Sorry @Sid I accidentally hit post before I was done. Please re-read my post as it changed.
Probably no. I would say a possible theory is that due to the fact that we keep eating carbohydrates like normal and we have a healthy supply of...
I wouldn't make such a blanket statement. Naviaux doesn't know for sure. His paper studied 45 subjects (n = 22 men and 23 women), that's a very,...
PWME do not have genetic mitochondrial diseases. No researcher, no doctor, no patient, no one knows exactly the cellular energy impairments we...
What you wrote in the first paragraph is basically my own experience and that of others. @Trish's theory that it could be SIBO is a valid one,...
Sorry I'm very busy today... just keep searching it's there. It isn't required but it is used to jump start and help you get into ketosis....
Here's a long-term study on the ketogenic diet in (mostly) adults with epilepsy. Mean diet time was 9 months, with five patients continuing for...

As I mentioned in earlier posts, keto sites have very different and conflicting recommendations on protein intake to stay in ketosis. I only gave...

I never eat butter, why do you have to drown meat in butter? I just eat meats with seasoning. It's so easy with this diet to get enough fats...
I never got any keto flu at all or felt like my body was finding it hard to adapt really. And after my recent crash, two weeks after I started...
One study doesn't mean it's settled science, very far from it. I would also avoid in general because it keeps your brain wanting sweet tastes,...
Ahem... in terms of evolving to such a diet 12,000 years is NOTHING. We haven't evolved to support modern diets, if you need more evidence just...
Intermittent fasting. I tried to give a summary of my transition and recommendations in my OP.
I think you are missing the point. Just because man didn't have almond milk, coconut cream and avocados doesn't mean that for millions of years...
I know it's really hard to decide what to do, given all the + and - anecdotal and scientific evidence. As I mentioned in my reply to @Nathalie...
The only kinds of desserts I've made are like @Trish mentioned, nice and simple with whole food ingredients. I would try to avoid any sugar...
I found @Sid's post on PR here...
