Why, is there a scientific explanation?Short and medium chain fatty acids are the preference.
The eyes for example can only use glucose and perhaps a few other organs. Also it's essential for the production of mucus in the body, i.e. it's not just for energy. But yes in general it's accepted that the minimum requirement is 50 grams or so but it's not proven if long term that's enough when you also eat low-protein. In general those who do a keto diet eat a lot more protein.Brain uses the only essential glucose I believe.
Here's the chemistry of baking soda + some acids in OJ: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1893&p=29535#p29535
It really depends on the oranges you have, for how much baking soda is necessary. First I had some really sweet oranges, and only needed 2-3g of baking soda per L. Now I have some really acidic ones, and it seems like that is nearly not enough.
I can also testify that it really helps with the teeth, at first I was drinking it without neutralizing and it was terrible, both tongue and teeth were hurting and coated with plaque. With the baking soda everything is normal and under control :)
Why/how does it maximize? I eat animal food with honey anyway, but I'm curious.Always consume a small amount of carbs before eating animal stuff to maximize absorption.
I doubt, probably you have lost some fat so they are better visible now?The silly part is that I have much more muscles now
Hmm I have more energy than ever now that I'm following the wai diet, so that's strange.And I don't have any signs of energy deficiency as I would on the wai diet previously.
