Turns out there is a skin condition that presents with the same rash that I had AND it can be brought on by ketosis! Itâs called pruritis pigmentosa. I had to prove this to myself, so I did what any diligent n=1 experimenter would do: I ate more carbs. The following morning, that rash got better.
Gelato: Dense and Intense. Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. It starts out with a similar custard base as ice cream, but has a higher proportion of milk and a lower proportion of cream and eggs (or no eggs at all). It is churned at a much slower rate, incorporating less air and leaving the gelato denser than ice cream.

Many people think that the massive wheels of Grana Padano, the semi-aged hard Italian cheese, are maybe a cheaper knock-off of better known Parmigiana-Reggiano, says Lou DiPalo, part of the fourth generation to run DiPalo's Fine Foods in Little Italy.n Italian, Grana is the word for grain, and it's actually the word for a type of cheese whose tiny crags and crannies look a little like specks of grain, he says. So Parmigiano-Reggiano, says DiPalo, is actually a type of grano.
