Yeah, mostly agree with that but the metabolic effects of some specific IF do have powerful enough affects that weight loss is a direct result of that fasting. The problem and where the conflict lie's is in the proper application, consistent time line and adherence and because of IF's vague interpretation most don't adhere…

Yeah, it's one of the best overall sources.

Too many moving parts, be more specific.

Yeah, I read everyday how messed up advice from dietitians can get and another good reason to be your own investigative health care person for yourself.

I don't have a problem with histamines but I've researched it quite a bit for 2 friends and they did get relief but it's a subject that covers a lot of ground and some of it makes no sense, so it's difficult to assess what might work or not, just putting that out there. A big problem is it's different for everyone because…

Well, your choices were limited on a vegetarian keto diet. Personally I'm not a supporter of either a vegetarian or vegan diet, mostly for health reasons but accept that people have choices to make and we all have full control in what we do for reasons that are important to us as individuals. I'll only say go in eyes open,…

Ok, thanks. Do you eat eggs and dairy products, just curious?

Yes 90 is better. Let me ask, has some of your success on the keto diet stem from you feeling satiated, in other words your hunger was less or more manageable?

The original data for the RDA was based on young males, about 25 years old consuming protein from a meat based diet and fairly athletic in other words they were not sedentary, basically what I'm alluding to is it was based on mostly lean mass. Young healthy people's requirements for protein are not as crucial, it's part of…

Putting the calorie and protein conversations aside for a moment, what other impactful results have you had?

You could before you attempt the FODMAP diet just eliminate onions and garlic totally for 2 to 4 weeks then reintroduce them individually. This will require all foods to be processed by you with eliminating all processed and ultra processed foods as well as being the standard control. This was one of the eventual paths I…

Yeah, that's not how it works. Regardless of the diet or the substrate fueling your body it's the caloric deficit that will use your own body fat for fuel that then leads to weight loss. Yes ketones are fuel in the absence of carbohydrates but anyone engaged in a ketogenic diet is not going to lose any body fat unless…

So your doctor put you on an 800-1000 calories "vegetarian ketogenic diet" consuming 60g's of protein for 2 months then wants you to transition off the ketogenic diet. That makes absolutely no sense. What additional mitigation was your doctor expecting while consuming so few calories that would not be addressed when…

Dinner is a 16 ounce striploin and lunch is an 8 ounce. 😃

Nuts and seeds generally speaking have natural defenses against being eaten which consequently reduce their absorption and some by half if they're not chewed enough and some seeds like flax pretty much travel unmolested, lol. They're also chalk full of anti nutrients like oxalates, phytates, lectins, tannins and enzyme…

It would be interesting to know why you've "accidentally slipped into keto" considering it's a very formulated way of eating that is in direct contrast of how we've been instructed to eat. I've been on a ketogenic diet for over a dozen years and would be interested to know, it just a way of adding data. Anyway, describing…

Your dietitian sounds like they're right out of school and has given you the representative accepted narrative when it comes to macro's. I would ask the purpose of increasing carbs by 10% and reducing fat by 10% as it relates to your personal metabolism and what you should expect from that change, in detail, written down,…

Distribution is very nuanced and is more dependent on an individual basis from my research on protein. Personally my total consumption of daily food, the need to distribute my protein intake is required and personally getting some protein in the first meal of the day is also advised based on my research and it also works…

Make a home made ranch, it's easy, just mix the ingredients or shake the jar and a no brainer really. You get to adjust it to your tastes, a winner winner. It might even inspire you to try other dressings.

Vegetable frittata with left over chicken thigh added and arugula salad with campari tomato, red onion and goat feta with evoo and a double espresso.

Your not going to build muscle with what you refer to as intense cardio while being in a deficit and it sounds like a fairly aggressive one at that. More than likely you'll lose muscle mass and some body fat which will result in just a smaller skinny fat person. You'll hear we can build muscle while in a deficit, while…

Yeah, I'm a coffeeholic, no doubt about that, I have a few grinders. I have a 1zpresso ultra for traveling and an opus. I like Ethiopian, Brazilian and Columbian coffee's with many great estates and many reasonably priced. Personally I would recommend espresso for someone trying to wean off milk and sugar, the creamy…

It's frustrating for some people when nuance gets in the way of being right. Nuance is so complicated and bewildering. LOL. I love this place. 😁

Why do you want a cheat meal, is my question. You've said you lost a lot of weight and suspect it's from counting calories and now you want to treat yourself with a reward, is that it, or are you just hungry, which has more to do with your food priorities and those pesky hormones that control those hunger signaling by…

Well, when blood glucose is elevated for the length of time it takes to go through the stages of Insulin resistance then prediabetes and then develop into diabetes as in type 2 usually takes years to develop and it's about the amount and type of carbohydrates are being consumed. Reducing carbs that meet your requirements…

Those oils do have health implications but it's not responsible for preserving food. They basically coat their fries in preservatives, flavorings and additives for mostly shelf life, minimal decision making and handling by employee's and of course that represents more profit, can't blame them really, without shareholder…

The potatoes we serve are from mostly local growers and usually burbanks which is a russet and use only beef tallow for frying. 😊

The poor body building community with all the gout and kidney stones that must be reeking havoc. ☺️

Burrata, red onion, campari tomatoes, yellow pepper, nicoise olives and arugula salad. double espresso and some sparling water from a spring from some mountain in another country. 😊

@MmeZeeZee [quote]Other than looking at labels or in MFP regarding saturated fat, any tips on more specific guidance?[quote/] Unfortunately I have a different take on cholesterol and saturated fat that is not widely understood, so unless you want me to get into the science and details I'll just say I've used a ketogenic…
