To anyone out there with the 'i can eat whatever I want without getting fat' idea, yeah it's not quite like that. Cholesterol and visceral fat are killers. So yeah, eat as much as you like but the healthy food factor applies to us all.

My cholesterol is unhealthily low, what do

You will not regret eating 18-20 avocados in a day

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I can't afford that. They don't just grow on trees

You might, but a life without avocado regrets is a life avocado-unlived 🤷

Talk to a doctor instead of a buncha chuckle-fucks on the internet.

Oh yeah they don't know anything

Your concept of cholesterol is well outdated.

The ancient idea: cholesterol is bad

The old idea: there is low density cholesterol which is bad and high density cholesterol which is good

The current idea: there is low density cholesterol which is returning unloaded high density cholesterol which is good; there is high density cholesterol which is good; there is small dense cholesterol which is bad. That's all really hard to test for, so get a coronary calcium score instead

Cholesterol carries fat around your body for energy. If you eat too much carbohydrate too often you never give your body any chance to use the fat...

(your body burns energy from most dangerous to least: alcohol immediately as it's a literal poison; sugars (the main energy in carbohydrate based food) second as too much will destroy nerves - excess is converted to fat and stored to prevent too high concentrations until or unless that system is broken (type 1 diabetes) or over used (type 2) - ; then fat (excess fat is evacuated via faeces or vomit); then protein (protein tastes bad after you have had enough, so it's hard to overeat))

... and so the cholesterol fails, breaking up and spewing out its load of fat. So the blood test that actually gives useful cholesterol information is high cholesterol with high free fatty acids (FFA) because the FFA is high because of the failed cholesterol

That's a simplified version and isn't quite technically correct, I'm not a scientist in that area so I'm not good at recalling the full detail.

We evolved in an environment where most of the year there was mostly meat to eat, along with whatever perennial plants can be found in winter. In summer for a few weeks whatever fruit grew near you was available.

We haven't had time to adapt to eating grass seeds (wheat, rice, corn, barley, etc). We have only had those in any large amount for 10 000 years which is a blink of an eye evolutionarily. The native Americans of the Great Plains ate only buffalo, eating it fresh during mass kills in summer, and preserving tons of meat and fat as "pemmican" a 50/50 blend of pounded dried meat with melted buffalo fat, sewn into buffalo skins for the rest of the year. When Europeans first saw them they described them as more fine nude than a noble in his finest clothes, tall and built like Adonis. Learning all this I changed to eating only animal products (beef and eggs) and found my health improve incredibly. It helped that I'm allergic to many grasses, including lawn, bamboo, and wheat, and cutting wheat out of my diet, along with all processed foods could only be good

You are correct on excess visceral fat. It'll kill you. Those broken cholesterol molecules - the small dense cholesterol - is the stuff that collides with blood vessel walls and accumulates calcium. Chronic carbohydrate consumption gives you coronary artery disease.

TLDR; too much carbohydrate too often breaks the body's fat transport system making the newly discovered bad cholesterol which causes heart disease

What the hell is a "roastie?"

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 135 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (6 children)

I think it means an older woman, referring to her vagina resembling "roast beef", implying it and her to be undesirable.

Idk, something misogynistic

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 48 points 4 months ago

Correct. Jealous, resentful people making fun of other people for having sex. Tale as old as time.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Your comment is helpful and appropriate in context, yet it is difficult not to downvote it due to its content.

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Downvote OP for posting misogynist shit and not the person pointing out out (on request, no less)

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 children)

The op didn't make the original 4chan post, it's funny because actual OP is clearly an idiot, misogyny included.

Very much a "laughing at" not "laughing with" situation.

I thought it meant that she was a roastie as in sizzling hot. Dunno, never grilled a woman before.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Seems more like a term to describe someone who roasts other people.

Which is exactly what happened in the text.

A woman who, from having multiple sexual partners, has her stuff look like roast beef. Another reply mentioned older women but it is used for any woman, really.

It's... yeah.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 4 months ago

Maybe a waitress managing her workload with lightly roasting the customers. With an experienced roastie that's actually funny and entertaining.

One of my favourite restaurants closed down over Covid. It had an awesome roastie from Berlin. I actually celebrated my wedding there. I miss him.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 52 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Not really interested in seeing incel shit on here even if it's self-deprecating.

[–] pkmkdz@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (7 children)

Not sure what your angle is but you can just block a community (or instance). Telling people what they can post usually doesn't work

Mad about 4chan shit on a 4chan community

[–] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 months ago

Block the community?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

What did you expect from 4chan??

Incel misogynistic slur for "woman", referring to their genitals as resembling roast beef.

[–] weststadtgesicht@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

They don't like women that much over there. Maybe East Asian women but even then those living in East Asia, not ones in Western countries.

You succeeded, Anon.

[–] username_unavailable@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

You were going for a joke about needing help burning off those calories later OP.

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fat phobia and misogyny, neat 📸
