Carburetor

Italian zero-carb, high fat spicy "Toscana" sausages. I guess I'm more "dirty keto" because of all the sausages I eat. But I could not keep my fat intake high enough by eating our very lean finnish meats. It leads to protein overdose and low fat. Or ground beef and bacon only. My breakfast is bacon and eggs, almost every day. Still tastes delicious. Salsicha pepperoncini, sauerkraut:

Herring for lunch. A good fatty fish. My coffee is "Bulletproof",too. Me being a "High Fat Low Carb Ketovore", I take fat add-ons like coconut oil quite often. My fat intake energy % is above 75. Carbs max 10 g. At least 25 kg (50 lbs) body fat has gone since October. Blood ketones 1,5-2,5, feeling great. My arteries must be healing themselves, I have a stent, my strength and overall condition have not been this good in eight years on statins. Which I quit last Christmas.

Not three pounds of beef here.... But a little beef-chilli-coconut stew. Lots of bacon fat and coconut oil. I eat some (msx 10g) carbs so there was a little bit of cabbage,onion and celery,too. Butter at every turn of course -and the stew was made in beef broth.

I got a bit bored with all that water,too. So I tried this non-sugar add-water juice a few months ago and I've been drinking it without problems ever since. It has sucralose and Acesulfame K... I know artificial, possibly bad stuff. But I blend it pretty mild, got no sweet cravings and my body fat is disappearing very well. Looks like these particular sweeteners are doing no harm for my keto. I also drink water and a couple of mugs of Bulletproof coffee every day. This is in Finland, I bet there are similar products everywhere. I have said "no" to all sweeteners since 2000, until now.

Weisswurst and sauerkraut.

This is good: Mix approx. equal amounts of cottage cheese and eggs (I put 300 g cheese and three eggs) , spread on paper and bake in medium oven for 15-20 minutes. Cut in slices. This stays good in the fridge for a long time,good with Bulletproof coffee. Just spread on some butter and whatever you fancy. Can be used as wraps for Tortillas,too.

Haha! It's not carb though,it's FI. I've had the speedo needle at 340 km/h, probably closer to 310 km/h in reality. A 2000 Kawasaki ZX -12R. Akrapovic full exhaust, 190 RWHP. Old & fast. I also have a 2001 version in green.

I had an attack eight years ago. Got a stent -what did they do to you? I was told I got the attack because of my low carb diet, not my 40 years history of cigarettes & beer... I had quit both cig and alc three years before I got the attack. Docs blamed the fat. I was skinny then. And I have been on and off low carb since early 2000 Atkins times. I know this game and I like this. But: Yes,an attack scares and confuses you. I got scared and went low fat & statins for a while, felt like 200 years old and gained 30 kilos. Docs just gave more meds, I got gout etc on the way. Last November I had enough, got back to ketovore,quit statins and most of my BP meds, lost 25 kg already... and I'm feeling GREAT! Much stronger than in eight years. I'm riding motorbikes. Gout seems to be gone now,too. I still have some blocked arteries but I refused to get an open heart bypass surgery to fix them. I'm running on 75+ % fat energy, 10 g daily carbs max. 62 years now. Good luck with whatever you choose. We alone are responsible -and in charge- for our own health and diet. I'm being preached about the dangers of fat all the time, how it makes you fat and sick...

Sugar diet,huh? Yeah,we humans used to eat whatever we had access to, whenever that was possible. No diet plans or choices. Just survival. We have completely different problems now,everything being available for us western,lucky folks at all times. I wonder how long all this luxury will last? We are using up all resources in such a manner that who knows when things are forced to change? Meanwhile I will enjoy very low carbs and high animal fat to stay in good condition.

Welcome on board! I check my blood ketones and glucose once a month, ketones are around 1,5-2,0 and glucose 4,8. Euro numbers. In February I had 3,0-4,0 ketone readings I've been on keto(vore)for six months now,I get max 10 g of carbs daily. I used to count macros for a while,now I just know I'm around 75-80% fat energy. If I go to strict carni I may get surprise toilet needs. Total carni also makes me lose hunger altogether, almost like losing appetite. Very little salad stuff seems to be enough to avoid toilet surprises and I enjoy food better,too. I have not been hungry in six months, I sometimes have to pay attention so that I'm eating enough. I did some fasts earlier but no more. Too little food is not good for me, even though fasting feels great. I have no reason to limit my calorie intake,rather the other way round is better in terms of weight loss and everthing. Most of meat available is lean here in Finland. Hard to keep fat % high with meat alone. I eat tuna in olive oil, feta, lots of fatty sausages. Bacon with eggs every day... Coffee is a mild toilet catalyst for me. But I have a mug or two every day, I add butter,coconut oil and cream. I did Atkins in early 2000's, then the name became Low Carb, now it's Keto(vore). I've been on and off during the years,mostly on but after heart problems (got an attack and a stent, also have a failure and cont. afib) the docs got me scared and I ate normally for a while. I gained 30 kilos and became very weak. I was suggested an open heart bypass surgery which I rejected. Now I'm off statins, cut 75 % off BP meds , lost 25 kg, can even run.... much stronger than in the last years. I can do things that make me sweat without my heart warning me now. All this progress has happened after I started keto(vore) six months ago. This is how much "salad" I had today. This small amount helps me have normal toilet practises. Oh,I have no gallbladder,that may or may not matter. I hope you can get this going in a nice and relaxed way. O

If you drive a car you have a basic understanding of traffic. Take a motorbike riding course and see how it feels. I have a professional teacher friend, sometimes people in their 60's start riding motorbikes. I still go to courses every now and then to sharpen up. Track practise days, slow riding, all kinds of practise. I had a bike break from 20 to 30 years. Then another break from 40 to 50. 62 now and my bike goes 200+ mph. I still prefer sportsbikes, I have had Harley and Guzzi cruisers, Honda enduros, 20+ bikes altogether, sometimes three different at once. I recommend motorbikes to everyone. Riding clears your mind in a way nothing else does. And it is very good exercise.

I do the same with my smartphone. Bacground turns sort of red at 6 PM, back to normal at 8 AM. I also put on a red light around 8 pm for a couple of hours in bedroom. And use bright light for an hour at daytime in our dark winter, summer is light almost 24/7 now so I'm using curtains at night now. I'd say that all this light yoga is helping me sleep full nights better than before. I have a history of working evenings and staying up all night for decades (musician) so sleeping full nights feels like luxury now. And no TV since last September.
