I forgot to mention that there were (and still are) sexual side effects - more x-rated thoughts, dreams and activity. Hard to understand, given that, as a trans man, I take exogenous testosterone, and that hasn't changed.

Re: Two month N=1 experiment plus questions: 250 mg NMN + 50 mg pterostilbene

Given my propensity to generate high TG's despite following the protocol, this could be a good option for folks like me. I would also be interested in the brand of supplements. ETA: I see Dr. Mercola has it, married with Quercetin, 90 day supply is reasonable cost: https://products.mercola.com/quer...

Yes, exactly. This is why I did the labs. It was a complete surprise!

Re: Two month N=1 experiment plus questions: 250 mg NMN + 50 mg pterostilbene

Hi Dan! Nice to see you posting. Would you mind sharing the brand of both the NMM and pterostilbene? Have you experienced any changes in energy, mood, exercise ability, sleep quality or cognition with this combo? Help me understand something. You say that you're diagnosed with diabetes. What is tha...

Two month N=1 experiment plus questions: 250 mg NMN + 50 mg pterostilbene

Hi everyone, Background: I haven't posted anything here for a long, long time, but I wanted to share the results of my latest experiment in case it is helpful to anyone. By way of context, my diet has been lightly keto (17% protein, 69% fat, 14% carb) for the last 2 1/2 years. I keep sat fat under 7...

Re: Unkind labs with keto diet - where to go from here?

Have you gotten your fiber intake up? How many grams a day? It's 44 g/day now, up from 32 g/day just before that scary 2004 LDL-P NMR on July 12. This has been enough to totally end the sleep problems I was having, so hopefully it might be enough to reduce LDL-P. That 44 number includes my 10g of S...

Re: Unkind labs with keto diet - where to go from here?

I only reach 50 grams of fiber via food on days that I eat two meals. Aha, so that day was a 2 meal day; that makes it more doable! And I guess then, to hit 2100 cals with your macros, you would have to eat an additional 50g protein, 65g fat, and 17g carb from food without fiber. When you have 2 me...

Re: Unkind labs with keto diet - where to go from here?

Dan, keep in mind, what works for me; may not work for you. I suspect that I’m taller (5’9”) and weigh more (125 lbs.) You may have to scale my fiber intake to accommodate your slighter frame. I tend to switch it up a lot lately. One spread out meal a day is becoming my norm (4 days a week) with a ...

Re: Unkind labs with keto diet - where to go from here?

Phew! I had some really bad images of you cursing my name :oops:. Yes I do get around 50 g TOTAL of fiber- tons of non-starchy vegs, nuts, seeds. Avocados are a surprisingly good source. Evidence shows that it even lowers LDL-P. Sorry to keep bugging you, but can you tell me about how many fiber gr...

Re: Unkind labs with keto diet - where to go from here?

Kudos on figuring out the skipped thyroid = elevated LDL-P connection, Dan. Make sense as upregulated thyroid activity promotes improved LDL-R activity. My guess is that the SunFiber will also result in improved lipids. One way that it works is by absorbing liquids (including fats) in the gut and i...
