Of 3115 people screened by telephone, 244 adults with overweight met participation criteria and were randomly assigned to the vegan (n = 122) or control (n = 122) groups. The analysis included 223 (91.0%) completers. Total food weight did not change significantly in either group (Table). Energy intake decreased in both groups, more in the vegan group (effect size, −357.1 kcal/d; 95% CI, −521.9 to −192.3 kcal/d; P < .001) (Table). Energy density did not change in the control group but decreased by 30% in the vegan group (effect size, −0.28 kcal/g/d; 95% CI, −0.38 to −0.19 kcal/g/d; P < .001; Table and Figure).

Reductions in dietary energy density were associated with greater weight loss (r = 0.28; 95% CI, 0.15 to 0.39; P < .001), remaining significant after adjustment for energy intake (r = 0.21; 95% CI, 0.08 to 0.34; P = .002). A 1-kg weight loss corresponded to a 0.29-unit decrease in energy density (P < .001), or 0.36 units after adjustment (P = .002).

...is when you point out the people in low-fat diet era were way thinner than the current high-fat diet era

Coming from OpenCode so I'm looking for some simple examples to demonstrate most clearly the utility value of Hermes. To give me a immediate easy to setup Heureka moment to understand what OpenCode can't do but Hermes can. Thanks!

I did some deep diving into our The Usual Suspects wikipage to fill out what exactly the people in the academic front section have specialized in and which university they are tenured at.

Oh boy, I was not expecting what I found out! I had to move half of them from academics to marketers once I looked closer at what they are really doing. As I laid out in the new section of private clinic havers:

>Noteworthy of some in this bunch is their tendency to borderline fake their position on social media with phrases such as "board-certified" or slapping their alma mater after their credentials to imply they are practicing or tenured. 

Had me fooled! And what did I find out? 3x online telehealth clinic, 1x mobile app clinic, 3x private clinic! I actually thought they had research positions. Look at this practical example and try to guess which of the three is an actual academic:

>MD PhD, Harvard Medical School · University of Oxford

>!You'd think he is at Harvard or Oxford, but he isn't! He's running a mobile app!!<

>Professor, Author, Researcher & Metabolic Scientist

>!Tada! This one works in academia! !<

>Board-Certified Neurologist

>!Works at a supplement company! !<

Get it?! This is fucking sick. How did I miss this bullshit! Amazing!

Beyond impressed. Flash 4 Default. Technically non-thinking bottom drawer cheapest you can get. Look. It recognizes when XML formatting is wrong, expected:

>The </p> after "unquestionably" closes the paragraph, and then "it was perturbed" with a trailing </p> which is orphaned. I need to fix this.

It catches common pitfalls, expected:

>OCR "be"/"he" confusion (~40 fixes): Corrected instances where OCR misread "be" as "he" — e.g., to be free, would be a trick, cannot be optimistic, Don't be irascible, will be it, would be stopped, to be honest, to be human, etc. — spread across files 000, 004–008, 011–018, 020–024.

But but but, BUT! Check this! It spotted technically correctly formatted sections where context is wrong:

>Split paragraphs repaired: Merged broken <p> elements in files 001, 006, 012, 019 where OCR split paragraphs mid-sentence.

Has it been tested? ODF is XML inside so I doubt the format itself has any hard limit to file size.

Look at this listing of "10 most noteworthy low-fat diet books of the 80s and 90s" meaning the low-fat heyday, look how fucking boring these are, they're mostly just recipes. Take a look:

1. The T-Factor Diet (1989) by Martin Katahn — A major bestseller that popularized the idea that not all calories are equal; it focused on the thermogenic effect of carbs vs. fats, encouraging low-fat eating without strict calorie counting. It included recipes and fat-gram guidance and sold over a million copies.
2. The McDougall Program: 12 Days to Dynamic Health (1990) by John A. McDougall — Advocated a very low-fat, starch-based vegan diet (grains, vegetables, fruits) for reversing chronic diseases. It was highly influential in plant-based, oil-free low-fat circles.
3. Eat More, Weigh Less (1993) by Dean Ornish — From the cardiologist known for reversing heart disease with lifestyle changes. Promoted a very low-fat (<10% calories from fat), plant-based approach with gourmet recipes, emphasizing abundance over deprivation.
4. The New American Diet (1986) by Sonja and William Connor — Focused on very low-fat, heart-healthy eating with recipes; tied to research on cholesterol and cardiovascular risk.
5. American Heart Association Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook (editions in the 1990s) — Authoritative guide with practical, tested recipes for heart health, widely recommended and revised for broad appeal.

8. Great Good Food: Luscious Lower-Fat Cooking (1993) by Julee Rosso — From a Silver Palate author; focused on flavorful, lower-fat recipes for the 1990s palate, with nutritional info and tips.
9. The Wellness Lowfat Cookbook (1994) by University of California at Berkeley Wellness — Practical, recipe-heavy book with a "Healthy Heart Solution" plan, clear nutrition info, and everyday low-fat meals.
10. So Fat, Low Fat, No Fat (and sequels, 1990s) by Betty Rohde — Popular Southern-style low-fat/no-fat cookbooks with everyday recipes; the "Super" compilation combined hundreds of accessible dishes.

Compare that to the absolute insanity going on in ketosphere where they feverishly innovate new stories and secrets and narratives and talking points and methods and conspiracy theories all the time trying to flip reality on its head. You feel like a heckin genius rebel who did his own research being, you think you learned so much secret the authorities didn't want you to know.

All that is so much more interesting and engaging than a boring ahh recipes all telling people how to not add butter into food, which isn't exactly stimulating unless you genuinely didn't know what is fat and how to not put it in your food. Doesn't make you feel like a champ at all because it's all so painfully obvious.

Not many exciting ways to package and sell the message of "you dilute your average caloric intake by not splurging fat on everything and therefore likely lose weight over time". Too obviously true for its own good.

I'm so tired of their bullshit marketing! Literally since the inception of OpenAI their main marketing trick has been the claim that their AI is too advanced and dangerous, all the while they run around begging for VC money to build more compute for it. It doesn't add up!

This latest stunt is in the same continuity of their many marketing stunts, suspiciously dropped on regular intervals, instead of being a real out of hand cascading superintelligence moment. Ten years of same hype engine feeding. Remember when they said the very first ChatGPT was too advanced and dangerous to be allowed to use the internet? I remember. It's so tiresome.

Albeit with Chrome enabling it is still behind chrome://flags/ so it doesn't work out-of-box, but it is there. If you were about to convert a bunch of jpg and png to avif, you might want to hold that off.

Selecting EUR from currency format it apparently shows every country using € separately. Is there some reason behind this inconvinience? Euro has the same value everywhere in Eurozone, its value doesn't change depending on country. I'm confused.
