Hunger elimination . Mood leveling. Mental clarity.

[@C.I.A1947_]

Keto+ intermittent fasting is just amazing. Loving life right now I'm only on day ten, went through keto flu last Friday and ever since I've felt amazing

[@GameChanger597]

The keto flu is caused by a depletion of salt. Most carbs are full of salt and when you cut out the carbs, you inadvertently cut out the salt too. Your body needs salt and on the ketogenic diet, you should probably be getting close to a tablespoon a day but it needs to be pink salt or seasalt. Avoid the table salt that's processed and stripped of all its minerals.

[@pheresy1367]

[@TheRawfoodgardener]

Amazing. I found it the hardest diet to lose weight on, aren’t you hungry? I was constantly hungry on Keto.

[@pheresy1367]

@@TheRawfoodgardener Well.. We all have different situations with our individual biology (so they say). I have always gone long stretches of time between meals anyway. But, now I am aware of the "insulin thing" which keeps me from nibbling on carbs between meals. Advice that I got that I found to be true for ME was making sure to get my ELECTROLYTES. Potassium, Sodium, and trace mins. That really helped me ease thru fasting stretches. The other advantage to keto is that you can snack on FAT while you aren't able to burn your own. You can also scarf down some salad greens with olive oil and MCT and a little butter without spiking any insulin until your pre-decided time to "break fast" arrives. It seems that this Keto diet continues to evolve as "we" learn more about biology. But, I probably didn't say anything that you don't already know since you're no stranger to keto.

[@md82892]

Here are the key points from the conversation between Tom Bilyeu and Dr. Stephen Gundry: 1-Ketones were long thought to be a "superfuel" that makes mitochondria more efficient. But new research shows ketones are actually signaling molecules that tell mitochondria to protect themselves by "uncoupling" and wasting calories as heat. Uncoupling means protons flow out of mitochondria without making ATP energy. This protects mitochondria from damage during starvation, but means we need more calories. 2-Many compounds like polyphenols and MCTs trigger uncoupling. Goat/sheep dairy and purple sweet potatoes provide this in blue zones. Intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating generate mild uncoupling, which may extend lifespan like calorie restriction. Eating in a 6-7 hour window is ideal. 3-You don't have to be in full ketosis. Cycling ketosis by fasting 16 hrs and eating 6-8 hrs gives benefits without downsides like muscle loss. 4-Uncoupling theory explains why birds live so long despite high metabolism. Uncoupling is key to longevity. In summary, ketones aren't a superfuel but a signaling molecule for uncoupling. Mild uncoupling from polyphenols, fasting, etc. can improve mitochondrial health and lifespan.

[@martyplaysgames949]

I’ve lived most of my life on a carnivorous diet. As a kid my parents were very busy and were building the future at the expense of having me grow up with my grandparents who lived in a village by the mountain. Grandad was a hunter and he mainly consumed animal foods such as milk, yogurt, cheese, butter, and meats that’s what we had on a daily basis with very little veg. Eventually I moved to the big city with mom and dad and we started having loads of takeaways such as Chinese, McDonald’s, Pizza and what not and I went fat and felt horrible for a few years until we were in a position that they were super busy again and ended up bringing grandparents to the city to help them with me. My grandmom realized what happened and she put me on a low carb diet and within a year I got slim and healthy again. Eventually I grew up and was reading a lot about nutrition cause I was interested in boxing and lifting so I researched a lot and did quite a few mistakes along the way but now at the age of 28 I’ve learned what my body feels best on. This happens to be sort of a keto diet but I also have stuff like apples, and berries and some honey every now and again.

[@user-rf9wm3bv4f]

Stop letting all these voices confuse you about diet and what you should and shouldn't be eating. Its much simpler than that and you find the answer through experimentation. Do elimination diets and find the foods that give you energy and that you digest well. (I say this as someone with autoimmune disease) Ive done every diet you can think of for a minimum of a month up to years and personally find quality animal protein, fruit and certain vegetables works the best for me. Everyone will be different based on your body and health concerns. The only things everyone SHOULD remove are processed foods. Eat the most minimally processed food you can and eat enough to meet your macro/micro nutrient requirements. Don't feel the need to be downing supplements. Most people need as little as Vitamin D, K2 and magnesium and B12 if you're vegan. Simplify! :)

