While it might seem otherwise, my purpose here is not to start a discussion on the merits of those statements or other theories regarding weight loss and obesity. I merely wanted to find out what is his most recent stance.
I have not received an answer but the comments from three different people suggest that there have been no significant changes. Thank you. That’s all I wanted to know.
He recently did lose a lot of weight using some form of keto diet, although I think he still maintains it was much harder for him than others. Check his twitter account.
I try and post something starting with a copypasted quote. How do I get out of quote mode? I try one thing after another and invariably end up somehow accidentally submitting the incomplete post. Also this keeps changing—previously I could hit control-enter a few times but this no longer reliably works.
I want to split a paragraph. How? No idea. Nothing seems to work.
The main problem seems to be that the thing is totally trigger happy about deciding that you submitted the post.
There does not seem to be any help on the editor. You have to experiment and fail to find out, laboriously. Some people enjoy this. I find it infuriating.
Huh, never experienced anything like this. CMD+Enter (on Mac) or CTRL+Enter (on Windows) has always submitted a comment (and does so on basically any web-platform that I know of)

You get out of quote mode by pressing enter twice. Which I think is standard in most text-editors. Alternatively you can also select any paragraph in the blockquote and press the blockquote button.

You can split a paragraph by pressing enter with your cursor at the place you want to split it, which really seems like the obvious thing. What happens when you press enter?
Is there any chance your CMD/CTRL key is broken? The only way I can think of to explain what’s happening here is to hypothesize that you must be pressing CMD+Enter or CTRL+Enter a lot, even though there should basically never be a reason to use those combinations (Shift+Enter allows you to insert a manual line-break without a paragraph break, which is something that some other platforms do with CTRL+Enter, at least on Mac, so maybe that’s what’s confusing you?)
If you’re in quote text, hit enter twice to leave quote text.
If you highlight text, you’ll see the menu with all the options, including the option to toggle whether the highlighted text is in quotes.
The only way the editor submits a comment is if you hit cmd-enter or ctrl-enter, for which the sole function is to submit a comment (don’t try pressing it for anything else).

(damn the built-in editor on lesswrong to hell by the way)
He described it as a protein sparing modified fast.
(Unrelated, and don’t want to derail the discussion, but what problem did you run into with the editor?)

Thanks, you are right. I have posted an answer with direct quote
