Are you a sugar burner or a fat burner? Ketogenics at a glance.

first off our stomach is an indiscriminate vat of acids.. It doesn't know the difference between fruit and oatmeal or pop tarts and some cereal.. What it does know the difference between is fats and carbs..

Who here thinks high collesterol is bad?

http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/healthscience/2012/October/Cholesterol-Myth-What-Really-Causes-Heart-Disease/

What if collesterol isn't bad? Looks like inflammation is the leading cause of heart disease, and what causes inflammation? Sugar and carbs.. Sugar especially.

There's a new documentary out called "that sugar film" that has some great and relatable info in it if anyone wants to go and support the awesome Aussie that made it.

Insulin resistance is rampant in Michigan and we have a dialysis clinic of every corner. I know a few strip malls in flint that have 2 or 3 in the same mall..

I recently lost 100 pounds by going on a 4 year run of being a vegetarian and working out and the outward health effects seemed great. But inside I was a ticking time bomb. When I added up my sugar intake it was over 100 grams on a light day.. Add a red bull or 2 and you got close to 200 grams some days.. This includes fruits and vegetables...

Now I'm not saying fruits and vegetables are bad for you but we evolved in an environment where fruits and vegetables were few and far between. In the wild less then .01% of the plants you see are edible, and even when they are they need to be lucky enough to be in a rich soil spot that gets enough water go produce fruits and vegetables... Like blueberries for example.. Very very few wild blueberries exsist in Michigan and when they do they are just little patches with minuscule fruits..

Now what happens when you eat tons of fruits and veggies? You create a gut environment that's conducive to bacteria that aren't exactly good for you, like candida. Candida effects serotonin in the brain and can cause extreme mood instability. Did you guys know that 80% of the serotonin in your body is in your gut? And there's a giant nerve that runs from your brain directly to your gut fauna? And candida effects this nerve somehow and that's how it effects the levels of serotonin in your brain? Ya it's cray..

If your interested in a ketogenic diet check out Abel James' podcast. He's got a few episodes that are chock full of information.



Il come update more in a bit but I'd like some feed back from everyone in the meantime. Anyone else been checking out paleo or ketogenic diets?

Ok. Let's look at the stomach... Let's say you've at nothing but grilled chicken with no seasoning or anythin for the last year.. Then eat a strawberry... What happens?

Well first off, like I said before, our stomach is an indiscriminate vat of acid. We don't "produce" this acid like you might think. Our stomach doesn't sense what we eat and send an army to break it down.. Our stomach is a living organism that's been slowly evolving since we were babies.. We get very used to our foods. If you ate nothing but chicken your stomach would be full of acids and enzymes that LOVE chicken and your body would probably digest chicken very very well and fast.. But add that strawberry and they are going to coat it in mucus and let it slide on by.. That's not anything appetizing for the microbes that like fats.

It takes time to change our stomach fauna.. If you wanted to become a strawberry only person you would have to eat more and more strawberries progressively and after a few weeks you would probably be digesting it somewhat but not in the same way that fats get digested.


SUGARS and carbs are burnt very quickly and turned into glucose for energy... Problem is only minute amounts produce a load of energy and the excess gets stored as a very particular type of fat in between our organs. Ever seen a chubby dude with a six pack? Think chuck Liddell, he was notorious for smashing a Vegas dessert buffet. These fats could then be later burned when you entered back into a ketogenic state (fat burning state) BUT most people just keep on smashing a sugar and carb filled diet and this never allows you to return to that fat burning state..

Next update will concern the actual micro fauna such as candida.

I request that you all take a few more Minutes to read this wiki on candida.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida_(fungus)

Alright... This little bastard is probably the cause of a lot of our issues as human beings... When you have an immune deficiency for whatever reason candida can flare up and cause several different kind of infections depending on what strain of candida flares the worst.


Candida LOVES beer. Candida loves bread. Candida loves sugar. Chips. Cheerios. Cheezits. You name it if it's got flour or carbs candid probably loves it..

Serotonin is the happy drug your body produces. Serotonin relives anxiety and makes life just peachy and livable for many.

They have found that serotonin inhibits the growth of candida and relieves it's viral nature but if the candida is able to take over it very much mimicks a lack of serotonin. It's not comepletely known if candida can actually keep the serotonin away in defense of it self somehow or if it is causing anxiety, mood swings, and depression some other way.. Either way too much candida has never been proven to be a good thing.. Always negative results.

Here's a reference that discusses the inhibiting of fungal growth http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2980867/



Ok everyone here's a fun little bonus... Fungus produce saps did you know that? And this candida infection inside you is no different.. It produces sap..

Meet HEARTBURN(not the only cause but probably the most common in America)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartate_protease

candida produces aspartate protease which is a highly acidic enzyme... And what is called a cystein protease.. These guys are nasty..

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysteine_protease

These guys start a whole cascading waterfall of issues... This will be my next update..
