    Quitting ALL grain carbohydrates improved my consciousness significantly. When my diet was mostly fat/oil, I felt like I was stoned and I gained a little weight, though. I decreased my fat and increased NON-GRAIN carbs. like vegetable and dairy products. I feel and think better than I did when I ate grains. Now all is well!

    Others take different roads. I still eat between 30-50g per day fueling primarily on Fat, and most of my carbs come in the form of veggies and some fruit. During the Induction flu (first week or so), like I said my thinking was off, but I was also jonesing or craving carbs like a junkie needing his fix. After the period of acclimation, my thinking has been right on.  In my field, I couldn’t handle a period of being off mentally for long.

    That’s interesting. I still do a lot of fats, just not 3 parts fat to 1 part protein combined with carbs, like I did. I’m keeping a record.  Yesterday I had 124 gm of fat, 77 grams of protein, and 11.9 grams of carbs. That’s a ratio of 1.73 parts fat to 1 part protein combined with carbs. I’m feeling very good like this. No craving for carbs. Love the protein. Isn’t the effect of food amazing?

    I don’t think you are too far off or at all…My fat grams are roughly the same as yours. In fact I have your percentage of Calories from Fat at 75%. Generally mine are in between 55-70% of my Calories are from fat, so three to one fat to protein would be extremely low protein. That’s one of the reasons the Fat fast is only for a very few highly metabolically resistent people.

    Just as common guideline I am generally 1-1 with Fat and Protein grams, and since there are 2.25x the Calories in one gram of Fat, protein works out roughly as half the daily Calories as fat.

    Interesting. My calories are around 1,900 lately.

    Some of things I have observed while following a high fat/low carb diet: The higher the ketosis (within reason, I am non diabetic so dka is not a problem)=the better I feel, less hunger, better sense of well being, more energy, less cravings, to name a few. I have heard people say that if they are in ketosis, the level does not matter, that is definitely NOT the case for me. The ketogenic diet for me is hard at first, it takes me about 3 weeks just to feel normal. I also limit water & protein.

    You DON’T have to take Potassium supplements for God’s sake. Natural foods like Potataoes and Bananas have all the Potassium you could ever want. Consuming these foods will get you lean and keep you there. Oh wait,….that’s right, you let this goofball talk you into Low Carb eating. You’d better look into supplements of all kinds then as this diet is short on LOT’S of em’. Then when you’re done with all that supplementing, you’d better invest in tic-tacs cause your breath will be THE WORST!

    There’s more potassium in beef than there is in a banana. I would suggest you actually research the topic before letting everyone know what a fool you are. “Potataoes and Bananas”The exact same foods the guy you quoted recommended staying away from. Talk about the low carb angst — still feeling insecure about your body type I see…

    Was not aware of the potassium (although electrolyte imbalances can certainly be impactful), so thanks for forwarding on the info.
