Finland calling!

[Carburetor]

Hello everyone!

I'm a 61 years old culinarist keto veteran from Finland, first started low carb in 2004. On and off keto ever since... except 2016 I was diagnosed with many heart related problems,got a stent,too.

So :

Even though I DEFINITELY knew better, I fell in all the scary fat talk trap from docs and ended up eating low fat. "What if I destroyed my heart with fat after all...?" And so it happened that I gained 30 kilos in a few years eating low fat. My condition got worse every year.

Now I figured I don't want diabetes in this coctail so I'm back to keto. I don't want to be fat and weak. This is going great,as always. I feel good. Much less BP meds needed already.

I also quit Rosuvastatin because I noticed my legs are going... and Rosu definitely slowed down my metabolism. I was not sweating even in Sauna anymore, now I do.

My doctor is going to hate me. He said about Rosu "this pill is keeping you alive." Maybe but also fat,sick and weak. I want my legs completely back,they are better already.

I hope all this medical talk did not scare you. I'm doing fine and just bought another Kawasaki ZX-12R. Now I have green and red for different moods.

I know I don't look "fat" in this bike pic from last summer but being 6'3", I weigh 110 kg, waist 115 cm. Suit size #62. I used to be 85 kg, 90 cm waist and #56. And I am going back there no matter what my LDL says.

Now in retrospect,it may very well be that my earlier keto years made my 2016 attack as mild as it was. Had I been obese, who knows...

Welcome to Carnivore Talk Carburetor. I like the handle. Mixing fuel and air in the right mixture for optimal performance.

Nice ride brother. 
I’m more of a cruiser/bagger type but I like the sport bikes.

Welcome.

I like the name as well.

I was always taught 90% of what is wrong with a carburetor is timing. 

I have never been into the bikes as a rider or owner, but they are really cool to look at.

He said about Rosu "this pill is keeping you alive."

Lol. They are?

"They calculated, approximately, a single day of increase in life expectancy for each year of taking a statin. Slightly more in secondary prevention, slightly less in primary (people who have not previously had a heart attack or a stroke).

The main take away message I believe, is the following. Statins do not prevent fatal heart attacks and strokes. They can only delay them. They delay them by about one or two days per year of treatment. For those who have read my books you will know that I have regularly suggested we get rid of the concept of ‘preventative medicine’. We need to replace it with the concept of ‘delayative medicine’.

You cannot stop people dying. You can only make them live longer. How much longer is the key question. With statins this question has been answered. You can, to be generous, add a maximum of two days per year to life expectancy.

Which means that if you were to take a statin for thirty years you could expect to live about two months longer. (Possibly three, more likely one). Assuming, and this is a big assumption, that none of the trials done have been in any way biased towards statins. Even though every single one was funded by the pharmaceutical industry. Further assuming that any benefits seen in the trials will continue for the next twenty-five years."
