This is a retrospective write-up from notes I made at the time (about a month ago now), reconstructed as a narrative.
No spoilers, but my body fat seems to be disappearing at a fairly rapid rate despite me not even being able to stick to my half-arsed cargo cult version of ex150 (mainly because of social obligations; I have no problem sticking to it *per se*, it's dead easy. I can't remember the last time I felt hungry but my fat reserves are evaporating )
And ketosis seems to resolve all my remaining tiredness issues, which is both awesome and quite strange. I was not expecting that. I was not even really expecting ex150 to work for me either, but it sure seems to.
The only actual problem has been that the *second* time I went into ketosis I got a shocking headache that lasted all day, which I naively put down to having dumped all my electrolytes twice in three weeks. But swallowing a load of multi-vitamin-and-mineral pills seemed to fix that.
I'm currently happily ketoing alone on my narrowboat in the nature reserve in Wicken Fen, which means both that the muse of actually writing it up has space to sing, and that I may actually stick to the plan for a whole fortnight. (Sunday lunch yesterday with a friend in the Maid's Head *may* have involved a small number of roast potatoes, but that seems almost like sticking to it, from a certain point of view).
Endless inexhaustible energy. It's like being healthy again!
Sounds like a good plan. If you're talking of knees and tennis you're probably not an amateur powerlifter already (and won't balk at the low protein content of his diet). Given that you eat meat and don't want to restrict, the high fat low protein original keto diet would be the obvious choice even for nonmadlad internet advice.
Yes I think that's roughly what ex150 is, low carb, restricted protein, high saturated fat. So I'm going to (have already, busy writing it all up as a narrative now) try something like that.
The very model of a modern major general :D
Excited to hear how it goes for you.

Haha safe travels!
