  • I don’t see a thread when I click on that link. It directs me to this thread. Can you repost
  • After re-reading I don’t believe that post addresses Specifically DKA. So I am not sure or that is the case. But anyway. Thanks for addressing
  • Oh, lol.. I have read thanks for noticing
  • Wow have not seen or read that post. Thanks
  • That’s my point, (my last attempt). I don’t know you but I myself have not performed or studied in the practice research to share, compare, or advice with other researchers regarding any topic which includes Ketogenic diet. As I am not their peer. You on the other hand (unless you have experience in research of this topic)…
  • Midwestern, just to be clear, I did not read such a comparison on this post. If you are referring to the comment on why type 1 diabetics cannot gain weight without adaquite therapy of exogenous insulin it was not a comparison of diagnosis just the state of being in a Ketoic state (production of low or no insulin) and…
  • I am sorry Tavistock, I guess I should have not expected most to read between the lines so please forgive me! Let me clarify my point just for you. Let’s take it from the top, I mentioned 95% of most information found on free web regarding research and keto are in relations to its benefits to health conditions such as…
  • Anvilhead, Thanks for the post. I guess you are correct about changing thread topics. I just don't want to scare those who want to better themselves and at least give Keto a try. As, information needs to be as accurate as possible and not hear say or mostly opinion. Let the potential practitioner make their own decision on…
  • LOL, ok Maureen... with all due respect, can you tell me how being in ketosis is dangerous outside for those who are type 1 diabetic? I am open for debate. I will tell you what the medical books say and not what the free world internet say. But, please be a little specific regarding your argument. Meaning give an…
  • Mid, I agree. I have read that book as well. It has good value in it.. Good call...
  • Charlie, you said enough when you stated you just knew you were in ketosis due to your breath and sweat. Just a tid bit those are not the primary ketones as they are by products of the primary ketone Beta-hydroxbutyrate. If you assume your breath is fruity and your sweat smells the same this does have "indication" of the…
  • Also, regarding the storage of fat not used, please just go and read medical information on how the hormone insulin works. This is readally available on line as this is decade old indisputable data.
  • Ok, Let me clarify what you are asking. Peer review research? Peers who have done studies themselves? By definition peers are people of our common interest of comparable study and knowledge. I know more than the average Keto practitioner but this does not mean I can perform a research study to give concrete non-disputable…
  • Ok again sorry but you make no sense to me! Have you dived into any research studies or current endocrinology books on the medical shelfs at the top universities in the country and read anything on how the cells of the body use and metabolize nutrients? Plus how the hormones function within the body? Let me take a step…
  • There are some good post here and thank you for them. Keto is a life style for great health and weight loss benefits. But I will have to just say that one package does not fit all. Meaning the comments on max net carbs at 20g that I have seen here several times. This is a correct statement if you are consuming 1600…
  • No not at all. What I am saying is she most likely is not fat adapted (burning ketones for fuel efficiently) meaning she does not keep a consistent state of ketosis. One can not bounce in and out of ketosis and expect to have results. Unless you monitor your daily intake and blood ketones (not urine sticks or respiratory…
  • Not sure if I am getting your point, so please forgive me... but if you are taking excess carbs you are not in ketosis and yes you will gain weight by why of water retention that part I agree. With the major focus point being “not in Ketosis”. Secondly, if you maintain a 75F/20P/5C macros which is a true ketogenic macro…
  • Maybe I can help Johna, Odds are you are not fat adapted. Especially if you are uncertain about your macros and ketone readings to be sure. I will explain why I feel this way. For starters, gaining 5 pounds when in ketosis is extremely rare. The hormone insulin is a regulatory hormone for many events in the body, primarily…
  • Day one of the challenge is complete and here I am on day two. A little tender from the run yesterday and the late evening gym session. Unfortunately, this morning I weighed in at 181. Nice to lose the recent weight I have gained but I feel this is not a safe weight drop. There are a lot of factors for the 5 pound weight…
  • Listen, Just want to say this.... Keto is a tool. It is a fantastic diet not just for weight loss but for health benefits as well. I have been on Keto for 13+ months and made a crazy transformation in the first 12 months. Outside of a few moments of weakness (like the past month due to international trips) I find it easy…
  • Big results!
  • Let’s go!!!! Mind over matter
