Just for the feedback, which is worth its weight in gold. Because answering the questions, sometimes are the very same questions that come up in the people I do help. I will warn you, I was on a roll and it is a BOOK! 😄 I put a man on the same protocol I've used the last several years successfully on countless type 2s, several obese pre-diabetics, and some people with autoimmune disorders(colitis, IBS, Crohn's, etc.) But I told him, he wasn't my ideal client certainly. He looks half his age, he's very Very lean, like veins popping out, biceps glaring, and in perfect athletic health, but he's far too intelligent and likes experiments so we thought this would be fun to try. 🙋‍♀️🤩 My greatest concern was... he has an extremely high-stress job and doesn't sleep at all sometimes. Stress can make ketosis very difficult to get into. And it wrecks the hormones. Hormones control your weight, your energy levels, and how much body fat you store. Calories do not. As human beings, aside from the spiritual aspect(we are eternal souls), but physically, you are basically just an emotional meat bag run by electricity and hormones and hundreds of trillions of bacteria controlling your neurons and telling you what to do all day. So we proposed, hey, try it, for a week, and come back and let's discuss it. Haha, but then he disappeared for a month and we didn't get to reassess. I've got to start duct taping these guys to a chair in the basement to keep better track of them or something, and just feed them butter myself. 🤣 Calm down, gentlemen... I joke! I answered his questions in semi-quoted, point-by-point fashion. Things in brackets [ ..... ] are what I referred to as semi-quoted and summed up by me. "Again, so lovely to hear back from you, _______I was wondering if you were okay or probably staying too busy to have any time to chat. Let me address each of your points in order. Point 1- [You're concerned having a high fat diet is bad.] There is no such thing as a bad, nutrient-dense, high-fat animal diet, BUT there are nuances(for example, if you Only wanted to eat cupfuls of tallow, and egg whites, and chicken breast for months on end, Yes, you would be missing a Lot of nutrients and eating a lot of fat and you would eventually end up feeling like crap. There are no long-term people eating successfully this way who abstain from ruminant meat-because it is the most bioavailable to humans) All plant fat is not ideal for humans. The plant version of saturated fats such as in coconut oil so closely mimics animal cholesterol that it down regulates the liver's production of our own cholesterol(being our most potent antioxidant, this is a terrible thing). But maybe you're thinking, why does that matter? It Matters. The less cholesterol your liver makes, the less gets into your tissues and cells and bones, the less is burned up for energy by the brain and our mitochondria, and the less is made to heal and make repairs to our body, and the less that gets used - which means the more of it drifts aimlessly around in our blood leading to what they call "high serum cholesterol levels". And there is no such a worry with high cholesterol in a ketogenic state in the complete absence of plant toxins. Interestingly, an extremely high-fat, high-calorie, short-term ketogenic diet actually Lowers cholesterol.

We discussed how we got here, problems with plants, the people I help and how, the results they get and why. Everything health and weight loss. I'll try to get that edited and out for you guys as soon as possible. @John M. Erickson We had an absolutely epic time together. The problem is, I can't wait until our next meeting.
