Oh, another amazing effect, the thing that tells me when to eat now is my HEAD/brain not my gut/stomach. I used to get strong desires, originating from my gut area, to eat carbs before the keto diet, now I just feel weak, headache, or annoyed in my head when I need to eat again (I get immersed in my...

no acid taste yet I recently discovered my bacon had been cured with sugar, I don't think it was enough to take me out of keto adaptation process, but it wasnt helping, so I found bacon not cured with sugar, and I had more intense keto adaptation symptoms the past 3 days. No acid taste though. I've ...

That is just the kinds of things older people say/identify with to deal with the inevitability of death, and to not feel so bad about it. I'm sure I'll think similarly when I'm a little older, but I'll know it's just an emotional trick. The truth is if it was normal for humans to live 200 years, eve...

modern lifestyle disease is the combined disease of early onset of heart attacks, diabetes, etc. All major risk factors are increased and longevity parameters are shortened by a poor diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle somewhat can reduce a poor diets harmful effects, but it still remains true. A g...

People who are old and tired are that way mostly because they feel worn down. If they had a 20 year old body again they would most likely want to live longer, just because there's an infinite amount of curiosity out there, new passions and things. I could spend half a year making my own videogame, a...

Also, it should be noted that while it's possible to bulk up and/or be a bodybuilder on a ketogenic diet, and that it's actually easier to do than when on a low carb high fat diet (but not quite keto, which lots of bodybuilders stupidly do), it's harder than bulking up on a high carb diet. I don't c...

I found this interesting, that glucose is recycled better on keto "How much carbohydrate per day is needed to sustain the body? When carbohydrate is removed from the diet, the body undergoes at least three major adaptations to conserve what little glucose and protein it does have (5). The primary ad...

I was referring to the linked post in this topic by Novidez in which you responded to keto dog, basically saying that a ketogenic diet is similar to fasting in that it is protein-wasting (muscle tissue wasting or accelerated aging) I consider this an oversimplficiation, taking into consideration onl...

Actually I just checked, I've been on the diet for at least 10 days, maybe 11-12

During the first 5 days, I had pains in random spots each day. Early on it was headaches, eyes felt like their muscles had been worked out even upon waking, neck pain, back pain, later I got upper thigh and leg pain, lower back pain, arm pains, etc. One by one they would stop and another would appea...

@Aytundra yes that's the plan, I've been successfully doing a ketogenic diet for the past 8 days (maybe more, I can't remember when I started), which is a long time for me. The most important thing is that I have no uncontrollable cravings for carbs/caffiene/etc. Before this diet, I was drinking mor...

@Oscar I was very new to ketosis at the time of this post, there are even body builders who are on a ketogenic diet, it appears muscle tissue doesn't continually break down as RRM said, a body in ketosis uses fat not muscle tissue for energy, and gets other nutrients from a nutritional ketogenic die...

@Novidez yes, I and the rest of the universe are shaped by the environment, whether that environment be people, gravity fields, etc. We are totally at the mercy of that environment, even though we have a very persistent illusion of self control/free will, much like the illusion of vision - what we s...

I'd say it can be very hard to get control over your emotions, but if you already have control over your emotions, raising a child to have control over their emotions is extremely easy. The monks and people like that who train children from a young age generally have no problem teaching the child. I...
