Mm, i don't take well to criticism. Not because i'm pretentious, but easily offended. Putting that aside, i think you're right--if i took "solemnly" out it'd be a fine sentence.

I do thank you for taking the time to concern yourself with my writing-- at least i know someone read it.

Guff, next time you fast try being in a state of Ketosis before you do so. So much easier.

Sadly, the foods we eat at night are usually so carb rich (lots of bread and rice!) that I don't think I could pull that off... When I was doin vertical jump training, I was eating basically only eggs and chicken, and the ketone levels were probably pretty high then! Sadly now, it's tough to not eat all the tasty carbs that my mom makes...

I don't think I have ever lost weight during Ramadan, which is sad because with the right diet, it's not that difficult. Unfortunately, my moms cooking is impossible to refuse...

I've been doing the paleo thing for 6 months now. Won't ever go back. If I combine the nutritional quality of paleo with ketosis I get a little scared at how fast I lose body fat... like 1/2lb a day. I noticed that when I'm more in a ketogenic state, going without food for long periods is signficantly easier. In fact sometimes I would forget to eat.

Are you eating raw fish and vegetables mostly? I've heard of the caveman diet, but I don't know anybody who has done it...

It's more than solemnly. Fizzling AND perspiring? Figure out a better way to incorporate them or get rid of one. We know soda fizzles, you don't need to tell us that. You want to get artsy? Talk about a bead of water running down the glass as it's perspiring.

You need to learn to take criticism if you ever want to get published. Take a creative writing course at your local college; I was glad I took one when I was in school. The professor was pretty damn cool and I learned plenty.

Just becareful with that. You're body needs carbs to break protein down completely. You'll end up with protein passing your kidney filters eventually; proteinuria is no joke.

I used to do heavy Ketosis diets when I was cutting but now I keep it mild and find it works better. 120g carbs 170g-200g protein.


Not to mention carbs promote proper brain function, I've known body builders that can barely do arithmatic after heavy ketosis diets.

Went to Cars and Coffee today!! There was one FRS today, but it was from a dealer... Other than that, not much special and I didn't take too many pics either...

There was a Veilside widebody NSX though! And NOBODY knew what it was... People were guessing Ferrari or Maserati, it was hilarious...

I love when that happens.

I wan't advocating Ketosis as a lifestyle choice (unless you have epilepsy), just that being in Ketosis before a fast can make the fast easier to put up with and remove body fat. In fact, if you fast without being in a relative state of ketosis (relative just means your body is used to using ketones for fuel instead of glucose like 60/40, it doesn't mean carb free) then your body will attack your muscles in search of glucose. If your body is accustomed to using ketones for fuel then when you fast your body will attack your fat cells to pull the ketones out of them for energy, that is mostly why fasting when you're in a state of ketosis is easier. Also, why would I want my body going after my muscles in a period hunger vs. my fat reserves? (rhetorical).

I assume your research and experiences doing this may validate this?

Considering the brain is completely composed of fatty tissue I find that strange that the body builder couldn't do arithmetic. There may have been something else going on. When I'm more keto (I'm never 100%) I feel smarter and more aware. The anthropological argument is that we evolved over 2.5 millions years using ketones as a primary fuel source, not glucose, however we always had some degree of low glycemic carb (nut/berry/veggie) which validates your statement.

No question about the carbs though. We absolutely need them and I try to adhere to the 33/33/33 rule. Omega3 fat / Omega 3 protein (wild, grass fed, free range) / low glycemic carbs.

And Guff, I don't eat raw meat other than sushi. The paleo/caveman/hunter-gatherer diet isn't about eating like they did, it's about replicating the nutritional intake quality which the human body evolved on up until the Neolithic ere (farming, agriculture, wheat, etc).

Anyway, I want to make this into a "how should people eat" thread so I'll just shut up. If you're interested more in Paleo, Google Dr. Loren Cordain or Robb Wolf.
