Keto Quotes

Before Keto could notice, Hedge pointed towards the top of the amphitheater. It looked like he might be screaming, Gods of Olympus, what is that? Keto turned. Coach Hedge promptly took off his fake foot and ninja-kicked her in the back of the head with his goat hoof.

With the support of a flesh-and-blood weapon named Major, a wondrous Belgian Mal named Keto, and a retired Judge named Shandy, Pack ripped apart the scandalous enterprise. That episode had culminated in the modern equivalent of the Gunfight at the OK Corral.

Under fire, trying to get a fugitive out of Honduras: “Their pilot hopped out of the cockpit to allow them entry room. Pack sent Keto [Belgian Malinois K-9] up first. Then he dragged Triandos up. The prisoner’s head pinged off every step on the way up. His head struck the bulkhead as Pack flung his bulk into the cabin. ‘I know there’s a protocol,’ Pack thought, ‘but whoever wrote it was never in this situation.

Declan said, "Can we pause for a moment and remark on the fact that both of you have spoken to the Prince of the Pit? Is no one else about to puke at the thought?" Ruhn held up a hand, and Tharion lazily lifted one from the bench, but Bryce high-fived Hunt. "Special kids club," she said to the angel, who winked at her.

I knew you were weak,” she says. “But I never realized the extent of it. The heir to the sea kingdom of Keto, who I had to beat into brutality. Who would sooner see a young prince drown than rip out his heart while it still beat. Who cried while she murdered my sister.

Ketones are an efficient and effective fuel for human physiology without increasing the production of damaging free radicals. Ketosis allows a person to experience nonfluctuating energy throughout the day as well as enhanced brain function and possibly resistance to malignancy. – Dr. David Perlmutter

1,300 mg of evening primrose oil three times a day to help with hormone balance.

All diets that result in weight loss do so on one basis and one basis only: They reduce circulating levels of insulin; they create and prolong the negative stimulus of insulin deficiency.

Se une jo vetem nuk isha nopran e nurzi, por as i lig e as keqdashes nuk isha, ama edhe ndonje hiç nuk ehste se isha. Ja ku po jua them se nuk kam qene as i lig e as i poshter, po as i ndershem, nuk kam qene hero, por edhe shterpi nuk kam qene. Ne keto çaste dergjem ne qoshen time dhe vetem ndersej veten, vetem shtirem sikur kam qene njeri i keq, se, sipas meje, nje njeri qe e ka plot koken, s'ka si ben marrezi si ato te miat, vetem budalli sillet asisoj.

A low-carb, ketogenic diet needs to be high in fat, not protein, to produce adequate ketones.

To achieve a ketotic state, I ask people to begin with grain and sugar elimination. Grains are, by the way, the worst offenders for triggering high blood sugar, even worse than simple sugars, such as sucrose. So grain elimination—not reduction—is key for getting into ketosis. – Dr. William Davis

Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colourless liquid with a slight chemical odour. It is used as an antiseptic, a solvent, in medical wipes and antibacterial formulas because it kills organisms by denaturing their proteins. Ethanol is an important industrial ingredient. Ethanol is a good general purpose solvent and is found in paints, tinctures, markers and personal care products such as perfumes and deodorants. The largest single use of ethanol is as an engine fuel and fuel additive. In other words, we drink, for fun, the same thing we use to make rocket fuel, house paint, anti-septics, solvents, perfumes, and deodorants and to denature, i.e. to take away the natural properties of, or kill, living organisms. Which might make sense on some level if we weren’t a generation of green minded, organic, health-conscious, truth seeking individuals. But we are. We read labels, we shun gluten, dairy, processed foods, and refined sugars. We buy organic, we use natural sunscreen and beauty products. We worry about fluoride in our water, smog in our air, hydrogenated oils in our food, and we debate whether plastic bottles are safe to drink from. We replace toxic cleaning products with Mrs. Myers and homemade vinegar concoctions. We do yoga, we run, we SoulCycle and Fitbit, we go paleo and keto, we juice, we cleanse. We do coffee enemas and steam our yonis, and drink clay and charcoal, and shoot up vitamins, and sit in infrared foil boxes, and hire naturopaths, and shamans, and functional doctors, and we take nootropics and we stress about our telomeres. These are all real words. We are hyper-vigilant about everything we put into our body, everything we do to our body, and we are proud of this. We Instagram how proud we are of this, and we follow Goop and Well+Good, and we drop 40 bucks on an exercise class because there are healing crystals in the floor. The global wellness economy is estimated to be worth $4 trillion. $4 TRILLION DOLLARS. We are on an endless and expensive quest for wellness and vitality and youth. And we drink fucking rocket fuel.

To get the full effect, you want at least a few ketones in your blood most of the time. You can get keto strips to measure your urine, and they should be at least a very light pink. The minimum blood level you want every day is 0.5.

