RE: High Metabolism Keto possible?
@LetTheRedeemed said in High Metabolism Keto possible?:
@NNight so there is a keto diet ?
Yes.
My first message is a reference about the "There is no Ray Peat diet" meme.There are multiple ways to do it, which make them comparable with difficulty, when they are gathered under the same umbrella term. This is probably what causes the "paradox" you found.
Ps: I'm not defending keto diets, just proper reasoning.

Yes, there are ketogenic dietS.
Drinking only seeds oil is one of them. -

About Jimmy Moore (https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/apbzv7/comment/eg7c7f0/) :He's a glutton, that's the explanation. He gorges himself on unlimited fat and calories and eats low protein. He thinks if you don't eat HUGE amounts of fat, you become 'fat deficient'
It looks like the kcal haven't made him any favor.

RE: High Metabolism Keto possible?
He is very accessible on Reddit (on the r/saturatedfat subreddit) or on his blog. And I think he also like to do experiments. For example he just carried out a test measuring his "calories out" and which costs near 1000$ (if I remember correctly).
Thus, we might convince him to do cheap blood tests to find whether he really has high cortisol or other metrics?

RE: cancer
Ohhā¦it is you. Hi!
If you havenāt done so already, you might be interested in reading Anita Moorjaniās book Dying to Be Me. She had a spontaneous healing (cancer) within days of having a near death experience. My only caution is if youāre religious, some of the things she says in it might bother you. She doesnāt talk negatively about religion, but what she experienced might be upsetting to those with certain belief systems.
Hi
Could be an interesting story (and it's even available in french)! I'm always found of those cases that might help better understand these "incurable" diseases we are suffering from. And don't worry, I'm not religious even if I'm more interested in religion lately.
I can see dry fasting having a spiritual effect on us, and I completely agree that when disease has manifested, itās a sign that our way of life needs an overhaul, at least, I know mine did, and it started and ended from within. This is just a theory based on my experience with a digestive disorder, thyroid supplementation, serotonin tests and dry fasting, but I suspect an increase in adrenaline, especially if coming from a low thyroid state, and a reduction in serotonin and endotoxin from not eating or drinking (or low irritation diets like carnivore) bring about extreme clarity, i.e., the brain fog has lifted, a heightening of senses and euphoria (think ārunnerās highā). I liken it to what Iāve heard described as an LSD trip (antagonizes/blocks serotonin?) or the honeymoon effect where everything seems betterācolors are more vivid, flavors are bolder, music is more inspiring, touch is more intense, and Iām in such a happy, giddy state and have so much love for everyone, not that I donāt normally, but itās heightened. Itās as if Iām experiencing life for the first time. To me, itās embodying the energy of a child where even a simple box provides hours of pleasure. I can be in an empty room and not want to be anywhere but there in the moment, my joy is coming from this inexhaustible, internal source, not a fleeting, external one.
Yes, dry fasting will increase alertness in some (or fatigue in others) and clearly increases stress hormones (more noradrenaline than adrenaline btw, which tends to decrease, it was found in a DF study). I don't know the exact mechanism linking dry fasting and potential spiritual experiences (it doesn't happen to everyone, far from it even) but as LSD trips, some people seem to keep benefits even long after the fast ended (spiritually or physically, if these can really be divided).
Iāve talked quite a bit about it on the old forum, but I can achieve the above state within days of doing what brings me joy, however, a more practical approach for those who have a hard time embracing it fully is dietary changes and Iāve talked with so many members who have experienced the same thing, even with simple changes to their diet, and read so many accounts in carnivore and fruitarian communities, so thatās a main reason why Iām such a proponent of diet customization, especially in advanced disease states. Ray talked about how our thoughts affect gut permeability and how eating foods that are tasty to us start the digestive process so I think thereās actually a sound, physiological reason for āreligiousā experiences and spontaneous healing with dietary modifications, following our joy and/or believing in something as powerful as the one who holds the patent to these meat suits weāre wearing (lol). Itās why I suggested the āgrandmotherā diet. IME, thereās something powerfully healing in feeling we are being cared for, that weāre not doing it all on our own. Itās the power of āworking in conjunction with one another, incinerating anxiety and stress.ā Perhaps one reason protocols work for many? Thereās a power in group thinking.
Didn't know this idea of Peat!
Never tried carnivore nor fruitarian but I generally like what I eat.
I've reduced salt since about a month and unsalted food taste bland at first (so it decrease pleasure, at least initially I believe), then salted foods taste over-salted. What's interesting is I believe salt free might be a feature of both (some, not all) carnivores and fruitarian. Moreover, I think not mixing fats and carbs might lower hedonism too. Not that I think they don't enjoy their food.Anita Moorjani went from following a cancer protocol (Gerson style) and dying, to falling into an NDE state where she was made aware that if she chose to come back to life and be herself fearlessly she would heal, and coming out of it having a spontaneous healing, while eating ice cream and dancing to ABBAās Dancing Queen in her hospital room. She believed she would heal because she had no reason not to. However, even after her NDE and the revelation she had, when she was feeling rundown from giving talks about it around the world, she did what the majority of us who are firmly entrenched in this world do. She turned to the internet, started researching ways to feel better, got into smoothies and only got worse so she sat with herself and asked her body what it needed. Chicken and eggs came to mind so she went and boiled up some eggs, felt better almost immediately after having them and learned she just needed more protein. I quit following research and overthinking health, i.e., I relaxed my mind, which losing 20 years of research notes last year made easier, and fully dedicated myself to following my joy, and what took me 14 years of losing what was left of my sanity playing armchair researcher and biohacker, I achieved within months of letting go and Iām now climbing mountains again when I once couldnāt even walk, and this was even after suffering the greatest loss of my life.
I think disproportionately high focus on health research is induced by the diseased state and I can totally believe that it's a relief when you are successfully able to let it go! That's not what life is really about after all. But that's also a sign that you are not in a learned helplessness state.
Thereās so much that can be said on the subject, but I donāt want to continue hijacking the thread. I hope whatever your experience with the Lourdes is, itās an impetus that leads to greater understanding and wonderful, lasting health.
I'll try it soon and report it

