    You’re embarking on a very deep literature journey! I’m aware that the most common form of male and female infertility is rooted in insulin resistance. PCOS, and ED.

    Ben Bikman covers female infertility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZCDl1NPk6g

    And male infertility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgH1qsZKZs8 I posted my notes from this lecture on Lemmy https://hackertalks.com/post/5634787

    What to do about insulin resistance? The fastest way to resolve insulin resistance is to not eat any sugar or carbs (a ketogenic diet). Eat a nutritionally complete diet (use something like cronometer to map it out), and you should see fast improvements in a few weeks/months.

    Happy to provide more references and guides on request, just let me know how technical you want them to be.

    The defacto medical text on ketogenic ( The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health) has a chapter on the endocrine impact the intervention. You can see a abstract here https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780128216170000103 . The book is very dense

    You can check your last lipid panel to see if you have insulin resistance, the TG/HDL ratio is strongly related to insulin resistance, you want it to be less then 1, the lower the better. If your annual checkup measured fasting glucose as well as fasting insulin (uncommon) you could compute your homa-ir.








  • Ground beef mixed with eggs, salt pepper etc. you can eat it Luke warm or heat it at the job site.

    Or hard boiled eggs, easy to travel, easy to eat.

    Both are good options providing good fats and protein for your job.

    The big thing is the make sure you have enough electrolytes (sodium, potassium) thought the day

    Some people think they need to carb load to do physical activity, that isn’t true. If you become fat adapted (ketogenic) you can tap into the tens of thousands of calories the human body stores as fat. The human body does not store sugar / carbs, you only have about 5g circulating in the blood stream at any time. The theory of carb loading is you try to replace that 5g of sugar as your using it in the blood stream, thats a hard game to play.

    Bonus: if you go full carnivore you won’t have to poop at the job site


  • You would be fine, you could do it for a long time.

    All carb meal: spike your blood sugar

    All protein meal: no issues

    All fat meal: no issues

    Fat is totally processed by the stomach/largesmall intestine, none of it makes it to the smalllarge intestine. I’ve done a fat fast before, so I can tell you from personal experience, no issues.

    Downsides: eating fat and protein before carbs in a single meal can reduce the glycemic spike of the carbs.

    Upsides: since your keeping your carbs to one meal, you only spike your glucose once per day, this is a from of intermittent fasting/time restricted eating. You will actually see improvements in your insulin sensitivity over time.

    Note: after the fat and protein meals you will feel full and Happy, after the carb meal you will feel quickly hungry. Carbs are not great for your health, and you can live very healthily without any carbs whatsoever.
