Used bacon grease in both the RibEye and Liver. I started eating liver because I looked into it's nutritional content. This thing should be considered a #SuperFood
Here are the nutrients found in a 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving of beef liver (1): Vitamin B12: 3,460% of the RDI. Vitamin B12 helps the formation of red blood cells and DNA. It is also involved in healthy brain function (2). Vitamin A: 860–1,100% of the RDI. Vitamin A is important for normal vision, immune function and reproduction. It also helps organs like the heart and kidneys function properly (3). Riboflavin (B2): 210–260% of the RDI. Riboflavin is important for cellular development and function. It also helps turn food into energy (4). Folate (B9): 65% of the RDI. Folate is an essential nutrient that plays a role in cell growth and the formation of DNA (5). Iron: 80% of the RDI, or 35% for women of menstruating age. Iron is another essential nutrient that helps carry oxygen around the body. The iron in liver is heme iron, the kind most easily absorbed by the body (6, 7). Copper: 1,620% of the RDI. Copper acts like a key to activate a number of enzymes, which then help regulate energy production, iron metabolism and brain function (8). Choline: Liver provides all of the Adequate Intake (AI) for women and nearly all of it for men (AI is used because there is insufficient evidence to set an RDI). Choline is important for brain development and liver function (9, 10). #LCHF #intermittentfasting #ketogenicdiet #ifastloca

Guess what I just got! Been working with some friends on some #LCHF #Keto #lifestyle compliant snacks. Today I got the first sample! Composition varies depending on goal but it also satisfies your cravings #ifastloca
Ok so my 72 hr Fasting experiment finished. I did this by serendipity since I was not expecting to do a 3 day fast.
Personal Reason: Theories regarding longevity, DNA Repair, microbiome modification, metabolic flexibility.
For my Patients:
As a physician applying #intermittentfasting on patients is very helpful. This can improve #insulinresistance and it is how I have been reverting #diabetes in combination with #LCHF reaching episodes of #ketosis aka #ifastloca I use myself as an example to show them it can be done. Baby steps and guidance is key
#Fasting can be done in any particular diet but doing it in #ketosis is super easy. I started with a 16/8 hour window then increased to 18/6 then 24/4 eventually reaching OMAD one meal a day or 24 hr fast.
Could I have kept going yes. I felt great. Why didn't I ? I craved 🥓 haha Naa the real reason is that I need to be convinced that there are benefits from 3 days to 5 days for longevity purposes.
I have been doing #intermittentfasting with a #VLCHF diet for 8 months now. Recently some days with #ZeroCarbs #Carnivorediet (2 weeks eating about 2.2 lbs of red meat per day) Myrevious labs showed Triglycerides 90s HDL of 70 and LDL of 75. For some reason this Monday I decided to try a 3 Day Fast since I noticed I was not hungry.
For those that follow me because of #ifastloca this is not a Strict ketogenic diet like everyone tells you to follow counting macros. I find counting macros a pain in the butt. I only focus on staying below 30gr of carbs and the rest I eat as I please. I use IF to achieve ketosis and achieve metabolic flexibility. #Health
48 Hour mark 24 hrs left.
These are my last 3 readings. Got one strip left so will likely do it at a 72 hr mark. Ketones up from .8 at 24hrs to 1.5 at 48hrs. Glucose Completely stable between 93-99 even with a 48 hr fast.
Having said that. I had to use 2 Boullion cubes at 48hrs because I felt salt depleted (mild nagging Headache). 24 hrs left 😁 and now time for some #Yoga #intermittentfasting #Lchf #ketogenicdiet #ifastloca
