Ketogenic Diet: Here's a lowdown on what the diet actually entails.

Highlights

Off lately, Keto diet has become a huge hit. The diet's success in managing weight - and thus, keeping blood sugar in control, as well as keeping cardiac risk factors at bay - has made it one of the most popular weight-loss diets. Our body gets its energy by burning sugar that is derived from carbohydrates, that is, glycogen. When the body runs low on sugar during a heavy workout it enters into starvation mode. When this happens, the body starts saving up its remaining reserves of sugar and starts burning fat for energy (fat reserve stored in adipose tissue). Then the body enters ketosis, a state in which your body burns fat rather than sugar for energy.

Ketogenic Diet involves a large portion of the energy in your body coming from fats.

60-75% Fat

15-30% Protein

5-10% Carbs

If you are planning to follow the Ketogenic diet, it is essential to understand a few facts about it:

You should eliminate the C. R. A. P. = Carbohydrates, Refined Sugars, Artificial Foods, Processed Foods. Start by eliminating refined sugars and processed carbohydrates (such as bread, pasta, sugary drinks, energy bars, cereals, alcohol, sweets etc.).

This doesn't mean you can never have your favourite food again in the future! Once the diet is past the adaptation phase and the body has started burning fats, you can start experimenting with Keto versions of the food that you like the most.

The adaptation phase can be difficult and indicates how the person was eating before which can also lead to headaches, fatigue, and withdrawal for some people. So, don't forget to take it easy.

Ketogenic diet needs to be adapted to, slowly.

If you are following the Keto diet and are able to succeed without any hiccups, then you should continue with the diet. But if you feel unwell, then it might be time to re-evaluate.

1. Listen To Your Body Needs

Some people incorporate dairy into their Keto journey while others do not. Your body will eventually send you signals as to how it reacts to certain food items.

2. Upgrade The Quality Of Nutrients

Consume healthy anti-inflammatory fats and organic produce as a source of high-value protein.

3. Changing Lifestyle Habits

To reap maximum benefits, it is important to stick to your eating plan and follow a healthy lifestyle. This includes regular exercise, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep and eliminating stress.

4. The body doesn't ride only on ketones but also depends on electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium. As sodium is lost during ketosis, the kidneys respond by reabsorbing more sodium while excreting more potassium into the urine. Hence, it is essential to incorporate food rich in potassium like bananas.

Signs of not having enough potassium in the diet:

5. When glucose is converted to glycogen inside the liver, it bonds with water, resulting in a more 'hydrated' body. It is always important to note that fat does not bond with water. During the state of ketosis, the body will not absorb as much water so the body will be less hydrated. Hence, it is important to be hydrated while following aketo diet.

Hydration is key during keto diet.

6. Lastly, remember that the Keto diet plan limits your food options and is harder to sustain for the long-term. Once you have achieved your desired weight, you don't have to stick to Keto diet.

How To Follow Keto Diet The Right Way? Expert Reveals - NDTV Food

Every five years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) develop the Dietary Guidelines for Americans that recommend what to eat and drink and how much for individualsthink the Food Pyramid and MyPlate.

To craft the upcoming 2020-25 guidelinesdue out in Decemberthe USDA and HHS will review the scientific report they commissioned from the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, made up of 20 experts from across the U.S., as well as public commentson that report.

One of the committee experts is School of Public Health associate professor Jamie Stang, who brings a careers worth of research into nutrition and maternal and child health focusing on obesity during pregnancy. Stang talks about whats different about the scientific report this time around, whats controversial, and what the committee members learned that surprised them.

What are the controversial things?

JS: The first is sugar intake. Past guidelines recommended including 10 percent or less of daily calories from sugar in your diet. Were recommending 6 percent or less. You can replace those calories with nutrient rich foods instead, which would help you meet requirements for other food groups. There are only three or four food sources that provide 70-80 percent of the sugars in our diet; the highest percentages come from desserts and sugar-sweetened drinks. Im sure well get lots of public comments about this.

What else is controversial?

