Beauty of a zc lifestyle is there are 'no intake levels', there is 'no play on fat added', there is NO anything.
See with zero carb ONE MUST eat as needed.
This will vary per individual as an absolute in that we all come from so many variables (med troubles and more per person) in that Meat/Seafood/ and dairy ONLY if you can tolerate it and not allergic....that will make your journey in your own time transitioning.
There is no keto this or that better.
There is no 'level' of ketosis ever.
There is no absolutely playing 'the ketosis game' ever cause a zc person is a ketone burning body only and this whole line means nothing (which is hard to grasp but the truth)
There is NO great nutrition from kale or mushrooms because they are not protein based carbs and are in NO way needed for the body....in fact the body finds the 'truth of the toxicity levels' (again, which are hard to find if you research it but it can be found)
and a carb from a plant will never equal a carb from a protein (meat/seafood) source.
There is nothing needed on ZC other than meat and seafood and if ya want to go a bit into 'non-optimal' you can do manufactured cheese, manufactured bacon, manufactured sausage etc. but if you go off the basics you then have to see how it affects you personally.
In truth a zc true lifestyle is absolute means none of the 'game of keto etc' matters and ever will.
very hard concept to get in the brain and very hard to let loose of the 'we must do XYZ' and tweak, find, change, get the best nutrition we 'think we know what the body wants' but we don't
, bang for our buck cause if you eat protein carbs as the body wants, as in meat/seafood, only then you found the the zc way and the best science movement forward. (kinda think we know LC is good, so how good of an lc way is best....no carb is best if we follow this trail)
Anyone going zc can have a hard journey point blank. (personal life and med troubles) but with GIVEN LONG time on strict zc the changes will come but does anyone? ever? want to put in this time? Nope. quick fix and there is never one and won't be but the one thing I learned is science behind the truth of how a body wants to eat and a 'carb based' BS eating solution doesn't cut the science of what the body wants.
for every toxic veg you eat, you rob the body and while you think you are 'getting the great from it' it actually cancels each other out.....and your BS rises due to carb intake.
so if you elim. all carbs in all forms but from protein? where do you stand? At the front door of true health! Now how far does one go? One can only go as far as they deem fit and make it work in their life. Some got that 'extra factor' of carb control I never had. ZC was the only way I could eat the best I ever ate, all the meat/seafood, butter if wanted, some cheese etc, bacon by the boat load if ever wanted AND NEVER FEEL hungry and then get energy thru the roof and mental clarity and omgosh such a better life. Well I found my science and the truth of it all and I applied this to me.
thing is some have longer journeys making the switch but a zc total lifestyle gives back in the end, a 'carb/sugar' life is true poison and will never give back cause we always fight against it, have to tweak it, pretend we can control it.
I love this chat with you
it is all about chatting out the science and more and how we see thing and what we learned thru research and 'what we unlearned' thru science truth of it all and HOW we must get thru our lives to make it work that is so appealing of a discussion
it is a great chat
