Just been binge-reading your posts and I'm gonna try ex150! I'm no stranger to self-experimentation, having given up sugar 11 years ago (no looking back) and tried various permutations of low carb, keto and carnivore ever since, all of which I've found decent at maintaining a healthy weight. I fell off the wagon on holiday last year and never quite managed to lose the weight I gained in those few glorious weeks. "I'm eating cream to make my tummy smaller" sounds like something Ralph Wiggum would say, but I don't understand quantum physics either and can still accept its validity. Here goes!

This diet reminds me of the time my wife was on EN (Enteral nutrition) for 4 months (tube feeding direct into the stomach). She lost weight very rapidly and was never hungry during that time but she gained the lost weight quickly all back when the tube was removed. The EN fat macro is mostly PUFA but rapid weight loss is still very common. There is even a KEN version (Ketogenic Enteral nutrition e.g: see https://nutricia.ca/ketocal-41-lq-unflavoured ) as an epilepsy treatment and also used for rapid weight loss. Again : the fat macro is mostly PUFA. So, I'm wondering, is it the blandness or predictability and continues supply of fat or is it the way fat is sensed in the esophagus or is it really the saturated fats/absence of PUFA in cream ?