JS: Im not sure this is a controversial recommendation, but I think it will surprise people. And thats alcohol intake. The data we examined showed that even one drink a day for both genders is the limit of what you want to consume. And because some alcohol is consumed with mixers, they add sugars and additional calories. The committee has in the past looked at alcohol consumption, but this time it considered alcohol intake from a more holistic perspective how it contributes to death from many causes (all-cause mortality) rather than from just a single cause, such as heart or liver disease. When you look at alcohol more broadly, you get a different picture.

What were new areas of exploration for the committee?

JS: This is the first time that the report has included separate guidelines for what to consume during pregnancy and lactation. We looked not just at nutrients, but at how food and dietary habits relate to a large variety of outcomes, such as gestational weight gain, hypertension, gestational diabetes, and postpartum weight retention. Our exploration is not totally comprehensive because we cant cover everything with a single committee, but its a really good start.

Did you find groups of people who need particular help?

JS: We did. The group that needs the most helpand this is not a surprise for us here in Minnesota because we do so much work in this areais adolescents, especially females. Theyre low in dairy, low in fruits, low in vegetables, low in fiber and quite a few teen females are low in protein. They need a lot of attention.

What do you want to delve into for the 2025 scientific report?

JS: Next time around, wed like to see more exploration around the context of how people eat. We can look at all the data, but translating it into messages like the dietary guidelines that we expect people and programs to use really requires understanding the context. For example, we dont know why adolescent girls have so many nutrient deficits or why childrens healthy eating habits drop off significantly at 20 months. We need to shift the nutrition conversation awayfrom single nutrients or single foods toward how people live and how they have to adapt.

Being on a keto diet doesn't mean you can't enjoy all the festive flavors that make a terrific and satisfying Thanksgiving dinner.

In fact, Michelle Stacey, author of "Holiday Keto: Eat, Drink and Still Shrink!" shared all the versatile ingredients needed to turn a keto-friendly menu into something the whole family can enjoy.

The high-fat, low-carb diet encourages protein and vegetables, so a turkey and sides such as Brussels sprouts with bacon or green beans and even cheesy cauliflower casserole are all fair game, Stacey explained to "Good Morning America."

"The main event is the turkey, which is totally keto itself," she said. "And with baking, it's all about the right substitutions."

Cauliflower is the chameleon ingredient for a keto-friendly feast

It is the most versatile ingredient you can have in your kitchen when it comes to keto. It's so neutral in flavor, so it can be the base of something that's totally keto and full of other flavors," she said. "You can make a sweet potato casserole that uses mashed cauliflower -- you can rice it and transform it into a pumpkin risotto. You can thinly slice the stems and make scalloped potatoes -- layer them in a pan with cream and cheese, and its totally gooey and wonderful with literally five ingredients."

Cauliflower 'Mac' and Cheese

Serves: 4

Ingredients

Vegetable oil cooking spray

4 cups cauliflower florets

14 cup melted butter

12 teaspoon salt

12 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

13 cup heavy cream

14 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.

In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets, melted butter, salt and pepper.

Place cauliflower on baking sheet; roast for 15 minutes or until tender.

In a glass bowl, combine cheddar cheese, cream and milk. Microwave mixture until melted, about 1 minute.

Toss cauliflower with cheese mixture, place into casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes.

Garnish as desired with cheese and freshly cracked pepper to serve.

Whipped Cauliflower Mash

Serves: 4 Ingredients

6 cups water

1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets

Story continues

1 tablespoon minced garlic

14 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons butter

12 teaspoon sea salt

12 teaspoon ground black pepper

Garnishes: chopped chives, cracked black pepper

Instructions

Add water to large pot and boil, then add cauliflower. Boil until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid, then drain cauliflower.

In a blender, combine cauliflower, garlic, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt and pepper; blend until smooth. (If the mash is too thick, slowly add reserved cooking liquid to obtain the desired consistency.)

Pour cauliflower mash into serving bowl, and garnish as desired.

Brussels Sprouts Casserole

Serves: 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup chopped onion

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

1 teaspoon sea salt

12 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons cream cheese

13 cup heavy cream

12 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onion and garlic; cook for 3 minutes.

Stir in Brussels sprouts, salt and pepper; cook for 3 minutes.

Stir in cream cheese and heavy cream; cook for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Place in serving dish; top with chopped pecans.

