Additional energy on zero carb

I know it's not just me but could others here comment? On meat or not.

I find often I need to exercise, I'm just itching to use my resistance training set until failure (and then, after an hour resist doing it again) or go for a bike ride - it's a half hour up hill ride from here to most places I go, and I'll ride hard to the top of that hill and see what speed I can get on the way back, just to burn off what feels like excess energy

Yes! Doing very low carb had given me huge energy boots compared to when I fall off the wagon. Just itching to get out and go

Lchf vs carnivore, I think I have the same Energy either way.

After 3 months I think I top out my vim and vigor.

  Whhaaat---you got energy boots? All I rolled was high uric acid.
  
  Serious though, I felt like my gas tank would empty a lot quicker. I always hoped it would give me that kind of boost, but the closest I got was a tangential motivational boost from dropping pesky weight that I had trouble dropping otherwise--the flirt with gout (with what I was eating, anyway) did happen though.
  
  I had gout while I was on carbs, I couldn't go off allopurinol until I had given up carbs completely. Now I haven't had any medications for ages.
  
  A thing I have heard, but I can't place where, is that all the super muscle youtube carnivores have high uric acid, so there's a hypothesis that success in strength training is better with high uric acid.
  
  Anyway eating only ~~meat~~ animal sourced foods (I also eat eggs) appears to protective against gout, I still have high uric acid, as bad as when I put on allopurinol, but now I don't get gout.
  
  How long were you doing lchf? Did you measure your ketones?
  
  There is data showing that lchf can be protective against gout, I can dig it up if your interested
- Under keto I couldn't do nearly as much. I'm progressing well on the resistance exercises, and I'm faster each time I ride
  
  On keto I didn't advance and I was tired all the time. I think it's because I wasn't eating enough
  
  Interesting; How different is your carnivore diet from keto?
  
  For me I just removed the avocados and stopped trying to find "keto bread", or "keto pizza"... meaning I was already doing a 500g of ground beef and liver on carnivore. I just removed the other stuff. Maybe thats why I felt fine on both?
