I don't understand what happens if a normal-weight person eats just above the calorie amount required for "ketosis". Say I eat 60g of calories/day - that's still not enough energy from carbs to keep me going as an organism, so the body would have to be turning all the fat I'm eating into ketones, right?
Is the state of ketosis only important for people wanting to burn stored fat?
I'm not overweight, but thought keto might reduce my migraines. Also, "mental clarity" would be an improvement!
Five weeks in, I'm not feeling anything. No changes to mind, sleep, energy, weight. I suspect that's because I've been off sugar and junk food for a decade, so there's not that "gain" to be had.
Or, it's because I'm eating an absolute ton of calories (just like before). So I might be exceeding 50 g/day of carbs.
Typical day:
peanuts (maybe 5 handfuls per day), almonds, cashews, and walnuts (maybe an additional 2 handfuls per day).
tons of eggs, meat, yoghurt, cheese.
a few non-starchy vegies
2 segments of mandarin orange
I'm hoping to not have to count macros, so your opinion is helpful here. Even if I did count, I wouldn't know what to make of the carb total, because I think maybe I should be looking at carbs as a percentage of my high daily intake? Or should I just cut carbs even further and see what happens?
EDIT: Correct units to g/day.

I have a very hacked together plymouth (LUKS password) -> Ubuntu -> LightDM -> awesomewm setup. It's been stable for years.
I recently wanted to simplify things and use gnome-keyring as my ssh-agent (before, was using openssh's with ssh-askpass for a graphical password prompt).
Gnome-keyring is already used by Chrome, so this seemed like a good idea.
I got it to work, but a) wow dbus makes everything weird and hard and b) I'm not proud of the way I got it to work.
Does anybody have a setup using gnome-keyring that they're proud of? The goal is for one prompt to unlock the login keyring, so that Chrome passwords and ssh keys are available from then on.
Perhaps it's wisdom, or perhaps its defence against the crazy rate of change, but I find myself more and more drawn to simple tech and solutions - things that haven't changed in a long time because they're almost perfect. Taking the SO dev survey today, I realized a lot of my favorites maybe aren't well known.
Here's my list today.
I'm in a phase where not much excites me about this industry, but that list fills me with the warm fuzzies.
Anything you like that I'm missing?
