LCHF only good for 6 months? We're all screwed 😜

What a silly article with no real science to back up any of the claims!:

:fu: (to the article, not you!)

Lol :joy::joy::joy:

Oh gawd! I’m halfway to screwed! Guess I’ll stop for a day and then restart another six months.

(Carol Hawkins) #5

Haha, I already went 6 months over (well, just about - my ketoversary is on Jan 19th) so I’m irredeemable at this point :joy:

Just in case you didn’t think this was BS, Here’s a general 24-month study involving 83 obese patients. Conclusions: the “study confirms that it is safe to use a ketogenic diet for a longer period of time than previously demonstrated.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2716748/

Well considering that we have many long term healthy ketonians here, pretty sure we can agree on the BS angle :cow::poop:

My only guess is they think eating meat is bad. We had better keep this secret from @richard; he will be pissed that he’s way over his limit. :weary:

Not quite sure if I should laugh or cry when reading these articles. Almost every piece of nutritional advice I have seen on media in the last few days, targeted obviously for those making their resolutions…, are simply rubbish… sigh.

I might be missing a continuation in the study, it seems this particular study is for 24 weeks, unless I’m mistaken.

(carl) #11

Whoa! You’re right. Don’t know how that got past me.

Here’s a 24-month study with epileptic children

and here’s a good one involving subjects monitored over several years:

In the article, “Dr. Heather Fields, MD, an internal medicine physician at Mayo Clinic in Arizona [was] lead researcher on this study.” Searching for #6 on her list of publications found the text of the original study. It was a literature review (meta analysis?), not a Randomized Control Trial. Much of the “findings” are open to criticisms of researcher bias. Indeed, Mayo Clinic has a conflict of interest, a commercialized CICO diet plan with book. Always be skeptical, find and read the original study, and “follow the money”.

Silly article indeed. I am 3.5 years into keto and have never felt better.

(Laura) #17

I think that’s crazy… I feel better than ever…over one year now.

(Kathy Meyer) #18

And I was planning on eating this way for the rest of my life . . . .

It’s on the internet. It must be true. :laughing:
