I was watching this podcast today with a true biohacker's biohacker. I thought you all might get a kick out of this guy's n=1 approach. Every 90 days, he runs a food reactivity test then formulates his diet accordingly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWAe_mdTslc#t=37m For some background info, Brya...

Three kinds of muffins were on the menu: a high-fat, low-sugar muffin ...wait what? A high-fat muffin? If the study was looking to determine which diet was the "best diet" based on postprandial glucose readings, then an omnivorous ketogenic diet would produce similar results across the en...

FWIW, here's my LDL particle size while eating a very high amount of MCT oil: Small LDL-P: <90 (optimal) LDL Size: 21.7 - Large Pattern A (optimal) LP-IR Score: <25 HDL-C: 92 mg/dL While on a more traditional keto diet, my lipids look like: apoB: 72 mg/dL apoA1: 192 mg/dL Triglycerides: 65 mg/dL LDL...

FWIW, Mark Sisson's skepticism on the study from the OP https://www.marksdailyapple.com/keto-cheating/ I like his concluding suggestions, although the criticisms to the study aren't all that reassuring. Is 75g of net carbohydrates from an OGTT really all that unrealistic for a "cheat" mea...

You know, recently I heard Mercola essentially say carb days are recommended on a keto diet: https://blog.bulletproof.com/part-2-dr-joseph-mercola-588/ Chronic keto is not in your best interest, “Your body needs carbohydrates on a regular basis,” says Dr. Mercola. I've found a substantially high ca...

This was a great podcast on vitamin E with a focus on tocotrienols: https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/podcast/supplements-podcasts/vitamin-e-dangers/ Here is a recent remark of Jonathan Lizotte, Designs for Health Founder and Board Chairman: “The health benefits realized by annatto tocotrienol go bey...

Here's the stuff: https://www.greengiant.com/products/det ... als-beets/
It tastes pretty sweet -- better than zucchini, squash, or carrot noodles, imo. But, it turns everything red. 6g net carbs in a 1/4 bag serving, 12g in a more realistic serving.

Just a banana, oat bran, or sweet potato with a low GI load was enough to spike my BG. The effect disappears after a week or so of daily moderate (150g+ net carb) loading once your pancreas gets back in the habit of releasing insulin quickly, your liver is faster at shutting off GNG, and muscles ar...

A couple of things stand out for the study. One is that the subjects were adapted for one week, a short time to adapt. Two is that a 75 g dose of glucose by itself is a strong challenge to the body. Mixed meals probably have a much more muted effect. A lot of the "cool kids" in the low ca...
