Since you called for participants, I might as well let you know that I'm nearing the end of my first full week on a modified ex150. Let's call mine ex150lazy, since the key distinctive is that I'm drinking heavy cream (supplemented by coconut oil and sometimes butter in the form of bulletproof coffees) all day, but having one full-sized meal at night.

The reason for this is that I have a wife and a teenager, and they'll kill me if I try to feed them 150g of ground beef and vegetables daily. Since I'm the primary cook in my household, I'm basically cooking normal meals for us every night, which tends towards high protein and low carbs, but isn't rigorously keeping to any particular macro schedule. (For example, tonight's dinner was a cheese omlette, perfectly keto-friendly; last night's was nachos with homemade cheese sauce and ground beef, which has a significant amount of carbs in the tortilla chips but is calorically mostly proteins and fats.) So far the results have been phenomenal, but then again it's only been a week. I'll keep you posted, and if you're interested I can send you my data after it's been a month.

1.5 Quarts of Heavy Cream is 4320 calories.

It's pretty amazing, and should be considered a win that he didn't GAIN weight. Especially considering he added Sugar to the cream through berries that would not help with the ketosis.
