Sincerely try it and see how it makes you feel, then decide. Make an effort for 3-4 weeks, making sure to get enough calories (https://cronometer.com/ https://cronometer.com/ is a good resource) and have support from your friends and family. I think only first-hand experience could really convince anyone.
- djbusby 5y agoWe want to measure something - not feelings. What can be measured?
- nradov 5y agoYou can measure athletic performance. Check your 1RM for the standard lifts, or VO2 Max for running, or whatever performance metric aligns best to your favorite sport.
- bumby 5y agoA normal blood panel is a good place to start. For me, lipids and liver function tests are what I track. But insulin sensitivity is a good one too. All depends on your personal risk factors
- threatripper 5y agoIt really takes weeks and months for the body to fully adjust to a diet. Also the body can suddenly change and one needs another kind of diet.
- bumby 5y agoJust be aware that nutritional deficiencies can take months or in some cases years to manifest. Just because you feel better in the short term does not mean it’s a long term solution. There’s a couple of personal experiences where I switched to a vegan diet and felt great for the first two months or so but other health/performance factors in the longer-term caused me to deviate away from it.
- therealdrag0 5y ago+1 for Cronometer. I evaluated a bunch of nutrition tracking apps mostly on simple/focused UX and this was the winner.
