I have been on OMD low carb (50 gm) diet and my glucose levels are in the range of 87 to 94 while keto remain under 0.5 (sometime 0.3, 0.6 etc ) . During my 3 days water fast I checked my GIK. My sugar was same as above - 94 but my ketones reading went up to 3.4 and GIK evaluated was 1.17. Question : during my OMD , why my readings if ketones are under 0.5 ?? Because of Vitamen C and other supplements??? Please advice

Hi guys I am new here. And I wanted to know if you know someone who was diagnosed with neuroendocrine carcinoma and tried metabolic therapy? I wanted to know your experiences with that. Unfortunately my fater got diagnosed with it. He already made one chemotherapy and is currently doing his second one in combination with methadon. He is under palliative medicine. What kind of diet should he do during the chemotherapy? Kind regards and thank you all Emre

Any thoughts on what the max calories per day and max protein per day should be if we are achieving a gki of 2 or less? Also how to accurately measure what ones basal metabolic rate (outside of calories logged on a Garmin or similar) Some books I've read discuss quite low protein when it comes to fighting cancer - 0.5 grams per kilo, tho others recommend double or even triple that amount.

As individuals managing a metabolic disease, we often face dilemmas when choosing what to eat. Dairy or no dairy, this plant or that plant, this meat or that meat. I know there is no perfect answer and not all of us can depend on studies as it takes a special skill to decipher real studies from the biases in studies funded by big food and big pharma. I’d like to share my quick story about several detours in my diet journey: 1. Initially, I followed a clean diet of mostly plants, fish, eggs, grain, and other whole foods (e.g., cruciferous veggies, nuts, avocados, berries, salmon, fermented soy, kefir, wheat bread, etc). 2. After developing the metabolic disease, I changed to a ketogenic diet, it’s only been a few months. 3. Recently, I found the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD), focusing on four-legged animal meat, animal fat, and organ meat. No dairy, no plants, no grain, no vegetable oils, no fish, no eggs. Having been on PKD for just a week, I've been feeling good, but of course, it’s subjective. Hence my question. I'd love to hear from anyone who has followed PKD for 6 months or longer. I would appreciate your experience and insights. I would also appreciate an expert comment from @Johnny Rockermeier if you will. Thank you

It's important to have a healthy well balanced breakfast when managing cancer... maybe add some electrolytes or throw in some black coffee if you really need a boost... the longer you can keep the fast going throughout the day the better... will post GKI numbers each day to demonstrate
