I did keto and then carnivore for years - I just stalled out after 10 lb loss . The mental clarity is real . I just need to try something different ( and less expensive) I was buying grass fed and no lunch meat or cheap processed meat so it was pretty pricey.
Yes!!! I lost only 6 pounds on keto. I'm a female in her sixties, and that parameter is just not going to get melting pounds, no matter how few carbs you eat. Do let us know how your sugar hack turns out!
I was reading all about Therese Neumann today. She survived on the Eucharist for, I think, 17 years. No food and no drink. And all the soldiers described her as plump!
Also Daniel, Azarias, Ananias, and Misael were plump and healthy eating only pulse. Then again you have St. Mary of Egypt and many of the Desert Fathers, who looked pretty emaciated.
One thing is certain. There is so much division and contradiction in the metabolic-hack space, that it must be that "an enemy hath done this."
