Yeah, I know it's not pronounced like that 😁
I fully expect a grand total of none of you watch this video, but got to say I found it fascinating and hugely thought provoking:

Dave Mac is a bit of a climbing ledge, and someone has studied nutrition for many years. Anyway, it's given me a much needed nudge to stop being lazy with my diet and properly commit to a ketogenic way of eating again. I did it solidly for 5 years, but have drifted to a low carb diet for the last 2. It's health benefits for me have been pretty remarkable, and would like to get back to that state!
Wasn't sure if I was going to post this photo, but seeing as I've got something to prattle about I will 😁 During my week at Glenmore, I was reminded of why a standard Western diet and me just don't mix!

I am glad I'm still alive after 6 weeks ketogenic diet without any conscious disturbance. :-) Have a nice weekend my friends.
I have to say so sorry to all my friends here for catching up with your masterpieces so slowly because not only were I busy in coping with my patients but also have been studying several books about ketogenic diet and have been on a ketogenic diet myself since 3 weeks ago.
Being a doctor, I can't tell you ketogenic diet good or bad because it is against the nutrition rules of all over the world. But I feel not bad after I just ate protein, oil and fat with just very very little carbohydrates and doing intermittent fasting.
Have a nice weekend my dear friends!
My reply was, that 'I catch him when he falls, comfort him when he cries, and pray for him while he sleeps ...'
The question was intended to ensure I have an escape from my focus of care for our son. His new neurologist did listen to me. I told her about how he has deteriorated, she looked with interest at the seizure diary that I maintain and she offered some clear understanding about how a particular type of seizure is causing certain characteristics affecting him.
She looked back at EEG's and MRI's and the dozen or more anti-epileptic drugs he has tried over the years.
In conclusion she told me that, there was nothing more that can be done, other than trying to mix up the medication again and hope some combination brings him some easing to his torment. She did however say that it is clear our son is drug resistant.
I asked about Ketogenic Diets, I asked about CBD treatment, I asked about Vagus Nerve Stimulation therapy. "No", "No", "Only around 25% of the people treated by this clinic see partial improvement which is not high. In our son's case, this is an option to try, but not recommended"
"Carry on as you are doing" is in truth, all I expected, and, all I received. "There is no more we can do" still ringing in my ears.
As I manoeuvred his wheelchair to leave, a tonic-clonic seizure gripped him and contorted his body so much, it was as rigid as the chair itself until he began to relax and come out of it. The clinic door shut firmly behind us as I was trying to comfort him.
"Come on son" I whispered into his ear. "lets get you home. We will deal with this together, and with the support and encouragement of a number of virtual friends who also care"
I sense that today is the first day of something different, what that something is, only time will tell.
Guess what. You're looking at only 4g of carbs in this photo. Considering my goal in achieving a ketogenic state, I've been looking for ways to increase my fat-intake and to lower the carb-intake. Almond flour is a major component to creatively output these ideas. This morning I was able to enjoy something bread-like. It's been so long since I've enjoyed something like this. It only took 5 minutes to prep this. I did use a mug and a high-powered microwave to heat the batter. Within two minutes, I was eating one of the most heavenly creations made for someone lastingly deprived of carbohydrates.

