Yeah.

I mean, just off the top of my head, it's hypersatiating, especially a high protein ketogenic diet.

It's hypopalatable.

Some people may argue that, but you're not going to overeat a ketogenic diet just because it doesn't have

the hyperpalatability of a standard American diet.

And I think it fundamentally is changing metabolic physiology and brain neuropharmacology in a way that decreases appetite regulation.

So with a higher protein diet, you're getting higher GLP-1, you're reversing insulin resistance, you're improving fatty acid oxidation, and I think you're fundamentally weaning your brain off glucose.

your brain is dependent on glucose with a standard American, and as you're decreasing glucose availability, your brain has a counter-regulatory dysphoric reaction to that.

And as it transitions into ketosis, you could avert a lot of this simply by using ketone electrolytes, the stuff that I gave you.

The key to start

So that's electrolytes, similar blend as element, but bound to beta-hydroxybutyrate.

Consume that when you start the diet and that'll largely mitigate two things.

It'll mitigate the electrolytes.

A ketogenic diet has a natriuretic effect, which means you dump sodium and a diuretic effect.

Let's talk about why those occur.

These are the things that kind of really throw a monkey wrench into some of the clinical trials.

They're electrolytes and they get dehydrated, so it's an important topic.

I mean, historically, eight to 10 to 12% was used with ketogenic diet.

So I'm talking about a ketogenic diet that's 20 to 30% protein.

So that's considered high.
