Excerpt from United States Senate document #264:
"It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99 percent of the American people are deficient in these minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one or more of the important minerals actually results in disease. Any upset of the balance, any considerable lack of one or another element, however microscopic the body requirement may be, and we sicken, suffer, shorten our lives."
I've only been doing keto for about 2 months or so and intermittent fasting for about a year. But I've already noticed my sweet receptors getting reprogrammed, or deprogrammed I guess? I had my usual sugary coffee creamer the other day because I ran out of heavy cream and found it was actually too sweet, almost gross? definitely not as delicious as the heavy cream with stevia and vanilla I have been using.
Also find myself craving for that higher fat content as the old creamer tasted watery and unsatisfying, wasn't cheap stuff either. I won't be doing keto forever, I think its best as a course correction for basically everything wrong with modern diets. Carbs will definitely have a reduced representation in my diet for the future though.