Factoid: Within the class of nutrients called ‘carbohydrates’, there is no molecule that is essential for human health or well-being. This does not mean that blood sugar is completely unimportant, but rather that blood sugar can be well-maintained via metabolic processes such as gluconeogenesis without dietary carbohydrates in the keto-adapted human.

Many chronic symptoms and health conditions—such as fatigue, sleepiness, mood disorders, insomnia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, lipid disorders, high blood pressure, headaches (including migraines), gas, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, joint inflammation, acne, and difficulty concentrating, to name a few—will improve on a ketogenic diet. Treating lifestyle conditions with lifestyle change such as this can make us a healthier and less drug-dependent country. – Jackie Eberstein

COFFEE Ingredients : 1 cup brewed organic coffee 1 tablespoon organic grass-fed butter 1 tablespoon MCT oil (I prefer Dave Asprey’s Brain Octane) 1 teaspoon cocoa powder A generous sprinkling of cinnamon Method

Keto wasn’t just any dog. He was vicious, trained to be a killing machine when called on. Pack had invested much time and effort into training Keto. He hadn’t barked before attacking the murderer. It was close to a stealth attack. Probably flew through the air the final eight or ten feet. Mouth open wide, upper and lower incisors ready to rip the prey apart painfully, efficiently.  And the killer’s screams weren’t just any screams. They were shrieks, the kind arising from sheer terror. Knowing your means of defense are dead, as dead as you soon will be.  

Carbohydrate-rich foods—grains, starchy vegetables, and sugars—work to keep insulin elevated in our circulation, and that traps the fat we eat in our fat cells and inhibits the use of that fat for fuel. That’s what the obesity research community should have been trying rigorously to resolve or refute for the past sixty years.

To deal or avoid Keto Flu, you must ensure these levels of electrolytes: 400 mg (RDA) of Magnesium (increase if you exercise). Sources: artichoke, dark chocolate, nuts, spinach, fish, supplements. 2000 mg of Potassium (Daily Estimated Minimum), plus another 1000 mg a day specifically for a Keto diet. Sources: salmon, dark leafy greens, mushrooms, avocado, nuts, supplements. You need extra sources of Sodium on a Keto diet (about 3000-5000 mg preferably from food sources). Sources: bouillon, broth, bacon. Once you give up most carbs, make sure you include foods like avocados (potassium), nuts (magnesium), bone broth or sauerkraut (sodium) in your diet

if a lie is repeated often enough, people will begin to believe it.

So if ketosis is so desirable, then why has there been such deafening silence or even fierce negativity on the subject from health authorities?

During periods of starvation or fasting, the human brain can very easily switch over to using ketones as an alternative to glucose.

There are three reasons why people fail to reach a ketogenic state: too many carbohydrates, too much protein, or not enough fat.

I find I have much better drive and focus when in a state of ketosis. I have a lot more mental clarity and productivity. Bryan Barksdale

Ketogenic therapy shows promise for autism, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and migraines.

On the keto diet, 65 to 75 percent of the calories you consume should come from fat. About 20 to 25 percent should come from protein, and the remaining 5 percent or so from carbohydrates.

Meren aavikko, kelluva keto ylijäänyttä maitovaahtoa tuulten juomingeista. Älä pelkää kuolemaa. Talven ansarissa on lasiksi muttunut seinä, johon uusi kevät koputtaa. Meren aavikko, kukkiva keto.

The loneliness of feeling unseen by others is as fundamental a pain as physical injury, but it doesn't show on the outside. Emotional loneliness is a vague and private experience, not easy to see or describe. You might call it a feeling of emptiness or being alone in the world. Some have called this feeling existential loneliness, but there's nothing existential about it. If you feel it, it came from your family.

But today, the AHA is saying something quite different. In their massive 2015 report Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics, they buried a bombshell in the text.8 It says that five huge randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that total fat consumption does not affect rates of coronary heart disease or stroke.

If the conventional thinking and advice worked, if eating less and exercising more were a meaningful solution to the problem of obesity and excess weight, we wouldn’t be here. If the true explanation for why we get fat were that we take in more calories than we expend and the excess is stored as fat, we wouldn’t be here.

The patients who succeed, these physicians agreed, tended to be those who could be induced to read at least some of the copious literature on LCHF/ketogenic eating that’s now available. They had to become people who cared enough to do the work.

In the HEALTH core market with a weight-loss submarket, I’d ask: “What other vehicles are people trying to use to get six-pack abs inside the weight loss submarket?” The answers to these questions would include: Keto diet, vegan diet, meatatarian diet, and bodybuilding.

