It’s all about the science my dear LeCheffre!
What advice would you give to your newbie keto self?
Would you mind whipping it out? Or, as the keto kids of Missouri might say, Show Me (the science).
For starters Fung 54:49 (cooked/processed)
We are talking whole-foods (unprocessed).
Just as it would not be logical to eat starch based foods (cooked) if your trying to initiate ketosis.
”…Is potato starch LCHF? Could it lower your blood sugar? Incredibly enough, the answer seems to be “yes” – if you don’t heat it. …” …More
Ever eaten raw potato sticks or slices?
Dr. Peter Attia demonstrates this with his own n=1 experiment…
But that doesn’t mean people on KETO can eat it! I have a grain mill and used to mill fresh for bread. I was FAT!
Bread can elevate and dysregulate the level of blood sugar in the body and if your dietary intake consists mainly of carbohydrates and is limited in fat and protein; that is why people get fat when they eat too much of it!
@atomicspacebunny do you think some people simply do better on higher carb though? My digestion issues are much better on a diet of whole grains - unless I supplement boatloads of magnesium, I’m clogged up with cement logs.
…Lol
I have eaten bread through my whole ketonautic journey with no problemos and as I mentioned above, the reasons bread ‘CAN’ be bad?
I missed that comment. I do wonder in general though about some people doing better higher carb vs higher fat - or a more “balanced” ratio in general.
Lol I know cheating! Sitting here eating bread doing keto while everybody suffers!
I’ve added beer back in (I’ve been a craft beer geek for years), and I know if might be stalling weight loss, but it doesn’t seem to affect blood sugar or inflammation much, so since I’m in it for the long game, I’m choosing to embrace the lifestyle aspect.
The Taco Bell runs as a result of impaired judgement from the beer are a separate issue.
“Real” parm is very overrated, and doesn’t work well for a lot of the things I use the glorious green can for.

Ah, my bad. Didn’t realise we were discussing the actual can itself.