I RELY on Science by first running a lab panel or using one that pt already has and use my Optimal Blood Chemistry Analysis training. Next, I have clients answer a detailed questionnaire. I have clients submit a DETAILED Food Diary so I know what they are eating and also find out what foods they love, like, hate and avoid while also having them tell me how they react and FEEL after eating their food (and drinks) list. Habits and the way they eat. Everyone is an INDIVIDUAL! Interesting that What I’m seeing over the last 20+ years is a huge rise in Glyphosate toxicity! If they’re symptoms and food diary shows they consume many of the foods that are most contaminated with Glyphosate/Roundup use, I’ll suggest testing to see how toxic they are! I’ve learned to start North (with your mind) and work South (to anus). You cannot fix the end, with out starting at the beginning! The BEGINNING starts with the BRAIN and your mind health! It’s different for everyone and WORTH investing in one’s SELF, not waiting and putting off symptoms until you can’t stand it! More testing if needed and if indicated! Dedication and determination is key, but when a person starts FEELING and seeing a difference from being helped, gets the motivation flowing!…… 🙏

The good news is that carbs should not be demonized. It’s important to go through occasional carb loading. It’s necessary, do your research. So keto, IF and periodic carb loading is the way to go. But choose your carbs wisely. Not processed food. So from time to time, once or twice a month try a little carb load. Have your fries, or baked sweet potato. Have a pizza. Feel good about this treat. Also have your MCT oil, ACV and Polyphenols. Then go back to Keto. The real key is to avoid processed foods, processed oils and sugar.

I'm 38, I have IBS, insulin resistance, slightly higher than average blood pressure and severe insomnia (by the way, i have ideal weight for my size and age, which basically doesn't mean anything). I started Keto, made a transition of 2 days by lowering carbs gradually on my meals until there was no more than 20g a day. Then i spent 4 days eating 3 meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, with some snacks in the middle once in a while. At this point, my IBS was already much better, but i needed to eliminate some vegetables that i suspected were still keeping me bloated, so i went carnivore (cow meat, poultry, eggs and fish) for a week and all my IBS symptoms were gone, i felt more energized, more alive and the keto metal clarity kicked in. Also my hunger was less day by day and this prompted me to start intermittent fasting and eating 2 meals a day. So i did and reintroduced back some vegetables, dairy and some other things, every-time i had a slight hint on what was causing IBS i cut that food and introduced another. It's been 30 days since i started this, and now I'm doing 16 hours fasts with 2 meals a day within a 6-8 hour window (depending on my job and schedule). The results are that i lost 5kg, my IBS is totally gone, my blood pressure is normal, i sleep 7-8 hours a day and fall asleep easily and fast. I also do, occasionally, some light exercise at night, 15min 3 days a week. I can say this is the best I've felt in the last decade.

Isn't it GREAT to escape suffering with IBS and other GI disorders? Food is our medicine! For over 10 years I was in bad shape with IBS-D and 5 different doctors couldn't figure it out. I had GERD for over 20 years to the point it had scarred my esophagus. Keeping a food/health log ( as the book _Help for IBS_ by Heather VanVorus suggested), plus going on an elimination diet taught me what my trigger foods and drinks (and eating habits) were. Eric Berg DC got me started on healthy keto and IF 5 1/2 years ago. Dr.Ken Berry got me into carnivore and 'ketovore'. Dr.Jason Fung taught me benefits of extended fasting.

My take away is : you don't have to go carb free to get your ketosis metabolism working . JUST limit the window of eating to 6-7 hrs. and the 17-18 hour fast will do that for you.

I could not get under 220 lbs for the last year. I would not say my diet was bad, just the classic low cal, low fat diet. I would do 300 sets of abs 3-4 days per week and I still had this protruding belly. So I have this descended belly. I also had this persisting shoulder pain that felt like an ice pick jabbed in my shoulder, my hands always hurt. Anyways I got the big virus on Christmas Day of 2021. I could not eat my typical diet, and literally only at protein. Well I recovered from the virus after 4 days. After the 4th day my shoulder pain was gone, my hands were not swollen or in pain, and my belly was almost 3-4 inch flatter. It dawned on me that all these issues were diet. Over the last 4-5 months I eat this high protein, high natural fat, low carb diet. I do not eat a carb with a high fat, food. I do not eat fatty foods with a carb. I eat keto like, I do eat a lot of vegetables with now sugar, high fiber. Every 4th day I carb load 1 meal with a non processed carb. Rice, oatmeal with honey or another natural sweet substance. As of today, I have not lost mussels mass, or strength. I am down to 184 lbs. my body fat % went from 32.5% to 24.9%.

