First of all, what do you think is happening metabolically?

How does one achieve ketosis with just meat?

Because even the fattest serving of meat, even if you were eating just ribeyes,

I suppose it's possible that you could get 30% of your calories from protein and 70% from fat.

Does it produce a ketotic state as well, typically?

Couldn't do it if it was a New York strip or a filet.

You just don't have enough fat in it relative to the protein, right?

You're getting a lot.

I mean, I got a ton.

I had two salads a day when I was on a ketogenic diet.

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.
