Re: New diet...Lorenzo warriors? Glucose....neuro-inflammatory

[Guest guest]

Hi :

Thanks for the additional info. I don't know if I am conveying that

coconut fat is the answer to having energy while going extremely low carb?

I am curious as to whether people understand that it supplies ketones, just

as glucose does?

Glucose and coconut fat are the only two healthy ways to get ketones.

The other two ways.

Starvation...body breaks down muscle/fat. It goes to the liver. The

liver releases ketones.

Cow/pig fat.....goes into the bloodstream. The cells break it down into

ketones. SOME fat gets to the liver which converts it to glucose, which

puts it into the blood stream. The brain is always tired due to low

glucose, as the brain can only burn glucose or ketones. Try eating a high

cow/pig fat diet yourself. I have. It is horrible. Even with a healthy

fat like avocado you are constantly hungry, because as I mentioned, the

brain can only burn glucose. No wonder kids can't stay on this diet, even

adults can't.

Potato chips: fat and sugar pizza: fat and sugar cereal: sugar

rice/soy drinks: sugar drinks

There is a MUCH better way to get your ketones. Coconut fat. Drink your

ketones. :-)
