Another Keto scare

(Consensus is Politics) #1

Just ran into this. I’m still watching it, so I cant tell you how it ends. I’m 5 minutes in and had to post comment on it. Blatent lies abound.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #2

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the ketogenic diet is unsustainable and will kill us. (Yawn).

I know, getting redundant hearing them. But its always good to know whats going on. What lies they tell. Even subtle, blatant lies, like the one you mention. Aint dead yet. Been keto for 18 months now.

I have begun
to ponder something as I watch this horrible video, and read through the comments. As much as I am a pundit for truth. Get the word out and let everyone know how bad the SAD is, even them that are ripping on keto and making up lies need to know the truth (ignored as it may be). BUT… then I begin to think… OK, just let them keep thinking that. Eventually Darwinism kicks in if you know what I mean.

Oh dear! I haven’t had any of these things! I guess I am just not doing it right!

I’m not clicking to give this video views. I can already imagine:

It’s not sustainable.
All that fat will clog your arteries.
The keto flu will wreck you.
You’ll get ketoacidosis.
You’ll lose lean mass.

Yada yada yada…

Hey, keto causing hepatitis was a new one! :rofl:

Chips and soda are much healthier.

Not bad at all… I think this all the time. :joy::joy:

Do the carnivore camp make anti vegan videos? Afraid I don’t hang out in YouTube much. Seems an odd thing to spend your time on, but I guess they see it as a mission.

And 28 minutes?? Seriously? I ain’t watching that…

#11

Yes, they do.

(Alec) #12

Sounds to me that some folks have too much time on their hands (says me who spends half his life hanging around on a mad-diet-that’s-going-to-kill-you forum :joy::joy::joy:)

The vegan folks have a reputation for cheap shots and being fast and loose with truth. Some of the carnivores are shooting back but not with expensive videos the vegans are known for.

#14

I know by-and-large Vegans were the ones who threw the first shot. But there has been at least one prominent Carnivore Youtuber I had to unsubscribe from because, despite how knowledgeable he was, it made me uncomfortable that he would constantly target Vegan girls, leading me to think there was some underlying sexism, and with some of the Vegan guys he targeted there was definitely some homophobia attached.

Then there was the Carnivore guy who’s a flat earther.

Wow, keto causes infectious diseases now? It’s pure evil! :mask: :smiling_imp:

:joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

I know, right? Usually there is some vague half-truth without an explanation, higher LDL, dehydration, but these two “side-effects” are the most outrageous fake factoids I have read to date!!!

(Full Metal KETO AF) #17

@Alecmcq You asked for it :rofl:

(Alec) #18

Only 3 minutes? Now that’s more like it!

(John) #19

Their observations do not match my experience.

I am sure the uninformed masses, if we explained it, would realize vegans are WAY extreme - whereas we are eating a balanced diet. Someone on twitter said it very well: (not an exact quote). The elephant in the room is you have a limited amount of vegans, a limited (though probably larger amount of low-carb, ketoers, and then the vast majority are junk and processed food sugar-burners. Keto is obviously healthier than vegan, BUT, either is potentially healthier than soda and chips. If done in a well-formulated way.
