I monitored carbs in general. Sugars are usually in high carb foods do I limit those. Carbs with fibre tend to be easier to handle but they should be watched with a blood glucose monitor. Testing yourself around meals us the best way to know how foods affect you.

As a very general rule, a diet high in fat improves hdl and triglycerides, as well as crp and cac scores. LDL is not much affected although it changes to a larger and less frbse variety. Also, insulin and BG drops which really improves cvd risk. Keto us usually good for cardiovascular health. If you gave heaviness in your…

Some like it due to the appetite and craving reduction that most people experience. I've done it for years due to the health benefits that I experienced. There are very few negative physical side effects. Keto flu is a preventable loss of electrolytes that more salt would solve. A small.kinority get strong smelling breath,…

There are some errors in this. Is is sustainable to restrict carbs - a non essential macronutrient. Some prefer not to, and few seem to have problems using fat for fuel for some reason. There is no evidence that humans are meant to eat grains and veggies. Fruit is meant to be eaten but perhaps not by people in their…

That is keto in a nut shell: fewer than 20-50g of carbs a day. Some do low protein(15%) and some go high (35+%). Fat is usually moderate to high. Some eat meat based whole others manage to fo it vegan or vegetarian. Some eat whole foods and yet others eat lots of processed foods.

I've been keto for a few years. I lost and have maintained on it. It works really well for me - it helped my health issues, made weight management fairly easy, and I've grown to enjoy the food. I'll probably stick with it. Good luck.

A ketogenic diet is just a diet where you are in ketosis the vast majority of the time - carbs are usually under 20-50g. Many who eat keto for health reasons will avoid vegetable seed oils for the reasons you mentioned, I do too, but it is not required for a ketogenic diet.

Most keto'ers keep carbs below 20-50g, often 5-10%. Protein is usually kept moderate at 20-30%, often 0.8 to 1g per pound lean body weight; near 100g is not unusual. A keto diet often looks pretty simple. Breakfast may be bacon and eggs, just coffee with cream, or left overs. Lunch may be a salad with chicken or beef, can…

It looks as though the neanderthals ate mostly meat. Neanderthals may not be ancestors of all, but as someone of northern European heritage, it is possible. It's also likely that my ancestors only ate plants seasonally since there is not a large amount of fresh fruit and vegetables available year round in the north. The…

Straight to the brain? Lol Well I do get headaches and hypotension when salt is too low... ;)

Mikhalia Peterson - Don't Eat That https://youtu.be/N39o_DI5laI

This one? https://www.diabetes.co.uk/in-depth/salt-physiology-and-low-salt-guidelines/ It gets discussed in the PURE study too.

Keto is fine for a long term diet plan if you choose to do it. There is zero evidence that keto is unhealthy long term, and in trials over a couple of years (Virta) with T2D's doing keto, compliance rate was around 74% (I believe). I've been keto about 4 years. I started out around 20g of carbs, then after a couple fo…

Diet allegiance was not called into question. I generally dont post in threads that are not about woes that I am not using or dislike. I feel I would not have much to offer that could help people. My areas of success are health improvements and easy weight loss with keto. I tried WW and failed. I tried moderation,…

I just use some cream. ... or butter, which gas the same flavor to me. You will need to whisk it or blend it though. I use a sealed travel mug and really shake it up.

I didnt see it, but did you say how much protein you are getting? Ideally, most women while losing fat or gaining muscle should aim for about 100 g of protein. That's about 400 calories, and should be about 33% of your total calories if only eating 1200 calories. If you are not getting that, I would aim for more protein…

If I have eaten keto for a few years, then I can call myself a ketoer? It's a lot faster to type than "someone who follows a ketogenic diet ". ;)

While I agree that some agricultural practices for raising beef are less than ideal, agricultural practices for raising plants are also not ideal. Both need to be severely revamped, imo. I feel that arguing for veggie burgers based on an environmental argument is misguided. Plowing and turning over the soil causes soil…

I've been listening to this. Really good. Thanks!

You can also get woo'ed for mentioning that if you say keto you get woo'ed. Let's see how far this goes. Lol ;)

It appears it may increase cardiac output. Link is in the tweet. https://twitter.com/ellis_muggleton/status/1114080861614428160?s=09

A non vegan viewpoint that I found on Twitter today, posted by a vegetarian https://twitter.com/DefendingBeef/status/1114418602780676096?s=09 https://lachefnet.wordpress.com/2018/03/31/a-tale-of-two-expos/amp/?DfUda=&__twitter_impression=true

That is good. Your HDL is great and your LDL is fine. I'm guessing your triglycerides are fine too. :)

Average life expectancy was lower due to a high childhood death rate - chances of dying before 6 was 20%. Once you got past that, 60-80's was pretty typical beyond times of plagues and wars.

This is the keto group. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1143-keto It's a good group to join. Not many on the main boards are doing keto and there is even a minority that are anti keto for some reason, as you can see by the woo's you got from just mentioning it. ;) The Low Carber Daily is another good spot to…

Less fructose?

It isn't uncommon in the Low Carber Daily or Keto mfp groups. Many still count calories but there are quote a few, like me, who found that if they lower carbs to a certain point, appetite goes to a normal level and cravings go away. As long as I keep carbs very low, I can eat according to my hunger cues and still lose…

I agree. There is a movement towards plant based foods right now that they are tapping into. It's a smart move.
