About to put in some unofficial exercise today for the first time in 84 days and mow the lawn. Might even make some vitamin D3 while I'm at it, and I despise being in the sun.
I still have approximately 161 days until my deadline. Put those ketones to real use, eh? I hate that word: exercise. I used to be an advocate of exercise, but not so much anymore. Maybe I'm getting old, mentally speaking.

Fasting can increase lifespan as well as delay diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and neuro-degenerative and respiratory failures related to aging? Interesting...
Can't say I didn't already know this, but at least I now have science to back me up. Maybe I'm on the right track when I practice intermittent fasting combined with a ketogenic diet?
"
Sir2 (the mammalian homolog is SIRT1) is a nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide-dependent histone deacetylase that interacts with numerous transcription factors to silence gene transcription. Sir2 is upregulated by CR and is required for life-span extension effects of CR in Caenorhabditis elegans (reviewed in [6]). mTOR is a serine/threonine kinase that is activated by insulin, nutrients, and growth factors and is a central regulator of ribosome biogenesis, protein synthesis, and cell growth. Inhibition of mTOR increases life span in Drosophila and C. elegans (reviewed in [16]).
"
Aside from the scientific jargon, for people with less than a triple-digit IQ, it basically means to stop eating food that increases the IGF-1 (insulin growth factor - 1) and you may live longer, but that doesn't guarantee that someone else won't break into your house and murder you (but that's besides the point and beyond the scope of this discussion).
Now I know why everyone wants to have a "higher metabolism" and run on treadmills in the gym like a hamster on a wheel after they've eaten tons of fattening carbs thinking exercise is the answer to a longer life. It's a temporary solution to a bigger problem. They're not entirely aware of why they "need" a higher metabolism. It's because they're eating foods that causes them to "need" it in the first place. Stop the cause and you'll stop the need. Simple as that.
A higher metabolism doesn't necessarily extend lifespan (under natural circumstances, such as the wild), a lower metabolism does [see reference], it actually makes life shorter by increasing the rate of telomere separation (in your DNA) via "higher metabolisms" when you constantly induce unconventional stress into your body, such as exercise and eating stress inducing foods.
Basically this is the human's (specifically American) version of the the hamster's wheel: Eat more calories, exercise more, eat more calories, repeat history, develop preventable chronic illnesses when you're older, rely on Obamacare, die from one of the many preventable chronic diseases as terminal illness. The human's version of the hamster's wheel.

I'm gonna have to cut
all
nuts and legumes/beans out of my life, including peanuts (which is technically a legume/bean).
It seems that peanuts are inflammatory to me and I develop some sort of inflammation whenever I eat a handful of peanuts. It's part of the the reason why I stopped eating pecans, which used to be one of my favorite nuts to munch on. I get all kinds of inflammation when eating tree nuts and legumes/beans (and yes, this includes coffee beans, any bulletproof coffee drinkers out there?)
It makes a lot of sense though. No seed wants to be eaten and digested by an animal. The purpose of every seed is to grow into a new plant, therefore it creates phytic acid, anti-nutrients, and other poisons that blocks absorption in the digestive system.
Even if you don’t have an anaphylactic response to peanuts, your body may recognize them as foreign invaders and create an inflammatory response. One of the most concerning toxins associated with peanuts is a mold that produces aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a known carcinogen associated with liver cancer.

Some of my old quotes when I was feeling those ketones lighting up my brain for the first time in 2014.
The older I get, the more life confuses me.
The love of truth is greater than the love of money.
Wisdom is just confirmation of past mistakes that have been corrected.
Intelligence is the enemy of faith, while creativity is the source of life.
Pain is a reminder that we're not immortal, at least not physically.
Instant pleasure is a temporary fix for a long-term problem.
There are no short-cuts in life. All great rewards in life requires great effort.

As you can see, my calories shot up to
3,400+ calories
while keeping carbs
under 50 grams
. It's not that hard to resist the urge to stuff your face with carbs if you're a keto-veteran like me.
For people who make excuses to consume even fake sweeteners, you're setting yourself up for failure. I don't eat anything that reactivates my sweet-tooth, so I have no desire to eat carbs at all.
Who says the keto diet has to be low calorie? Look at my calories, it fluctuates worse than the stock market.
It's all about the macro ratios, in this case, the keto diet maintains that at least 70% of my total calories be fat. Calorie counting is obsolete. Welcome to the new age of old school dieting.
