Why are Silicon Valley billionaires starving themselves?
Dorsey recently appeared on the Ben Greenfield Fitness podcast to explain his monkish lifestyle in more detail than the 240 character blasts he’s known for sending out to the less biologically enlightened universe. He says he eats only one meal a day in the week and doesn’t let any foodstuff pass his lips at the weekend. He also starts every day with an ice bath. “Nothing has given me more mental confidence than being able to go straight from room temperature into the cold,” he says. And, rain or shine, he walks the five miles from his home to his office. It’s all part of his ever-evolving quest to keep his brain functioning at maverick CEO level. And, I suppose, outlive anyone silly enough to think that eating regular, balanced meals is sensible.
I have tried the Keto diet below, almost no sugar at all, no bread, no fruit, no juice, no rice and no pasta. What happened, no hunger, big mental clarity and no sleepiness during the day. Why didn't i stick to it? because for a cyclist you need peak power sometimes and the Keto is a diesel thing. If you want to be productive all day Keto is very appropriate. You eat less you feel great and you do good for the environment. If you need to do a sprint, peak effort you can't do Keto.
Ketogenic Diet Breakdown, By Hana Hamzic
The ketogenic diet is a strict low-carb, high-fat diet. The main purpose of this diet is to induce ketosis – a metabolic state where the body goes from burning glucose to burning fat for fuel.
The reason why your body burns fat in the absence of glucose is to provide energy for your cells but also to produce ketones, mostly to fuel your brain. Ketones are water-soluble molecules that replace glucose when carb intake is low. You can read more about them here.
The main benefit of this diet is weight loss. Other keto benefits include the following:
- Mental clarity
- Improved energy
- Cancer Prevention
- Improvement in neurological conditions (epilepsy, Alzheimer's, migraines, etc.)
- Appetite suppression
- Diabetes control
- Cholesterol reduction
- Hormonal balance
