Ketone Supplements
Anyone take any supplements? What do you like or dislike about them?

I don't take them and don't know who does. If you are doing a ketogenic diet for weight loss, and if your stats are correct, you are, exogenous ketones stop weight loss. The reason is explained by Craig Emmerich in the book, Keto.

If you want to use ketone supplements for epilepsy, Alzheimer's, etc, there are some preliminary studies worth exploring. Even then, be careful you are buying the real deal, not that from MLM schemes. I make my own ketones by eating less than 20g carbs, a guarantee you will be in ketosis and start burning your own body fat for fuel. You do need to count carbs. |
I looked back through my calendar to see when I bought my first exogenous ketones for BPC. Seems it was about a year ago.
This is what I'd like to report: I have had NO weight loss despite being strictly OP most of the year and in ketosis. As a matter of fact, I've even gained weight and I've been struggling to find out why. It's quite possible that BPC and the MCT oils are my problem. Janet has given some good advice. |
I like to take a tablespoon of MCT oil in the morning sometimes. I make sure I eat right after or I get an upset tummy at times. I find it clears my head in the morning - but it doesn't always work out that way.