Sa me teper te dine njerezit per njeri-tjetrin, aq me shume keqkuptohen. Dhe sa me shume qe njihen me shoqi-shoqin, aq me te huaj behen. Ja, merre si shembull familjen Haze: ata ia dine te gjitha njeri-tjetrit dhe nuk honepsen dot, a thua se jane te huaj dhe shkuar te huajve. Ajo vuri ne koke kapen e vogel dhe e provoi perpara pasqyres. - Keto qe po rrefen ti Robi, jane gjysme te verteta. - Te gjitha te vertetat kete te mete kane, - iu pergjigja une. - Me tej s'arrijne dot kurre. Prandaj jemi njerez. Si do t'i vinte halli me te vertetat e plota? S'do te jetonim dot!

maintain muscle and other protein-containing tissues. But when you observe a human over a number of weeks of adaptation to a low carbohydrate diet, most of this initial inefficiency in protein use goes away[27]. Thus, once you are keto-adapted, your body’s need for protein isn’t much higher than during a ‘balanced diet’. This is a key fact in our understanding that low carbohydrate diets used in the long term do not need to be particularly high in protein. All the protein we eat (with the exception of stuff that is rubbed or cut off, like skin, hair, and nails) eventually gets burned for energy, yielding 4 Calories per gram. And you can’t “push” your body to build muscle by eating extra protein – muscle is built up under the stimulus of exercise (or illicit pharmaceuticals) as long as adequate protein is available at the time. No one has ever shown

Remember this quotation from Jimmy Moore: “One way to remember that eating carbohydrates leads to an increase in blood and liver fat is to compare it to the French delicacy foie gras, a “fatty liver,” created by force-feeding carbohydrate (corn or, in Roman times, figs) to a goose. The same thing happens in humans.

- E di c'me vajti ne mendje atje ne teater? Qe fjala 'art' me siguri vjen nga fjala 'artificial'. Ose e kunderta...kjo s'ka rendesi, rendesi ka, qe te dyja fjalet jane te lidhura mes tyre. Kjo do te thote se, sipas perkufizimit arti duhet te jete i shkeputur nga jeta, duhet te zere vend diku jashte caqeve te saj. Duhet te jete maksimalisht i larguar prej saj. - Pa shiko,- verejti Milla. -Une nuk mbaj mend kur kam bere per here te fundit biseda te tilla. - Pse, biseda te gabuara jane?- nuk e kuptova une. - Jo, ne te kundert. Te gjithe njerezit perreth vetem per rutinen, per te perditshmen llomotitin. Makinat, restorantet, lejet, pushimet, pija, sherbimet jashte shtetit...Keto i kane ne maje te gjuhes burrat. Kurse grate flasin edhe per veshjet, natyrisht edhe per meshkujt, per kozmetiken. Ne rastin me te mire, per ndonje film. Zakonisht te vjen frike se mos mbytesh, se mos te merret fryma. Kurse me ty eshte ndryshe, me ty ndihesh e fresket.

Astwood’s belief that those who fatten easily are fundamentally, physiologically and metabolically different from those who don’t. This implies that those of us who fatten easily can get fat on precisely the same food and even the same amount on which lean people stay lean. We can’t be told to eat like lean and healthy people eat and expect that advice to work, because we get fat eating like lean and healthy people. Indeed, we get fat and hungry eating like lean and healthy people do.

Feeling Faint Issue: I’m happy losing weight with a low carbohydrate diet, but I’m always tired, get light headed when I stand up, and if I exercise for more than 10 minutes I feel like I’m going to pass out. Response: Congratulations on your weight loss success, and with just a small adjustment to your diet, you can say goodbye to your weakness and fatigue. The solution is salt…a bit more salt to be specific. This may sound like we’re crazy when many experts argue that we should all eat less salt, however these are the same experts who tell us that eating lots of carbohydrates and sugar is OK. But what they don’t tell you is that your body functions very differently when you are keto-adapted. When you restrict carbs for a week or two, your kidneys switch from retaining salt to rapidly excreting it, along with a fair amount of stored water. This salt and water loss explains why many people experience rapid weight loss in the first couple of weeks on a low carbohydrate diet. Ridding your body of this excess salt and water is a good thing, but only up to a point. After that, if you don’t replace some of the ongoing sodium excretion, the associated water loss can compromise your circulation The end result is lightheadedness when you stand up quickly or fatigue if you exercise enough to get ‘warmed up’. Other common side effects of carbohydrate restriction that go away with a pinch of added salt include headache and constipation; and over the long term it also helps the body maintain its muscles. The best solution is to include 1 or 2 cups of bouillon or broth in your daily schedule. This adds only 1-2 grams of sodium to your daily intake, and your ketoadapted metabolism insures that you pass it right on through within a matter of hours (allaying any fears you might have of salt buildup in your system). This rapid clearance also means that on days that you exercise, take one dose of broth or bouillon within the hour before you start.

eating a ketogenic diet lowers inflammation naturally, without the use of prescription medications such as statins. It’s this inflammation that is the true culprit in heart disease, and the fact that ketosis reduces systemic inflammation is further evidence supporting the use of a low-carb, high-fat diet for improving heart health.

