Greetings From San Diego

April 30 7:45 in About Diet Doctor, Conferences, Travel reports

San Diego

The obesity conference in San Diego is over. Highlights included plenty of interesting lectures, dinners with Jimmy Moore (thinner than ever after a year of measuring his ketone levels) and Dr Jeffry Gerber, drinks and NuSI-talk with Gary Taubes (exciting news coming up) and discussions with the insanely impressive Dr Peter Attia (who recently recieved a standing ovation at TEDMED – video to be posted). And one more thing… surfing in the Pacific Ocean with ASBP president-elect Dr Eric Westman.

In less than one week it’s time for this year’s low-carb cruise in the Carribean, so it was hardly worth flying home to Sweden before that. To spend the time in between I checked into a small hotel on Pacific Beach, San Diego, where I’m writing this (by the arrow above). Life’s not too bad.

I’m just about to board the flight to the ASBP obesity conference in San Diego. After that it’s time for the annual low carb cruise in the West Indies. Reports are coming up!

Four Weeks of Strict LCHF and Ketone Monitoring

March 18 19:28 in About Diet Doctor, Exercise, Ketone Measuring, Low Carb High Fat, Weight Loss

Can ketone measurement help you lose weight and improve performance? That’s the main question I’ll be trying to answer with my four-week experiment.

See Report #1 for diet and experiment design.

Note: This experiment was done six months ago and initially only reported on my Swedish blog. This is a somewhat delayed translation!

Below are graphs of my weight and waistline over this first four-week period, as well as the results of blood and urine ketone measurements.

After two to three weeks of light nutritional ketosis, I’ve now spent 8 days in “optimal ketosis” – that is, between 1.5 – 3 mmol/L. Want to know what’s happened?

One Hundred Weight Loss Blogs

March 2 16:53 in About Diet Doctor, Weight Loss

Here’s a list of the “top 100 weight loss blogs to follow”. I like Authority Nutrition at #18. I don’t consider this blog to be a weight loss blog, but it’s at #11:

Top 100 Weight Loss Blogs To Follow In 2013 [Infographic]

Apparently there’s no links, so if you want to check out the blogs you have to type in the adress yourself. Consider yourself warned.

More Milestones for Diet Doctor

February 27 12:54 in About Diet Doctor, The Food Revolution

24000

Fantastic. More and more people are being told about this site. The number of visitors are just exploding, blasting past 20,000 visits per day like nothing*.

As always, a big thanks to everybody telling their friends and family. Together we’ll help more and more people in need of the truth behind all the diet-and-health misinformation. We’ll help more and more people regain their health.

Another milestone

This site also reached 10,000 likes on Facebook yesterday. Welcome all!

*/ One reason for the recent dramatic increase could be the start of daily updates instead of a few times a week. I’ll try to keep it up as long as there are important and interesting things to write about (which should be forever).

February 21 18:27 in About Diet Doctor, Exercise, Gary Taubes

This is cool. Here’s a list of 40 experts that are “changing the fitness industry” – and I’m one of them. It gets even better, on the same list are three of the most impressive people I know: Mark Sisson, Gary Taubes and Peter Attia.

40 Game-Changing Experts Shaping The Fitness Industry

As far as I’m aware the list isn’t only about having game-changing six packs. It just seems like it at the top of the list.

More and More Visits to DietDoctor.com

February 19 16:57 in About Diet Doctor

Visits for Diet Doctor

Wow. More and more people are being told about this site. The number of visits are increasing every week and yesterday was a new record: More than 16,000 visits in a day. The chart above shows the number of daily visits since 2011.

A big thanks to everybody telling their friends about this site. There’s a lot of disastrous misinformation about diet and health out there, resulting in millions of people suffering needlessly. Together we can help at least some of them.

Visits

So who visited DietDoctor.com yesterday? Most people were from the US (10,776), Canada (1,102), the UK (972) and Australia (463). Also there were quite a few South Africans (195). The food revolution is getting started there as well.

All in all there were visits from 116 countries. Where are you from?

A Food Revolution in South Africa

November 18 2012 12:50 in About Diet Doctor, Presentations, Travel reports

I’m about to leave South Africa after a great week. Apart from just enjoying this fantastic place we (me, Monique Forslund and professor Tim Noakes) did three lectures on LCHF, and one debate, at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa and at the University of Cape Town Medical School.

It really feels like professor Noakes has started a LCHF revolution in South Africa that might one day catch up to the one in Scandinavia. A lot of smart people – like doctors, students and health coaches – are starting to fully get it. It feels like it did in Sweden a couple of years ago (we’ve gotten even further now).

I’ll end by quoting a tweet from professor Noakes from after the last event – that went two hours over because of all the questions – at UCT:

“Fat power”. I like it.
