Bulletproof Radio Podcast Q&A Notes

These are some notes that I took from Dave Asprey’s most recent Q&A podcast. You can listen to the full episode here and check out the entire transcript here.

This is by no means meant to be complete. If you want the complete breakdown just go ahead and read through the transcript, although there are quite a few transcription errors (seems like they use either automated software or a foreign transcription service), so listening to the podcast will be more accurate.… Read More

Carb Nite and Carb Back-Loading July 4th Discount

Kiefer’s currently offering some big July 4th discounts on his books. If I’m doing my math correctly, based on his online countdown timer, I believe these prices will only be available until Sunday, July 6th.

The Carb Nite Solution – is now being offered for $18, which is 33% off the full price.

Carb Back-Loading – is now being offered for $37, which is 50% off the full price.

When I first picked these up, I paid a total of $74 for the both of them, so this current sale is a pretty good deal, especially if you’re on the fence about trying these out.… Read More

Great Article on Ketogenic Diet and Increased Cholesterol

Just read a great post written by Franziska Spritzler, RD, a registered dietician who went on a ketogenic diet and also experienced a meteoric rise of her LDL-P.

From June 2013 to November 2013 she was eating around 50 gm carbs per day and these were her numbers:

6/11/2013 – LDL-P: 1174, LDL-C: 124, Small LDL-P: 103
11/2013 – LDL-C: 160

Then in January 2014 she experimented with further decreasing her carb intake to around 20 gm per day.… Read More

Carb Back-Loading, Resistant Starch, and Cholesterol

Carb Back-Loading, Resistant Starch, and Cholesterol

While continuing my Carb Back-Loading experiment (results at 4 weeks, results at 8 weeks), I was a bit disheartened after receiving my latest NMR cholesterol results. Despite losing almost 5 lbs and 1.25 inches off my weight, while increasing the amounts I was lifting on Stronglifts 5×5, my LDL-P particles were still high (LDL-C was high as well).

I had heard a couple podcasts where Robb Wolf mentioned that he was able to get his cholesterol in check while using resistant starch and a few other reports I’ve seen around the internets of people with a smiliar response that I wanted to try it out again.… Read More

More Carb Nite and Carb Back-Loading Tips Part 2

In an effort to stay on top of things despite so much travel, I’ve been doing my best to listen to all of my regular podcasts and taking notes when I hear things that are interesting. Here is the second edition of my Kiefer notes. Again some of these are from his own site, Body.io and some from when he appears as a guest on other podcasts. For those that don’t know, Kiefer is the author of both The Carb Nite Solution and Carb Back-Loading, both ways of eating that I’ve been playing around with recently. … Read More

Carb Back-Loading and Cholesterol

Carb Back-Loading and Cholesterol

After I reached the 8 week mark of my Carb Back-Loading experiment, I planned to draw a series of blood tests to see where things stood compared to my most recent set of labs which were drawn after doing Carb Nite for 10 weeks.

If you’ve been following my cholesterol adventures at all, you’ll know that I’ve been dealing with high cholesterol these past few years when I switched to various forms of high fat low carb diets. More specifically my LDL-C and LDL-P have risen with my dietary changes and I’ve been trying to see what, if anything, I can do to get those numbers under control.… Read More
