I need advice on the ketogenic diet.
I want to try it NOT for weight loss but to see if it will help with my neurological symptoms and anxiety.
1. Can a skinny guy go on the keto diet?
2. If I'm to consume 20 g of carbs a day, is that 20 g of carb sources (say 20 g of bread) or the actual amount of carbs in that food? I mean even high fat plain yogurt has carbs. When I eat yogurt do I count that in?
3. Same with protein. When I eat fish, do I just weigh the fish and that's my protein intake, or do I calculate the amount of protein in that fish?
4. How does MCT oil work? Can I have a breakfast with MCT oil as a part of it and maybe an egg on the side, or do I just eat the MCT oil and that's my breakfast?
Thanks,