I have read his book, ‘The Plant Paradox’. As a student in nutrition science, I was very interested in the referenced literature. It was disappointing to say the least. Lots of cherry-picked information, including references to scientific articles that contradict the information provided in the book. Some were decent articles, but were totally put out of context. It seemed that the author did not go into the article himself and posted references just to look more scientific. Some of the information in the book was something that science would agree on for now. And there were some interesting facts that you can use to impress your friends and mom. But these ‘smart facts’ are often mixed with incorrect scientifically unproven conclusion statements that sound like ‘making sense’, but it is not. He may be a cardiologist, but by no means he is a dietitian or nutrition scientist. Especially if he is selling something (eg, supplements on his website to “save you” from lectins). It goes like this - 1. Make a problem; 2. Sell the solution.

I'm about to enter a career change to become a dietitian myself and with what limited knowledge I have currently, I also felt something was off in this talk. When he mentioned dairy consumption in seventh day Adventists it made me want to fact check him. I can't seem to find any data supporting his claim about how much dairy he seems to think they consume. If anything I can only find that those that do choose to eat dairy opt for low fat options. This did feel a bit cherry picked. He very quickly glossed over the okinawans. I can't find his 80% number he gave but I see numbers more in the 60% range for vegetables that include those purple sweet potato amongst other vegetables. They also did eat soy products that included miso, tofu and edamame. What he didn't mention is classically, they abstained from any dairy at all.

What's funny is at my hospital in particular, they try to make it fit the new USDA food plate by categorizing french fries and mac+cheese as "grains". Dessert will be a prepackaged fruit cup stored in syrup and an ice cream. Yeah, a ton of carbs and saturated fat but the carbs are a far cry from what you'd find in fresh fruit, whole grains and whole vegetables.

Take beans for example, a staple in vegan diets, but the keto folks will tell you it's terrible. Imo, if eating beans is the worst someone can say about your diet, you are healthy a healthy af diet! Another example is red meat- those who follow carnivore will tell you it's the healthiest food on the planet, plenty of doctors will tell you it increases likelihood of cancer, heart attack, etc. BUT, if eating red meat is the worst someone can say about your diet, it's probably a healthy af diet!

Ditto - ordered the book. I was glued to this video and then watched another one here. Fascinating and helpful to listen to Dr Gundry explain some of the newest research. I want to find out his tweak's for the Keto diet. It reduces my inflammation and takes away my asthma and who knows what else. I also started taking the MTC oil in my cupboard.

I started doing this starving actually fasting and lost 25 pounds lifting 10 lb dumbbells in 1 month and doing squats I’m on this forever trust me now waiting till I get home to eat is never a problem

[@chitskirits]

I got on a keto diet by mistake, I decided to lose some weight so I started exercising in the morning for half an hour and powerwalk for another 45 minutes as soon as got home I boiled 2 eggs with bread and salt at 1 o'clock I used to have either an avocado with feta cheese and tomatoes and kale and spinach or fish or boiled meat always with some greens and I started noticing that I didn't get hungry for dinner but for a while I still used to have some dinner but I stopped and you know how it goes you can't tell how you look but other people can and I was told 'you looking good' and al that s*it, after three months I stepped on the scales and I had a shock I dropped 17kg so as today I lost 21kg and I started eating a lot of meat and fat and I started adding some carbs because my sleep got affected and I stopped exercising every day I try to walk every day but no more HI exercise because I'm at my normal weight of 75kg as I'm 175 cm tall and I'm 64 yo. I'm slowly getting my sleep back naturally

[@fianatube2161]

Bread and tomato’s aren’t keto, you probably weren’t in ketosis but low carb diets can make you lose weight like crazy it’s all calories in calories out! Congrats! if you want to go full keto cut out all carbs except fiber, try to stay under 20g of carbs minus fiber and take potassium, (nu salt) and sodium(sea salt) and mix it in a large amount out water, flavor it with true lemon energy or mio, get magnesium CITRATE, and take about 400mg it will help you sleep, if you’re not getting your electrolytes you can’t sleep and will get the “keto flu”, you need 4000-5000 mg sodium, 1000-4000 potassium, depending on what you eat that day.

