My Experience in Body Composition and Metabolism, Maintaining a GKI Below 1.0
I am just sharing a thought.
I have been tracking my GKI for nearly two years, and meticulously tracking macro and micro nutrients all along the way.
I've documented nearly all of my personal (my body) research, and there are a few main things I learned; maybe it will prove helpful for someone else:
(1) There are no two bodies that are exactly identical in metabolization of foods and fluids. This seems pretty obvious, but i mean there are specific foods that person A can each, and maintain a GKI below 1.0, and person B eats the same exact foods (even given BMI, age, rest, stress, etc are nearly the same,) and they could have very different GKIs.
(2) There are SO MANY hidden chemicals, compounds and potential carbs in over-the-counter and restaurant foods. Example, some olive oils throw me out of a GKI below 1.0. And allulose also throws me out of a GKI below 1.0.
(3) I also eat about 50-100 g of organic dark leafy greens daily; I do this for my own personal reasons: fiber and detoxification (fat holds and stores chemicals, this is well documented.) I have found that any added inorganic chemicals (such as processed foods or from pesticides) interrupt my GKI. This doesn't exclude specific cleaning products, soaps and airborne sprays.
(4) Eat and cook in the most traditional and basic form possible. Use minimal ingredients, despite the urge to use any sweeteners (even if non glycemic.) Some "non glycemic" sweeters also throw me out of a GKI below 1.0. Beware of "KETO FRIENDLY" labels--mostly totally false advertising.
(5) Try to walk 2-3 miles a day; I've directly observed, even with higher calories and protein intake, my GKI drops below 1.0 with ease, keeping in an 80/15/5 (fat, protein, carbs) ratios. And it doesn't hurt to light fast for a good length, daily (electrolytes, water, tea and coffee OK.) But beware of any potential chemicals in the tea, coffee or water; it appears, at least with my body, that any products with pesticides make achieving a GKI below 1.0 more difficult.
(6) But always be sure to keep your vitals checked, and DO NOT discount the value of salt. potassium, calcium and magnesium in the CORRECT balance for YOUR body (see a trusted medical doctor or nutritionist, as applicable for testing.)
I am currently working on a documentary of a summary of all of my personal tests, but I cannot express how important I've learned that maintaining a GKI below 1.0 is in the details, from stress, sleep, exercise to every vitamin, mineral food or snack consumed and all other environmental factors.
It is nothing short of a total lifestyle change, and looking at activities and food differently, very differently. I consistently maintain a GKI below 1.0 (I can do it at will,) and I know what throws it out of whack.
Hopefully this is helpful, even though not very comprehensive.
