    Age 82, and I recently opted for 35g. of protein within an hour of getting up. After a week of trying to get 100 g. Protein every day, my weight is the same, but my waist and hips dropped an inch each. This made my lean mass four pounds greater on the BMI calculator. More muscle…At this age, keeping muscle is a high priority. Dr. Lyman interview convinced me to be consistent with protein intake, especially in the a.m. No more fasting at this age. I cannot afford to lose muscle.

      @oliphauntsneverlie6227 it gets much easier over time. Ive been fat adapted for over 8 years and never feel hunger because my body knows how to get energy through fat either from dietary or from body. I lost 202 lbs and have kept it off for 11 years. Having a broken metabolism takes time to heal. Slowly increase your IF so you can get away with easy OMAD. Don't do dirty keto and check your ketones with a keto mojo kit. You will know when you are in ketosis without a doubt. Then hunger will be gone and your metabolism will start to heal. It takes some time but your body is smart.

    The refined approach is wonderful if you don’t suffer from a binge eating disorder. Any kind of refined carbs and sugar will set me off, even fruits. I’ve literally eaten 5 full-size grapefruits in one sitting. Once my brain gets hijacked, dopamine receptors become overloaded, and leptin levels become blocked, I become a passenger in my own body while my brain is the driver. Keto has literally saved my life.

    Great minds think alike!😄 I came to mostly the same conclusions that you've mentioned above, especially about the balance of saturated fats to protein. I would occasionally get diarrhea or symptoms of GERD when I would overdo my Sat. Fat content. Also, being a Senior, I've heard from a variety of sources that the older you get, the more protein you should consume. That's why I consider myself more Ketovore than straight Keto now, though I do retain veggies like Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts, Artichoke Hearts, Broccoli, Avocado and Asparagus, to get in more potassium (I'm not a big 'salad' person). Lastly, I too have realized I should "march to the beat of my own drum", and that it's OK to occasionally 'ditch' the Keto. As a matter of fact, I learned recently that even on non-fasting, non-Keto, "Carb Pig-Out" Days, mostly around holidays, that If I limit the carbs to just one or two days, I can get right back onto Keto/Ketovore without as much lingering 'cravings' as would happen previously when I would 'fall off the wagon." Thanks for giving us 'Keto-Freaks' permission to do it our own way and trying out different things to personalize our own journeys.

    I think, unless a person is tracking - or at least, has tracked for a period of time to get a real grasp on the nutrients they're getting from food, they should take a multivitamin. I have been tracking basically every morsel that goes into my mouth with Cronometer (I LOVE DOING IT - it's not a chore for me at all - more of a fun, rewarding challenge), and it's extremely difficult to hit all of the micronutrient targets - and I work at it. I take a multivitamin that calls for taking 4 capsules a day, but because I do know what I'm getting in food, I only need to take 1 instead - and then also add D3, Fish Oil, Magnesium, K2 & extra Potassium - and occasionally zinc. Getting enough potassium is really difficult - as is choline (I eat 1 egg a day, so come close, but usually I don't get to 100%).

    Quality protein from sources like fish, meat, eggs, skyr, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, whey, kefir and cheese is the foundation of my keto diet. I try to always get the full fat varieties of these foods. Walnuts have the best omega 6:3 ratio among nuts so I will eat those for satiety. I try to eat a big salad for lunch every day and sprinkle on some nutritional yeast. I agree with what you said about prioritizing potassium (I think the r/keto gatekeepers have it backwards regarding the ratio of sodium to potassium).

      Well, when in nature have we historically had 3.4g of potassium?
      Never, I would say, not even close, and throughout most of our history, we were often in starvation ketosis.
      I think a gram is fine with a similar level of elemental magnesium supplementation (and more salt).
      That's like double the amount of active potassium in these highly concentrated potassium citrate brands.
      I mean, even with low levels of insulin in the body, it's a lot!
      Your body will tell you if it's correct anyway, as you will be in a highly energised state, or not, during ketosis.

I personally have always done keto with a large amount of green vegetables such as spinach kale broccoli asparagus and those help a lot in getting minerals too. Personally I just find that the carbs from a romaine lettuce wrap just don't matter. Also I personally find that there are a lot of healthy keto products like House of Macadamia, Schoolyard Snacks, Other protein bars like ketokrisp, and the cereals from Catalina crunch or magic spoon. Also there's a lot of good keto breads out there these days too and lupini bean pasta even. Keto is so easy now so long as you can find a way to always have some of these items on hand. the problem is the healthiest of these are not available in stores but it is getting better. Theres even meal kits like factor that I have tried but I wish there was a video somewhere comparing some of these online only products in the keto world without talking about the mainstream ones so much that I already know are garbage. Like not everything on thrive market that is labeled keto is great for keto or necessarily the cleanest.

Now my A1C is 6.2. Argh! I think it might be that effect you mentioned which is that too much sat fat can increase insulin resistance. Do you have experience helping ppl improve their A1C in such situations? Would love to see a video on that from you.

    I was strict Keto for over 3 years and included Intermittent fasting as part of the ritual very early on, progressing to whole and multiple day fasts. (stupidest thing I’ve ever done).
    I lost a lot of lean tissue chasing the tiny, almost insignificant pockets of remaining fat when I was already close to 10% body fat.
    All the while following the cult leaders who are all now changing their tune.
    I credit Ted Naiman with his balanced approach and using the protein lever for bringing me back to sensible mindset.
    And ridiculously, as I have been slowly bringing back clean carbs, I still have to fight those inner voices I harbored that tell me that carbs are evil.
    Leaving a cult is never easy.

However, maybe a year ago I noticed a change in your appearance. You look so much healthier now. Thanks again for always trying to give us the best, with complete honesty 😊!

    at different stages of life our bodies need different things. sounds like you are transitioning from a high energy life in the 20/30's to a more stable muscle maintenance life in the 30/40's. body age has a lot to do with our diet and life maintenance. looking forward to your comments about late 50 to mid 60's

      I think bodyfat levels too play perhaps the most important role. A person at 10 percent bodyfat is very different from a person at 30 percent bodyfat. Guess I agree with the late Charles Poliquin. "Earn your carbs". Both in terms of actually being lean, and in terms of training.

    I think that for some people and their health situation, an elimination diet of keto, carnivore, or lion is necessary for improvement of conditions, but after a while clean carbs should brought back in moderation.

    I call it my health journey on purpose. I have a long way to go on exercise in particular a better diet.
    But for how “sloppy“ my journey has been I have still lost 100 pounds in a year. And that is in large part. Thanks to you. You rule, my brotha!

    Stopped eating keto a couple years ago. Worked great the 1st year but after going off and back on keto a year later noticed my BF would not come off like before and struggled with excessive muscle tension. Eating a low carb, moderate protein, low fat diet seems to balancing everything just fine today.
