Arguments In Favor Of Ketogenic Diets

Which is why a ketone meter is required. E.g., https://www.abbottdiabetescare.com/p...-overview.html Accurately measuring low levels of ketones in the blood should be a game changer for anyone willing to learn to use and such an instrument. The use of test strips was from the absence of such an instrument on the market in the past. Any idea how long this has been on the market? Jimmy Moore is currently using one in another n=1 experiment. http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/j...-151-180/16584 Data, data, data. Most excellent. He does the high fat, medium protein, low carb approach I have long recommended for busting stalls. The fat content drives the glucagon. He'd already lost ~200 pounds on a low-carb diet, but found himself in a prolonged stall (a couple of years, I think). So with the use of a ketone meter (to guide his diet, as there appears to be a "sweet spot" for ketones and weight loss, and it's probably different for everyone), he's *rapidly* losing weight again. I think Jimmy works out way too much, but he's now on a glide path to get to what his ideal weight probably is. We'll see. Low carbing for triathelon folks. Okay. PS: Yes, Doug, it's pretty easy to measure ketones accurately, but not by peeing on a stick. The sticks never had any accuracy but yes/no. Many never get this point. |
