And don't forget to submit your own questions for the podcast here: https://robbwolf.com/contact/submit-a-question-for-the-podcast/   Show Notes 1. (4:07) What do you eat? Mads says: Hey Robb (and Nicki) You have written comprehensively about what types of food to eat and what to avoid. You have also written a fantastic post and guide about "feeding kids paleo". I was wondering (as i am sure many others do as well) what do YOU eat? What are some staple meals? What are you go to breakfast, lunch and snack? Can you give an example of what you eat on a typical week? I think it would be interesting for folks to hear. Hope to hear from you either directly or even better on the podcast in Q&A! Best regards Mads from Denmark 2. (11:02) Keto counting Kristie says: Hey, Rob,  I’ve been following your stuff for ages. I’ve got both of your books. I worked out with a personal trainer who turned me on to Paleo and you nearly 10 years ago. I lost 145 pounds and have mostly kept it off. Every now and then I get into the almond flour baked goods and fruit and put on a few pounds. Then I regain my sanity and desire to feel great and I make better choices and drop the weight.  I’ve been considering Keto for a while just to see if I can drop a little more of the weight and feel even better. But here’s my hesitation, and it’s going to sound like an excuse, because it is. BUT I spent a whole lot of my life counting calories, counting fat grams, counting carbs....counting, counting, counting and being hungry. And I think the reason Paleo has worked so well for me is that I eat healthy, delicious food. When I am in the zone and not eating treats (which I always make myself) and I eat slowly and mindfully, I do really well. I have tons of energy and, although I could lose more weight for sure, I’m ok where I am weight-wise. I worry that Keto will put me back in that headspace of counting and worrying and making myself crazy over choices.  If anybody is going to help me over that, it’s you, though! So maybe I should just take the plunge into your Masterclass?  Thanks,  3. (17:18) What is considered health on the low end of the glucose spectrum when in ketosis? Rob says: (Side note: Robb hinted at this a bit for a question on Episode 389.) Of course there is variability and nuance, but what is considered to be the low end of a glucose level during ketosis; i.e., at what level do you start calling it a level of hypoglycemia to be possibly concerned about? BACKGROUND: I just completed Dr. Mark Hyman's 10 Day Detox. I lost 11 lbs. (after was 176 lbs., still about 6 lbs. or so over my ideal), lost 1.75/1.5/1" off waist/hips/thigh, blood pressure down 22/20 (and pulse 8 lower) to close to normal. I wasn't aiming for ketosis by doing this diet, but I believe I got into ketosis periodically. My question is if a fasted glucose level of 57 mg/dL (ketones: 2.4 at the same time) is not uncommon, or if that seems really low. I think I had heard of some people's glucose going *up* when in ketosis. I felt great through the entire diet, and have not had blood sugar problems (my fasted levels have been just fine, when testing before and after the diet). I'm *not* asking for any kind of medical advise, just if that level of 57 seems a bit low *in general*, given a ketone level of 2.4 at the same time. December 2017 at my annual checkup: Fasted glucose: 86 mg/dL Late March 2018 Self testing using a new Precision Xtra NFR blood glucose and ketone monitoring system (one recommended by Robb Wolf, I'm pretty sure). Morning of day 1 of Mark Hyman's 10 Day Detox diet: Fasted glucose: 71 mg/dL Ketones: 0.9 Morning of day after (last) day 10 of Mark Hyman's 10 Day Detox diet, about 14 hours after last eating/drinking: Fasted glucose: 57 mg/dL (day prior: 60) Ketones: 2.4 (day prior: 2.1) Two hours after a lunch with gluten and dairy: Glucose: 92 mg/dL Ketones: 0.7 Note that al
