“The Mediterranean diet pattern is rich in micronutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fish, and olive oil and has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other major causes of death.”

“In this clip from Q&A #84, she shares a personal protein minimum of 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight daily and a usual intake closer to 1.3 to 1.4 grams. Her first meal rotates among whole-fat yogurt with blueberries and almonds, a turkey burger with raw kale and pumpkin seeds, and homemade chicken soup.”

“The same meta-regression found a breakpoint near 1.62 grams of total protein per kilogram per day, above which further fat-free-mass gains were not detected on average. That value is a population estimate rather than a hard ceiling for every person.”

“A recent randomized-control study showed that babies fed formula fortified with milk fat globule membranes and lactoferrin had accelerated neurodevelopment compared to babies fed normal formula. Breast milk also contains omega-3 fatty acids which are critical for brain development in infants.”

“A prolonged fast has additional benefits compared to an overnight fast. Overnight the body still has liver glycogen and is not forced to begin burning fat. However, after two days of fasting, or a fasting-mimicking diet, the body starts to burn visceral fat as energy.”

“On the other hand, for people interested in fat loss, breath acetone is a non-invasive tool for estimating fat loss. Dr. D'Agostino describes how he uses the Glucose Ketone Index – a single value biomarker representing the glucose-to-ketone ratio in the blood.”

“It does this by increasing brown fat and enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis – obvious ways to help the body stay warm. But the downstream effects of the response include reduced inflammation, improved mood, and – at least in endurance athletes – better performance.”

“Some studies suggest cheese may lower the risk of dementia and heart disease, despite its saturated fat content—raising questions about the effects of food structure, fermentation, and individual differences in metabolism.”

“A growing body of evidence, however, suggests that a ketogenic diet, which is low in carbohydrates and rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, contributes to overall health and may be beneficial in preventing many chronic diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.”

“Likewise, a recent study showed greater fat oxidation with afternoon exercise compared to morning exercise. However, some research suggests that fat oxidation induced during morning exercise can be increased with caffeine consumption.”
