Cyclic Ketogenic Diet and Cholesterol

So far we’ve looked at my:

Carb Nite Solution Results After 10 Weeks

Here is the 10 week update from my experiment with the Carb Nite Solution (check out my book review), which is essentially a variation on a cyclic ketogenic diet.

Since amazon doesn’t offer a kindle version, I actually picked up the e-book version of it directly from his website.… Read More
