Another new low for weight.  Though with the drop in ketones, I don’t think I can even hazard a guess.  It might have to do with the fact that I had less sleep than usual -> cortisol -> insulin -> lowered ketones.  At least I’m keeping my streak alive, day 2!

Hopefully tomorrow will bring new lows in weight.

Macros were good today, and the overall calorie intake was pretty low.  … Read More

Energy Level: Good
Physical Activity: Incline walking
Nutritional Ketosis Streak: 1

Another new low in my weight!  Also I’m not sure how to explain the jump in ketones.  It probably reflects mainly my increased fat intake and decreased carbs yesterday.  I don’t really think my light activity actually had much effect… but who knows.. maybe it did.

Macros today weren’t too different.  Had more Oxtail broth!

Did some incline walking today which I think should have a greater effect than what I did yesterday.  … Read More

Still hanging in there.  Spent all day traveling back from Indianapolis.  Learned a lot of interesting things about my body and certain asymmetries that I’ll have to dedicate a separate post on.  Also have a good thought for another concurrent n=1 experiment using what I learned in Indy.

Lost my food data today too… for some reason being on the road screwed it all up.  … Read More

This will be short post.  Spent all day traveling to Indianapolis to have a physical assessment.  Glad to still be in the range!

Lost my food log data, so no macros for today… but I haven’t eaten too differently than before.… Read More

I guess my BJJ yesterday and good eating didn’t raise my ketones as much as I expected.  I’m still wondering if the lack of sleep these past couple days along with the increased personal stress is screwing me up.

I’m going to consciously try to really limit my protein now as well to around 80-100 grams now to see if this is the reason I’m not seeing the high ketone levels that others are.… Read More
