Yes! Doing very low carb had given me huge energy boots compared to when I fall off the wagon. Just itching to get out and go
Lchf vs carnivore, I think I have the same Energy either way.
After 3 months I think I top out my vim and vigor.
Whhaaat---you got energy boots? All I rolled was high uric acid.
Serious though, I felt like my gas tank would empty a lot quicker. I always hoped it would give me that kind of boost, but the closest I got was a tangential motivational boost from dropping pesky weight that I had trouble dropping otherwise--the flirt with gout (with what I was eating, anyway) did happen though.
I had gout while I was on carbs, I couldn't go off allopurinol until I had given up carbs completely. Now I haven't had any medications for ages.
A thing I have heard, but I can't place where, is that all the super muscle youtube carnivores have high uric acid, so there's a hypothesis that success in strength training is better with high uric acid.
Anyway eating only ~~meat~~ animal sourced foods (I also eat eggs) appears to protective against gout, I still have high uric acid, as bad as when I put on allopurinol, but now I don't get gout.
Gout goes hand in hand with insulin resistance. Uric acid by itself is not a problem, in fact its necessary for the functioning of a healthy body (peoples bodies produce something like 8x more uric acid a day then you could possibly eat), its the ability of the body to regulate it and prevent it from precipitating into the joints that is the major issue with gout.
It's nice to see recent stuff on gout, when I last looked into it there was nothing you could base food decisions on since before the invention of allopurinol
The old stuff right before all research stopped pointed the finger at sugar
Yeah! Sugar is the enemy, for gout Fructose and Alcohol are the super enemies!
I haven't had a problem with alcohol, except one occasion when the alcohol had sugar in it
How long were you doing lchf? Did you measure your ketones?
There is data showing that lchf can be protective against gout, I can dig it up if your interested
