Keto Academy and Exogenous Ketones

[richard]

If you are registering the acetones (only thing I can afford to do & the pee sticks pretty much no longer work for me) does that mean you probably are in ketosis?

Yep. You sure are.

Of that 22 g about 10 g is sugar alcohols, amino acids, citric acid, and stevia, etc. Ketone salts taste bad and need a lot of help to be palatable.

So that would be 12 2/3 packets a day … so $443 a day or roughly $161,927 every year.

Here’s a label from Pruvit’s Keto OS, one of the more successful/popular exogenous ketone products.

An amusing thing to note is the product has 41 calories, 20 of which are accounted for by carbohydrates, leaving at best 21 calories of ketones…

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The energy density (attwater factor) for ketones is roughly 7 kCal/g so that would imply about 3g of the product is usable ketones, making the product 15.4g of fillers including 5g of which are carbohydrates - probably making sure you don’t make many ketones of your own and confound their result.

OK let’s do the math again

3g per pack, we need 57 in a day so that’s 19 packets, @$35 per packet that’s $665 per day or $242,891 per year … manufactured by my liver.

Apparently I need to work out a way to rent out my livers production of ketones.

I’d bet Dr. Fung could dialyze you of the ketones
Bottle it and sell it ?
If you stayed Keto, and ketones were artificially removed (via dialysis) your body would likely ramp up production … likely ramping up fat burning !

So you’d get rich and get skinny

Of course, as you got skinnier, you’d likely produce less ketones. That could hurt profits.

Quickest solution would be to gain 50 lbs of fat on a SAD diet (extra HFCS) and then get back into ketosis.

Did I just find a use for the Ornish diet ? Who knew !
