US Army going keto?

Thanks for the correction and the target figures in your previous post. I had no idea the fat % was so high.

TBH, after a while I just kind of tuned the keto stuff out because the way Ben Greenfield (whose podcast I listened to) described his system, it's quite a bit of work, regular blood tests, long list of supplements, etc. I'm guessing you don't go through all that?

I'm figuring the guy sells books and supplements, so makes it a bit harder than it would be for a non-elite athlete who isn't competing in iron man type events....

It's really not even remotely that complicated. No regular blood tests, or any blood tests, for that matter. No extra supplements except, perhaps, for some apple cider vinegar and cream of tartar for minerals.

I use urine strips and they tell me exactly where I am in about 10 seconds.

Any schmuck can use it and use it successfully. Elite athelets need not apply.

Coffee is one of my bad weaknesses. I just love a 'mocha' in the morning, and it's strong coffee with two TBS or so of dark powdered cocoa mixed half/half with sweet ground chocolate from Ghirardelli, and some cream or half and half of course. I just have one/day, then if I drink more coffee it's black, or maybe with a little cream, but I know starting off with a shot of sugar and fat isn't the best thing...

It's not the fat, it's just the sugar.
Of course it may not be affecting you like it does me, as I am a diabetic.
But if you can acclimate your palate to accept stuff like Stevia powder in place of the sugar you'll probably be a lot better off in the long run.
