Unless you are hallucinating that you are reading such lines in my post, I don't believe I stated anywhere that a diet
is better for
you. I said "can" be detrimental, which you can follow the logic (as a scientist) by yourself (before you jump up to state "to each his own" ). I find it peculiar that when it comes to diet, people get very defensive, but they are more than comfortable describing and promoting the "optimal" ways to consume and experience a substance (even what to make of it afterwards). I see no difference whatsoever between the two. We know nothing, but we try to understand the "optimal" approach, for the biggest proportion of the population. Nothing wrong in researching that.

Neural, very glad to hear you're doing so well!
Any luck with home-made bone broth btw, to repair the existing bone/muscle damage?
No I did not go forth with bone broth, I am so happy that the inflammation stopped that I cannot be bothered. I will try though when I'll be in the mood

I tired the ketogenic diet thing and I just could not do it. I needed the carbs. The grain free thing I did for a long long time, but I still had to have fruits and sweet potatoes to get a certain amount of carbs or I couldn't find energy to do anything.
I find (as whoever goes forth with keto) that the first 15 days are the most difficult. Energy is totally depleted as you're not feeding your body any carbs, and it takes a few days for it to switch to fat consumption as primary energy. During which time you'll feel like a zombie, but after that, energy is back and your body adapts. I still eat sweet potatoes, and 85% cocoa chocolates, just as long as I am staying below 30 grams of carbs daily.

You know what is really great though? I got some organic non medicated ethically raised bacon, without added nitrates..and I have been eating it. Bacon..for the first time in years. After all that fat and cholesterol crap mythology..finally dissolved. Cook some bacon in grass fed butter, pour the remaining oils and butter over some quality freerange eggs with the bacon. Herbal tea and maybe some sweet potatoe. Best breakfast ever.
I feel you. My breakfast: 5 streaks of bacon, fried in butter, and 2 eggs dropped and fried in the butter/bacon fat that resulted, and coffee with extra thick double cream. Every. Day.
But hey, I am not telling anyone what to do, just sharing my experience. I think that's the point of this forum, ey? Otherwise, I can tell you "Hey, I know what I like, don't start telling me what to inhale, how and why, okay?".