RE: cancer
I can understand being afraid to be disappointed, sure. Even if the Lourdes water fails to produce any results, perhaps thereās still a lesson to be gained from the experience? Though, a faith healing I had years ago proved to be less than miraculous, I learned a valuable lesson from it.
Sure. Maybe I will discover it has done nothing for me. And that's really not an issue.
I have recently been interested in people having been healed at the same time with religious experiences. That's fascinating that people healed from such low health states, almost instantly for some.
In a book I've read about cancer spontaneous healing, it seemed like having a regain in religiosity was a healing factor. Also, often these people gained a deep positive view of life and saw their cancer diagnostic as a sign they needed to change their way of life.
Interestingly, (dry)fasting (I'm not here to proselytize about fasting sorry if it comes as such) has helped some people experiencing religious experiences but I hadn't this chance myself. That's why I'm "afraid" Lourdes water is not going to bring anything.
I reposted an interesting study (and some dry fasting / "religious experiences" testimonies in the same thread) on the RPF:
https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/obesity-is-estrogen-driven-chronic-fasting-burns-mostly-muscle-not-fat.52177/post-972907-> An excerpt from a book about it:
Spiritual epiphanies bubble into my thoughts while I dry fast, prompting me to feel as if I have a direct line to the etheric realm; I thought it might be because I had meditated for so many years. Thus, I didnāt mention it to the Lyme, mold, and Epstein-Barr patients I coached this year. I created individualized protocols for them before they embarked on lengthy dry fasts, but I didnāt think to mention, āOh, by the way, you might have a spiritual awakening during the dry fasting.ā To my astonishment, every one of them came to me in awe of the spiritual experiences they had. They would ask tentatively, āIs there a spiritual side to this?ā The resounding answer is yes. Working in conjunction with one another, the body, mind, and spirit incinerate anxiety and stress, just as they destroy diseased cells. While you are literally starving, spiritual nutrition feeds you and strengthens your resolve.
Take care.
Thanks, you too!

RE: cancer
But what kind of water? Tap, well, spring, sea, distilled, RO, alkaline, deuterium-depleted, holy?
This is not a serious question but I answer it nonetheless: in theory, the less water the better, preferably deuterium-depleted.
By the way I have some from Lourdes in my fridge at the moment. I haven't tried it yet and I'm afraid to be "disappointed" (not that I have any specific expectations).
