    It is not.

    This is such an obnoxious form of pedantry. Yes you absorb less calories from the food you digest and yes you poop out more unused calories and yes the way your body uses fat is less chemically efficient than carbs.

    That’s just not what anyone means when they say CO. Technically true in such an “ummm aktshully I’m a teenager that just learned thermo 101 and have to be right about everything” kind of way that’s just not relevant to the discussion being had. Yes, of course if you put everyone doing keto in a chamber where you measured emitted heat and put all their poop through a calorimeter thermodynamics applies.

    The point is none of that matters in the context of discussing diets because you can very successfully lose weight on keto while eating more calories than you did before and not changing lifestyle.

    This is such a fucking stupid infographic, it’s just straight up misinformation.

    I have done keto, my partner was doing Calorie counting at the time and was curious and did the math for me. I was consuming about 150% of my normal pre-diet Calorie intake and losing 500g per day for a month. CICO is flatout not the mechanic used.







  • “Physical access to the hard disk at a later date” sounds like the threat model they have in mind is someone forgetting to drill a hole through the drives after decom, in which case I’d guess they’re asking for fde that gets unlocked at spin up/keys stored in ram?

    If I were you I’d go back to the stakeholder and make them clarify that part of the requirement/what they expect it to accomplish with it and what level of inconvenience they’re willing to accept.
