ULC - ultra low carb (<30g net carbs - carbs minus fiber) per day. With the goal of teaching the body to use ketones for energy. All part of the experiment Carb Backloading Protocol. Very scientific approach, but I'm curious and have ~9 weeks to give it a solid run with evaluation.

Cool - don't think I could handle that at all with all my other diet restrictions, but props to you for trying it out.

No doubt Jim - it's a very scientific approach to nutrition and I feel like it's worth trying and running to program as written. I ran CBL without the prep phase and even then, got some excellent strength and recovery gains.

I have actually cut out starchy carbs out of my diet for the past few weeks and have not experienced any additional weight loss. I thought I would.

It is almost Paleo. Only meat, veggies, fruit, seeds. The only grain I have eaten is brown rice. I had to cut out all dairy, soy, and nightshade plants (which include potato's, tomato's, peppers, and tobacco incidently, which I don't smoke anyway), besides being gluten free. This is to eat for auto-immune. All of these foods are known to increase inflammation in people with auto immune issues. I am also on IF with a 7 hour eating window.

Wow, that sounds like quite the restrictive diet. But hey, if it's working for ya, I'm all for it. Have you noticed the fasting and change in diet helping?
