With regards to glycogen stores, it depends on how active you are. You can burn through all your glycogen with a couple of intense work out periods or it will take your body anywhere from 16-48 hours to deplete if inactive. You'll notice when your glycogen is disappearing just by looking at the scales. Remember to keep…

There are some gems out there that lead into a network of solid websites containing papers, lectures and podcasts.

How is it dangerous when the science is there to back it up? There is actually zero science behind fats causing heart disease. If you want to learn more, watch the video I linked. Otherwise I'll take your understanding of it as word of mouth or listening to government advice which the majority of the time favors who ever…

Yes, to a degree. However the whole calorie in calorie out is what people seem to misunderstand. I don't know why people think it's really as simple as that because it just isn't. Even though a calorie is a unit of energy, the way the body processes the calorie from different macronutrients is totally different and excess…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2zoDsVimyw People who eat diets in high in sat fat have lowered risk of heart disease.

Yes a calorie is still a unit of energy. The way we measure the energy outside of the body is through burning it to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1deg c. The process of us breaking down different macronutrients has totally different effects on the energy within the calorie ingested. Energy and excess fat aren't…

Not true. Fats do not cause heart related disease. Diets high in fat and low in carbs have proven to reduce Triglycerides and higher HDL better than current drugs on the market. LDL-P also vastly improves though total cholesterol could go up (not a good marker for heart risk).

A lot of what he was saying is what is being found in current research. Nutrition over the past 30-40 years has never been based on science but anecdotal evidence. We still have a problem today of science trying to link correlation with causation which in most cases, misleads a lot of people including people the with money…

If you're on keto you'll get a benefit from it. What we currently understand about Medium Chain Triglycerides is that they skip the primary fat metabolism pathways and are shunted straight into the liver to create ketones. This in the short term boosts energy levels but the increased ketone production is only temporary.…

This is a pretty good explanation and presentation of solid data. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2zoDsVimyw

Nutritional Ketosis has proven time and time again to lower tris, higher HDL and either lower or higher LDL. If you end up with a higher LDL it's not a problem on Ketosis. If you had low tris and high LDL and the doctor goes off on one, tell them to get a further LDL-P test to show particle size breakdowns. The number of…

http://cavemanketo.com/ One of the perks to Keto is you have to learn to cook to enjoy it fully. It's great.

Carbs (<20g) > Protein > Fat to satiety > what's a calorie? Literally it.

That's bro science dude. Hunger is hormonal (ghrelin) and insulin doesn't suppress that hormone. If you have to eat until you feel like you are going to pop, you're doing it wrong. You should know when to put the knife and fork down, not when you 'feel' full. Also, in response to OP and to counter what you said. I eat <20g…

May the bro-science be with you!

A lot of people struggle to get into deep ketosis because they dont eat enough fat. Just having a glance at what you eat, altough good in most cases, there isnt enoguh fat. Atleast 70% of your macronutrients should be coming from fat. You are correct in saying protein can throw you off and into a wobbly one. You want to…

Personal fav is bacon wrapped blocks of cheese.

I.E wasn't eating enough fat. Heard of how leptin and ghrelin interact?

Depends what your goals are. Weight loss? No it's a bad idea. It will take you a couple of days, sometimes weeks to return to nutritional ketosis which will slow you down. Depends on the person. Lifting? It has it's benefits but it's not needed.

You had no clue how to approach this which is why you failed. I saw no mention of increased fat intake, nor will you suddenly switch to nutritional ketosis in a day. You were probably tired because you pushed your body to deplete liver glycogen and your body had no carb intake to replenish it. There is a reason people feel…

Cholesterol isn't as simple as it's too high or too low. Also, fat doesn't cause bad cholesterol. High triglycerides are bad and have been straight up linked to carbohydrates. High LDL isn't bad if your triglycerides are low. There are also three types of LDL, the smaller lipo protein being the most dangerous. High HDL is…

Low carb certainly works and brings a huge number of health benefits. Weight loss isnt quite as simple as the whole calorie in/out theory. Your body responds to differwnt macronutrienst with differwnt hormones leading to different metabolic processes. If you are overweight it is usually down to hormonal imbalabces within…

Head on over to r/keto on reddit. Great community and very active. Lots of solid science and a lot of fantastic results to push motivation.

Low carb certainly works depending on how you approach it. High fat, mod protein, low carb will yeild results 100%. You will also benefit from a plethora of health boosts. I see a lot of people throwing the word sustainable around a lot. Its 100% sustainable if you get past the first couple of weeks. Low carb will be the…
