And I think there's some genetics that need to be unpacked there.
In several cases, it was people that were ApoE4 carriers.
They were homozygous.
I think there's something to unpack there.
They just don't metabolize.
Their lipid metabolism is a little bit different.
So I think it's really important to get blood work, track triglycerides, track HDL, ApoB, LDL, hemoglobin A1C, insulin levels.
I think I've seen people's insulins go up.
But generally speaking, 90% or 80% or more insulin goes down.
But really just to use, there's so many different guides out there.
And if you're doing it to manage a clinical condition, you should be working with a registered dietitian that's savvy.
And the people I recommend, there's advanced ketogenic therapies, and it's a team of people.
And it's kind of spearheaded by Denise Potter.
She's a registered dietitian, came from the world of epilepsy.
And worked as a conventional registered dietitian and then transitioned to ketogenic and now has a team of a half dozen or more people.
Yeah, it depends why they want to use it.
Yeah, weight loss.
So I would say calories are super important.
So just gravitate towards a high protein ketogenic diet.
And if it's just purely weight loss, I would say high protein, moderate fat, and then high fiber.
