proposal: a fad diet thread in the exercise forum

reality: a mentally ill man resembling a melted candle, the pied piper of ham joints, told people that eating nothing but eggs and bacon and lard in paint buckets (they were literally buying and eating buckets full of lard in the name of good health) would not only make them lose weight, but was so healthy it would cure heart disease and cancer. an enormous fat powerlifter who cant run for 20 seconds probated and banned anyone who challenged this wisdom until it lead to a man barely in his 20s being prescribed statins.

The mod there was the founder of the grease and cheese diet. Was that Sizzlechest? He's referenced in the great goon quote as being the obese powerlifter that couldn't run for 20 seconds I believe.

Really? Are you loving serious?

The doctors are the ones who recommended us into an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and heart attacks in the first loving place because they are a bunch of mechanic fuckheads who go to school to earn good money and sound impressive at loving dinner parties! They're just as prone to incompetence and bullshit as the loving ex cons who work at jiffy lube!

Do what he says so you don't die?! Are you serious? These stupid fucks kill more people than the industries that make our food supply so lovely.

Terrifying some 21 year old kid for the wrong reasons is completely hosed. Adjust your diet, fine. Get a second opinion at bear minimum. Do what your doctor says so you don't die? What kind of loving manipulative terror tactic bullshit is that? How about make a decision based on some real loving information with someone who doesn't want to send you out the revolving door as fast as possible so he can bill the insurance and be done with it?

You know what statins *DON'T DO A GODDAMNED loving THING FOR?!* Hypothyroid! That LDL number is far more loving likely to be related to a thyroid condition--potentially a serious one than loving heart disease in a 21 year old kid who isn't obese and doesn't eat poo poo for a diet--no matter what the loving monkeys from FYAD think.

Shop around for doctors! Always loving shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

Change your diet, take the statin if you think it makes sense, but for the love of gently caress, shop around for doctors.

"Follow my advice or you will die" is really excellent motivation for a doctor to provide. That's almost literally what my last specialist said and I've been doing good for that specific issue.

Louisgod being upset makes sense, the dude ate like 20 lbs of that stuff a month at least, didn't he?

Sizzlechest eat the bread.

A quick summary of this thread:

-almost all of the links posted in this thread come from blogs
-you have routinely discredited scientists and doctors of being drones, robots, and other words you picked up while reading 1984
-sizzlechest is clearly insane
-dont eat a carb killed his/her dog by feeding it lowcarb
-TCM thinks doctors are part of some conspiracy
-someone said that there is literally no correlation between weightloss and exercise
-apparently calories do not matter at all as long as you don't ever eat bread
-a goon is literally about to die because of his hosed up cholestoral
-the mods have protected this thread from any perceived notions of trolling, going so far as to probate sexy posters like Smile who actually have dieted and exercised fairly successfully in the past because he offers different opinions
-every one of your spokes people seem to be overweight

Every time the words "bacon" "lard" "ground beef" or any mixture thereof are used in this thread are used you guys get really pumped up and weird and it's frightening. I'm frightened.

Also you guys seem to be in an eternal contest to make more hosed up and gross meals than the next guy and its revolting to the average poster.

I looked up a normal LDL level, it's between 100 and 120. "Greater than 160" is considered too high. His is 293.

I looked up what LDL was real quick and it's basically the kind of cholesterol that likes to build up on the sides of your arteries and turn into plaque that clogs them. Far as I understand it it's not "kill you instantly" sort of poo poo so much as "you will regret this in 5-10 years if you don't unfuck it". Unless he stopped that poo poo he's probs gonna end up with heart disease and feel loving horrible all the time.

Anyone remember the goon who decided to become a long haul trucker (I think with his dad?)

I remember a series of posts with long periods in between wherein he got more and more strung out and depressed and sometimes had weird moments of lucidity.

If he wasn't a goon I definitely heard about it here.

I remember the trucker that thought he was actually the reincarnation of a space dragon. Dunno, if I would ever be able to find his thread though.

Wasn't it an ask me about being a dragon or something?

The guy was being fully open about his dragon fantasy. It was pretty fascinating to read as his alter ego beastie wasn't that crash hot.

Plus he had a complete fictional history of how space dragon lived and died and came to be in his mind.

Anytime I can't remember how to do a certain emote and go to the smiley index I always end up wondering what half of the poo poo in there even is. Even the ones that look self-explanatory have weird loving names sometimes, like happyelf apparently resolves to :happyelf:, which is clearly not a happy elf at all, but what looks like a ninja blowing a bunch of rabbis up.

Happyelf was a notoriously anti-Israel poster, now permabanned. Once you know that, it all falls into place.

He wasn't permabanned for his views on Israel, he was permabanned for making GBS threads up the Trad Games forum.

Wasn't it also something where, like, the space dragons weren't even sapient or long-lived, so he basically was talking about being a space lizard-dog? I remember he was pointing to this as proof that it wasn't just a self-aggrandizing fantasy, but honestly, if you're going to believe you were a dragon in a past life, have some self-respect and make it a self-aggrandizing fantasy. Own that poo poo.
