Evaluation of a ketogenic diet for improvement of neurological recovery in individuals with acute spinal cord injury: a pilot, randomized safety and feasibility trial
Our pilot findings primarily demonstrated that KD is safe and feasible to be administered in acute SCI. Furthermore, upper extremity motor scores were higher (p < 0.05) in the KD vs. SD group and an anti-inflammatory lysophospholipid, lysoPC 16:0, was present at higher levels, and an inflammatory blood protein, fibrinogen, was present at lower levels in the KD serum samples vs. SD serum samples.
Conclusion
Taken together, these preliminary results suggest that a KD may have anti-inflammatory effects that may promote neuroprotection, resulting in improved neurological recovery in SCI. Future studies with larger sample size are warranted for demonstrating efficacy of KD for improving neurological recovery.

Effect of A Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet on Food and Alcohol Cravings, Physical and Sexual Activity, Sleep Disturbances, and Quality of Life in Obese Patients
The results of this study evidenced that the rapid and sustained weight and FM loss induced by VLCK-diet are associated with good food control and improvements in the psychological well-being parameters in obese subjects that could be reinforced by the effect of ketosis. This effect could contribute to long-term success of this therapy and further reinforce the suitability of a VLCK-diet as a viable and valuable treatment option for obesity.

Development of the Highly Processed Food Withdrawal Scale
Food addiction posits that highly processed foods may be capable of triggering addictive-like symptoms in some individuals, including withdrawal.
Paralleling the course of drug withdrawal, symptoms assessed by the ProWS were reported as most intense between days 2–5 during an attempt to cut down.

I just listened to #176 with Norton and D'Agostino. Really good! I wish they could have gone on longer, and it was three hours as it was!

No kidding. It was my background noise for a couple of days. Lol0 -
I've been meaning to listen to them all but I haven't got around to it yet. I'll be sure to check out Norton & D'Agostino's now at least since you liked that one!0

I started on the other one but did not get far. Being close to the opposite of a vegetarian, it held my interest less.
I'll try again another day. 0 -

This is a break down of the debate by Masterjohn, whose work was briefly discussed in the debate (shared in the LowCarberDaily by a science minded member.) I found it interesting, although I am biased in that I feel that including animal products are superior in achieving better health through diet than a vegan or vegetarian diet is, so others might not agree with him.
I may try listening to Rogan's show again. I tried before but Kahn's prattling and Kessler's lack of emotion was hard to listen too. YMMV

Thanks for that @nvmomketo I couldn't listen to the vegan one either - nothing of interest there for me.
Effect of low carbohydrate high fat diet on ldl cholesterol and gene expression in normal-weight, young adults: A randomized controlled study
There was a significant increase in apolipoprotein B, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, free fatty acids, uric acid and urea in the LCHF group versus controls. Plasma levels of triglycerides, lipoprotein (a), glucose, C-peptide or C-reactive protein (CRP), blood pressure, body weight or body composition did not differ between the groups. PBMC gene expression of sterol regulator element binding protein 1 (SREBP-1) was increased in the LCHF group versus controls (p ≤ 0.01). The individual increase in LDL-C from baseline varied between 5 and 107% in the LCHF group.

I just watched #1176 for the FULL 3 hours. Joe Rogan is awesome. The brain of Dom D'Agostino came quietly shining through when given mike time. I was impressed by Layne Norton's ability to explain how and why the Leaky Gut Syndrome can be a health concern. It seems like Joe and Dom made headway towards getting Layne to try Keto of several months at some point in time. Layne is going to have a chapter on the Keto WOE in his new book he said. While currently he is not pro keto neither is he opposed to if it it works for others. It is amazing how many big names are doing Keto or at least speaking about the pros of keto. Dom talked about the keto cookies, breads, etc coming to the marketplace. Most everyone wants to get on the Keto bandwagon it seems because of the money there even if not fully sold like Dom.
It was worth the 3 hours and very helpful in better understanding Layne's influence on his followers.2 -

So i finally had time to listen to Layne and Dom. It was really good. Found some of the stuff about set point (and adaptive thermogenesis) pretty interesting.
Also, i thought the discussion around thr carnivore diet a little interesting, especially since both of agree on the importance of veggies.1 -
Seems timely.

Nice. Hopefully future researchers will apply that when designing studies to test low carb or Keto on health.1
