Hot Topics / Re: Does ketosis accelerate AGEing?
« on: June 16, 2012, 06:23:15 pm »So new guy. You Know nothing of my experiment? You also seem a little pessimistic about my outlook?
I am of Native American and Northern European decent, and I am fairly sure that my ancestors survived on meat rich diets throughout their evolution. If you know anything about genetics then you should know that genes have the ability to revert back to previous structures depending on the environmental conditions. There is a Genetic memory that may allow someone such as myself to convert ones metabolism back to the fat burning keto-adaptive mode that help my ancestors survive the ice ages.
To answer your other questions.
To be accurate I am not sure if I am really in ketosis. All I know is that I have been subsisting off of around thirty carbs a day, with about 60 percent of total calories coming from fat, 35 percent from protein, and about 5 percent carbs.
I may be an anomaly, I had some metabolic issues before starting this diet. My liver was damaged and would produce too much glucose, causing my blood sugar to spike even when I ate no carbs. Now that I eat copious amounts of raw fat and animal flesh my blood sugars as well as my whole metabolic profile is within normal range. I am also physically stronger and feel better than I ever remember feeling. I am not making this up, I am in excellent shape and do not have any signs of negative health effects that some people experience on low carb diets.
My Diet consist of mostly Whole lamb(marrow, brains, other organs, blood,etc,) supplemented with extra stomach lining fat, a fair amount of coconut butter, some lemon water, high meat, and eggs.
This diet is working well for me and I see no reason to change it.
My statement was more of a challenge put forth against the claim that low carb Raw Paleo Dieting can not be sustainably healthy or that it somehow accelerates ageing.
I agree that Low carb may not work for most, {especially considering that most are not willing or able to take it to the extreme necessary to promote total adaption} , but that does not mean that there are not any mutants out there that are exceptions to the rule.
Hails,
I'm quite the expert on all things genetic, and there is no such thing as genetic memory.There's epi-genetics and canalisation and introns and exons and all the rest...more than enough mystery in there without deluding yourself.
I also eat a high fat diet, although I prefer to get my lipid fuels from nuts and avocadoes and dairy etc.I eat the raw meat for minerals and iron etc.
You seem like a smart person, so I will be following you and your health.You are consuming too much protein though, and this is where you ketosis is coming from.
Proteins are not supposed to be oxidised/burned for fuel.They are structural elements.
Much respect for the coconut butter, but what the heck is stomach lining fat ?
