CaseyD Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Ok, jumping in here at T-minus 2 days until the July 1st W30. Thanks for having me aboard! This is my 7th? Whole30. Plus I've done an 8 week and a 10 week paleo challenge (which I did W30 style) with my CrossFit box and then there was a month of random clean paleo that led into a short keto experiment. That is why I know I want to do this. In just 3 days I felt mental clarity like I have never felt before. But, I did taper myself off the carbs to get there. I expect it to take a few weeks to experience that again. I'm turning 35 soon and I have ~50 pounds I'd like to shed. I am recovering from a wrist fracture I sustained on April 1st (haha, thanks Universe for the April Fool's joke). The head trainer at my box is very experienced and fortunately he is helping me rehab my wrist. The point is, my workout routine is light on the metcons and more focused on strength right now, so I feel this is a good down time to change up the diet. Basically, just looking to find my optimal health place and I think the low carb approach may be it. Excited to get this show on the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkor Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think I've posted 1 or 2 of Marty Kendall's articles before, but this new one about the "glucose ketone index" is pretty fascinating. I might have to spring for a ketone meter one of these days. https://optimisingnutrition.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/the-glucose-ketone-relationship/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! Starting another go'round this Sunday with some other folks. Plan is to track all my costs too like Munkers did, so hopefully I remember to save my receipts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlynne Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have had Haggis - and enjoyed it. I suppose it would depend on what the brains look like. Prepared like haggis, or sausage, or whatever, probably not a problem. However, if it was sitting chilled in the skull (a-la Indian Jones), Im not sure...... Same with bugs - cooked in a casserole - ok. On there own, not so much. All that being said - I must admit I have eaten some pretty interesting things in my life (fish eyeball, jellyfish tentacles, just to name a couple).

jmcbn Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I suppose it would depend on what the brains look like. In Greece the norm is to roast the entire head on a spit (although in the North they also boil them), then slice in half through the skull so you get two identical halves - the brain sits in a little 'bowl' in each half and it just looks kind of creamy, and tastes kind of creamy too.... Once the brain is done you can chow down on the rest of the skull - the meat on the cheeks being nice & tender. There's not a single part of the sheep they don't eat in Greece and it's all good. They do the same with cows heads although these tend to be roasted in the oven - cow cheek is some of the best beef I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Mark Mattson on intermittent fasting for brain health ... he references ketones a couple times, including the increase of mitochondrial density, so I figured it was appropriate for this thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Good point (and whole article is good too): ************************** My guess is that some of the people who claim low-carb killed their thyroid, derailed their menstrual cycle, and all that other stuff, were following very low carb diets while also overtraining, not sleeping enough, having other sources of mental & emotional stress, and very likely, most probably, ding-ding-ding, we have a winner -- not eating enough total calories. Women of all ages, but particularly, young women, tend to fall into this calorie hole. Was it low-carb that derailed their hormones, or was it trying to burn not one candle at both ends, but more like ten candles at three ends (if that’s even possible), while basically starving themselves? Whether or not they were aware of it, that may be what was happening: at a cellular level, they were starving. (Even if they didn't feel especially hungry throughout the day. I ’m talking about the cellular level, where we’re not always cognizant of what’s going on.) http://www.tuitnutrition.com/2015/07/stop-saying-ketogenic.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkor Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Oldie but goodie from Robb Wolf on the question of carbs in the post-workout meal: http://robbwolf.com/2009/07/01/post-workout-nutrition-high-or-low-carb/ ... but part of what we want with this PWO meal is the MAINTENANCE of insulin sensitivity. If we totally top off our glycogen stores PWO we impair insulin sensitivity and make it damn tough to lean out. So, one way to look at this is the a LC-PWO meal is focusing on muscular recovery and growth, while minimizing or limiting the effects of insulin or carbohydrate.

kirkor Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Great "big picture" blog post on keto: http://www.tuitnutrition.com/2016/12/ketogenic-diet-rant.html?m=1 Quote I am writing this because even though strict ketogenic diets can be great—GREAT—for many people for many reasons, they might not be appropriate for everyone, all the time.

DISCLAIMER: this will be my 3rd "official" Whole30, and I have many years under my belt of eating paleo-esque. I am fairly lean and fit, and have good bloodwork. Keto (and even W30) is not a 'quick fix' for me and I'm not looking for anything magical. It's simply an experiment in a different way of eating. A lot of people doing keto use dairy quite a bit, but there are some 'dairy free keto' resources (still looking for more): http://ditchthewheat.com/25-dairy-free-ketogenic-recipes/ http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/1jtede/ https://www.pinterest.com/sevimel/dairy-free-low-carb-recipes/ W30-specific: http://www.lowcarbkitty.com/low-carb-whole-30-week-1/ http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/13760-ive-been-on-ketogenic-diet-for-70-days-where-do-i-start/ http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/831-opinions-or-experience-with-doing-events-in-a-ketogenic-state/ Books: Grain Brain http://www.amazon.com/dp/031623480X The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008BYG7RW Online communities: http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/ http://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=61 Female-specific: http://www.reddit.com/r/xxketo/comments/16uamf/top_five_things_the_dudebros_probably_cant_or/ Scripts for MyFitnessPal to show net carbs and macro percentages in your food diary: https://github.com/Surye/mfp-keto-userscript http://cavemanketo.com/configuring-mfp/ Found a new one to add: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/ You can filter the recipes by keto, paleo, dairy free, sugar free, etc. She's got good videos too: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/2015/02/video-is-eating-high-fat-right-for-you/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyD Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Primal Edge Health has an excellent new cookbook out, too. Lots of keto- paleo/primal recipes. Many would fit (or could easily modified to fit) Whole30. It is a pdf cookbook though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctoremily Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Goodness, it's been a whole year since I've been here! Sorry to abandon ship... :-P Started fresh with keto Whole30 on January 3rd, doing well with it, solidly in ketosis and working my way through the usual stages (fatigue, a bit flu-y, headache, hungry, grumpy, etc...) and now (Day 7) energy is getting better and cravings are gone. Sleep is still a little weird, but that should work itself out soon (esp with the extra electrolytes I'm taking). I kept in high fat dairy for the first few days to ease the transition not feel too 'deprived' - I know, ridiculous, esp when I think about people in this country and around the world who don't have enough food, period, and do not have the luxury of being choosy about their food at all, let alone being able to be so particular as eating keto Whole30, but it did work for me to keep the HF dairy for a bit and now I'm done with it since it is very congesting. How are you doing all doing with the keto Whole30 plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