Carbohydrate overconsumption has created the walking dead. – Stephanie Person

Steer clear of sugars in any form (including starchy carbohydrates) because they can be disruptive to the way you process and metabolize foods.

There’s a good reason, as Miller said to me, why alcoholics don’t celebrate the successful completion of a twenty-eight-day rehab program with a champagne toast.

A 100-calorie snack pack of cookies has a dramatically different effect on your body than half an avocado or a small handful of almonds with about the same number of calories.

Eating carbohydrates makes you hungry. If you don’t eat carbohydrates, there is no hunger.

Years of poor eating habits will catch up to you,

To cut to the chase, we are a carbohydrate substance abuse program, not a weight loss program.

We're in this until the bitter end, Legs.

My final word about expectations is something I’ve already mentioned. Since it’s very important, I’ll reiterate it here. Expect to make mistakes. Don’t hold yourself to some crazy high standard of perfection. You will goof up and you will slip off the wagon. Everyone does. Forgive yourself and climb right back on the keto wagon to resume your fat-loss journey!

You should have brought the nurses donuts on your first day. You showed up empty-handed, that was your first mistake. Cupcakes might save you, but not the cheap stuff. Nadia Cakes, two dozen, get a keto one for Gloria, at least four gluten-free ones, and one vegan. Hector doesn’t do animal by-products. Bonus points if you get a doggie cupcake for Angelica’s new puppy.

There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. . . . Anyone who tells you to start eating carbohydrates in order to fix a health problem is totally missing the point. – Nora Gedgaudas

the ketogenic diet was originally designed in the 1920s to help treat epilepsy, according to a report published in Epilepsia. It was proven to be an effective form of treatment, particularly for childhood epilepsy. Scientists soon discovered that its benefits extended beyond epilepsy treatment. It has also been found helpful in weight loss and the prevention of other diseases.

Unlike in SeaWorld, there is no known instance of mother-son mating in wild orca communities. In SeaWorld Orlando, Katina mated with her son Taku, resulting in the female calf Nalani. Kohana was bred with her uncle Keto twice. This is an instance of what appears to be a taboo—strictly reinforced in the wild by generations of matriarchs—that has broken down in the confines of captivity.

So let’s consider an alternative diet, say 1200 kcal consisting of 30% protein, 15% carbs (i.e., 180 kcal or 45 grams), and 55% fat. After a week or two of getting adapted (during which you may experience some of the fuel limitation symptoms discussed above), your serum ketones rise up in the range (1-2 millimolar) where they meet at least half of the brain’s fuel supply. Now if you go for that 5 mile run, almost all of your body’s muscle fuel comes from fat, leaving your dietary carb intake plus gluconeogenesis from protein to meet the minor fraction of your brain’s energy need not provided from ketones. And, oh yes, after your run while on the low carb diet, your ketone levels actually go up a bit (not dangerously so), further improving fuel flow to your brain. So what does this mean for the rest of us who are not compulsive runners? Well, this illustrates that the keto-adapted state allows your body more flexibility in meeting its critical organ energy needs than a ‘balanced’ but energy-restricted diet. And in particular, this also means that your brain is a “carbohydrate dependent organ” (as claimed by the USDA Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee as noted in Chapter 3) ONLY when you are eating a high carbohydrate diet. When carbohydrate is restricted as in the example above, your body’s appropriate production of ketones frees the brain from this supposed state of ‘carbohydrate dependency’. And because exercise stimulates ketone production, your brain’s fuel supply is better supported during and after intense exercise when on a low carbohydrate diet than when your carbohydrate intake is high (see below).

Looking at obesity without preconceived ideas,” she wrote, “one would assume that the main trend of research should be directed toward an examination of abnormalities of the fat metabolism, since by definition excessive accumulation of fat is the underlying abnormality. It so happens that this is the area in which the least work has been done.” She added, “As long as it was not known how the body builds up and breaks down its fat deposit, the ignorance was glossed over by simply stating that food taken in excess of body needs was stored and deposited in the fat cells, the way potatoes are put into a bag. Obviously, this is not so.

Despite decades of obesity research, and billions of dollars spent in the laboratory and on clinical trials, the bedrock fundamental concept underlying all nutrition and dietary advice is that fat and lean people are effectively identical physiologically, and that our bodies respond to what we eat the same way, except that the fat people at some point in their lives ate too much and expended too little energy and so became fat, while the lean people didn’t.

