carbing up helps you grow.  It's just easier to eat carbs than to eat protein, hence all the fatties we see around us.  I could just eat a double serving of meat, but overeating meat is hard when you're in ketosis. 

I've noticed that when I try to carb up I end up being in a diabetic state.  Not just blood glucose numbers but actual symptoms like blood pressure and water retention, all from a slice of pizza or so.  I've seen my blood glucose as high as 120 post exercise after a carb up.  If I continue eating carbs it seems my body relearns to regulate it better and the diabetes goes away.  I wanted to try a cyclical ketogenic diet, but it's just too painful for me.  It's either I stay in a fat burning state or a carb burning state, constantly changing states sucks. 

I definitely think it is more than just having thick blood.  I remember in the hospital I had to keep eating chocolate to keep my heart rate controlled.  That's what lead me to believe that something in the chocolate was anti-adrenergic.  That's why I started drinking cocoa.  2 months later my cardiovascular system is back to normal. 

Take it or leave it. 

Sounds like the beginning of rabbit starvation.  This is not normal.  Ketogenesis just means ketones in blood or urine, it shouldn't make you have a strong/fast heartbeat.  Your problem is a imbalance.  Go eat some chocolate and/or nuts, that will fill you up with magnesium and the theobromine will help calm down your anxiety. 

This is what I'm talking about people, can't eat muscle meat forever.  Get your liver and kidneys in your diet.  Stop eating like civlilized people and eat like humans are suppose to.  Good luck. 

Dieting is only miserable if you don't have enough protein or fat.  Most weight loss diets are high carbs, which messes with hunger.  I can skip days without eating easily doing low carb. 

300 grams is not a lot.  I don't see how you would grow with 150 grams without eating carbs.  If you eat carbs, it's protein sparing and all of the protein can go to building structures.  If you're low carbing, most of that protein will be used for energy.  The body doesn't store carbs for long term.  It has to store protein and fat for the long term.  No protein, no glucose, no immunity, etc.  That's why being muscular is better for long term health.  You don't live too long emaciated without muscles, look at all those starving skinnies in Africa.  In order to store protein, you have to eat it in excess.  Why do you think women respond to muscular men?  They're suppose to, just like men respond to a woman's chest.  It's all instinct.  If you're only eating 150 grams, you'll maintain, but won't grow.  Fat does not turn into muscle, protein does.  There's no nitrogen in fat.  You don't have to eat 300 everyday, but you do at some point if you want to increase your protein stores aka muscles.  How do you expect to grow without eating protein?  That's like 95% of the people in the gym, believing that working out makes your muscles bigger.  365 days a year and still look the same.  Those muscles need molecules from somewhere, it just doesn't come from outer space or another dimension.  Or the other way around, cardio all year round and still look fat and sloppy.  Women always compliment me on how great my skin is, I tell them I eat a lot of meat and fat, and they'll just say it's my genetics.  It just blows my mind how people don't think diet makes any difference.  We're all here because we understand diet does make a difference. 

I know protein slowly converts to sugar, that's why you should let your liver handle the glucose making instead of eating carbs.  To say that excess protein turns into fat, I personally went thru it, I did not gain fat, I gained muscles.  If you can't gain muscles eating that amount of protein, somewhere along the metabolic process, you're missing some vital nutrient or you are already at a genetic setpoint.  Go on any steroid forums, those guys are downing protein levels into the 500g.  If protein were a waste to eat, these muscle heads would not put much emphasis in it.  This should be common knowledge.  You really think ancient samurais and knights trained hard and didn't eat a lot of meat(protein).  The nobles understood this so well that they made laws that forbade the common person to eat meat, so they can have it all for themselves or their armies.  They understood that not allowing the peasants to eat meat would keep them weak and subservient, and besides it's a lot of work back then to raise animals.  Can't go passing around the good stuff to the "common man". 

Of course you don't want to eat liver all the time.  That's just like eating lean meat all the time.  You shouldn't eat anything all the time, but you have to eat it sometimes.  That just goes back to making sure your diet is balanced. 

Itching has been around before antibiotics, I think it's herpes or possibly scabies.  Just kidding.  Do you develop rashes or dry skin?  I know when I eat grains/carbs my skin itches more and I develop more acne and dandruff. 

Rabbit starvation is a combination of problems.  It is not just not getting enough calories.  I think I figured it out most of it though. 

One of the major problems with eating lean meat is taking in too much zinc.  Too much zinc will throw your thyroid off, putting you into hyperthyroidism.  That's why people end up having heart problems.  I had crazy heart problems and couldn't sleep.  I should've known better, I was heating up and not sleeping as much before I broke down. 

That was just one of the problems.  I also had issues with edema, indicating something was wrong with my fluids in/outside my cells.  I had increased intracranial pressure for the first month after getting sick.  It's been two months after and I'm feeling much better, but I still have a long ways to go to repair my body.  I know I damaged my cardiovascular system somewhat.  My kidneys failed and I had to take tons of vitamin D to get them working again.  Bones were hurting more, which I think is osteomalacia.  I think that had to do with my kidneys and the unregulated levels of parathyroid hormones from insufficient vitamin D causing the release of calcium. 

The point is rabbit starvation is not just hunger from not getting enough calories.  It is a metabolic syndrome caused by malnutrition.  Eating a monodiet of anything will cause a toxicity of whatever composition you're eating.  Any vitamin or mineral can become a toxin if you have too much of it.  Any lack of will cause a deficiency.  That's all I can come up with.  Good thing I know the truth of the body being able to heal from damage by good nutrition, otherwise I would've killed myself long ago.  This is not something you want to go thru folks.  I can't believe I went thru this twice. 

Frequency is all based on how much you eat.  If I eat little I'll go less.  When I fast, I don't go at all.  Go figure.  Right now I'm eating 4-5lbs. of food/day.  I go at LEAST once a day. 

Since we're on the subject of BM, as you know my blood pressure is still somewhat high from my little experiment from last month.  I got constipated the other day and my blood pressure was so high that it was a struggle to push.  Instead of getting a stroke or an aneurysm or working on a big ass hemorrhoid, I just helped my anus out with my finger.  First time in my life I tried that, it was a such a relief from pushing.  It took about a day to get rid of the smell on my finger though. 

The dude in the video looks malnourished and I for one would not take any nutrition advice from him.  I don't see how people think they're going to get all their nutrients from fruits.  It's only a little better than candy. 

This dude is an idiot.  He looks like he weighs 125lbs.  Can't take serious nutrtition advice from a guy like that.  Especially brownies.  Eat brownies and look like that guy. 

Urine is suppose to be yellow.  It has urea in it.  The more breakdown of amino acids the more urea.  Go work out hard or fast and watch how brown/orange it can actually get.  If you eat a lot of protein and your urine is clear that means you're retaining more amino acids, which is a good thing.  You shouldn't have amino acids in your urine, something is wrong with your kidneys if there are. 

I think the big thing is fat.  Every animal eats fats.  Herbivores just make it in their guts before it get absorbed into their system.  The only way humans can generate fat is eating excessive carboyhydrates and that happens in our bloodstream, not our guts.  Herbivores can get all their fat solubles by letting things ferment and generating fat to absorb it.  Humans need to eat fat, there is no way around it.  The only useful fementing we do is for farting.  I don't think Al Gore likes that, he's pissed off at cattle farts.  Nonfat eaters are the ones with the most digestive issues, go figure.
