Has anyone done this with success? I saw a few videos on this and although I already am pretty fit, I figure it can't hurt to go even more protein and less carbs. I've slipped a bit lately and need to take it up a notch anyway.....

Carbs are always the devil......and not just with weight....

I can't answer the question sorry
But if you don't have prostate cancer I don't think it will hurt
It's been 3 years since I had prostate surgery
Was told about all kinds of complications and whatnot
I haven't had any issues except I will never have morning wood or any again
Oh well at 64 I rather be cancer free that have morning wood

Been using Super Beta Prostate for years now. PSA levels are in check and no problem with flow. I wish my dad had this stuff. He had prostate surgery back in the 80's and it was pretty brutal on him.

I haven't found any definitive info on keto/carnivore diet and fasting in regards to prostate reduction. There is lots of antidotal results from various treatments but nothing has worked for me ,supplements included.

Hoo,

From M.D. guidance, for prostrate maintenance, I'm an avid consumer of tree nuts.

They are fattening.

I'm on the food portion aspects of KETO. My M.D. took me off the 6 hour block of pigging out only then.

Tree nuts cost ~ 4 X more than peanuts, a legume (Jimmy Carter can amplify on this), but the true comparision re costs is tree nuts versus RX pharma.

Time for some more hazelnuts ..............................

Been doing keto for over a year now. Physical in a couple weeks. I like pecans.

You don't need a lot of nuts, for prostate selenium is good and you get a lot in just 1-3 Brazil nuts. A single nut can have plenty.

 

[dmas]

I also drink a lot of green tea. Pretty much switched from coffee, had a lot recently and it was very irritating to bladder, I think I'll have to avoid now.

I started a keto diet on Jan 26 and I’m down almost 20 pounds. I’m also doing intermittent fasting, only eating between 12 noon and 8 pm.

 

[Bogie]

I’ve also recently went the Keto route. Only been a bit over 3 weeks for me, but down almost 14lbs. Haven’t been eating enough due to some stresses. I’m youngish so no prostate issues, but was consuming way to much sugar. Before I started was always hungry and craving sweets. Had gained back 30lbs in 5 months that I lost last year (165 -195 at 5’11).

Keto has been great so far, I have a lot more energy and feel like I have reset my gut some. Just need to find a way to work more fiber in.

if you can do full carnivore it helps a lot of people with inflammation. I know one guy who cancelled knee replacement because it no longer hurt.
doesn't hurt to give it a try

I'm a woman but my Dad had prostate cancer. He was too old for surgery so they did radiation. He seems OK except for frequent trips to the bathroom.

Years ago I used to give my husband Saw Palmetto extract for his prostate issues and it worked very well, but back then it wasn't cheap so we stopped.

The first time I did Keto ... the fat fell off of me and I hardly moved a muscle. Never felt better in my life. I went from over 230lbs to 170lbs in less than a year. Then, after I got really sick with pneumonia during the Covid debacle, I lost more weight than I wanted to I started eating carbs to put some weight back on. Unfortunately, I got re-addicted to all that junk and got back up to 218lbs. So I'm back on Keto and back down to around 205lb. My target is 175lb. This diet improves my health is many ways. Prostate is still an issue, though (although not as bad as it was).

Can anyone tell me why "prostate issues" keeps coming up in this thread? Are prostate issues associated with a keto diet?

I think it's more about helping with those type issues

As I posted, I am trying a Caveman diet to see if it helps with the prostate. It is said to help.....Thread is titled:
Going more Caveman/Keto to help Prostate

just the opposite they usually bring down inflammation . high carb leads to more inflammation. don't believe what government and Drs have been saying for 50 years

Both are not ideal because they cut out important foods groups, including the carbs you hate but need.

I’d stick with the basics - 1/2 your plate fruit and vegetables of all colors, 1/4 protein and 1/4 grains unless you have calculated a specific protein and carbohydrate amount, which will still look roughly the same.

 

[rhansen]

no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, grains are the worst. Might as well eat table sugar as it's likely less inflammitory.
I do eat sauerkraut, lacto-fermented pickles, and some veggies/berries.

I’m just basing this off of advice from dieticians and guidance from our OHWS team that looks after us and our AFSOC brothers. We’re all very healthy and in better shape than the average American.

Think we should switch to the keto diet?
