I wouldn't read to much into fiber and correlation to disease states or cancer prevention since it's nearly impossible to separate fiber from carbohydrate. Large epidemiological studies aren't going to adequately represent the benefits of the few who eat low carbohydrate with high fiber content (high fiber : carbohydrate…

There would have to be some catch to do meatless/animal free keto...usually liberally relying on eggs, high fat dairy, considering fish as meatless, gelatin, or some nasty supplement (like pea protein) not obtainable naturally. Anyone do nuts, seeds, &/or legumes as a protein on vegetarian keto? Seems like the only way to…

Nice chart wabmester, I like the compensation aspect of the dramatic increase proportion in ammonium loss; water soluble form of ammonia...too much and you've got some hepatic encephalopathy.

Just out of curiosity, anyone have lab values done say fasted 16+ hours? In particular, Serum Creatinine, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, Urinalysis (proteinuria, presence of casts, sp. gravity). Short term markers tend to show myself being in a catabolic state/amino acid breakdown, whereas…

Excellent exercise used by the old school bodybuilders (the ones that were actually aesthetic/greek statue like as opposed to modern day bodybuilders). I do this exercise daily as a routine usually before showering

Savoy cabbage...because it's cheap as green cabbage but has superior texture/crunch. 2$ a day to cover my entire vegetable budget...this + eggs + tuna + EVOO (bulk from Asian supermarket) where the foundation of my broke college student diet. Kale is also ridiculously inexpensive when bought unpacked

Got to try this sometime...plus it's textbook keto When eating an Avocado like an apple (no I pealed the skin off though...rather like a banana), I get this bizarre look from 1 of my co-workers like I am from another planet or something..."normal".

Protein can also influence hormone balance as well...say increasing protein uptake, increasing Sex Hormone Binding Globulin...binds to serum or "free"/active testosterone/estrogen. Implications in PCOS come to mind

Not quite bread, but a bread substitute...gelatin cut into "bread" slices...it works as long as it's not hot enough to melt said gelatin. The whole "faux" bread made from flaxseed, eggs, & EVOO works well too. I use to make Olive oil cakes out of...great as a laxative too LOL

Gelatin or coconut pulp/paste + fish (counters the dryness) Weird 1s from past diets: Peanut or Almond butter + cottage cheese (a bodybuilder staple of "nastiness" that tastes good...looks like *kitten*), "sludge" combo of blueberries/whey protein/peanut or almond butter (another bodybuilder staple; works good for…

Fell backwards when stretching a bit too much...just laughed it off

Let's all play nice ladies & gentlemen. No, I am not calling out anyone specifically; many on this forum do participate in all-animal lifestyle choices. Again, solely out of interest & the mention of low-carbohydrate diets from the article...no need to divide into keto/low carb-sects, we're all on the same side

Yeah, she regularly visits the vet, no diabetes despite being cat obese BMI wise (people always say WTF?)...she exercises (hunts) plenty to compensate. However, her age is starting to show in the form of cat arthritis

20+ lb fat cat on a treadmill...not moving of course:

Have tried the stevia ones as well...better than the original but still ridiculously sweet. The coffee flavor 1s are sooo disappointing...I wish they could just make them black coffee concentrate without sweeter & without carbs (yes, these new ones have 4g carbohydrate/serving <<< Black bitter coffee)

Sorry, I would have posted the link but the website requires 1 to create a username & login...I used quotation marks too; I am in no way plagiarizing (I just wanted to share an article with content many on this forum find interesting). The science of feces is just so mysterious & full of potential for treating/prophylaxis…

I just find it fascinating that agrarian diets produce a GI microbiome with greater diversity & less susceptibility to bacteria that cause food borne illnesses...even if these diets are more common in "disease" prone 3rd world countries, yet those Europeans have poorer GI microbiome but compensate with a higher standard of…

Bulk laxatives take an onset of up to 7 days to work consistently. Mg-Citrate 200mg per oral @ bedtime is a good starting dose; lots of people on LCHF supplement with Mg2+ ideally in the more highly bioavailable forms Mg-citrate, Mg-Glycinate, Mg-Threonate, etc. For more acute relief, dose 1/2-1 bottle of Liquid Mg-Citrate…

Contrabiotic plantain (banana) NSP blocks translocation of Crohn's disease mucosa-associated Escherichia coli across the human intestinal epithelium. Histology of (a) human villus epithelium (VE) and of (b) an ileal lymphoid follicle (LF) and overlying follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) following Ussing chamber…

Figure 3. Prebiotic intervention with arabinoxylans and inulin differentially modulate the mucosal and luminal gut microbiome and metabolome of humanised rats. (a) The intestinal microbiota at the site of fermentation (caecum) in humanised rats fed a diet supplemented with long-chain arabinoxylan (LC-AX) or inulin (IN) is…

Figure 2. Short-term dietary intervention alters the human gut microbiota and microbial activity. Ten subjects were tracked across each diet arm. (a) Fibre intake on the plant-based diet (rich in grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables) increased (P = 0.007; two-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank test) but was negligible on the…

Cool, I might have to try someday...the old fashion method is much slower: throw unripened avocados in a brown paper bag with any kind of damaged/broken fruit or vegetable & let the ethylene gas build up by closing the bag to chemically ripen the avocados.

Time (on the plus side, I only cook/eat once daily): mostly just ingredient gathering since 1 single store doesn't carry everything in my diet Smell: cooking in a small apartment even with fans on still makes my place smell when guests enter The benefits of cooking far outweigh what little inconveniences there are…

Seems like a fad created by Aspey to sell high grade coffee & "brain octane"...financial incentive of course. The black & bitter xanthine taste of coffee is just too good to adulterate in my opinion. But again, like others have mentioned, some need to get fat requirements & some need kcals without releasing insulin for…

Looking at the title solely, I'm Just glad it's not some bull raw food diet nonsense trying to convince people that humans are vegetarians and that eating cooked food causes.....cancer....death...whatever they want you to believe. Polycyclic amines anyone? They taste awfully good

Why don't you ask them what guidelines they follow (I.e. ASPEN, ADA, JNCVIII/dash, etc.)? There is TONS of conflicting data when multiple disease states are involved; it's not an easy job nor should they be following a 1 model fits all approach. Ask insight on their rationale for their best decision...likely they may not…

gravity filtration is a fun way to add "ethnicity" to regular yogurt, but the unknown nutrition content of what you lose from the filtration can be bothersome if precision nutrient tracking is needed. Cabbage = cheapest go to fresh vegetable, with kale coming in second; all others have to be in season or frozen to be…

Same problem, at some point you just need more volume on keto. A good food for increasing volume protein wise is gelatin (extremely low density kcal wise, mostly water and amino acids). Other high volume foods include cabbage, broccoli, kale, lettuce, etc.; dressed or emulsified with plenty of fat of course. You might need…

Mg2+ Salts with good oral bioavailability = Mg-Citrate, Mg-OH_2, Mg-glycinate starting off in low doses (laxative effect, some are mildly sedating but in really high doses...say colon prep wise or constipation treatment wise downing 1/2-1 bottle of Mg-Citrate liquid). Mg-Carbonate & Mg-OH_2 are going to have antacid…

Ask your physician first, review your labs (electrolytes mostly). HCTZ dose matters as well, 25mg/day being the max effective; an alternative dosing strategy mainly used with loop diuretics is dosing 4 days on, 3 days off to prevent breaking tolerance (works better long term due to lack of decompensation…
