    Your glycogen stores will keep you going for quite some time, your pace really sets how long or short it lasts.

    Me neither. I only like it on the right-side window.
    Okay... I'll just see myself out now.

    I have little glycogen being that i do not eat carbs, it all comes from fat burning nonstop. And drinking anything besides water and eating processed foods is going to cause some issues. The big reason i do not see a doctor or care for their numbers is i do not trust them. They told my dad his numbers were great even when he was full diabetic, in the end the only thing they ended up doing for him was prescribe hospice care.

    Long ago when there were no doctors with their bloodtests, people were healthy because of what they ate, the same thing i am trying to replicate now.

    I agree on the genetic predisposition - I know many that have that family history.

    This is kind of the rule of thumb that I follow. Basically everything from the 70s on that they’ve told us is bad for us turns out to be good for us and everything they said was good for us is bad for us.lol if it’s real food, and it’s real fats, it’s good for you. Butter, eggs, avocados, red meat, chicken, fish, Olive oil, avocado, oil, oil from most fish, all keeps the arteries free flowin. It’s the crap that they tried to make in process and cut all that out like margarine and seed oil’s that have been killing people over the last several decades.

    Dude, the body will use fats and proteins to make glycogen, and if you're not pretty physically active every day, you're not depleting those stores.

    I didn't say anything about seeing a doctor now, I mentioned bloodwork.

    I don't go to the doctor for labwork, i go to Quest. You walk in, they draw blood and take a urine sample, they send you the results in thee days.

    You're not going to live longer because you're sticking your head in the sand when it comes to your health. Blindly believing any diet is not good.

    You can't sit here and preach the benefits, of it, when you don't actually know from your own bloodwork what it has done. You've lost weight, and that's your only marker right now.

    Without a ct scan, you're really just guessing that those arteries you mentioned are in great shape. Maybe all is great, I hope so. And I'm honestly very curious what your #'s would look like. At least getting them done would give you some insights

    It is what people have been eating since the beginning of time. No one ever got metabolic diseases of any kind then. But all of a sudden you are saying everything has somehow changed and that these foods are bad for us to eat. No one ever needed to test their bloodwork from eating beef, pork, and eggs.

    Never once did I say any foods were bad to eat. You're making up dumb ####.

    Like the guy who tells me how to invest money and is doing it so well, but he can't show me any money in the bank.
     
    Diesel Dave, Stay Puft and Numb Thank this.

    Today I try a pork steak to go along with my regular beef and eggs for lunch. Getting a truck with a built in fridge was the best thing that ever happened to me in this career.
