I listened to the below Rich Piana vid, while reading through the comments…
I’m fairly certain I posted something on this note in the past…
What if you can be in ketosis on a higher number of carbs than is generally accepted?
The ammonia smell is supposed to tie into ketosis…well I’ll tell you this I’ve smelt a lot of ammonia coming from myself… eating a large amount of carbs during hot weather while effortlessly dropping weight.
Unlike all the comments on the linked vid, I’m inclined to agree with the late Rich.
That commonly accepted 30 max grams of carbs a day…well some experts say 50…
I swear I’ve read someone say it could be as high as 100 grams daily…
Aren’t scientific studies generally done on the average person unless specifics exercise related and otherwise?
What’s the average person again?
Very sedentary.
Don’t you think for a couch potato to be in ketosis that it would require REALLY low carbs?
What about a highly active individual at the same bodyweight?
I’d guess the highly active individual to be in keto IS okay to have higher than that (likely arbitrary) guideline of 30 or 50 grams of carbs daily, but definitely a higher threshold for ketosis than a more sedentary individual.
Piana has a valid point that as a GIANT human, likely keto is keto at higher levels of carbs…
Shit some people could just be genetically prone to ketosis.
Bigger (especially muscle mass) and/or more active could equal to higher carb thresholds while still being in ketosis.
(Wouldn’t synthetic ketones allow higher carb ketosis too? Yes, there are synthetic ketones now.)
Food (meat, cheese) for thought.
