This past Friday I started on the keto diet (06-15-2018).
[disclaimer: this is a short article about my experience with the keto diet. If you don’t know what keto is, then check out this literature to get up to speed first: https://www.perfectketo.com/guide/the-ketogenic-diet/]
Opting for keto may seem like an unusual choice for a busy CEO — after all, carbs and sugars have been powering my brain for the past many years and got me here. But the reality is ketosis (the metabolic state that a keto diet brings a person into), though it’s dificult to adhere to, may be a more efficient way of delivering energy to the body and mind than carb-driven metabolic states. I’m keen to see if I can reap benefits of additional energy with keto.
Another common misconception for keto is that the food can seem too plain to be appetizing. But with the right cooking it’s pretty awesome — here’s my keto menu for this month: https://www.pinterest.com/0y8nzgm6wxbn25r/keto-menu/ Let me know what you think.
Lastly, lots of cryptocurrency folks are into the diet. Including Zooko Wilcox who founded ZCash. And Jeffrey Paul, aka sneak, who was the first person to give me a full download of its benefits. H/t, sneak. The popularity of keto among such a demographic could be a valuable indication.
I’ve never succeeded fully with sustaining keto but now I’m prepared to do it well for a few months.
What was your experience with keto?