I have seen mood stabilization, reduced or eliminated depression, reduced or eliminated anxiety, improved cognitive functioning, greatly enhanced and evened-out energy levels, cessation of seizures, improved overall neurological stability, cessation of migraines, improved sleep, improvement in autistic symptoms, improvements with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), improved gastrointestinal functioning, healthy weight loss, cancer remissions and tumor shrinkage, much better management of underlying previous health issues, improved symptoms and quality of life in those struggling with various forms of autoimmunity (including many with type 1 and 1.5 diabetes), fewer colds and flus, total reversal of chronic fatigue, improved memory, sharpened cognitive functioning, and significantly stabilized temperament. And there is quality evidence to support the beneficial impact of a fat-based ketogenic approach in all these types of issues. – Nora Gedgaudas

As self-help and management advice books will often say, setting a goal and committing to it are vitally important. Without the commitment, we never get to find out if the goal is achievable. By diluting the commitment and allowing us to compromise, we never know.

I'm at your apartment and ready to go through your underwear drawer. She'd written back immediately, You're early. I'll be there in ten. Don't leave drool stains on my lace ones. Or worse. No promises, he'd answered, and she'd replied, Just spare the pink bra, please.

To get fat out of those fat cells, as Yalow and Berson described it, the absolute fundamental requirement was not eating less or exercising more, but lowering the amount of insulin in the circulation. (Eating less and exercising, as I’ll discuss, can be inefficient ways of lowering insulin levels.)

I thought we weren't working together anymore.' 'You're on probation. You can thank your abs for that.' He took her face in his hands, squeezing her cheeks as he pressed a chaste kiss to her brow. 'I'll send you some photos later. Don't show Athalar.' Bryce shoved him. 'Send me an otter and we'll be even.

In just the past few decades, the rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses have gotten considerably worse. And do you know what’s most shocking about that? The spike in all of these ailments coincides almost perfectly with the implementation of the government’s Dietary Guidelines in 1980. Coincidence? I think not.

You know what Bryce would do to me if you wound up dead? I'd never get to fondle her underwear again.' Ithan gaped at him. Then burst out laughing. It was a rich sound, a little hoarse- like he hadn't done it in a while. 'I'm surprised Athalar lets you live.' 'You know what Bryce would do to Hunt if I wound up dead?' Tharion grinned. 'My sweet Legs has my back.

Dose response studies indicate a linear increase in skeletal muscle protein synthesis with ingestion of high quality protein up to about 20-25 grams per meal[127]. With protein intakes twice this amount, there is a marked increase in protein oxidation with no further increase in protein synthesis. When looked at over the course of a day, there is no credible evidence that protein intakes above 2.5 g/kg body weight lead to greater nitrogen balance or accumulation of lean tissue. Another reason to avoid eating too much protein is that it has a modest insulin stimulating effect that reduces ketone production. While this effect is much less gram-for-gram than carbohydrates, higher protein intakes reduce one’s keto-adaptation and thus the metabolic benefits of the diet.

The authorities who insist that abstaining from carbohydrates is an unsustainable lifestyle once again typically do so from the perspective of lean people whose primary fuel happens to be carbohydrates and whose bodies can tolerate carbohydrates without accumulating excess fat. From their perspective, a program that requires living without carbohydrates appears doomed to fail. Why would anyone do it, if another way existed that allowed for the occasional consumption of cinnamon buns and pasta (in moderation, not too much)? But for many of us, there may be no other way. Lean folks aren’t like us. They don’t get fat when they eat carbohydrates; they may not hunger for them just by thinking about them. They have a choice to live with carbohydrates or not. We don’t. Not if we want to be lean and as healthy as we can be.

Lacking adequate parental support or connection, many emotionally deprived children are eager to leave childhood behind. They perceive that the best solution is to grow up quickly and become self-sufficient. These children become competent beyond their years but lonely at their core. They often jump into adulthood prematurely, getting jobs as soon as they can, becoming sexually active, marrying early, or joining the service.

blood sugar values go down, blood pressure drops, chronic pain decreases or disappears, lipid profiles improve, inflammatory markers improve, energy increases, weight decreases, sleep is improved, IBS [irritable bowel syndrome] symptoms are lessened, etc. Medication is adjusted downward, or even eliminated, which reduces the side-effects for patients and the costs to society. The results we achieve with our patients are impressive and durable.

The only veggies allowed when trying to become keto-adapted are: red leaf lettuce, cabbage, celery, zucchini and cucumbers. I know this sounds crazy, but even non-starchy vegetables may hold you back while trying to become keto-adapted. I used to be more passive in my office and tell clients to take “baby steps” but not anymore. People want results. Rip that band-aid off! Whether you are dealing with inflammation showing externally where people can see it (weight gain, acne, eczema, and rosacea) or internally (heart disease, joint pain, nerve damage, high blood sugar), the faster you can get to be keto-adapted the better. Once adapted or near your weight loss and healing goals, you can begin to re-introduce other low starch veggies. When in maintenance, you can find your bodies threshold for carbs by introducing psyllium breads and nut flours and monitoring your weight (typically 30-50 grams of total carbs per day).