The Faeth site just went live, and the scientific founders' groundbreaking work was just featured in Science:
"Special diets might boost the power of drugs to vanquish cancers
"Scientists including Vousden, who cofounded a company with Cantley to test diet-drug combinations in cancer trials, are unraveling the molecular pathways by which slashing calories or removing a dietary component can bolster the effects of drugs. In mice with cancer, “the effects are oftentimes on the same order of magnitude as those from the drugs that we give patients. That’s a powerful thing to think about"
In one trial, participants will shop for and prepare meals according to instructions. In the other, the company Faeth Therapeutics that Cantley co-founded will ship meals to patients to help them stay on track.
If those trials show the ketogenic diet helps curb tumor growth for a year or two longer than the PI3K inhibitor otherwise would, the diet “could become the standard of care,” Cantley says. “That will be what physicians will tell patients to do.”
A ketogenic diet may enhance other cancer treatments, too. Immunologist Laurence Zitvogel of the Gustave Roussy Institute in France recently studied mice with skin, kidney, or lung cancers receiving a drug known as a checkpoint inhibitor that helps the immune system’s T cells kill tumors. In animals on a ketogenic diet, the ketone bodies they produced boosted the T cells’ power, her team reported in January. Rabinowitz and collaborators have begun enrollment for a 40-person trial to see whether the diet can enhance the impact on pancreatic cancer of a chemotherapy cocktail.
OTHER RESEARCHERS ARE exploring an even more precise dietary limitation: cutting out specific amino acids, best known as the building blocks of proteins but also key to many other metabolic processes. Vousden unexpectedly veered into that line of research while studying a cancer-preventing gene called p53. The protein it encodes can trigger cells that have DNA damage to self-destruct, stopping them from turning cancerous. The gene is mutated in many tumors, allowing unrestrained growth.
But in 2005, a U.S. lab reported a surprising finding: The intact p53 protein helps healthy cells survive when glucose is scarce, suggesting p53-mutated cancer cells are especially vulnerable to glucose limitation. Vousden wondered whether the protein also helps cells survive a shortage of other, less explored nutrients, such as amino acids—and whether the mutated p53 in cancer would make the cells less resilient.
To find out, her postdoc Oliver Maddocks [and Faeth Head of Research] methodically removed various amino acids from cancer cells’ culture medium. Many types of cancer cells grew more slowly when deprived of two related amino acids, serine and glycine, and deleting p53 ramped up that effect. The scientists then tested the effects of a serine- and glycine-free diet in mice. Maddocks and Vousden reported in 2013 and 2017 that the special diet slowed cancer growth and extended the lives of mice implanted with colon cancer cells lacking p53 as well as in mice engineered to develop lymphoma or colon tumors. Cells need serine or glycine to make a compound that sops up DNA-damaging free radicals, and the deprivation made tumor cells more sensitive to that oxidative stress. Radiation and some chemotherapies kill cells by generating free radicals, so the results suggested the diet could prime tumors for those treatments.
Similar findings have emerged for other amino acids. Limiting the essential amino acid methionine appears to amplify the effects of radiation and chemotherapy in mice with colon cancer and sarcomas. And removing asparagine, an amino acid abundant in asparagus, from mouse diets curbed the spread of metastatic breast cancer, suggesting the diet could enhance drug treatments.
As with serine, depriving mice of one of those amino acids apparently disrupts metabolic cycles by which cancer cells respond to oxidative stress, synthesize DNA, and turn genes off and on.
The company Vousden and Cantley founded, Faeth (Welsh for nutrition), is gearing up to test amino acid–depleted diets in two clinical trials this year. Faeth, also cofounded by Maddocks, will combine chemotherapy with a shake lacking specific amino acids, delivered to participants’ homes alongside other meal components, such as salads. The researchers got support from private investors after failing to win research grants for their idea, says Maddocks, now at the University of Glasgow. “It’s quite out of the box.”
Maddocks expects the cancer-diet field will take years to move from “piecemeal forays” to a clear understanding of each diet’s pros and cons. Establishing that a specific diet works well enough to become part of routine clinical care also will take time. But Zitvogel says fighting cancer with diet is no longer a fringe idea. The field is at the start of “a new era where people will really take diet seriously into account,” she says. “The time is ripe.”
"Similar to a ribeye steak, but at a more economical price. Richly marbled and flavorful."
Meat is a nutrient-dense food, part of a heatlhy diet, and contributes to overall metabolic health, especially compared to ultra-processed foods typically consumed in the Standard American Diet (SAD).
Savor the rich flavors of a keto hamburger casserole, piersey.com/keto-hamburger-casserole/ featuring ground beef, gooey cheese, and a medley of spices. This low-carb recipe is ideal for family dinners or meal prep, ensuring you stay satisfied and within your carb limits.
Red meat is a part of a healthy diet.
A recent JACC state-of-the-art review concluded that saturated fat consumed in unprocessed meat is not associated with CVD or diabetes, the end.
Myth: Meat is an environmental disaster
Reality: Diabetes and heart disease are enivornmental armaggedons
To combat climate change, we need to reduce or eliminate fossil fuel use and source our food ethically and sustainably. Healthy people and healthy planet, not one or the other.

“A year from now you will wish you had started today.” -Karen Lamb
Is today…one day or Day One? I vote Day One!
I decided to use March 1 as the Day One of change: more fitness, more sunshine, more growth. With only a few months until my birthday and a few weeks until I start my new job, I need to stop making excuses and be that girl I want to be.
What a difference a day can make! After a good walk/jog with my furry best friend, my dog is even happier for the change.
My fitness goal is to transform my body by adding muscle and losing 10 pounds of fat. I want to have better endurance and be a healthier version of me before I turn 42. I will do this by having daily exercise, eating according to a ketogenic diet (along with intermittent/extended fasting), and by getting good restorative sleep every night. I also plan to post more frequently as a way of making myself accountable.
Day one: I feel great!
Slightly more complicated #ketogenic breakfast. Super low carb (6g?). Bacon, hard boiled egg, 1/2 avocado, mushrooms sautéed in bacon grease with sherry and kimchi. #paleo #keto #ketosis #lowcarb #slowcarb
