Hi everyone, Im 7 days in to the leptin rx. I havent eaten grains for 7 days (after being a huge grain addict for my whole life - im 32 and live in the UK).

I eat a grass fed steak with butter half hour after waking, another steak with salmon, nori and vegetables for lunch 5 hours later (a parsnip, carrot, and kale), and grass fed beef mince cooked in butter 5 hours after that.

I had huge lags in mental clarity up until two days ago when I increased my meat intake with another steak. But im still struggling with brain power. I feel as though I dont have enough fuel to focus and think.

Does this mean I need more fat, protein or something else?

Or should I eat the larger meal for breakfast instead of lunch? Or is there something im missing?

Thank you everyone

 

It is more about oil than protein.
1/2 cup of olive or avocado oil may help.

..

 

oil as opposed to fat? I'll add some in today and see how I go. Thank you

 

Note that
bacon fat
olive oil
avocado oil
have similar portions of
oleic acid
......
Hydrogen (H) from fatty acids (mostly oleic acid) is used in synthesis of matrix water.
To live we must make 7400 liters (thousands) daily of matrix water when at rest. Up to 3x that much when running from the lion.

so oleic acid is imperative for making ddw in our mitochondria? To increase our redox potential?

 

This is my own guess, I have not seen this stated directly.

Check your oleic acid levels,
-------------------------------------------------
Overall, study your own fatty acids
It is better to study a more complete fatty acids list like Patricia Kane does.
If not, then at least
Fatty Acid Profile, Comprehensive (C8-C26), Serum

At minimum
DHA
AA
Oleic acid

When you consider the 7400 liters of metabolic water, which is another way of saying that every time blood makes one full circle in our body, new blood is being made from freshly synthesized matrix water.
When H+H+O are joined to make that water, energy is released.
That is a huge amount of energy.
You can no longer say that (when at rest) we are running our life using say 1500callories.
That is almost nothing when compared to the energy that we are actually using.
That energy can lit 1358 sodium street lamps (while we are resting).
You can lit a good size city using that amount of energy.