There’s a saying that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. And that’s precisely what has happened to national nutritional policy in the United States in recent years. The government ignores studies that don’t fit within a preconceived template of a low-fat, low-salt, calorie-restricted, high-carb, plant-based diet. But this one-size-fits-all approach to eating does not work for the large segment of the population that is dealing with obesity and other metabolic chronic health issues.

Po behen pothuaj tri jave nga shetitja e nje Majit, por bashke me keto po behen edhe tri jave nga pershendetja tallese dhe e fundit e Poles. Mendoj, mendoj dhe habitem me vete: A me te vertete me ka dashuruar Pola? Atehere cfare dreq eshte kjo dashuri rinie? Une po! Kam dashuri, d.m.th., gezohem kur gezohen te tjeret dhe deshperohem, kur deshperohen ata. Mirepo, kete fare gezimi e deshperimi e ndiej edhe per cdo njeri te larget, madje edhe per Polen e per te gjithe. . ., por asnje nuk dua te kem pa pa perpara. . . I dua, por malli s’me merr! E shoh njerine si njeri per t’u pare, por jo per t’u adhuruar. Njeriu, qe do te adhurohet — qe do te dashurohet, desha te them — prej te gjitheve a prej nje njeriu s’eshte lindur ende. . ., por as qe ka per t’u lindur ndonje i tille! Pra, po them te drejten, se une e doja dhe e dua me gjithe zemer Polen, por me nje dashuri familjare, ashtu si i dua dhe motrat e mia. Sa here qe ka rene puna per te kercyer dance me te a te fjalosesha per ndonje gje, gjithnje e nderoja si njeri, pa anuar mendja per keq. E them kete, sepse ta dashurosh tjetrin ose tjetren per nje pune shtazore, atehere humbet cdo qellim njerezor dhe pastaj eshte e kote te dashurosh! Por ja qe doli ne shesh: -Te dua! - me tha si pa gje te keqe. - Fort mire! Me do? Edhe une te dua! U mbarua puna. Mirpo: - Pse nuk me dorezohesh? Ja kete mister nuk mund ta zgjidh. Per te dashuruar si moter a si njeri e kam dashuruar, por per ta dashuruar si kafshe, as qe me ka shkuar mendja. Por Pola me paska dashur per burre te saj. . . per jeten e saj! Ne qofte se ishte ndonje tjeter ne vendin tim, kete gje do ta quante si dashuri rinie; mirepo une nuk e quaj, dhe as qe kam pse ta quaj ashtu. Po, mik, nuk e quaj: mbasi u njohem mire me Polen, ajo eshte sjelle me shume miqesi me mua, aq sa me se fundi pati guximin perpara familjes se saj te me jepte nje dhurate. Por kjo s’ka ndonje rendesi, mbasi dhurata nuk eshte gje tjeter, vecse nje shprehje adhurimi njerezor, nje pasterti zemre per njeri-tjetrin. Me vone miqesia u kthye jo ne dashuri familjare, por ne dashuri hice, ne dashuri te rreme, se brenda saj fshihej: “Te me dorrezohesh!”. Ajo e mendonte jeten, te ardhmen e saj te siguruar fare mire me mua; vec kesaj, nga qe jam i pashem dhe terheqes, ajo donte te mertohej me mua. Thurr e c’thur enderra lumturie, enderra martese. Shiko tani se ku qendronte dashuria e Poles: tek e ardhmja e saj: eshte i mire dhe nuk do vuaj: pra: ka dashuri! Kete “te me dorezohesh!”, e mbajti te mbyllur ne zemren e saj shume muaj, me shprese, se do t’ia thoja une me pare. Mirpo, kur pa, se s’ia varja veshin fare per kete pune, atehere u detyrua te ma thote vete kete gje. Por, fatkeqesi per te! - Pse nuk me dorezohesh? . . . - Pse nuk mund. . . pse kam tjeter! - Keto fjale te mia i rane si bombe. E po atehere? Atehere gjithe shpresa e saj e bukur u varros sa pa lindur dhe pastaj, duke mos ditur se si ta mbronte veten, filloi te qaje: qante zemra e saj me lejen e arsyes per lumturine e enderruar, qe i vdiq. Puna e saj eshte porsi nje vdekje. Kur vdes njeriu, qajme pse pa ate na cenohet disi rruga e jetes. Keshtu pra, Pola, nuk qau dashurine time, por kujtimin e lumturise se saj! Dhe me se fundi iku! Sikur te me dashuronte me te vertete, Pola, edhe kur ia tregova lajmin e fejeses, ajo duhej te me dashuronte ashtu sikurse e dua une, me gjithe qe jam i lidhur me Aferditen. Mirepo, ajo jo, me dashuronte deri sa e shihte se po shkonte mbare interesi i saj, por kur e pa se ai ngeci atehere ngeci dhe dashuria e saj.

