So for me it was kind of liberating that once you're in ketosis you're not that hungry and then in the context of elevated ketones are sort of anti-cadabolic and I talked about that a little bit and it was it was it liberated me from food but when I I like to enjoy food I think food should be I don't think we should deprive ourselves of food so depriving myself of, that's not something that I miss.

So, and if people really miss that and enjoy that, I don't think they should eliminate it from their menu or their meals.

And I don't have like irrational food behavior.
