im thinking of making a broth drink, i got a bunch of cans of swanson chicken broth, it has all good ingredients compared to campbells or store brand (but is owned by campbells) im thinking of using 200ml, diluting it with 50ml water, heating it slightly and adding a pinch of potassium chloride and a teaspoon of brain octain mct oil

i still drink a few gulps of water as soon as i awake, as i keep a bottle beside my bed, but i think this will give me electrolytes and ketones to start my day

i more or less quit coffee months ago, actually almost a year now, ill have some very rarely but never in the morning, tea i have more often but usually in the evening around 5pm, and usualy rooibos to avoid caffien

i was eating high protein for a month, and my glucose was constantly above 5.4 and ketones constantly 1.0 or lower

i did one day of 2:1 keto where i only ate 60g protein and within hours my glucose was in the 4's and my ketones 3.6

so the high protein was keeping my glucose up and ketones down, and presumably my insulin up, think this is by design to make use of the protein by keeping you in a anabolic state?

TLDR; less protein, more fat, less glucose, more ketones, few words do

i have been eating a carnivore-ish diet for the last month, eating roughly 150g protein and 150g fat with 5-30g carbs a day, mostly closer to the 5g only using some herbs and spices, but some days i nom nom on lots of pickels and olives and kimchi

i got a ketomojo a few days ago, and took my fasted blood tests the last three mornings, as well as a couple postprandial tests

every time i tested, both the fasted and postprandial, my glucose was between 5.2-5.8 and my ketones between 0.9-1.0

this morning my glucose was 5.6 and my ketones were 1.0 12 hours fasted

well i fell down a medical keto rabbit hole today, so i started doing a 2:1 keto diet, and a few hour post prandial my glucose was 4.5 and my ketones were 3.6

crazy the numbers were "better" then my fasted numbers on nutritional keto

my protein today was low, 61g, my carbs were 13, and my fat was 154g

id like to get the protein a little higher tomorrow, and subsequently my fat as well in lockstep, also the 200g keto icecream i ate wrecked my ulcer, so i need to stop dairy and replace with fat and oil

i thought my meds were messing my numbers up, but perhaps it was my portien driving glucose, and my fat not high enough for ketones

i recently got a keto mojo to test my blood for fun, my glucose can get low enough im happy (~5.2) but ive never seen my ketones above 1.0, most of the time they are 0.9

my lowest fasting GKI was 5.2:1 (5.2 glucose, 1 ketone, easy math ha)

my highest fasting GKI was 6.4:1 (glucose 5.8, ketones 0.9)

id like to get my GKI to 4.0:1

im thinking my antipsychtic is keeping insulin and blood sugar up, suppressing ketones, the thing is i feel fine, i dont feel low energy (actually my energy increased since i quit sugar) i do light exercise, i havnt tried doing any heavy exercise (i run after my dog, or lift light weights or jump rope)

any thoughts?

right now nofrills has 30 eggs for 6.99 for members, 799 for plebs, and food basics has 30 eggs for 6.88 limit 2

i heard these companies make thier flyers a year in advance or some shit

they have to be colluding who get to sale what, yours saying both these companies, a year ago independent of each other decided to sale eggs this week for $7

how is this diffrent from the bread scandal? explain like im 5

I like their content, but i dont know if they believe it, Edward Goeke has specifically said some things in his videos that sounds like someone saying "I am bullshitting you and you are lapping it up", I cant recall what he said specifically atm so maybe i shouldnt have mentioned it, but i had that thought more then once watching his videos, to a lesser degree the live stream last week on one of bart kays channels, and where i got the title of this post, they literally "sarcastically" joke they are grifters right at the start of the stream

but the worse part is they both shill the cerule products, whether they work or not the company is a MLM scheme and the stem cell one is made form Spirulina and some Algae, does that make it ineffective, idk, plants have always been used medicinally

anyone watch these two? whats your opinions?

I have never done any of these repairs before, the most ive done is replace wifi card, and ram

im a little bit nervous

my fan blew up a month ago so i ordered a new fan, and a LLM told me i might as well upgrade the CPU and the thermal paste is probably dry too

I was using a LLM to ponder the term orthoexia, and why there isnt an opposite term for people who obsessively only eat unhealthy foods, and i got the LLM to coin the term xenarexia

from xenos for foreign (or unnatural) and exia - appetite

when i start to lose enough weight to look better and people ask what i did, im thinking of just saying I got over my xenarexia, my obsession to eat only unnatural foods

im about 1-2 weeks almost carnivore, i use some plants like herbs and spices and some days drink a tea with stevia and milk

I quit smoking 2 years ago after 20 years smoking, but ive notice since i think ive entered ketosis my "smokers cough" has returned, like before i started i might cough a few times a week, now its few times a day

all my brain can think is maybe my lungs are more dry from dumping water, idk, it dosnt make much sense so im grasping for straws

okay poor title, but im dumb and couldnt word it right

my question is if the Warburg effect says cancer cells need more glucose then a normal cell due to damaged mitochondria, why isnt reducing carbohydrates indicated? at least in conjunction with how ever you treat the cancer? (surgery or radiation or w.e.)

wikipedia specifically says

>Society and culture

>The Warburg effect has served as a locus of popular misconceptions that cancer can be treated by reducing food and carbohydrate intake to supposedly "starve" tumours. In reality, the health of people with cancer is best served by maintaining a healthy diet.^([1])

is this 100% accurate? say i ate carbohydrates that are considered healthy ( so i dont mean twinkies) maybe 300g sweet potato a day, this wont have any effect on the cancer as compared to someone doing some keto shit keeping carbs under 20g?
