No resources or anything.

Depends on
1. How much you value your legs
2. If you want to keep your kidney
3. If you want to develop heart attack

If you value all that, cut. If not BAU.

You havent update you reading on scientific literature.aybe because its not your job or passion. Go read what david Sinclair or Valter Longo said both are authority in longevity field. Btw Valter longo advocates fasting mimicking diet.

Fyi im in keto/low carb field of expertise since 15 years already. I dont do hype kind of keto.
*
Actually I keep up to date. Body uses ketone more efficiently than glucose. That's why my diet is a modified Mediterranean style keto. Lots of Indonesian avocados, high quality extra virgin olive oil, and macadamia nuts. Only carbs I take are cold sweet potatoes.

So you do know the impact of ketosis  on the microbial diversity and the hormones? Yes you need to modify because increasing LDL due to high fat diet although some say large fluffy LDL is good, its not as good as it sound.

I agree LCHF is good but not really high fat. Its best keep to enough protein, moderate healthy fats.

My concern is deep ketosis. Not really LCHF. You cant really do ketosis and high intensity workout at the same time as efficient as glucose albeit "unclean" energy. Believe me. Ive done ketosis for many years since 15 years back when even many doctors against my practice. Its not even a thing in the west, malaysian still on high carb low fat diet that time.

It helps the microbial as far as I know. Heck if you feed both soluble and insoluble fibres to the microbes they will thank you by producing short chain fatty acid which is very beneficial to you. It reduces inflammation.

I don't think I am in deep ketosis. But I know fasting and exercise is the only way to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin resistance. Cause you want to get rid your visceral fat (inflammatory fat in your body).

I do OMAD and on and off 48H fast with the diet as mentioned above. My diet got lots of veges, minimum fruits.

Nope. More studies indicate ketogenic diet reduce microbial diversity albeit some mixed result.

I dont disagree with fasting and exercise. Its just they way people do KD without monitoring and understanding the effect of the diet to the body, mainly gut issue and hormonal affects.

Heck people dont even know what is keto flu and how did it happened ..thats outrageous. Keto diet without knowledge is as dangerous as following mainstream diet haha.

No im not referring to you. I think its okay to go with that diet as long as you know what you are doing. I use to demonise high fructose laden fruits but now im more leanient. I take various fruits but not much. Not as much like what KKM/FDA suggest.
*
Need to have variety of fruits and veges to grow your microbes. What you eat is what you get.

No wonder you have problems. You get rid of your visceral fat by eating more fat? Lol

You need brown fat. Visceral fat is very inflammatory. Brown fat burns down visceral fat. I don't avoid fats. I take good fats.

Fix it by fasting. Do one meal a day and your readings will come down.

Many do not understand the excessive glucose can do in the body.

The glucose will caused every cell to rot.

Every single organ in the body will eventually rot.

The eyes will rot, and go blind. The kidneys will rot, and need dialysis. The heart will rot, and get heart attacks and heart failure. The brain will rot, and get Alzheimer’s disease. The liver will rot, and get fatty liver disease and cirrhosis. The legs will rot, and get diabetic foot ulcers. The nerves will rot, and get diabetic neuropathy. No part of the body will be spared.

The solution is to get rid of the sugar.

How?

1. Put less sugar in.
2. Burn off remaining sugar.

Some people are in denial.

How does #13 helps with diabetes?

Swap it for sweet potatoes, parboiled rice or really brown rice. Or skip totally.
