Calling the carnivores among us

[NoDopes]

Anyone know if a little whiskey is ok on this diet? I'm just over 1 week in but would like to drink some on weekends.

Gin is more keto friendly.

Oh no…

As much as I have evangelized about carnivore and keto in the past I’m coming back around to carbs as fuel. But, using better sources like fruit, honey, and maybe some white rice. This all comes from a guy named Ray Peat who’s main thesis was that mitochondria in every cell in our body needs glucose as fuel to operate properly

I’m also becoming more and more convince that seed oils are the root cause of so many of our ill health

Your body actually turns excess BCAA's and lipids into glycogen. It's why everyone feels so much energy. Neither protein nor BCAA's could really be tapped for aerobic or extended anaerobic exercise if this wasn't the case. This wasn't really understood until fairly recently.
