Yeah, I see.

We're talking steak and water, right?

Yeah, no, I find that stuff pretty compelling from an elimination diet perspective.

And I've certainly met a number of folks who feel that way.

And it's quite binary.

Either it works or it doesn't.

For many of these people, they're so debilitated on any other form of diet that it's a no brainer.

You're going to stick with that type of restriction.

All right, let's go back to now talk about this world of exogenous ketones, these supplemental ketones.

You alluded to them already through the lens of kickstarting a ketogenic diet.

But before we talk about application, I want to kind of orient people to the journey you've been on.

I was once on that journey with you being a regular consumer of all sorts of these things.

I will say lately, when I mean lately, I mean only in the past three months, I recently tried a product that I like.

I put it in my coffee in the morning and I believe it is a diester of 1,3-butanediol.

So it doesn't come with sort of the liver toxicity that I think we should talk about with respect to 1,3-butanediol, which unfortunately seems to be running rampant right now.

But it's a white powder, and what blows my mind about it is when you mix it in water and drink it, it's palatable.

It's not delicious.

You wouldn't go out of your way to drink it.

But it is not horrible the way that most of these synthetic ketones used to taste.

So you can just make a shot glass of it, and it's totally reasonable.
