I wonder how the cyclic ketogenic diet would pan out. It seems to be big in the weight lifting arena. I didn't see any studies on its effectiveness.

I understand that the Alzheimer's risk is increased for those with E4/E4 compared to E3/E4 and E2/E4, but what other differentials are there between them? Do E4/E4s have larger changes to their lipid profiles with diet changes? How about cardiovascular risks? I haven't seen much discussion on the E2...

Have you looked at US Wellness meats? They have very tasty organ meat blends and ship them frozen. I used to eat 5-6 oz of braunschweiger or liverwurst at a serving but now it's 2-3 oz. That's my only source of red meat. We'll see if I reorder when my supply runs out.

Does that also mean one should cycle their diets over time?

Glad you had such success. Thank you for being such an effective advocate for us. Continued well wishes for the testing[SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Hi cdamaden, I've switched out coconut oil and bacon grease for olive oil and avocado oil - replaced the fatty steaks and fried eggs with leafy green salads and have upped my nuts/seeds and avocado consumption too. Protein is more fish and chicken, whereas it used to be rib-eye and pork chops :) Th...
