This was uploaded yesterday. I’m still listening to this but I thought others would want to see this video.
Dr. Stephen Phinney - 'Troubleshooting the Ketogenic Diet for Optimal Weight and Health'
this is really amazing
he answered questions that I was suspicious about.
I even mentioned in this forum several times.
Dr Phiinney mentioned that inflammation kill ketones.
When I have diverticulitis flares my energy goes to the floor because I am on hi fat diet and not producing ketones due to the chronic inflammation of diverticulitis.
thanks
Fantastic resource, thank you so much!
I think my biggest takeaway was the idea that processing meat takes potassium out and replaces it with sodium. I love hearing experts who love their field answer questions, as they build a wealth of accessory information that they can share.
Unless you’re carnivore meat is a fairly low source for potassium compared to vegetables and keto friendly fruits like avocados and tomatoes. Salmon is the most potassium rich meat.
I don’t like avocados (and they are high in linoleic acid, a bad PUFA), and rarely eat tomatoes, and have no issues with potassium. I’m not carnivore, but close.
I take a potassium supplement at the advise of my cardiologist. Maybe this is one thing he got right.
+1 avacados
+1 tomatoes (in limited qty)
+1,000 salmon
I thought this video would be a great appendage on this thread for Dr. Phinney’s troubleshooting tips:
