If ketosis corrects the fat mobilization problem allegedly created by pyruvate, then why wouldn't couldn't one consume any carbs such as brocolli or kale so long as one stays in ketosis??? I have been trying the Anchell method for only a few days so far to try and break a plateau and will report any weight loss. I am waiting a few more days to weigh myself. However, I do notice that potatoes and yams make me feel bloated and sluggish (too many carbs???), so I have dropped them and am sticking to the anchell-allowed fruits. Also, I have noticed that I simply have no control whatsoever over butter consumption. I had been avoiding butter b/c it is non-paleo, but bought some to put on the potatoes & yams. But once I had it again, I just couldn't seem to have only a little. Rather, I consumed tons of it! Any thoughts on what's going on here?? Fat is usually very satiating. I have been eating fatty cuts of meat, so it can't be that my diet was too low in fat. Could it be a food sensitivity? I've read on this list that many people with food sensitivities seem to crave the very foods they're sensitive to such as wheat or sugar. I know that pre-paleo, I used to have a terrible time controlling myself around cheese. So maybe the dairy, even in the form of butter, is a problem for me. Anway, I am nixxing the butter along with the potatoes and yams. Other than that, I have also noticed that my bowel movements have slowed considerably on the anchell diet. Presumably this is because I am ingesting so little fiber. I am wondering if this is harmful on a long-term basis or if I am just brainwashed by the pro high fiber propaganda in the media. I have been taking extra magnesium oxide (up to 1,200 mg) help with the constipation. Anyone know if high amounts of magnesium oxide poses any danger?? Anchell says nothing about fiber or constipation. He does harp on the notion that meat is efficiently utilized by the body, so if he is correct, perhaps there simply isn't much to excrete the way there is with what he terms "indigestible" vegetables. Interestingly, Anchell also doesn't mention ketosis.