Vern did not trust humans was the long and short of it. Not a single one. He had known many in his life, even liked a few, but in the end they all sold him out to the angry mob. Which was why he holed up in Honey Island Swamp out of harm's way. Vern liked the swamp okay. As much as he liked anything after all these years. Goddamn, so many years just stretching out behind him like bricks in that road old King Darius put down back in who gives a shit BC. Funny how things came back out of the blue. Like that ancient Persian road. He couldn't remember last week, and now he was flashing back a couple thousand years, give or take. Vern had baked half those bricks his own self, back when he still did a little blue-collar. Nearly wore out the internal combustion engine. Shed his skin two seasons early because of that bitch of a job. That and diet. No one had a clue about nutrition in those days. Vern was mostly ketogenic now, high fat, low carbs, apart from his beloved breakfast cereals. Keto made perfect sense for a dragon, especially with his core temperature. Unfortunately, it meant that beer had to go, but he got by on vodka. Absolut was his preferred brand. A little high on alcohol but easiest on the system.

Today, genetically modified ingredients are found in at least 75 percent of all non-organic U.S. processed foods, including in many products labeled as “natural” or “all natural.” But are they good for us? Our government says GMOs are no biggie, yet the European Union, Australia, and Japan have restricted or banned them. Based on animal research, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM), an international organization of physicians, has stated that there are serious health problems linked to eating genetically modified foods, such as infertility, immune system problems, accelerated aging, insulin problems, cholesterol regulation, gut problems, and organ damage.

No one likes when the fat girl talks about how miserable she is or how upset it makes her to be made fun of.  How much she wishes she was thin.  Because deep down…the attractive, slim people are judging you for putting yourself in the position you’re in.  Their mind is firing off thoughts like, ‘If she’s so unhappy, she should do something about it.’ Or— ‘If she would stop being lazy and work out and eat right, she’d lose the weight.’ And my new favorite, ‘She should try the new keto diet or get that lap band surgery.’  Maybe fat people don’t want to go on a new fad diet or have surgery.  Maybe going to the gym gives fat people an anxiety attack and causes them to give up before they even start…because half the people there are looking at us like we’re a fish out of water. While the other half are wondering how long we’ll last before we give up and head for the nearest McDonald’s.  Maybe fat people just want to be accepted…flaws and all.  Just like the rest of society. And maybe, just maybe—people should stop judging us.  Because every fat person will tell you…no one judges us harder than we judge ourselves.  We know exactly what that mirror is reflecting.  Every extra pound we shouldn’t have.  Every tear we’ve secretly shed in frustration and sadness.  Every diet we’ve tried, but ultimately failed at.  Every fear and insecurity plaguing us.  Every expectation we’ll never measure up to.  And it sucks.

Did you know that in 90% of cases, hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disease? Did you know that autoimmune thyroid disease is linked to a gluten intolerance? Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease are most likely caused by a gluten intolerance. What happens is that the molecular structure of gliadin (the protein in gluten) resembles the thyroid gland. If you don’t have a healthy intestinal lining, you can create holes; enter leaky gut syndrome. To review, leaky gut happens because food leaks into the bloodstream, and since your blood doesn’t know what the substances are, it puts your immune system into overdrive to kill the foreign substance (this is why I have my clients get a thyroid “antibody” test; it helps determine if there is a food allergy).

The ingestion of carbohydrates, especially the refined grains and sugars that are so prominent in the modern diet, causes a spike in blood sugar and a temporary energy boost. Then, because a glucose overdose is toxic in the bloodstream, insulin floods the bloodstream to remove any glucose you don’t burn immediately and stores it as either glycogen (in the liver and muscle tissues) or in the fat cells as triglyceride (the storage form of fat). When insulin removes glucose from your bloodstream and transports it into storage, you experience the familiar sugar crash and a craving for quick-energy carbohydrates. You have plenty of fat energy locked away in storage, but a high-insulin-producing diet prevents you from being able to access it. Instead, you become reliant on your next snack or meal for energy, and you exist in a state of carbohydrate dependency.

Eating an early dinner and closing the kitchen is a great way to increase the human growth hormone (the fat-burning hormone) while you sleep. Our hormones are what ultimately determine weight loss or gain. They go up and down throughout the day like waves of the ocean. Insulin and human growth hormone are antagonists, and since insulin is the stronger and more powerful hormone, it always wins. So if you eat carbohydrates, insulin rises and therefore shunts the rise of human growth hormone. The largest natural surge of human growth hormone is 30 to 70 minutes after you fall asleep, but if you just ate a bowl of ice cream or toast with peanut butter and honey (which was what I always did as a kid), you stop that precious fat-burning hormone from helping you burn fat. By the time you wake up in the morning, you still have glycogen in your liver. You haven’t burned any fat.

