I’m not sure it’s great for us, although it can improve insulin response. But having eaten that way for years, decades actually, I’d much prefer the keto diet. The main problem with high carb low fat is that it’s low fat. Low or zero fat cheese, yogurt, etc., and if you do eat higher fat, then you’re no longer low fat. And it’s really easy to eat higher fat (pizza, for instance). When I started eating any fat, I got all kinds of issues, including mood swings, depression, hunger, etc. At some point, eating things like oats (only) for breakfast made me starving 10 minutes later. I somehow broke the diet or made the diet not beneficial to me.
Anyway, I mainly came here to apologize – I didn’t want to exclude vegetarians or vegans from trying the keto diet.
It’s just that when I went on Threads, the algorithm kept pushing me toward vegan accounts, and the people were militant. Things like cows are bad for the earth and we can grow crops everywhere, even on grasslands; eating a single egg a day leads to diabetes; eating cholesterol has been proven to cause people to die early. Many things like that.
I was getting a distorted view of vegans. Or at least I hope I was.
I have been blocking all these accounts and the algorithm is getting slightly better at pointing me to carnivore/keto/low carb accounts. As compared to Twitter, though, there does not appear to be as many carnivore/keto/low carb accounts on Threads, which is too bad.
