I started having a new drink in the morning based off the trend of bulletproof coffee.

I start with yerba mate, which is basically a strong coffee-like tea that has a tropical chocolate flavor.

I mix the tea in a blender with coconut oil + erythritol and it keeps me full (not hungry at all) and caffeinated the whole day. And it tastes great.



Definitely. Without glycogen reserved in muscles and your liver you lose your burst energy.

But, you also build up ketone-digesting ketones over time, and the loss of energy gets better over time as a result. Once I cheated on my diet with carbs and ran a half marathon a day later. It was not only easy, it was laughably easy. The austerity my body went through for 2 months gave it burst and endurance strength for the run.

I've also heard that stacking up on electrolytes solves this problem.



I've never heard of exogenous ketones. I'll have to look them up.

The go-to company on this is Pruvit. We sell their ketones at my (personal training & life coaching) business and we constantly need to re-stock them. It's way easier than dietary ketosis but perhaps the best part is that you get a noticeable energy increase from taking ketones. The biggest drawback is the price. I haven't heard customers complain about the price but most of the keto-consumers have expendable income (partly b/c that's our intended audience).

e: I should mention that there are a few companies selling ketones. I only recommend Pruvit, but it's worth looking around to see what works best for you if you're interested.

125 lbs? lol.

Yep. I'm microscopic.

I always knew you were a small man but didn't know you were the same size as a small boy.

On topic I've been on Paleo with a lot of Ketogenic influences for a few months. Down 15 or so lbs with minimal traditional exercise other than outdoor work.

upup

By far the best meal & snack food on this diet is avocados. They have 300 calories, are pure fat/fiber, and they have a bunch of useful nutrients.

My typical day atm is bulletproof coffee/tea for breakfast, and avocado and coffee for lunch, and a light dinner with protein and fatty stir fried vegetables.

I could see myself maintaining this diet forever now that I have a circle of recipes.

The only downside to avocados are that they're $2.50 each.



Congrats! Paleo and keto are super-simiar

I have kale and raspberries giving out INSANE amounts right now. So i've been starting off the day with a hard boiled egg which i chase with a raspberry/kale smoothie.

so much energy, but the shits are borderline weaponized.

so much energy yet not enough for you to finish that college degree

have a a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. I went to law school for 2 years, then left because i was offered a position at the company i was working part time for. They then paid for me to get a certification in mechanical drafting and are paying currently for my 2 year degree in project management.
