"Keto" "Diet"

I think no one has ever asserted that keto is “healthier“, I can attest to the fact that it helps people with eating disorders to loose weight easily and effortlessly, and not relapsing in gain weight (something that low calorie diets have never been able to claim), while reversing all the obsesity related problems.

If you don’t have eating disorders and weight issues, continue to do whatever you are doing and you’ll be fine.

I can't take anyone seriously who recommends agave. It's almost life fructose and much worse than HFCS. 150 calories in glucose is what you want ..rice, bread, maltodextrin.

It's for people who are addicted to carbs to the point where they have no self control. More meat is better than more pizza or hot pockets.

Problem with all met diet is too many oxidants with no antioxidants...will increase cancer risk over time.

I do what this guy does ..a berry smoothie with Ceylon cinnamon and a steak. High fiber, high antioxidants, with meat. Low in processed simple carbs such as pizza. Large fresh salad...and a grilled salmon. Shit like that.

It's healthy. Mediterranean.

That is misleading at best. One essential characteristic of ketogenic regime is that it encourages the intake of vegetables, which are low in digestible carbs (is the digestible carbs what is reduced, complex, indigestible carbs aka as fiber, is encouraged). I have plenty of vegetables with my fatty meals.

That's fine if you eat veggies. Spices are good too!


Low/zero carb is a lot like nofap....takes lots of willpower and building that is great for self mastery and Manning up.

I can’t agree with that, for me it was love at the first meal, it requires no will power at all, Now the idea of eating carbs gives me spine chills.

WTG low carb people.

Go to diabetes.co.uk and see maybe a 100,000 people around the world who have used keto to beat back the diabetes EPIDEMIC for those who say 'show me proof'

That you are overloading on carbs and have no problems....so far.Thats just it,get back to us in your 50's and 60's and tell us how overloading on carbs,which turn into instant sugars the minute you ingest them is working out for you.

Oh,and there are differences in carbs,a fiberous veggie and a processed flour are much different animals in health effects too.

People have reported many many health problems theyve eliminated by dumping carbs,and yes,its true.The people here on this thread,all the problems theyve eliminated being low carb are 100% true.Cant even be denied any more as operations such as diabetes.co.uk have so many thousands and thousands and thousands of successes.

People who record every morsel they eat and then their labs showing remarkable health benefits.Cant deny that.Now the diabetic organizations advice is FINALLY,grudgingly changing and admitting...lookie there,seems it DOES work,go figure....

Diabesity....we are learning.

They have. Half of the posters have made it seem like carbs are the devil when in reality that’s far from the truth.

If it works for you and you feel fine and have no deficiencies, great. You’re going to get more out of a less restricting diet that’s rich in whole foods though, which was my point. Leave it to GLP for someone to hear that and then call you a Coca Cola shill though. Lmao

keto, code, water, prayer.

I gain weight in ketosis and lose when eating carbs, why?

:treefidy:

This dumb diet is amazing, my wife has lost so much weight she looks great I’m impressed with this weird diet. It works for sure and we are not into any of the other diets. I’ve literally never been for any diet and would never back one if it wasn’t amazing personally

The keto diet was an early attempt to help type 1 diabetics to cope as insulin was not widely available until after 1950 or so.

You still need some mechanism to add sugar in some form so your body can modulate blood glucose levels.

Milk breaks down to lactose then glucose and galactose. Carbs break down. Fruits have fructose. Sugar has sucrose.

Otherwise you force the body to catabolize (self breakdown) of proteins whichis all bad to undergo gluconeogenesis. That leads to ketoacidosis.

so berries n veggies.

A sedentary man needs 56 grams of protein.
A sedentary woman needs 46 grams of protein.

Both should come from essential amino acids. Eating more willnot help you as there is human metabolic pathway to save excess amino acids.

An active person like a combat soldier needs MORE as does an athlete. If you're a burly moving heavy equipment,gear, boxes every day, you need more and will utilize it.

Muscles tear down and rebuild as an body builder knows to gain muscle mass. They have higher requirements.

But anyone else eating too much protein can't assimilate it so this taxes their kidneys and is a weakness of a ketogenic diet.

If you just ate berries then typically they are so low cal that it almost uses as much energy to digest them so no net gain calorically.

Just be careful not to hypoglycemic or you will feel weak and that your brain says,"hey dumbass I need glucose to operate". Keep it up and the brain sabotages you, "you want cake and pie"! That is ruinous.

Allow yourself a little homemade lemonade. A little...don'tscrew it up with these massive beverage cups but a n old fashion little juice glass.

You can use a different sweetener like honey if you want. A little is a treat.

If you fast by eating berries and say some fresh peaches as they are in season now in the USA (and quite good in my region and juicy), don't be surprised if your body odor smells ripe for 48 hours and then abates. Despite some science types saying otherwise, the skin does excrete toxins through sweat and when eating fruit as above to cleanse the body, it rids stored up toxins that smell riper than normal. Then it goes away. Use a little apple cider vinegar with the "mother" in it, and you won't smell anything.

Be careful on keto to still eat roughage as you want to purge your colon at the same time. Much of body waste is comprised of decaying body tissue like old blood cells and anaerobic bacteria. You should be eliminating every single day to maintain health and not reliant on coffee to do so.

Old juice glasses were the standard for a daily glass of orange juice and were 4.5 fluid ounces (1 cup equals 8 fluid ounces).

A primary causeof Type 2 diabetes is portion control issues when some fool drinks this big supersized at McDonalds is 30 ounces! No wonder their pancreas is screaming, "HELP!"

Good advice. MEAT, berries, Greens, Water. Almond milk for shakes. We gooooood. Wine for the pain ;)

A single 4.5 fluid ounce glass of pure grape juice would fit the bill or made from organic cherry juice concentrate. That will moderation would be fine to keep your blood sugar in check. The latter would help people with gout.

There are simple carbs and complex carbs. Eliminating carbs is a surefire way to deprive yourself of energy.

You won't believe me but what happens is when people get melancholia (persistent sadness), they overeat carbs that they get depressed and in such a funk, they can't shake it off. It accumulates as fat and that exudes estrogen.

So to rid yourself of that funk, eat meat and fish if near the coasts or freshwater fish from lakes. A lot of guys feel terrible because they get too much estrogen. If you keep that up, you'll find yourself too sensitive and cry during movies. You need some camp out time grilling steaks to flush out the estrogen. Eat some roast beef. Eat some drunken mussels.

Drunken mussels recipe. It's Italian and eating it regularly with a small portion of bread or pasta will elevate your mood and break depression.

lol it's easier to blame the carbs instead of themselves.

The Keto I follow caps protein at 50 grams per day. So no worries. The idea is to eat fat as the main ingredient, then protein, and no more than 20 grams of digestible carbs per day (I cut it at 5 grams).

Thing is that when you eat fat as the main course, you self regulate intake as it causes satiety. Forget of food cravings, they are gone.
