Yeah, I've done keto with the wrong fats. I think Im now purging all that stored nonsense off. I lost weight since a bit before writing this thread, to a few weeks ago. I actually think I gained a little weight since starting this PUFA depletion phase, which is 2% calories from fat. I think its a protective mechanism against all the PUFA Im liberating. This is somewhat expected, and Im ok with it. The goal is health, and Im choosing to get to max health quickly (speed will always come with caveats...)I need to lose probably 70 pounds if I'm being honest, maybe more. I've done low carb in the past, but also filled with pufa since I didn't know better.
You aren't the only one here who has used a higher fat diet to lose weight and I have reached out to a few. So far you are the first to respond. Thank you for that.
I found the book on Amazon for less than $20, so I'll have it on Monday. I am hypo and probably am not yet taking enough thyroid. I started progesterone about 6 weeks ago.
How many months did you lose weight? And have you gained now that you are doing the depletion phase?
