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.
We have to credit our friends over at Young in Rome for coming up with this brilliant new Italian word, a combination of the Italian words passeggiata (a stroll) and gelato (if you donât know what gelato is, you need to get to Italy right away!).
