It's a little hard to tease out some of the details here but if I'm reading it right calories were cut by about 500 a day. UPF (junk food) was decreased by a third and there was zero attempt at blinding or using a control. Oh and each person got $100 to put towards groceries each week.

After the end of the 8 weeks people lost an average of 7.7 pounds, Which is acceptable because anything more than 2 pounds a week is unsustainable and this just under one pound a week is slow enough that the body won't recognize that it's being starved and retaliate. So it sucks you have to go slow but slow wins long term. But buried in the details is that the standard deviation was 6.6 pounds meaning someone might have lost just 1.1 pounds and someone else might have lost 14.3. there is no way to tell from the released data what that standard deviation of a whopping 86% looked like in the individual level. I don't know if I could bring myself to publish a study with a standard deviation of 86%. I'd be afraid of getting bullied in the break room.

There should be a $100 per week for groceries study with zero interventions like counseling. Do you know how much healthier I would eat with $100 a week? I don't buy boxed mac and cheese because I want to. I buy it because I can't buy anything else.

It's kinda weird that UPFs accounted for 75% of the subjects diet to begin with. But then I see people's shopping carts and the amount of calories consumed as liquid sugar is insane. And I'm guilty of drinking too much ginger ale myself.

Trump is now in charge of every agency, independent or otherwise. All changes must go through him. This includes agencies that Congress established to not be managed by the executive branch.

Separation of powers is dead. Executive supremacy is law. The Constitution was destroyed by those claiming to save America.

 

A dictatorship, if you can keep it

Human rights are so last year. Parents go to Getmo. Kids get dropped at the airport after landing in whatever country we think they might belong in. This is the new America. Up next we remove due process for citizens.

Did you see Section 31? People standing around in a circle telling us what they will do, then doing it, and finally telling us what they did. It felt like it burned a third of the screen time.

Came here to post the interview. Good stuff. Incriminating stuff.

I'm not on ca. I'm on world. But I can see how I might have been first because I had just hit the scales sort and it was the first post I saw. It's possible that I was in before anyone else on the instance.

It was a big zero. Nothing but the group description.

I'm also on boost. I didn't go back because it was completely empty.

Apparently RFK Jr also wants to bring back slavery. Let the organic hunger games begin.

The number of pods with no show notes is way too high.

 

Somehow the White House completely failed to mention the name of this released hostage. They made it all about Trump. The hostage is journalist Andrey Kuznechyk.

 

Marc Hilliard Fogel is an American schoolteacher who was arrested in August 2021 by Russian authorities for trying to enter Russia with 0.6 ounces (17 g) of medical cannabis. In June 2022, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison. He was released from Russia on February 11, 2025 -- Wikipedia

 

He has or has tried to fire all of the investigators and the record keepers. He is fully set up to not be accountable. Classic dictator move.

 

Finally, one I'm fine with.
