I tried butter instead a few times, but that makes me very hungry. While the coconut oil in green tea is an appetite KILLER.

There's still much to learn from Sean's findings regarding elevated TG after coffee. He's controlled for fat, but I'm wondering what in the coffee causes this. I would have assumed caffeine, but he tested decaf (there's still small amounts of caffeine in decaf) with similar results, so is it something about the coffee? I'd like to see the same experiment done with green and black tea.
Thud - you're doing a far more disciplined protein N=1 than I did. After researching Naiman's and Bikman's findings about protein consumption for those already on a low carb (non-SAD) WOE, I bumped up my daily protein intake a good amount, and I was still getting good blood ketone measurements (above 0.5 and up to 2.1). Also, you're eating (on your eating days) more protein than I did. I figured that per ounce of meat (beef, pork, chicken, salmon, etc.), I was loosely calculating about 7 grams of protein per ounce of meat. I realize that there are differences in actual protein content per ounce among protein types, but I was doing a very loose calculation, so it probably evened out ultimately. Given that my weight is right around 185 ideally, that indicates I can eat up to 26 ounces of meat per day using the 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal weight calculation. Typically I'm eating anywhere between 18 to 24 ounces of meat depending on the day where mostly or all carnivore days protein consumption is at the higher range. Sometimes I eat a lot of beef and nothing else. When I measured, true to Naiman's and Bikman's findings, I still was producing ketones in a good range for a fat burner. Interesting stuff, and each one of us will get different results, but you are learning a lot about yourself and staying pretty rigorous in this N=1. Valuable information.
