I started Keto on October 20, 2014 and started posting my experiences on November 4, 2014. A lot has happened in a year. I’m 77% the man I used to be; so let’s do a retrospective. I initially started keto without having done the right research and didn’t know what “keto flu” was or how […]

A great article that talks about how diet advice ignores hunger can be found here: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/30/opinion/diet-advice-that-ignores-hunger.html?_r=0 As described on Reddit: An excellent article highlighting the differences between fat and carb restricted diets, and the aftermath when people end them, and the effect that carbs have on increased hunger. Gary Taubes is the guy that wrote “Why […]

She’s been doing less than 20g/day of carbohydrates (Keto) for 13 years! She also does a very good comparison of her inability to tan and her tolerance for carbohydrates. Being pale and getting a sun burn doesn’t mean she doesn’t have enough will power – that’s just how her body is. From the video description: […]

…though I’m sure their mothers love them all very much. I get asked a lot about the vitamins I include in Keto Chow, specifically they’re the “Kirkland Signature Daily Multi” from Costco. Can you use a different multi-vitamin? maybe but you will likely have deficiencies in some areas and overages in others. The recipe for Keto Chow […]

An interesting thread on Reddit talks about the glycemic load of the official Rosa Labs Soylent 1.5 and how it has twice the glycemic load as Coca Cola. It got me thinking: I wonder what the glycemic index of Keto Chow would be. I already know that it has virtually no detectable impact on blood […]

Found this today via random chance. It’s an article that appeared in Reader’s Digest. It was following the release of Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It – which was a condensed version of Good Calories, Bad Calories. So if you want a really quick summary, from the Author himself, here you go: […]

I read Gary Taubs’ earlier book Good Calories Bad Calories a few weeks ago, I followed it up with his newer book Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It. While it doesn’t have the same breadth of information as Good Calories it’s more clearly delivered and easier for non-technical-medial people to understand. […]

You can read the full thing here: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/columnists/article4449967.ece?shareToken=7dba4f3ccd918bfcc1a900e04c14f6bb Quick quote: Indeed, the evidence that insisting on low-fat diets caused people to eat more carbohydrates, and that led to the explosion in obesity and diabetes, looks pretty strong — so far. After all, the main route by which the body lays down fat is to manufacture […]

I’m finally finishing up Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Healthby Gary Taubes. He wrote another book “Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It” that apparently covers much of the same info but is simpler and easier to take in, I’m going to read it […]

Really excellent presentation about his own N=1 experiment with Ketosis. Gives quite a bit of info but doesn’t overwhelm with details. Same guy from TEDMED Share

Just saw this, had to share. It comes with excellent sources and references to valid studies: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/8-common-misconceptions-about-ketogenic-diets/ Share

Last night I watched this really great presentation. She sums a lot of the concepts surrounding Keto very well. I didn’t ever get “The Diabetus” but I was heading down that path and I’m absolutely insulin resistant, probably worse. Share

This is adapted from a really good write-up on reddit.com/r/soylent – If you want to know more about why Ketogenic Diets work, check out my review of “Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It.” The aim with nutritional ketosis is to get under a certain threshold of carbohydrates so your body is […]

A coworker asked me a while ago about all the stuff I’m using, so here are the apps, monitors and other things I’m using to track stuff about my health. Activity Monitor I grabbed a used Fitbit Flex off eBay about a month ago to see if I would like it better than the Jawbone […]

Loosely following the recipe for “Fat Bombs” from this site, I put all the coconut flour plus the caloric equivalent to all of my MCT into these little guys. Ended up with 100g of coconut flour that I toasted in the oven for about 10 minutes and 104g of coconut oil that happily melted when […]