Saturated fats, like those in butter, coconut oil, and red meat, and monounsaturated fats, such as those found in avocados, olive oil, and macadamia nuts, are basically safe for consumption in terms of your health.

A high-fat diet in the presence of carbohydrate is different than a high-fat diet in the presence of low carbohydrate. – Dr. Richard Feinman

the major protective effect of ketosis is a significant reduction in glucose metabolism. This is the opposite of diabetes. – Dr. Charles Mobbs

Dr. Pescatore sees the ketogenic diet as a way to “enjoy life to the fullest and eat really well along the way.

Fat is not the enemy in your diet. Fat is your friend.

There is only about one teaspoon of sugar in your entire bloodstream.

you want to know your real risk of CAD, get a calcium score. This test is usually pretty cheap (about $100) and can be done at most imaging centers and clinics. • If your score is zero, great! Consider having a second test done in ten years or so. • If your score is high, we recommend starting a well-formulated ketogenic diet right away to lower inflammation, as well as supplementing with the MK7 form of vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 regulates calcium metabolism and helps get calcium where it should be—in your bones—and prevents it from forming as plaque in your arteries.

There are many ways to manage stress levels. One of the best is to take a vacation! On average, the United States has one of the lowest vacation rates in the developed world. Many countries have mandatory vacations of six weeks or more. For example, Germany mandates a minimum of thirty-four days of vacation and holidays, whereas France and New Zealand both require at least thirty days. Worse still is that many of us don’t even take the meager amount of vacation time we have earned! In 2016, 54 percent of Americans didn’t use all their vacation days, and more than one-third of those vacation days weren’t paid out or rolled over—meaning they were just surrendered. We Americans work hard and are very productive. We need to take the time we have earned to recharge our batteries and reduce stress, even if our vacation is a “staycation” (a vacation at home).

Many doctors will be able to help you get this test done, but if your doctor is resistant to ordering it or isn’t familiar with it, you can get it done on your own for about $200. Meridianfalleylab.com even

7-Keto-DHEA 75 to 100 mcg twice a day. Helps improve the conversion of T4 to T3 in tissues. Tyrosine 250 to 500 mg twice a day. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

Suprenza brand phentermine are found in 15 mg, 30 mg, or 37.5 mg orally dissolving tablets. They disintegrate under your tongue and are intended for people who have a hard time swallowing. I find this a little comical as the reason you may need phentermine in the first place is that you had no trouble swallowing too much food that led to weight gain.

Your body fat levels can increase through means that are beyond your control. Pollution is a major culprit here because it’s been shown to contain obesogenic compounds that promote the accumulation of body fat. And these compounds are making their way into our air and rivers. Pesticides also increase body fat as they run off into lakes and rivers after being sprayed on the food we eat. And, you encounter a large number of chemical body-fat-promoting compounds, referred to by scientists as obesogens, through plastic bottles, Styrofoam, shampoo, paints, carpeting, food preservatives, artificial ingredients, plastic shower curtains, antibacterial soap and Teflon cookware. Artificial obesogens are found in the special paper used for ATM and cash register receipts and even in the chemicals found in a new automobile that give it that “new car smell.

Here’s the truth of the matter: It’s not your fault that you don’t already have the body you want. It’s the weight loss industry’s fault.

Fat contains potential energy. Potential means “capable of being or becoming; possible but not actual.” Fat is potential energy because it is fuel that has not yet become energy. It is stored energy or reserve energy. The truth is you’re not really fat; you just have too much potential energy. Sounds better, doesn’t it? You should get a T-shirt that says, “I’m not FAT. I have lots of POTENTIAL ENERGY”!

Restriction of carbs Reducing carb intake to just digestible 20grams/day or lower which is a strictly low carb diet can improve the ketosis levels a lot. It is important to understand that fiber intake doesn’t have to be lowered as it is a beneficial nutrient. It is important to note that solely lowering carb consumption can result in ketosis and the rest of every measure taken for ketosis improvement ensures the success of ketosis.

Taking control of your health isn’t just about nutrition. There are actually four aspects to health that we think are most important: nutrition, movement, sleep quality, and stress management. We refer to these as the Four Pillars of Health. Each plays a vital role in overall health and wellness, as well as disease prevention and management.

When you use fat as the primary fuel source, it burns very clean, as opposed to burning sugar, which is a “dirty” fuel source. Glucose burns quickly and easily, but it also burns dirty via excessive production of free radicals. Think of burning fat as a natural gas stove and burning sugar (glucose) as burning firewood. The gas stove burns very clean with no smoke; the firewood creates massive amounts of toxic smoke.
