How else do you get energy? I need fat if I’m replacing carbs. It’s either coming from the EVOO in my dressing or fat in some kind of dried meat. I also dont think nitrates are as bad as some people make it out to be. Same with salt. Eating cured meats twice a week isn’t hurting anyone.

Too much protein will lead to more body fat (glucose) via gluconeogenesis. Carbs will spike your glucose and lead to more snacking and tiredness in the afternoon. Bodies should be burning fat for energy.

Edit: Just checked and the Coppa I have doesn’t even contain nitrates. The entire package is 85g and last me 2.5 meals. Prosciutto di Parma doesn’t even contain nitrates.

Fair enough. The way I thought through this was simply that you’d focus on the most basic version of the food: uncured pork (like tenderloin), chicken, beef, and some specialized variations like organs meats.

“Light” Keto, I don’t think full Keto is something you should do long term. You can still get your body to produce ketones without doing the full Keto style diet.

I’m almost done reading The Fatburn Fix by Dr. Catherine Shanahan.
