What’s the best ways to get back on that horse? Keto has stalled.

Some possibilities here, although I don’t necessarily agree with all of them:

Fasting. In one word.

Spend some time reading on autophagy. If you can fast for 24-36 hours you can get the big part of the benefit, and…it will kick your weightloss back up.

The biggest benefit I see to autophagy is that it will slowly reduce and eliminate lose skin. Well, to say nothing of the benefit to all you organs.

If you haven’t checked out Ken Berry MD he’s a great doctor with sensible advice and a foe home personality. :cowboy_hat_face:

I noticed he said a stall is not really a stall!

The body is simply re-wiring itself?

I was looking at some older research and a transcript by neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel[2] and since you and others on forum are gourmet chef’s I thought this may interest you; it is cooking food[2] that makes us human, that’s the only difference between us (besides being sexual beings) and animals in that we try to pre-digest[2] our food outside the body to extract energy and nutrients specifically for the energy demand of the human brain which is 25% and the rest is used to power the body unlike other said primates because it makes it easier for us to eat and digest which explains why we have the intellectual capabilities (building of neuro- transmitters) no other mammal or creature possess (they don’t cook their food, on the hand nor were they intended to eat cooked or processed food).

Now that we know that, maybe we are extracting a little too much energy from the food we eat by not only cooking it but processing it? We feed our brains more than we feed our body!

…just thought that was an interesting observation?

[1] “…In this experimental model, body fat accumulation is, therefore, directly linked to the protein content of the diet, inversely proportional to the fat level and not related to the carbohydrate content. Since the animals increase the proportion of protein in their food with age above basic nutritional requirements, it is postulated that the macronutrient choice of the rat is also determined by the need of the brain for a proper and balanced supply of neurotransmitter precursors adapted to the situation of each animal. …” …More

[2] “…The human brain also seems special in the amount of energy that it uses. Although it weighs only two percent of the body, it alone uses 25 percent of all the energy that your body requires to run per day. That’s 500 calories out of a total of 2,000 calories, just to keep your brain working. …So this to me became the important question to answer: how many neurons does the human brain have, and how does that compare to other animals? …And it turns out that both human and other brains cost about the same, an average of six calories per billion neurons per day. So the total energetic cost of a brain is a simple, linear function of its number of neurons, and it turns out that the human brain costs just as much energy as you would expect. …” …More
