I could not, well, I would not want to give up the foods I eat on Keto but I got curious when I put up an exercise and diet topic (my keto experience) and got a reply, just one so far. The person shared how they’d been working out in a gym 35 years, and they ate a whole-food, no processed, plant-based diet and wanted to know about my daily foods.
I answered and of course they got an earful, they asked so I told my story. The reason I am posting this is how could both of us be improving our health when we are basically the same age, but eating almost opposite diets?
I started a video to watch but the guy was anti keto, low-carb etc. so I just wasn’t interested. I suppose there are opposite studies being done, but can we talk about this, maybe even some personal experience with plant-foods (I guess like vegan, more than vegetarian).
One thing I noticed on a lady I’m watching for weight-bearing exercises is, I don’t see much muscle except on her arms. Can a person build muscle without meats, fish, poultry? She just looks like she has a pretty good layer of fat, maybe like to see her BF %.
I guess I like to find things to dig into and find some answers, like why can they eat that way when carbs turn to glucose. Eating that many every day including beans etc., vegetable oils, if they use them, wouldn’t that attribute to Insulin resistance?
Thanks all, sorry I’m not hear more to share things that are improving, I doubt I ever drift away from keto. I attribute most if not all my success with my health, and a Taper from clonazapam with little or zero withdrawal symptoms, including my gym workouts Denise
PS working on my bone density (osteoporosis, start of) now to see if I can reverse or at least stop that with my diet and some supplements like collagen, Boron, MK-7, D3. Feedback welcome
Found this by Diet Doctor’s Bret Scher, makes a lot of sense, and I think a very fair comparison:
