Lower Carb Huel / Keto

50g is the absolute highest threshold I’ve ever seen recommended.

Yeap it’s why I said it’s why said general cutoff. People new to keto will likely need a lower amount, it’s not a recommendation because I wouldn’t recommend a diet to anyone without a detailed history and background,

@IcyElemental

there’s a decent body of evidence to suggest this process of gluconeogenesis is demand-driven, not supply-driven, so even fairly high protein intakes of ~200+g per day are unlikely to have much of an impact.

Yes I agree, but I’d argue it’s still not entirely clear. Therefore if you want to err on the side of caution for a lower carb intake the same should be done for a lower protein intake. Everything can be made more flexbile by testing blood ketones.

I will try soo Black Huel and see if it works in my keto diet with the tricks you shared in the article. I really need some food support like Huel in my Keto journey.

Good luck!

@airiartev

but it would have been great, even for people that werent on keto.

I’m not sure I agree with this. A super high fat intake doesn’t confer any benefits (that I’m aware of). It’s a bit too niche at the moment and requires an all or nothing approach. I’m not sure how we’d communicate to consumers that “Huel Keto” is best used as part of a ketogenic diet especially when a lot of people (you and Joe not included) don’t follow a keto diet when they think they are.

@airiartev

Do you have the macro distribution of Black UU?

Good question! It’s roughly 14:41:41:4.