Carve out a cycle day to stay on track before and after

In order to stick with the program, Stacey advised keto eaters on a long-term diet "build in a cycle day," which is basically a cheat day that you don't use to binge. "You can use it as a mental safety valve to stick to keto day to day and then use this to fulfill a small craving."

"Thanksgiving comes once a year. So if your aunt makes the best pumpkin pie -- plan to have a piece of it. Don't approach it with a diet mentality of 'I had one bite of something, it's all over.' If you say, 'Im gonna make this exception for pumpkin pie and Im gonna enjoy every minute of it,' then you can be chill about it and not stress or feel guilty later."

Stacey explained that diets that work best are the ones people can "maintain long term and find strategies that allow to coast through stuck points."

Make spices and fresh herbs the MVP ingredients of holiday keto cooking

"Spices are totally freebies on keto, the only limit is your palate," Stacey said.

Many of the spices seen in holiday recipes like cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, garlic and ginger are full of potential health benefits, plus they add tons of flavor to your home cooked food.

"Cinnamon plays a big role in Thanksgiving and its one of the best spices for you. It's such a powerful antioxidant," Stacey said of the popular seasonal spice that can help lower cholesterol and blood sugar.

"Herbs like rosemary are really powerful in terms of phytochemicals," she explained of the savory green stems that are often used to liven up everything from the turkey to sides like stuffing or gravy. "You can really up the satiation factor of foods -- like turkey which is a pretty bland meat -- using things like fresh rosemary and fresh thyme."

Make a keto-friendly dish and bring it with you

"If you know that you're going to an aunt and uncles or something, you can make a keto pumpkin cheesecake and bring it with you, so you know that you're going to get those flavors that you want," she said.

Even for families separated due to the pandemic who may have to cook their own individual Thanksgiving spread this year, Stacey reminded and encouraged that "if youre cooking your own food, its automatically going to be healthier" because you'll omit long lists of additives and "you have more control over what you're putting in your food."

Check out this easy recipe for chef Sarah Steffans' no-bake pumpkin cheesecake from Real Ketones.

"The ultra-decadent no-bake pie has the perfect combination of creamy and crunchy and can be made up to two days in advance of serving," Steffans said in the sweet holiday recipe.

End the evening with a keto-friendly toast

Stacey suggests doing a cocktail such as a hot toddy or an old-fashioned with a granulated sugar substitute or a champagne toast to enjoy a keto nightcap.

"Spirits of any kind have zero carbs and wine is pretty low-carb," she said. "Mixed drinks with tonic or coke can get you in trouble, but a glass of champagne is only one or two carbs."

Don't worry about your diet this Thanksgiving, these keto recipes and tips can help make it easy - Yahoo! Voices

Recently, Ive had one friend gush about his low-carb diet, another about his calorie-counting app, and another about the new weight loss program shes following. There have also been several instances of people discussing others bodies and eating habits as if they were any of their business.

I dont know if its the pandemic, some sort of post-summer weight gain panic, or just that my resurgent social life (thanks to looser restrictions in England) has reminded me of how pervasive diet talk really is, but boy did I not miss this.

When these topics come up, I enter into a white-hot rage that I have to work hard to curb, and I often come out with a cutting comment. As someone who struggled with disordered eating habits for close to a decade, and who has only recently made peace with food and weight gain, I want these diet culture subscribers to know how harmful this kind of talk (and its associated behaviors) can be.

The truth is, though, however uncomfortable it may make me, its not my place to reprimand them. Theyre on their own journey and Im not their therapist, or their dietitian, or their mother, and the way I react only makes things uncomfortable it doesnt help anyone.

Theyre on their own journey and Im not their therapist, or their dietitian, or their mother, and the way I react only makes things uncomfortable it doesnt help anyone.

Unfortunately, diet talk isnt going anywhere any time soon. As much as weve made progress in the past few years with magazines banning the term bikini body, nutrition professionals moving away from recommending weight loss for its own sake, and more and more people beginning to grasp the inextricable links between diet culture and white supremacy many (if not most) of us still actively pursue weight loss, as well as following whatever restrictive diet is the flavor of the month, and judging other peoples bodies and habits unprompted.

