The Nutrition Science thread
Lots of discussion in the shit that annoys you thread about keto diet, nutrition science, exercise science thread. Dantheman suggested we move it to the Paleo thread, but I thought a more generalized thread might be better.
Day 2 of keto diet. Feeling tired and a little out of it, which is supposedly normal. I definitely ate a fair amount of carbs, so this has to be a shock to my system. They were (mostly) good carbs, whole grains and fruits and the like, but still.

I hate explaining jokes, especially bad ones but she ate a lot of “protein” for awhile there. No personal dig on you whatsoever.

Are you following a specific plan or method? If not, you should be. You need to be supplementing salt and magnesium at a minimum, and I think you’ll have better success eating closer to 75-80% fat, especially early on. You can also kick start things with coconut and/or MCT oil. If you’re serious about Keto for a longer haul, look at getting a blood ketone monitor. The pee strips aren’t particularly reliable. You’re also probably gonna want to start considering some source of prebiotic like resistant starch.
I followed one of Volek’s books, I think the one for athletes. Peter Attia and Ben Greenfield are pretty good resources. I ultimately dropped out once I ramped my activity way up. But, Keto was a good kick start and mental adjustment. You can be extremely metabolically efficient and still eat (somewhat limited) carbs.
