New research links potentially toxic fat-protein complexes to Alzheimer's

Re:New research links potentially toxic fat-protein complexe... by ketogenic on Tuesday November 30, 2021 @05:58PM (#29398519)

Here is an example of a ketogenic diet:

  - 2 hard-boiled eggs for breakfast.
  - 1 cup of walnuts or almonds or pecans as a snack.
      - Eaten with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese (4g saturated fat).
      - Always rinse the nuts to make them more palatable.
      - This meal may be eaten twice a day.
  - 3 tablespoons of chia seeds soaked in water, as a snack.
      - Like a high fat/protein version of oatmeal.
  - Peanuts and macadamia nuts as needed for hunger.
  - Steamed vegetables (broccoli, kale, spinach, brussels, zuchini, tomatoes).
      - Eaten with 8 tablespoons of olive oil.
      - A very large serving of steamed vegetables.
      - Salt/seasoning however you prefer.
      - This is dinner.

Once a week, eat a cheeseburger. Or twice a week: rotisserie chicken and olive oil, or coleslaw and guacamole and chicken.

This high-fat, low carb diet can be maintained with no difficulty for decades. Also, it is an ideal diet for insulin-dependent diabetics.

It's cheap, healthy, and you won't be hungry.

Anyone reading this, please ignore it and learn about keto properly, not from a random comment from a green account on hacker news.

I’m not going to tell you anything else, because I too am a random commenter on hacker news - except please don’t take the comment as a good example of how to put together a keto diet.

Good points, but I would just add once I ate almost nothing but salad and salmon or sardines for two weeks and it completely transfigured my physiology in a way that continues to astound me. As a result of that my primary recommendation is that people experiment with the best diet plans they can find and try them in two week blocks to let changes set in.

How do you prepare your salads, if you don't mind me asking?

I am not entirely sure that my body is ready to down half a cup of oil as part of a regular meal.

The large serving of olive oil is small relative to the bulk of the steamed vegetables.

It's typical for ketogenic dieters to use vegetables as a carrier for olive oil, and for a large fraction of the day's calories to come from that oil.

I think I read that Italians use something like 3oz/day of olive oil on average, aka 6 tablespoons. I wouldn't eat 8 tablespoons directly (lol) but if you just put a good amount on all your meats and vegetables it adds up a lot faster than you think.

OK, I have to ask...what is this about? "More palatable" in what way?

You're not a real health nut unless you're activating your almonds

Some nuts will have trace amounts of mold on them, depending on how they're sourced or how long they're sitting around. I've read that it's most common on pistachios. Not sure to what extent it actually happens but rinsing the nuts certainly won't do any harm.

Buy some walnuts. Try rinsing them before eating, to wash away the walnut dust. You may find you prefer the taste after washing.
