Darn it, my hubby used to work in a lab.
Does a tbsp of butter in coffee break a fast and/or autophagy
Some good information in a related thread: Rosedale and mtor - how do we decrease it?
Justin.Traer ā I listened to the interview, amazing information. Some too nitty gritty for my understanding, but this is an exciting time to be alive. Also, I now have the answer to my question, āHow long of an extended fast is recommended for morbid obesity?ā Thanks!!
Interesting video on the effects of cream, MCT oil, and butter in coffee, as to whether or not it will break a fast.
Becky was not initially following a ketogenic diet, but Keith was, and had been for at least 7 months.
Keithās results appeared to have been disappointing because he was looking for those magic numbers.
Beckyās numbers were very impressive.
My question (and theory) is, can Keithās blood glucose and ketone numbers have been registering so low because he is more more fat adapted. If his body is utilizing ketones successfully, the āspillageā into his bloodstream may not accurately reflect his ability to utilize ketones.
Iām hoping thereās is a hail Mary here, because I have been doing ketogenic lifestyle for 1 month now. My blood ketones are all over the map-and showing very disappointingly low numbers (avg 0.7-1.0).
I am doing IF using my bulletproof coffee as a means to get thru the 16/8 fast. Iāve lost a whopping 3 lbs in a month, with a starting BF 26%, but I see a difference in how my clothing fit.
At 5ā6ā 168lbs, Iām just hovering over the healthy weight limit. I realize the scale doesnāt paint the bigger picture.
Iām also trying a low protein day twice a week to kickstart me into a higher ketosis range. Iām 56, and post menopause.
Iām not sure where (or if) Iām doing something to kick me out of ketosis, while showing low ketones in my bloodstream or if Iām just fat adapted and my bloodstream wonāt always show high ketones.
Can one still be in ketosis and show blood ketones in the low range? Obviously weight and clothing fit will be a better judge of that.
Why do you find those disappointing? Perfectly good nutritional ketosisā¦
Yours arenāt in a ālow rangeā though
Hmmm, Iām under the assumption that a better reading should look more like (1.5-2.0). Iām never (and never was) in that range. If Iām in ketosis, it should reflect a bit more either on a scale or in my clothing. And neither are truly budging.
