No sweet potatoes on keto? No thanks! Need em.

I don’t know much about keto, but that just sounds silly - why?

i grilled some sweet potatoes doused in olive oil on the grill on Friday - they were great … I cut em up like steak fries

Read the links. Keto is like super low carb and one serving of sweet potato already breaks the <20 net carb tolerance.

thoughts on the ketogenic diet?

Sisson’s book is on my to-read list. I’ve listened to a couple of his interviews, and I’ve liked what he has said.

I’ve been on a cyclical ketogenic diet for about 5 years, and I have no intention of ever going back to a standard american diet. After the first two weeks of keto flu (the fogginess that gringo bob mentioned) I never looked back.

can you point me to any good reference guides on how to implement this?

Reddit’s keto subs are the best resources I’ve found. By best, I mean accessible, easy to understand, and ability to easily dig deeper if you want.

Start here:

If you want to maximize performance in the gym, go here:

If you like books, try Gary Taubes’ Why We Get Fat And What To Do About It, Dave Asprey’s Bulletproof Diet, or even Tim Ferriss’ 4 Hour Body. There are a ton more books that may even be better, but those are the ones that I’ve read and liked.

As with all big transitions, it’s tough at first but then it becomes just a normal part of your lifestyle. Good luck!

thanks. i’ve been eating loosely primal (Mark Sisson) for a few years now so I’m not worried about a transition. i’ve been hearing a lot of good things about ketosis and am looking for a how-to, particularly in conjunction with the gainz i am about to receive. I’ll check out ketogains, thanks again.

Keto is a treatment for managing epilepsy. The original idea to treat the disease was fasting, and doctors noted high levels of ketone bodies in patients who fasted. This also happens when you follow a low carb, high fat diet (hence ketogenic ). So doctors have been using high fat, low carb, low protein diets, where a big portion of the fats are ideally MCTs to manage the disease, and it is effective. It’s far more restrictive than other low-carb diets, but with actual clinical reasoning for as to why. So no, you can’t even look at a sweet potato.

Then you have bros on the internet who think that paleo/primal/low carb is the optimal diet who abuse this.

The side effect ketoacidosis is bad breath. Don’t do it, bros!

AC come to the next Boston meetup. We’ll get a lift in and then head out with the crew, link up with BS.

I might be able to pull that in early August. I’ll possibly be in NYC and RI - just checked … RI is not that far from Boston Always wanted to meet BS. Despite some of our bickerings I think we would get along. I have only seen a few people on here. Saw Bchad at some L1 Stalla Peter Olinto class back in the day, but never met. Saw Dinesh at an L2 Stalla day class and went out with TheAliMan in NYC a few years back for some drinks. Also met one more person in NYC. I really should be studying during all this time, but hey, i’m finding great ways to procrastinate. Could be fun.

Make it happen man

I feel a person in the US has a pretty good idea of what is good and bad for them with some exceptions. I feel it is more of a motivational problem for them than actual nutritional coaching.

How have we developed these career paths in the US to take care of gluttony when people are dying of hunger? Some of these people eat their way to government disability funding. I feel like people just need to get off the damn couch. You can blame large food corporations or fast food but ultimately these people need to make a decision on their own. Anddd that’s where we disagree. She says they ‘can no longer’ make that decision on their own.

Perfect example of how people still have absolutely zero clue what is going on with the global metabolic syndrome epidemic.

You are wrong on everything, not even close to grasping the problem.

^ Naw, I tried explaining it in detail to Bchad, he’s the smartest here, and he couldn’t even get it. Nutrition is a field where people have so many false beliefs, they can’t possibly see the obvious. Dispelling one false belief is hard but possible, but a dozen false beliefs is hopeless.
