But it's not the end of the story. As one becomes insulin sensitive, endogenous ketone production becomes lower, so optimizing endogenous ketones is not the end game. I also like his comments about exogenous ketones. While they could be useful in some health applications, the real story is that producing them naturally through dietary adjustments is likely the most healthy way.

Dr. Ted Naiman is an advisor with Marty, and his P:E diet one of the "recipe" books...so there is a great deal of overlap with Nutrient Optimization. I did well enough using the tips from https://www.lowenergydiet.com which isn't that much different from Dr. Westman's Phase 3 (it has unlimited vegetables and some yogurt) https://www.amazon.com/End-Your-Car...e/dp/1628604298
I vaguely set Net Carbs at 15%,* all from vegetables and fermented dairy, but still not using Cronometer and not tracking. The diet is similar to the 2010 New Atkins for a New You where I started this journey!...in that even when limited to 20g net carbs, 15 of those had to come from "foundation vegetables", many of which had a lot of fiber. But I love having more veg, and more dairy enhanced with protein powders, so am looking forward to the new DDF tomorrow.
* Marty suggests a minimum 15% carbs in the DDF instructions because that allows enough vegetables to obtain micronutrients. |
