#transhumanism This is an experiment, I am not dogmatically believing in [[Ketogenic]] diet or in other word, low [[Carbohydrate]] diet. # My experiment (one year and a half) TLDR Evolution: <div style="float: left; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;">![[Pasted image 20210726091708.png|200]] -></div><br><div style="float: left; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;">![[Pasted image 20210726091715.png|200]] </div> i.e. no difference ?!? (body score is complete garbage based on society consensus on health) ![[Pasted image 20210725123121.png]] I'll list the visible pros and cons, why visible? Because obviously our senses are complete garbage, we miss a lot of things, and the invisible might be much more important than the visible. ## First year The tendency is the following, I reduced to under 5 grams of [[Carbohydrate]] per day, increased a lot my [[Nucleic acid]] consumption and kept my [[Biology/Macromolecule/Protein|protein]] at the same level. ### Physical activity - One hour and a half intense swimming-pool swimming (one or two times) a week - Infrequent walks ### Frequency - Stop eating breakfast - Infrequent [[Fasting]] (from 24h to 72h, rarely) ### Visible pros - An excuse to say no to garbage "food" - [[Mind]] is much clearer, especially because of [[Fasting]] which has double effect of not thinking about eating and [[The stomach is the first brain]]. ### Visible cons - Increased body fat: from 10% to 14% (using Xiaomi scale) - Social friction (which reduces over time, only with [[Compound relationship]]s, when people get more open [[Mind]]ed) ### Conclusion Disturbing increased belly fat, will attempt slight changes. Overall great. ## One year and a half After one year, I reduced [[Nucleic acid]] to the benefit of [[Biology/Macromolecule/Protein|protein]]. This [[Decision making]] was inferred because of some poor visible results, i.e. basically the next step of the experiment, in an [[Evolution]]ary process fashion. ### Physical activity - Five minutes [[Resistance training]] a day - Infrequent walks - Removed swimming ### Frequency - Still not eating breakfast - Infrequent fasting (from 24h to 72h, rarely) ### Visible pros - A lot more muscles (ironical, less time spent on workout = more muscles, intensity > length) - Still an excuse to say no to garbage "food" - [[Mind]] is much clearer, especially because of [[Fasting]] which has double effect of not thinking about eating and [[The stomach is the first brain]]. ### Visible cons - Still some social friction, but I found tricks to pally that ### Conclusion High [[Biology/Macromolecule/Protein|protein]] diet is more interesting? ## Conclusion - Not planning to change overall low [[Carbohydrate]] diet anytime yet. - [[Biology/Macromolecule/Protein|protein]] > [[Nucleic acid]]. - [[Lack of randomness]] in my diet, will attempt intermittent diet changes, while keeping the low carb diet overall ## Notes - I avoid seed [[Refined oils]] like the plague, and modern food is bathing in it - my protein is 75% animal (preferably fish), I'll soon try eating insects. My non-animal protein is chia seed, raw cocoa fever and some diary (french cheese 🥰) - I drink a lot of matcha tea and herbal tea, some coffee when [[Fasting]] (supposedly increase [[Autophagy]])