Same here buddy. No breakfast, fasted to the gym and 1 hour movement (walking incline, crosstrainer, rowing, running) usually around 11-12 am. Then eating 1000-1500 kcal animal based and another 500 kcal around 6pm. 6 days a week. Saturday I eat whatever I want. Never eat gluten, reduce grains as much as possible. Love milk, rib eye, fermented veggies like saurkraut.

[@MadsHilde]

I love keto, but because of an unsolved trauma in my body which causes histamine intolerance along with a whole lot of other stress symptoms, my body doesn’t cope well with keto right now. So I’m eating carbs in the most healthy way I know and try to fast, too. What I’d like to know is, when is the best time of the day to take MCT? With my breakfast or when I go to sleep and fast for several hours.

[@heidiw637]

Mine goes in my morning coffee with 2T of grass fed butter. It helps fuel my body with ketones from the start of the day. Keto and carnivore since 2013.

[@TheShaggy1966]

Well, here I am. A guy who really didn’t believe he could go without breakfast let alone lunch and dinner. Fasting SMOKES keto diet for this diabetic. I have faced the music…started fasting a while back. I eat higher fat and higher protein but not like the ratios on Keto (as I did for a year at one point and never lost weight and had great blood work though). Now I do OMAD 6 days a week and keep to around 1300 cals without feeling hungry. I rotate in 48hr and 72hr fasts and frankly they have become easier and easier. Fasting puts me in ketosis within 18hrs and I mean HARD ketosis (5!). My energy is 3x what it was, my digestive system is beyond great. My blood sugar doesn’t spike when I eat carbs. This is the cure for t2 diabetes and is the easiest method to maintain in my opinion. I am so glad I trusted Dr Sten Eckberg and tried fasting.

I would like Dr Gundry for being the first YT influencer that showed me that vegetables could be hurting my stomach.

[@jerryforetich7334]

For how many years were we all told to restrict calories and eat low fat diets?

[@mertonhirsch4734]

The problem is that producing ketones with MCT oil is not the same as entering nutritional ketosis. The body can produce ketones, but still be undergoing gluconeogenesis to produce glucose for the brain. In nutritional ketosis, the brain switches over to functioning on ketones instead of glucose. Provoking ketones in the presence of dietary carbs can actually raise blood sugar because the ketones cause physiological insulin resistance requiring more insulin to manage glucose, but in nutritional ketosis fasting blood sugar goes down because the brain has switched over to ketones and don't need dietary glucose or the liver to make glucose any more.

My experience with KETO: in 3 months I lost 102 lbs, that was amazing and scary at the same time, I was eating 1800 calories a day, 80% fat 15% proteins and 5% fat. Then on the 3rd month I started craving for sugar at night time around 3 or 4 AM, I did not know at the beginning but these were signs of hypoglycemia. It took me almost 2 years to recover. The weight I had lost was partially gained in 2 years but not as much, over 40 lbs. So i started the carnivore diet, and it worked out this time for 9 months until I started getting weight and was feeling extremely sluggish, and I had extremely low levels of testosterone (205). I stopped the carnivore diet and my T levels went back up again. I don't know what to do to lose weight.

[@everennui1]

I decided to try this diet out, and I'm probably doing everything wrong. I'm going over 20 carbs a lot. I think I usually do about 40 grams a day. I've fallen off a lot. The processed foods are too tempting! But every time I start this diet I start losing weight IMMEDIATELY. The last 3 days I've lost 6lbs. I can't believe it.

[@andrewjones8484]

In Fred Hatfield's book "Bodybuilding: A Scientific Approach" (old book from the 80s) he claims that studies showed one way a muscle cell can grow is by adding mitochondria, and the stress that induces mitochondria reproduction is... anaerobic stress (accomplished by continuous tension static or kinetic exercise, if I remember right) lasting 90 seconds or more... which is a long damn time. I used to accomplish this (I grew A LOT following this book's advice) by lifting a really light weight really slowly for 20-25 repetitions, to failure, which is what Hatfield recommended. It's quite painful, but making your muscles both bigger and healthier? Shhheeee.
