Keto - Day 2
interestingly, my ketones went up once I stopped PSK and went to keto. I think this is mostly dietary fat converted to ketones, not body fat ketones. My GKI dropped under 2 also but I’m not sure if GKI is meaningful after only 24 hrs of fasting (since I OMAD whether PSK or Keto).
I did lose weight on PSK.
I used 19 days for the average of the EF but still corrected for the first three days that came back after the fast… here are the results:
so PSK was half the fat loss of EF (54%) and almost three quarters the lean mass loss of EF (72%).
Based on my results, EF is still a superior lean mass preserving and fat mass losing approach. The very high ketones achieves are excellent at preserving lean mass. The PSK’s protein abundance is actually less effective than just the very high ketones.
It does beg the question… what if exogenous ketones were used while on PSK? Combine the abundance of protein with the protection of very high ketones?
I would expect that consuming exogenous ketones would reduce fat mass loss… it’s an immediately available energy source.
I will say that going from PSK to Keto is hard on the digestion. Going from 800 calories to 2000 OMAD was not easy but I wanted to break my fast and hopefully kick up my metabolism in the process.
Tomorrow I’m going to Keto to satiety… if that happens at 1000 calories, so be it.