Story continues

As long as diet talk crops up around us, well have to find ways to make our peace with it which isnt a one-size-fits-all. I spoke to eating disorder therapist Shira Rosenbluth LCSW, certified eating disorder registered dietitian Casey Bonano and non-diet registered dietitian Kirsten Ackerman to help you balance your diet talk boundaries with compassion for others who dont have the same history with food as you do.

Diet talk is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, namely people discussing their specific and often restrictive diets, a topic of conversation that is extremely common among friends, family or colleagues. Less obvious forms of diet talk may be talking negatively about your or other peoples food or bodies, discussing calories, describing foods as good or bad, and describing yourself as being good or bad based on what you are eating, Bonano says.

Diet talk can often lead both the talker and the talkee to feel that their body is wrong, or that the food they eat is wrong. For people with disordered eating habits or diagnosed eating disorders, this kind of talk can quickly become distressing.

Diet talk makes me feel deeply uncomfortable, says Chloe Faulkner, who struggles with an eating disorder. I feel angry that this is how the world works, and that the majority of those discussing diet have struggled their whole life on one fad or another.

As for Rachel Charlene Lewis, a writer and editor based in North Carolina, diet talk makes her feel anxious. I hate the idea that people are thinking about me and my body and what it looks like and how big or small it is, she says. [Diet talk] also just forces to the surface a wide range of body negative thoughts, and the idea that food is bad, bodies are bad, and we need to change our bodies to be worthy.

Faulkner and Lewis are among many women I spoke to who feel uncomfortable when diet talk comes up, but many people dont even realize that theyre doing it or that their words can be harmful. Unfortunately diet talk is considered so normal, people typically do not pick up on it until they are on the journey of changing their relationship with food, Bonano says.

I hate the idea that people are thinking about me and my body and what it looks like and how big or small it is.

When youre on a journey to heal your relationship with food and move away from dieting, you may, like me, have a strong negative reaction to diet talk in your circles. That said, as long as we as a society are entrenched in diet culture, diet talk will inevitably happen and you cant possibly fight it every time it does.

Its really important to consider how much energy you have in the moment and to remember that you dont have to tackle and dismantle diet culture at all times, Rosenbluth says. That can really cause you to burn out and feel exhausted!

But just because you may sometimes have to let diet talk happen without trying to correct it doesnt mean you are condemned to live in discomfort forever. I promise you can get to a place where diet talk no longer impacts you, your mood, or your behaviors, Bonano says. You will get to a place where it just rolls right off you without sticking.

When youre in recovery, or youve become aware of all the ways diet culture is harmful, it can make you pretty angry. It is easy to take out this anger on others who are engaging in diet talk, Ackerman says. In time, you realize that taking diet talk as a personal attack can be a waste of your energy. You realize that it is not the fault of the dieter or the person speaking diet talk.

For Ackerman, itll be easier for you to deal with diet talk if you can separate the diet talker from diet culture as a whole each of us has to learn to navigate our unique relationship with food within a disordered culture, and we dont get to decide what that journey looks like for anyone but ourselves.

Changing the subject is the easiest way to respond to diet talk without causing any extra discomfort. There are two ways to do this: First is to introduce a new subject or steer the conversation away from the topics that dont sit well with you. If I feel like the topic cant be changed, I try moving it to a conversation that focuses more on health than looks since its the latter that I find uncomfortable and harmful, says Anmol Irfan, who often has to field unwanted comments on her body or weight.

The second way to change the subject is to state your discomfort and ask the people youre with if you can talk about something else. With close friends and family, I say it makes me uncomfortable and that Id rather not hear about their new abs/diet/weight loss goals, Lewis says. The experts agree that setting a boundary like this can get your message across in a productive way and bring the conversation back onto safer ground.

If you have tried to change the subject or expressed your discomfort to someone and they continue to engage in diet talk, its probably a good idea to leave the conversation if youre able to. You can respond to diet talk in a healthy way by removing yourself from the situation, Ackerman says.

Unfortunately, of course, you cant always physically leave the room, in which case you might find it useful to just disengage. My immediate reaction is to be quiet, Faulkner says. I listen as a means of being polite but Ill not pass comment or state anything about my own diet or health. Ideally, I would like to leave the conversation altogether but in certain circumstances, its not always possible without seeming rude.

