Day 27 – Nutritional Ketosis

Posted on January 8, 2013October 10, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

Day 27aWeight: 183.2
AM Ketones: 0.5
AM Blood Glucose: 84
Hours of Sleep: 7:00
Energy Level: Fantastic!
Physical Activity: Tabata x1 of 60 lb kettlebell swings and burpees.

Finally!  Nutritional ketosis!  I was only a little bit off with my prediction last nite.  Glad to see that I was able to get back into nutritional ketosis after only a few days.  That means my cells are still adapted to metabolize ketones, they just needed to work through whatever carbs and glycogen I had left.

My workout today wasn’t too impressive.  … Read More

Day 26 Nutritional Ketosis

Posted on January 7, 2013October 10, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

Day 26aWeight: 182.8
AM Ketones: 0.4
AM Blood Glucose: 79
Hours of Sleep: 7:05
Energy Level: Fantastic!
Physical Activity: None

Looks like I was pretty spot on with my prediction for my ketone levels.  0.4 mmol is knocking on the door of nutritional ketosis.  I blame the chilli for keeping me out (it tasted pretty good though).

My fasting blood sugar is also coming down into the 70s which also makes me think that my body is primed to go back into ketosis.

Here’s a look at my macronutrient break down.  … Read More

Day 24 – Nutritional Ketosis

Posted on January 5, 2013October 10, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

Day 24Weight:
AM Ketones:
AM Blood Glucose: 93
Hours of Sleep: 9:24
Energy Level: Excellent!
Physical Activity: BJJ

Had a perfect ketogenic diet today.  Minimal carbs, medium amount of protein, and lots of fat!  This coupled along with my great BJJ session at Marcelo’s should hopefully get my body prepped to resume being in nutritional ketosis.

Unfortunately my ketone sticks were left with our leasing office rather than in my mailbox so I couldn’t check my ketones this evening.  Guess what the first thing I’m going to do tomorrow is?  … Read More

Day 22 – Nutritional Ketosis

Posted on January 3, 2013October 10, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

Day 22Weight:
AM Ketones:
AM Blood Glucose: 81
Hours of Sleep: 7:49
Energy Level: Excellent
Physical Activity: BJJ

Feels kind of weird not having many measurements to report.  At least my blood glucose is still on the low side.  I’ll be positive and take that as a sign that my body is doing something right.

In terms of diet, today was one of those days where I just tried to do as much damage control as possible.  We pretty much ate out the entire day, and I had to employ a lot of the methods I used when following Tim Ferriss’ “Slow Carb Diet” to minimize my carb intake..… Read More

Day 21 – Nutritional Ketosis

Posted on January 2, 2013October 10, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

Day 21Weight:
AM Ketones:
AM Blood Glucose:
Hours of Sleep: 7:17
Energy Level: Good
Physical Activity: Outlet Shopping

Still a little ‘affected’ by the effects of yester-year I completely forgot to check my AM fasting sugar before I ate something today… so not much data to report.

No scale where I’m staying either.

As you can see the first meal of the day was a burger and ice-cream (not pictured).  Not quite what Volek and Phinney had in mind.  Oh well, such is life!  The remainder of the day shaped up to be pretty good.… Read More

Day 19 – Nutritional Ketosis

Posted on December 31, 2012January 8, 2017 by BJJ Caveman

Day 19Weight: 179.6
AM Ketones: 2.0
AM Blood Glucose: 70
Hours of Sleep: 5:59
Energy Level: Excellent!
Physical Activity: None

Great to see my last ketone strip being put to good use.  A ketone level of 2.0 mmol is my 2nd highest level in all my AM measurements, and 3rd highest in my overall measurements.  Looks like the benefits of my Crossfit work out yesterday carried over to this morning, another sign that Crossfit is something I should continue.

Another new low in my fasting blood sugar measurement.  … Read More
