springlering62 I've used honey during periods where I'll add some carbs pre workout which is called a "targeted ketogenic diet" it's also when I like to add pasta, potatoes or bread because these are mostly starch and act differently in the body that a sugar does, but I have added honey, local and it is tasty. Pizza is…

If eating less was a solution then diets wouldn't fail and wouldn't need to count calories to help keep from eating too much and gaining weight. My perspective of course.

Maybe this will work for you.

Yep, that's why I agreed with you. 😊

True but people were stating volume and there is difference, muscle is about 15% more dense and takes up less space. Translating the obvious, which means that if muscle and fat were the same volume muscle would weight about 15% more.

Well sure of course it would work in the context of calories, most sugar replacements have pretty much 0 calories. Neither honey or sweeteners are optimal for our biome but if I was to choose it would be honey, and local honey would be more ideal, food from our postal code generally translates into better conformity for…

Healthy means different things to different people. Snacking all day is not conducive for proper metabolic health, so stop snacking exclusively would be my advice. Too much constant fluctuation in blood sugar ups and downs effecting energy and insulin sensitivity as well as dysregulated signaling for satiety hormones, the…

No, I don't count calories, I have in the past though. No wild animals are obese by nature and exploring that might lead to alternative interventions for weight loss, which was a part of my research. 😊

Wondering about Vitamin A at 10 pm is probably the better question to ask. 🤔

Sauteed trout fillet with fried onions, baby bell peppers, steamed broccoli, garlic and lemon. Double espresso and sparkling.

Yeah, that's a decent analogy. Fiber on the hierarchy of importance when it comes to the microbiome is no where near the top, but it's something that's easy to communicate and because it's said so often without any other context it becomes a truth and to a fault where people start using fiber supplements which is no where…

Yeah hydration is very important along with proper sunlight with both having a substantial synergistic effect on our energy levels known as electrical and metabolic energy while food provides us with chemical energy so for optimal hydrational effects try not to limit your exposure to sunlight as well. 😊

I'm also low carb and have been for years and just want to say good luck this time. 😊

The more fat that represents a persons diet the less inflammation is accumulated, which is the major cause of almost all heart related events sans genetics which translates into less chance of any atherogenic event. Basically don't focus on cholesterol, it's actually not the cause of heart disease and more on a whole food…

Another egg and bacon breakfast and I switched out the avocado with a caprese salad with buffalo mozzarella and of course my double espresso and mountain sparling water from a land far a way.

That's a tough ask. There's over 50 types of added sugars that can be found in processed foods buried within ingredient lists and recipes etc and extracting that data is not easy and suspect that will be left up to the individual, but that's just a guess. People in the US consume just over a 1 lb a week of added sugars and…

I already addressed them. I'm not trying to sell you anything and never said it's an appropriate diet for anyone either, and just addressed points that were not accurate, which if you read my comments you should be able to figure that out and if not, then I suggest you actually do some research and avoid people like me…

I'm not advocating for you or anyone to embark on a ketogenic diet I'm just making sure when information that is not correct that I add some nuance. My point through all this was about the state of ketosis and it's effect on our metabolic state. Also keto treats for anyone that knows anything about the diet is an attempt…

I would also like to congratulate you on losing all that weight, you've worked hard and you have reaped those rewards, and yeah eating a lot of greens is ok but like @cmriverside said protein and fat are essential and carbs aren't, so that's not a long term solution. You are right as well when you say that when people on a…

Full fat yogurt, about 10% with frozen local blueberries, a double espresso and some sparkly water.

Lots of things effect blood glucose levels at any given time, like sleep and stress for example and when our cells need glucose our body will makes some glucose but chronically elevated levels of blood glucose that manifests into diabetes over time, decades for some is the body shutting down insulin or turning off…

Diabetes is caused by elevated blood glucose, period, if you don't eat sugar (carbs) you don't have elevated blood sugar. If it sounds simplistic, it's because it is.

3 sunny side up farm eggs cooked in butter, my homemade bacon and half an avocado with some cheese made from buffalo milk. Double espresso and some sparkly water from somewhere in the Alps.

Well no, spinach has less than a gram of protein per ounce and there's lot of plants that have much more per ounce like most beans, seed, legumes etc. and actually spinach is probably one of the lowest. 🤔

There is no RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) for fiber and the AI (Adequate Intake) is based on the data of people answering food frequency questionnaires which is purely observational and opinion which has by definition hundreds of confounders, basically it's an educated guess at best. The benefits of fiber are…

This morning I cooked about a 6 ounce striploin and 2 organic eggs from my local farm, some avocado slices. A double espresso and some sparkling water from some foreign country.

Both keto and paleo are closer to a species specific natural diet, every animal has one, and considering most of the foods of both are anti inflammatory is probably why it works so well. Current N-15 isotope analysis might be something to take a look at if anyone is interested. 😊

Also want to mention for anyone battling inflammation that both nuts and seeds are probably the highest source for omega6's with the exception of the refined oils they produce and the reason is they will exasperate inflammation and make the condition worse. If your curious research omega balance.

I've been on a ketogenic diet for years and I just stick to that pretty basic protocol which is eat until I'm full basically, then do that 1 or 2 more times a day. I don't worry about macros and calories and just make small adjustments for weight management. Works for me. 😊

3 chicken thighs and some kimchi, a double espresso and some fizzy water.
