The interplay of exercise and ketosis – Part II
You’ll recall from last week’s post I did a self-experiment to see if I could learn something about the interplay of exercise and ketosis, at least in myself. To understand this discussion, you’ll want to have read Part I of this post. However, before getting to this, I want to digress and briefly address two…
The interplay of exercise and ketosis – Part I
I embarked on a self-experiment last weekend to see if I could better understand the interplay between the different types of exercise I do and ketone production (beta-hydroxybutyrate, or B-OHB, to be specific). To be clear, nothing I do with a sample size of one “proves” anything, but sometimes self-experiments can help you formulate hypotheses…
Sugar 101 – How harmful is sugar?
Any discussion on the culpability of poor nutrition as the cause of our health woes begins with a discussion on sugar.
