I try to! I've cut all sugars and most carbs. I still eat vegetables and rice but want to limit to just vegetables. I only eat 4-6oz meat. Experiment on myself. I am currently on a water fast so I only drink black coffee or green tea. I'm 10 days into my water fast.

Day 2-3 is the hardest because the body switches from glucose to ketones for energy. I get really groggy and sleepy.

Grate cauliflower or brocoli and microwave it for like three to four minutes.

You get a rice replacement.

@machtyn

THAT is happening today for dinner 😉

Thank you!

@machtyn I feel sleep and groggy as well all the time ,I totally cut sugar out but it didn't work

@MGTOW INDIAN Well, for me, it was sugar AND breads/pastas. I also stopped eating prepared meals. I COOK all my own meals.

It took me 3 months to get out of that feeling, btw.

I'm still figuring myself out but this has worked for me. Whenever I cheat and eat toast with breakfast, I get sleepy for 2-3 hours after eating.

Ok so, no sugar and eat vegetables.what about water fast

I don't suggest doing this but this is what I am doing..

I am on day 10 of a water fast. I only drink filtered water and electrolytes (look up "lyteshow" on amazon for the idea).

I am only doing this as a test of mental will for myself.

I normally eat 1 meal a day within a 1 hour window every day. So I fast 23 hours per day and eat 1 meal at 1600, then at 1700 I workout.

Ok got it

This is very unconventional

So be careful if you try it out...

Dr Jason Fung is my resource for learning about it.

I really feel more clear and focused when fasted. It's a personal preference.

I'll check that out thanks mate I have been struggling with grogginess and sleepiness

Days 1-3 are intense. Your body is switching from glucose as energy to ketones for energy so you are in a version of detox.

Alright what is the fundamental difference between a Ketone and glucose

As Sources of energy

I also lowered my caffeine down to 300mg per day. I have one cup at 1000 and my other cup at 1400.

Ketones are using your body fat as fuel.

Glucose is from carbs/sugar conversion; from my knowledge.

Again, I don't know it all and this is just something I am trying personally so do your own research.

I am recording it all and got my blood work done before I started and once I'm done I will get my blood work done again.

I also record my ketone levels via piss sticks.

Ok I don't drink coffee I think the more I drink it the more the tolerance I have for coffee

I suggest reading Dr Jason Fung's blog and listening to all his YouTube. It will take you a full day to consume it all but it's worth it.

What is piss sticks

Yes, coffee is intense. I am looking at transitioning to green tea instead.

In your opinion is milk fine

I pee on a stick that scores my ketone level.

I personally don't eat any dairy except kerrygolds (grass fed) butter and blue cheese.

I'm not sure on milk. I personally dislike it.

Milk in tea seems cool.

Look up "smack fat" keton test stripes for more information.
