## 19. Proper human diet

by Dr. Ken D Berry

1. **Nutrient density:** Eating should be about harvesting nutrients that the body cannot produce. Calories (energy) are secondary to nutrients (parts for the machinery [the body]).

2. **Carbohydrate intake:** Unlike protein (amino acids) and lipids (fatty acids), there are no carbohydrates essential for human life that the body does not produce. Therefore, modulate carbohydrate intake based on how your body responds to them (i.e., if you experience inflammation or other health problems, try reducing your carbohydrate intake).

3. **Food sensitivity:** Some foods (especially plants) contain chemicals (e.g., phytotoxins) that can induce inflammation and autoimmune conditions. First identify your sensitivities via methodical trial and error, then avoid them!

4. **Satiety:** Nutrient-dense fats and proteins induce the body to secrete the hormones responsible for the sensation of "being full".

5. **Fasting:** "Not eating" induces a hormonal profile that facilitates the body using its stored fat as fuel. This applies to both intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting.

6. **Ancestral appropriateness:** Eat mostly foods that humans have eaten for millions of years, such as fatty meats, organ meats, and some plants. Be cautious of foods that humans have eaten for only thousands of years, such as grains, dairy, and alcohol. Avoid foods that humans have only eaten for tens to hundreds of years, such as vegetable/seed oils and highly-processed foods.

7. **Avoid factory products:** While many processed foods ("food products") are considered safe, there is no long-term data to support this conclusion, and the consumption of such foods coincides with the obesity epidemic. Instead strive to eat one/minimal-ingredient foods. NB: flour (even almond flour) is a processed food.

8. **Adequate minerals:** Humans cannot synthesize minerals and food raised/grown in nutrient-depleted soil may lack minerals, so take a mineral supplement to ensure adequate intake.

9. **Avoid fad diets:** The ketogenic diet may seem like a fad but it is actually well-documented in cultures around the world over the course of history. In contrast, modern dietary recommendations have only existed for a few decades and are largely influenced by politics and lobbying.

10. **Sugar addiction:** Carbohydrates are habit-forming, and the more processed the carbohydrate the more addictive. Like caffeine, sugar is a drug. "Sugar cravings" are actually sugar withdrawal!

11. **Price vs quality:** High-quality products are more expensive than low-quality products. Buy high-quality foods when you can afford them, but recognize that even a "low-quality proper diet" is typically healthier than a non-proper diet.

## 20. Signs that one is eating too much

by Thomas DeLauer

1. **Energy crashes.** Postprandial hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinemia
2. **Feeling warm.** Sweating and feeling lethargic, it's like a computer heating up trying to digest food.
3. **Constant food thoughts.** It means one is eating too much processed fake and hyperstimulating food.
4. **Acid reflux.** Too much pressure on the cardias, causing changes in voice, burping and heartburn.
5. **Disrupted sleep.** Eating too much and too close to bed, reallocate bigger meal earlier in the day (big breakfast, moderate lunch, small dinner), swap carbs for protein and increase fiber intake

## 21. Target Keto diet (with carbs)

by Thomas DeLauer

Time carbs around workout

Carbs preworkout:
Feel stronger, workout is easier, get boost, using those carbs for the workout. STOP Gluconeogenesis. Prevent the body from breaking down the muscle, but ketones are still anticatabolic, it makes no sense in this way...

Carbs postworkout:
We utilize them better, we convert in spunges for carbs. After workoutswe are kicked out of ketosis no matter what, so it's a good opportunity to get some carbs and repair muscle tissue.
Combine 25-30g of fructose, 30g of glucose, salt and >30g lean protein. Add caffeine into the mix.

Do Target Keto 3-5 times per week on the days when we use a lot our body like a fullbody workout or HIIT...

## 26. Why high fructose causes novolipogenesis

Free fructose can also enter glycolysis by **two mechanisms**. 
1. First, it can be phosphorylated to fructose-6-phosphate by **hexokinase**. 
2. A more interesting alternate entry point is Phosphorylation of fructose by **fructokinase**, it produces fructose-1-phosphate and cleavage of that by fructose-1-phosphate aldolase yields DHAP and glyceraldehyde. 
Phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde by triose kinase yields GLYAL3P. This alternative entry means for fructose may have important implications because DHAP and GLYAL3P are introduced into the glycolysis pathway while **bypassing PFK-1 regulation.** Some have proposed this may be important when considering metabolism of **_high fructose corn syrup_**, since it forces production of pyruvate, a precursor of acetyl-CoA, which is itself a precursor of **fatty acids** when ATP levels are high.
