It’s non-negotiable, or at least it should be. If you don’t believe in the scale, I’m going to provide a few reasons why you should reconsider and face the numbers. And if you’re already on the daily weight bandwagon, this article is covering much more than the scale alone. This is a completely fledged out guide for ensuring a diet’s success by the art of bio tracking.
Despite all the times I’ve jumped on the fat pedestal and flew the keto flag, there’s a crucial mechanism shared across both dieting extremes. It’s a simple, powerful strategy that enables intuitive eating. Which means you won’t have to spend time tracking every food label you come across.
Why go carnivore? There are two major reasons for choosing an all-animal diet. No plant toxins, and total meat nutrition.
Keto isn’t for everyone, but it was perfectly suited for my situation. It’s sedative, without actually making the body lethargic. You basically miss out on some of the highs and lows that spike you over the day. Instead, the mood flattens out, and that’s the sweet spot.
Going full keto can feel like you’re constantly stepping on eggshells. There are fine margins when you assemble the shopping trolley that will get you through the next week. Go over your carb quota and you’ll pay dearly by snapping out of ketosis. Then it’s back to warring with the insulin crisis.
There’s a big difference between entering ketosis and becoming keto adapted. The question of the diet’s success is whether you can hold out long enough to get to the real benefits of carb restriction.
So why is keto apparently so dangerous for muscle? The thought process follows logical lines, but then misses out on the general principle of metabolic flexibility.
The question is whether you can borrow those benefits for a few hours, without having to go through all of the hassle of living and adapting to a ketogenic carb-free lifestyle.
Reliably feeling bloated and tired after a meal is a tell-tale sign that things aren’t working like they should. Where you should be rebuilding muscle and restoring energy, a misfiring gut could be tripping you up.
