There might be hope for the longevity of the forum yet.

>>Diet trends like intermittent fasting and ketogenesis are proving wildly popular for their rapid weight-loss effects, but scientists are also starting to uncover how they might benefit the body in other, longer term ways. Case in point: a molecule produced during fasting has now been found to apply the brakes to aging of the vascular system, a process closely tied to the aging of the human body as a whole.

When the body enters ketosis, a metabolic state induced by fasting and low-carb diets, it turns to the body’s stored fats for energy, rather than glucose. One of these sources of energy, known collectively as ketones, is a molecule called β-Hydroxybutyrate.<<

Here’s another piece of disinformation from the Charles Perkins Centre Research Program at the University of Sydney

It’s simply not possible to target the location of fat loss. Here’s why.

As a result, the fat stores we’re using for energy when we exercise come from everywhere in our bodies – not just the areas we’re targeting for fat loss.

Factors outside of our control influence the areas and order in which our bodies store and lose fat, namely:

• our genes
• our gender
• our age.
  

Spot reduction is a myth – we can’t control where our bodies lose fat. But we can achieve the results we’re seeking in specific areas by targeting overall fat loss.

So apart from we thought gender was a social construct and sex would be more likely to affect fat distribution, it turns out that fat can be redistributed.

This medication is used to reduce excess fat in the stomach area (abdomen) in people with HIV infection who have changes in the way their body fat is distributed.

Wait up…

…bear in mind that many people still innocently use “gender” as a synonym for “sex”. Gender ideology takes advantage of that when it suits certain aims.