In some cases, if youre ready and have the energy (and you think the person is open), educating friends and family on why this kind of talk is unhelpful can be empowering, Rosenbluth says. Tell them about your relationship with food and how youve come to understand that dieting and body-shaming are harmful try to keep it personal to you and remember the people youre talking to arent necessarily coming from the same place as you. Be patient with them and remember you can always change the subject if it gets too much.

When youre on the way to freeing yourself from diet culture, it can be hard to understand why anyone would still choose to subscribe to it, despite the fact that the overwhelming evidence on dieting is that it more often than not leads to weight cycling, according to Rosenbluth.

Think about all the time, effort and unlearning it took for you to give up on dieting, or aspiring to the perfect body. Chances are you wouldnt have listened to anyone who told you to just eat the damn cupcake when you were in the thick of diet culture yourself try extending that understanding to those around you. My first recommendation is to try not to convert anyone, Bonano says. Some individuals are not in the same place or on the same journey and that is OK. If people are not ready for this information you will [] end up wasting a lot of your energy.

Becoming defensive, argumentative, or combative generally does not go well, Bonano continues. Letting go of dieting is very counter to our culture and there is a big learning curve. You can always ask if the person is interested in hearing your perspective, offer to explain what your journey has been like, or offer to provide resources about the topic.

Bottom line: You cant convert anyone, but you can both protect your energy and offer your perspective on diet talk with compassion and understanding.

Diet Talk Will Happen Whether We Like It or Not Here's How to Deal - Yahoo Lifestyle

AUSTIN (KXAN) Every five years, a committee of nutrition experts and doctors gives science-based advice to The U.S Department of Agriculture on dietary guidelines that eventually shape school lunch programs and benefits to help food-insecure families.

For the first time since 1980, the committee focused on dietary guidelines for infants and toddlers under two years old.

What a baby eats when they are six months of age, and beyond breast milk, really makes a difference, said Dr. Steven Abrams, the chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics committee on nutrition. He is not on the federal committee but agrees with the recommendations.

The committee found a growing body of evidence made it increasingly clear that proper nutrition during the earliest stages of life was critical to support healthy growth and development during childhood.

One suggestion was that babies and toddlers eat meat as well as poultry, seafood and eggs for iron, zinc and choline needs.

Iron is very important and meat is a great source of iron for babies, Dr. Abrams said. He says iron is critical for a babys brain which rapidly develops, and is especially needed during early infancy into childhood.

For families uncomfortable introducing meat into a babys diet, Dr. Abrams suggests iron drops, but they are not the best form of iron, he says. Parents can look for iron fortified cereals in the baby food aisle, as well.

The committee recommends that children younger than two years old consume no added sugars. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services will review the advice and issue final guidelines by the end of the year.

Natural teas can help manage high blood pressure.

Highlights

Lifestyle-related diseases have become more rampant now as we mostly stay home and our physical movement has drastically dropped down. Hypertension or high blow pressure was always a cause of concern across the globe. With Coronavirus pandemic dawning on us, it needs our attention now more than ever. Hypertension refers to a condition when the force of blood against the artery walls is higher than normal. If unattended or uncontrolled, this situation can spiral into serious illnesses like a heart attack or stroke. Diet change is still considered an effective mode of treatment. We are suggesting here some natural teas that have proven to have positive effects in managing high blood pressure.

Diet modification can help manage high blood pressure.

Garlic is a staple spice in cuisines all over the world. The compound 'allicin' found in garlic is known to keep blood pressure in control. 'Healing Foods' book by DK Publishing House, says, "Garlic is rich in sulphur, which stimulates nitric oxide production in vessels. This, in turn, improves the elasticity of vessels and helps manage blood pressure level. Here's how you can make garlic tea at home.

Citrusy, aromatic lemongrass tea is just the drink you need to refresh yourself. Nutritionist Dr. Anju Sood shares, "Lemongrass provides us with loads of potassium that boosts the production of urine in our body, which further improves blood circulation and suppresses high blood pressure." Here's how to make lemongrass tea at home.

