For example, a person might replace their morning toast with a hard-boiled egg, then slowly replace other carbs with further…

This distinction between exogenous ketones and ketogenic diets on adipose tissue physiology and human energy balance underscores an important reason why these two ketone-boosting strategies should not be conflated. The other potentially important distinction between nutritional ketosis and chemically-induced ketosis is the potential metabolic role played by liver AcAc production and redox status. The two predominant ketones made by the liver are beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) and acetoacetate…

The benefits beyond weight loss are reduced hunger (duh), more energy, clearer skin, and improved blood sugar and cholesterol levels. I have been a loud voice of dissent within the Paleo and alternative health communities for about the last five years, expressing my deep concern about the documented inherent risks of following a ketogenic diet, while proponents issue…
