androgen precursors like epiandrosterone also increased (+39%). Aromatase Inhibition: DCI is believed to act as an aromatase down-modulator (inhibitor), reducing the conversion of androgens (like testosterone) into estrogens (like estradiol and estrone). D-chiro-inositol (DCI) acts to mimic insulin and also stimulate PDHP (pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase), which in turn dephosphorylates and activates PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase). Acute Post-Meal Reduction: Clinical studies have shown that DCI, often in combination with myo-inositol, can acutely reduce the insulin spike that typically follows glucose or carb intake. Improved Sensitivity: By enhancing the activation of the insulin receptor pathway (specifically IRS2 and GLUT4), DCI allows the insulin already present in your system to work more effectively. Sparing Effect: Because DCI mimics certain insulin actions—like promoting glucose uptake into muscle and fat—it can have an insulin-sparing effect, meaning the body achieves the same blood sugar control with lower systemic insulin levels. taking D-chiro-inositol (DCI) or similar mimetics with carbohydrates can reduce the body's overall need for insulin by improving how cells process glucose.

    also posting here, someone on rpf posted about embryo rice, this is something I am looking into, apparently, and im not sure, it is usually brown rice , and in the package they will also put in the embryo from the processing of other rice into white rice to boost the nutrients. I might be wrong, it might also be brown rice that is only partially processed so that it removes something but retains the embryo, im not sure, it's sold at asian supermarkets and I haven't tried it yet.

    @Mulloch94 identity politics is dumb. Correct, identity politics is objectively rightist. The Marxian class theory is junk. Ultraleftism is bad. Xi Jinping called the class struggle of the late Mao period a "leftist mistake". The class structure of a society is a powerful explanatory factor in its functioning, though. India is worse off than China, despite starting in a similar place in the 1980s, because of the caste system's retardation of development. The typical "indian factory" video online consists of almost early-industrial constructions from the 1800s. Similar story for UK vs USA. Or Nazi Germany vs USSR. Less class tension means more coherence, productivity, war-fighting prowess. Which is why the US will lose to China in the next few decades, BTW, unless something incredible happens internally (it won't, though, until the bitter end) The same social networks that enabled Capitalism to rise are the same ones that allow Communism to function. Yep. And when those networks fail, you get a breakdown in the system (which we have seen). Sure. Requiring the establishment of new networks, and re-definition of the existing ones. This is the revolution and the historical-materialist development, et c.

    @torobravo Not really. High carb makes me hungry and I haven't seen much results with low fat milk or low fat in general. Lots of sunlight seems to help but between cold climate and chemtrails it's rare. There was a time I dropped a decent amount, I was eating yogurt and fruit daily. But that basically ended by winter which is >7 months where I'm at. My theory is lots of pufa early in life, stress, emf radiation are keeping things stagnant. I don't lift or run but have a lot of walking / physical work. I'm almost certain sugar is being stored as fat.

    @yeyo12 said in Starch and Dairy problems: What the hell am I supposed to eat lol For breakfast I often eat 2 fruits and a protein (ham or 1 slice Gouda cheese). No acid in the winter period. Take one tsp coconut oil. If you need more calories, double the portions. For midday meal, begin with a soup or a salad. Soup in a thermos if you work outside. The salad has been prepared the day before. Vary the type. I take one slice or two of the preceding evening cooked meat. If you want more calories, Greek yoghurt (150 g / 6 oz.) with a banana (ripe to avoid starch) or grape + honey or coconut sugar or muscovado. I target 50 g sugar (400 Kg) with a balance between glucose and fructose. White cheese (full fat) is an option too, in order to avoid an excess of one type intestinal bacterium. Variety is a key element if you don't want to suffer from bacterial overgrowth of one kind. If still hungry, you eat one slice of home made bread or 2 slices of Wasa: two slices of wholemeal Wasa (wheat rusk with sesame seeds). With butter and jam or apple and pear syrup. Adapt to what you like and / or tolerate. But vary ! One or two fruit for a snack. + tea or coffee with a biscuit. You can also prepare a shake with useful nutrients to balance acid-base minerals (Mg K Ca + other required nutrients). For the evening meal: Alternate rice, pasta (spaghetti /simple noodles) , frozen vegetables prepared in a wok + chicken breast or roast duck or whatever you like, but vary... NB: I use hazelnut milk instead of cow milk. No rice nor almond milk (glycemia) when I eat oat: Jordan simply crunchy (oat) (or the natural kind (simple oatmeal) + 1 tsp honey), 6 half pecan nuts, 1 tbsp raisin, shredded coconut + 240 ml hazelnut milk. You can add a half apple or other seasonal red fruits (strawberries or blueberries) Adapt to your tolerance and target (for PUFA).

    @16charactersitis said in starting T3: I think ray alluded to the likelihood that most have too much Iodine if I understood correctly RP has suffered from an immune reaction (acne). So he had a pre-conceived feeling. And what is found on internet is an interview by Rita Lee. She gets the information out of him (she drags it out of RP). She puts the questions and gives the answers (rhetorical questions). RP has never explained clearly why, except repeating the mainstream idea, still not developing the reason.

    I think Peating changed for me from a method of "feeling OK" (vs. feeling straight up bad often) to a method of feeling great when I started including weekly beef liver slices. idealistic Read V. I. Lenin's "Materialism and Empirio-Criticism". Or just watch the Cockshott video on the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-VQkT8TcJM Ray Peat Said: One of Lenin's best pieces of writing was explaining essentially that the concept of materialism in the West is pure idealism, absolutely the negation of materialism in Lenin's sense. Lenin said knowledge is composed of memory, but the memories are recordings of experience, and experience is always new. The source of experience is matter, and so matter is only what is potential to be experienced. So materialism means looking to the future and the possibilities of experience, where the genetics and reductionists try to base their rationalism on an organization of existing knowledge, pre-existing ideas, and breaking those down into logical, computable units and so on. The essence of Lenin's type of materialism is essentially identifying it with the life process, the process of being conscious and having new experience is the process of interacting with the material world. So this is the same idea as Aristotle's prima matter, the pure potential out of which everything arises. Yep, creative potential.
