Ketogenic dieting pointers

  1. What exactly produces the ketoacids?

    Since betahydroxybutyrate is water soluble, I use natural laxatives to maintain peristalsis, inhibited by fasting. No adrenaline during the day, but when I wake up, I can feel it until I get things moving again.

  2. That's a lot of saturated fat. I know sat fat is in fashion again, but I'm still hedging. I'm eating a bit more whole eggs and 30% fat reduced cheese (which still has flavor!), but I'm keeping one foot on (or is it off?) the boat. Moderation, and all that; and in that vein, whole grain carbs. I suppose my diet would best be described as the DASH Riprock diet. :D

    Yeah, I agree about the pigs. They're supposed to be the smartest animals on the farm and reportedly have the cognitive capability of a 3-year-old child, which is considerably more than that of an adult Trump supporter. Also, I read or heard somewhere that some firemen who have smelled burning human flesh were subsequently put off by pork.

    That’s a good idea. I have a low BT to ALCAR and C, so I take the prebiotic and insoluble for general health.

    Fasting -> liver FAs -> beta-oxidation -> acetyl-CoA -> TCA. It is my belief that ALCAR increase the tempo/clearance and perhaps capacity, by itself, and in the presence of supraphysiologic-ubiquinone/ol

    Structurally, animal fats have poor-adherence to arterial walls. VLDL is THE cause of arterial plaque/CAD.

    Also, a little valerian or benzo for GABA potentiation.

  6. I think even on Keto you should not be simply eating bacon and ribs all day. Even within fats there is a healthy balance. This is coming from a bacon-holic....

    Research VLDL and heart disease.

  8. I believe as you indicate there are the dense and fluffy LDL and high LDL alone is not a warning sign if you can then get the tests to determine what type of LDL you have, correct?

    Right. There is also a genetic predisposition for adhesion. A lot of moving parts, but just stay away from sugar as much as possible. Sugar=heart disease.

    I used to love doing the keto diet and it worked really well. As of last year, after I hit 45, whenever I tried doing it I had heart palpitations. One time it actually put me into afib! Obviously I was either doing it wrong or something significantly affected me like never before.