Moringa tea that is made with dehydrated and ground leaves of moringa (or drumstick) tree. Dr. Manoj K. Ahuja points out, "Moringa is a highly nutrient-rich plant. It is a powerhouse of vitamins, iron, calcium and essential amino acids." Moringa contains a compound called 'quercetin', which is known to reduce high blood pressure level. Also, its anti-oxidative quality is considered good for BP patients to curb inflammation. Click here for moringa tea recipe.

The herb of tulsi has been renowned for its medicinal properties since ancient times. The volatile oils present in tulsi may help a great deal in managing blood pressure levels. A chemical called eugenol is found in tulsi and has the ability to relax tightened blood vessels. Here's how you can make tulsi tea at home.

Flaxseeds are a rich source of potassium that helps fight the ill-effects of high sodium content in the body. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) data, hundred grams of flaxseeds provide as much as 813 mg of potassium. Flaxseeds are also rich in fibre, which protect the layer of cells lining the blood vessels. Click here for flaxseed tea recipe.

This warm, delicious dish boasts light, creamy flavours and smells like fall wrapped in a flaky pie crust. The recipe is completely modifiable (carrots, peas, green beans can be omitted or changed out for other veggies!), depending on whats left in your fridge.

(Makes approximately 6 servings)

My dads favourite thing to do after making turkey, beef or chicken is to throw the bones into a pot, boil it down and create a bone broth. While Im not a big meat-eater myself, I trust my dads ability to prepare meat productshe did grow up on a farm, after all!

Besides, homemade broth is extremely nutritious, and we often use it with soup dumplings or ramen too.

If you dont have time to create your own broth, a store-bought one will do just fine. However, homemade broth has the best flavour, the most nutrients and provides an excellent way to use all the parts of an animal without being wasteful.

All measurements are approximate.

Dealing with Thanksgiving leftoversfor every dietary restriction! - The Charlatan

The supplement makes up less than 0.3% of the cattles feed; the company said it works by preventing hydrogens from binding to carbon atoms during digestion and creating methane in cattle burps.

A study by researchers at University of California, Davis, published in July this year, claimed that the persistent reduction of methane emissions in beef steersbysuch A. taxiformissupplementation would suggest this is a viable feed additive to decrease the carbon footprint of ruminant livestock and potentially increase production efficiency.

FeedNavigator (FEN) had a Q&A with Joan Salwen, CEO and co-founder of Blue Ocean Barns, to gauge the potential for the cattle feed supplement.

JS: A commercial pilot using the red seaweed supplement was approved by the USDA National Organic Program this year. Blue Ocean Barns is in conversation with other regulators, both at the state and federal levels. As for commercial scale-up, we already have begun cultivating in Hawaii, and expanded operations to Southern California this month. We are on track for commercial operations to begin late next year.

JS: We are planning to commercially launch with farmers inCalifornia. That said, Blue Ocean Barns has been in discussions with several global brands and their supply chains may encourage us to launch in other states or countries.We do not yet have a brand name for our supplement.

JS: Our cultivation is on land in controlled photobioreactors, but we also will source material from ocean farms that meet our standards for quality and environmental stewardship. We have multiple patents pending that cover our proprietary manufacturing method.

JS: Producing this type of red seaweed at scale and at high potency is not an easy task. The seaweed grows fast and plentifully but can be fragile and needs to be optimized for use in cattle. I'm happy to say that our scientists and growing team have made a string of significant breakthroughs and our seed stock is expanding exponentially. By the end of 2021, we expect our proprietary supplement to be available at commercial scale.

JS: Like kelp and nearly all seaweeds approved for use in food and feed, A. taxiformis produces bromoform. Study after study has shown the same thing: No bromoform residue nor abnormalities of any kind were detected in the animals meat, organs, fat, or feces. Additionally, bromoform levels in the tested milk were exactly the same as those found in the cows' drinking water on the farm - with no increase from the seaweed supplement.

JS: Our product has been shown in tests at UC Davis to reduce feed intake by 14% without any loss of average daily gain (ADG). A significant cost reduction in feed would be a strong win for farmers, since feed is their highest cost. We aren't yet ready to announce our commercial sales and distribution strategy, but the Blue Ocean Barns supplement will be a clear net-positive for farmers.
