This is all from the Bulletproof Diet.
Do keto for short periods of time, come out of it.
And when you're doing keto, protein quality and fat quality matter, right?
So the whole clean keto thing, first book on that.
And that's still what I do.
No, use keto as a scalpel.
And I'm 6% body fat.
What the hell business do I have being keto, right?
I don't want to get any leaner.
I'll go in ketosis if I want to deal with a certain issue or I want to lose a little bit of weight, which isn't an issue.
On a typical day when I'm not fasting, I will eat 200 grams of animal protein.
And I do that because funny enough, I weigh 200 pounds.
And that equation works.
In my longevity book, I went through all the research saying you might want 0.6 grams of protein per pound of body weight.
And they say, but as you get old, you should go up to 0.8 because you start losing muscle.
But when I go to 0.6, I start losing muscle and I don't feel good.
So maybe some people do all right on that, but I think between 0.8 and one gram of protein per pound of body weight is good, except even saying that is nonsense because have you ever heard of sarin nerve gas?
So back in some of the very early terrorist attacks in populated cities in Japan, some terrorists made sarin nerve gas and put it on a subway.
Serin comes from beans.
It's a plant-based protein.
