Good morning, buddies! 😀 Beware of any calls you may get from "Supremo". I got a call yesterday from someone who claimed to be from the company stating that I was entitled a refund for some tech support that I received over a year ago. They told me to go to my computer & download the Supremo app so that they could send me the appropriate form to fill out. Naturally, they were going to need my credit card info to apply it. I hung up, and called the company. It was definitely a scam. It may not be diet related, but I just wanted to make my buddies aware that people aren't as honest as they used to be! The world has changed.
Now, for the diet related part. I just want to make sure that all of my buddies on the ketogenic diet know that most amino acids are ANTI ketigenic.
All tissues have some capability for synthesis of the non-essential amino acids, amino acid remodeling, and conversion of non-amino acid carbon skeletons into amino acids and other derivatives that contain nitrogen. However, the liver is the major site of nitrogen metabolism in the body. In times of dietary surplus, the potentially toxic nitrogen of amino acids is eliminated via transaminations, deamination, and urea formation; the carbon skeletons are generally conserved as carbohydrate, via gluconeogenesis, or as fatty acid via fatty acid synthesis pathways. In this respect amino acids fall into three categories: glucogenic, ketogenic, or glucogenic and ketogenic. Glucogenic amino acids are those that give rise to a net production of pyruvate or TCA cycle intermediates, such as 2-oxoglutarate (α-ketoglutarate) or oxaloacetate, all of which are precursors to glucose via gluconeogenesis. All amino acids except lysine and leucine are at least partly glucogenic. Lysine and leucine are the only amino acids that are solely ketogenic, giving rise only to acetyl-CoA or acetoacetyl-CoA, neither of which can bring about net glucose production.

Have a great day, buddies!

Good morning, buddies! 😀
As a lot of you know, I spend A LOT of time researching. This morning, I ran across "The Blood Type Diet". Has anyone else heard of this? I took a look, and the thoughts on my blood type (B) seem to be right on point! I've always said that my grandmother's German genes are very dominant in my children and myselves skin color. Quite interesting read to me!
I'd love to hear what you think of your own details on diet and lifestyle suggested by your blood type. Here's the link:
