    Recently, I donated blood. My donation was in two separate bags. One bag held my donated plasma. The other bag held my donated red cells.
    On that day, I had been at or below 5% carbs for 8 consecutive days. My plasma was a bright yellow color. The workers at the donation center remarked that most people's plasma is cloudy.

    Most keto people cannot directly detect the cleanliness of their blood, but it is real.

    This information suggests a profound misunderstanding of blood chemistry.


    OP, if you find higher fat foods more filling or satisfying, and high carb foods to be less filling or easy to overeat, keto or low carb can be a great strategy. But 2 weeks is not long enough to judge success or failure! You need to think long range and be patient :smile:

    No one is questioning that it happened. Just that it didn't happen for the reason you ascribe it to. :)

    So someone claims that keto blood is cleaner than other blood and those questioning that get called trolls.

    Hmm.
