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.
Butterfat, air and flavor: Ice cream contains at least 10 percent butterfat and usually has between 14 and 25 percent. Meanwhile, Italian gelato includes only about 4 to 9 percent fat. Yet gelato also contains less air than American ice cream â that helps keep it dense, fluid and creamy.
