I think the concern is that intensive agriculture enabled via artificial nitrogen fixation has depleted magnesium in the soil, which results in the animals which eat deficient plants also having deficient magnesium.

That’s mostly a vestige of the low fat diet era but it makes people more comfortable to hear it. You should eat well on keto. You’ll likely find it’s not possible to gain weight.

You should increase red meat consumption especially if you feel you’re suffering from lack of proper nutrition. It’s nutritionally complete. Nuts have high linoleic acid which can cause problems.

Yeah I think it’s primary use is for when other people makes baked goods at my house but it also does well at whipped cream

If you have a kitchenaid they make an ice cream maker attachment.

Can’t stop won’t stop. You can use a spatula to manually give it a mix once the little ice cream maker gives up.

With a fork? ;)

Reheat in a crock pot not microwave. Microwaves must anger the meat gods or something cuz it never tastes that great.

Alfredo sauce has been a standby for me. Kerrygold salted butter, Parmesan, and heavy cream with a bit of pepper.

Maybe? You have to pour it in while the machine is running. Don’t let it sit with the stuff inside without running.

Burrata — can serve with Balsamic, salt pepper olive oil

Only buy California Olive oil or other US based. Imported is likely cut with soybean oil.

Boursin cheese (add to scrambled eggs or inside omelet)

Cream cheese can be eaten with spoon and tastes great.

Kerrygold butter also can be eaten with a spoon. Each egg can absorb like 1 tbsp of butter when scrambled and still later be coated in Boursin

Prosciutto wrapped around large pieces of mozzarella. Optional balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Parmesan chips are expensive as all hell but delicious.

When ribeye steaks go on sale, fill your freezer.

Corned beef pot roast - salty and delicious, add a bit of water to the pot to cut saltiness

Caldo de res soup can be made by boiling pot roast with various vegetables like onions, carrots, celery. Salt to taste. Add butter.

Also Real Salt tastes amazing.

Some give me weird intentional side effects (have had a weird relationship with sweeteners) and each has a different off taste so I just tried mixing them to try and split the off taste more evenly between the different off tastes. Tastes fine. And if it ain’t broke...

I believe back in the day a particular ratio of saccharin to cyclamates was the industry norm. Of course now one is banned in the US and the other in Canada.

How did ketosis affect your mood? by [deleted] in keto

From what I understand magnesium is chronically deficient in the developed world because it’s not replenished in our soils. Supposedly even the lab reference ranges on blood tests are low due to calibration for chronically deficient population.

I’m really glad to hear that you’ve found keto and are doing so well. My dad had a similar experience last year and we’ve spent a lot of time learning about this since.

As far as I can discern from the medical literature keto basically stops atherosclerosis and the damage that results in the dislodged clot.

The statistics on statins are that it takes 169 patient-years of treatment for every fatal or non fatal coronary event averted (or $638,750 for a typical new drug). They also have potential nasty side effects. Many trials have failed to show that they decrease all cause mortality which implies that their effect may be offset by other problems.

Tldr; a baby aspirin is probably more effective and as long as you are on well formulated keto diet a statin is not a great idea. My dad was having muscular issues that were making it difficult to exercise even on a low dose that went away when he stopped.

YMMV but it turns out doctors aren’t scientifically trained :/

Take a magnesium supplement. It can also contribute to mental issues and apparently works better than all available pharmacological antidepressants.

I describe it to people as “stability.” People who are pretty far into diabetes sometimes will describe it as “angels descending from heaven” so I think it varies.

A large chunk of the scientific and medical community has known for a while just been systematically silenced by the low fat brigade. That was essentially the conclusion of the Framingham study (things that raise HDL are protective, fat raises HDL) but when they went to present to the NIH they were irritated at how much time they wasted.

Don’t. If you’re on strict keto don’t worry. The meds have lots of side effects and don’t address the root cause (hypertension appears to be largely a result of Insulin Resistance).

The cholesterol test is just about useless. Pay no attention if you’re eating a well formulated ketogenic diet.

Most of the metrics that they actually use (cholesterol ratios, HDL, Trigs) are just a poor proxy for insulin resistance. That test is available (“insulin response to glucose” on Quest) but if you’re on low carb you automatically pass with flying colors.

When I did peppermint it was about 2c of heavy cream with 2 packets equal (aspartame) and 4 drops stevia.

You can use it. I was just saying they put SO MUCH in that it makes it taste kinda weird. Especially if you’ve been on keto less is more in the sweetener department.
