Science: Metabolic Effects of the Very-Low-Carbohydrate Diets: Misunderstood “Villains” of Human Metabolism
In a recent thread on reddit I was directed over to an excellent journal article from 2004 “Metabolic Effects of the Very-Low-Carbohydrate Diets: Misunderstood ‘Villains’ of Human Metabolism” – it does a really great job explaining some of the actual science behind a ketogenic diet and debunks several myths including “you need 100g of carbohydrates a…

User experience: 100lbs lost doing keto in 5 months, 3 months of Keto Chow
Over on Reddit there’s a post by /u/ANewAccountYetAgain detailing his experiences with nutritional ketosis. He did keto before, went from 330 to 253 lbs over 6 months but stopped when depression came back and over the next 3 years gained it all back and more. 5 months ago he started keto thanks to /r/100DaysofKeto and also tried DietBet (money…

So far, no correlation between breath acetone and blood ketones
For the last 40 days I’ve been checking my blood ketone levels (using a Nova Max and horribly expensive test strips) and at the same time checking my breath acetone levels using a Ketonix. Based on my blood levels I haven’t been deep in ketosis but I expected there to be some sort of correlation…

Day 026 – 100 days of Keto (Chow)
Weight: 207.8 Blood ketones: 0.4 mmol/L Made some more muffins this morning. Again the kids finished them off. We watched the finale of “My Diet is Better Than Yours” – it was kinda surreal when the Paleo guy started explaining Intermittent Fasting. My kids actually knew what it was before he explained it.

PSA: “Fat Head” documentary online
This came up today so I thought I’d post for everyone, the Fat Head documentary used to be on YouTube but was taken down. Now days you can find it on Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/watch/196879 and also on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/127401963 – the Hulu one seems more official. If you haven’t seen Fat Head, it’s a rather good introduction to HFLC/Keto…

Weight: 209.0 Blood ketones: 0.3 mmol/L Weight: 209.4 Blood ketones: 0.1 mmol/L Messed up and had some “sugar free” candy – I put that in quotes because it has malitol which is only marginally better than sucrose. My weight is back up to what it was when I started 100 days of keto, so that’s…
