Thanks for the thought-out comment. Yeah it's interesting that we domesticated both the endurance side-kick and the ambush ratter to mutually benefit the whole trio. What a great relationship to observe in superspeed over millenia heh.
I hope you doctor knows what she/he is doing! sounds rought. I like to have at least 100lbs of body fat, you know, just in case...
yeah @mobbs my doctor is a bit of a lean mean machine himself. He knows what he's doing. I've calculated that I still have about 70-80 lbs in extreme reserve, based on my fighting weight ;)
I also don't have the endurance muscle fibres. I'm like a Cheetah. perhaps we had different strategies. I couldn't run down an Impala over a whole day let alone a few days. I think weapons were perhaps the real magic bullet we no doubt learned how to throw or sling a stone, millions of years ago and a well placed rock would stun an animal, just long enough to run over and smack it ! :) would be great to see it all speeded up.. we kind of can through fossils
Sounds like a ketogenic diet! Your doctor understands human nutrition, so I would say you're in good hands.
ketogenic indeed. not the best fun and I'm kind of returning slowly to a normal diet over the next couple of months. Let's just say it's been an experience.
Never even heard of it! Primarily used to treat epilepsy in children? That's something I should look up more!
it's designed to make your body switch from glucose to burning fat as a primary fuel. the ketogenic diet was used from the 1920's onwards as a way to reduce convulsion in epileptic patients. That's not why I was asked to go on it and a ketogenic diet should only be maintained under medical supervision.
