Apparently the WOE I've sustained for 19 months isn't sustainable

I, then, consider my hereditary stubborness (which is LEGENDARY :laughing:) to hereby be a positive trait!
KCKO!
:horse: - that’s supposed to be a donkey but shows up as a horse. Oh well.

It is guaranteed that everyone who eats a well-formulated ketogenic diet is going to die.

God willing, at age 98, with clear minds and great blood work! :grinning:

I know how hard it was for me to make the change and also having made the decision how easy it is. I have sympathy for people still stuck in the cravings cycle and hope that they can get the information and gumption they need to make necessary changes in their lives. I want everyone to know how easy it is - but it does involve people ‘waking up’ and taking responsibility for their lives - not relying on doctors, authorities and friends/family to tell them what to do.

I understand where you’re coming from and think it’s important to have empathy but I am now a lot more selective with the people I discuss things with, and keto is one of those things. Every time I invest time in someone else I’m taking away from time I could be investing in myself, or in those that matter a lot to me like my family. I tend to believe that those with the right ambition and drive will find a way because their make up ensures they continue going and going until they find something that works for them.

Articles like this used to infuriate me. Now I just roll my eyes. Clearly these people are not metabolically damaged or they haven’t studied or tried keto long enough to become fat adapted. Once you’re fat adapted keto is pretty darn easy.

And of course, nobody can choke down a whole avocado, or more than half a slice of bacon, or an egg with the yolk in it, or a piece of steak, or chicken with the skin on, because they just taste absolutely horrible, amiright? :rofl:

Don’t even mention those macadamias, pecans, walnuts or almonds for cryin out loud!!! :smile:

Ha, ha!!! Or just visit the ‘what did you eat today’ thread and tell me keto is not sustainable!!!

Was it a BSOD that ended it?

(Adam Kirby) #30

IKR? Most other diets are much harder. It’s not even super difficult to eat out. Anyone who claims extreme difficulty is probably a legit sugar addict.

And then there is this…

I just noticed this after reading it a second time… I believe the new acronym BDK is a CYA for them.

“Glucose regulation with restored insulin sensitivity facilitated through clinically regulated, benign dietary ketosis (BDK), may significantly reduce…”

What other kind of ketosis is there?

Not only that.

What they imply is that the diets they suggest are better and more sustainable. And we all know how that ends.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #35

Why, diabetic ketoacidosis, of course. Which is why we’re all going to diiiiiiieeeeee! :rofl:

Thanks for this chart however, it doesn’t include the ‘BDK’ referred to above. I am just saying that ketosis is ketosis or it is ketoacidosis which is not ketosis or glucose burner which is not ketosis. I find that defining it in other terms is redundant.

Dang that’s creepy Bob!!!

I first saw it on my phone and was thinking it was a little creepy but tonight I was perusing on my desktop. Crikey!

Nutritional Ketosis, induced nutritional Ketosis, Ketosis, Keto acidosis. Only one name for that truly bad one there. Four names for the healthy way of eating that removes Diabetes.

I would say defining it in other terms is misleading and confusing, and is intentional. It’s a political agenda. Not science. Not medicine. Politics. Politics rarely deals with truth, just agendas.

“A politician always wants something, and a politician never gives away anything without getting something in return”

Listen to the NoAgenda podcast. These two guys take what’s in the news and deconstruct it. Things like, who benefits from that pipeline being built where? How many people died where? Politics get people killed. Science/Medicine should never, ever, be about consensus, it should be about facts.
[interesting fact, in that night club about a year ago in Florida. The one guy with the assault weapon was holding all those people hostage. A firefight broke out. A lot of people died. None of them shot by him. They were shot by several different weapons. But politics keeps that off the air. It doesn’t fit in with the agenda. They were all killed by police weapons, not the genuine nut job.]
