I’m cracking up!
My first thought was wiping my butt…:joy:

Equally, just as useful.

The writer of that article is someone who wants to believe her definition of “normal eating” is to embrace her beloved carbs (how lazy?) and that it is also “sustainable” and now playing the good ole switcharoo with her definition of ‘awareness’ into an excuse to taking years to “re-established a relationship with food” transforming the definitions further into a “eating disorder.” What a bunch of self-pitying; blame everyone else bunch of gobbledygook?

She writes:

“…you can accomplish these same goals by, for example, replacing Wonder bread with a healthier carb. …”

With what? A whole grain bread? Will do the same exact thing, trap cholesterol in your blood stream?

Micronutrients are more important than a carb or a fiber (body does not need it), your body does not care what vehicle is used for the transport!

I could go on about this, just amazes me how stupid somebody can be with such brilliant writing skills?

Not a very scientific or factual article. I don’t know of anyone who has switched to a keto WOE that loads up n “keto bars”. Unless I missed it I don’t think she said how long she was eating low carb. The whole writing seemed focused on people that start keto as a fad temporary quick fix diet. I realized she had a little OCD going on when she “ate seven almonds at bedtime to stave off hunger”. This also didn’t sound like someone who is truly in ketosis either.

I had to laugh at the image she painted of a nutritionist that didn’t want her last name used. I imagined a darkened silhouette with an altered voice being scared of ketonian retribution. And most notable is the closing comment that the only diet that works is CICO.

If I only knew that the only food restriction I needed was to abstain from Wonder bread I could have avoided this horrific, socially paralyzing fad diet. She does have one vaid point though. I do have a F’d up relationship with bacon now.

The mind boggles! :grin:

Radical diets like keto bring radical change, and I’m not referring to pounds you might shed from depriving your body of an essential macronutrient; I’m talking about changes in your social world, your relationship with food, and your mental health.

LOL. We don’t eliminate entire food groups like vegans do with meat and dairy - just severely limit the carbs - but you certainly don’t see the vegans talked about in such a negative manner.

Doesn’t fit the agenda.

The answer to these 2 questions explain 99% of media, govt and corporations…

“Follow the Money” and “Who benefits?”

@Carolus_Holman - I have to think this is paid for by those who stand to lose money by people eating ketogenically. It’s just so far out there, with so much factually wrong…

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #29

Yes! That’s the answer to people who say we’re eliminating an entire food group—“but the vegans do, too!”

(Doug) #30

Paul, perhaps it’s just me wanting to have a laugh at some people, but I bet that deep down inside, quite a few vegans are having to work hard, damping down cravings - and this makes them grouchy.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #31

Well, my sugar cravings sometimes make me grouchy, too, so I don’t blame them.

ITM,

Sounds like yet another someone who has been, “Hit in the Mouth”

— if that didnt make sense, listen to the NoAgenda Podcast. It will help shrink your amigdula, as they disect the news as it relays current events.

We know they are, because they keep coming up with ideas for fake meat.

(Scott) #34

And then move to “cow farts will kill the planet” to force people to eat the fake meat.

I think I read the same article as everyone else. However, I have a different interpretation on it. Here’s a few relevant aspects I’ve gleaned from it.

It appears she followed Keto for around three years.

During that time she was exercising, or at least very active.

She held to the very low level of carbohydrate intake during her time, as if her metabolism was deranged.

Eventually, she experienced detrimental metabolic effects.

Nothing in the article was surprising, but provided a good example of ignoring the long term effects of carb deprivation and denial of the adaptive hormonal changes of a chronic nutritional pattern. There was also no mention of the role of either fatty acids or hepatic gluconeogenesis in her article, indicating she was only taught Keto dogma rather than an understanding of Lipolysis.

Wherever she got her information on Keto merely provided her with Dogma rather than Science. It never informed her of the concept of Maintenance, or the necessity of adapting carb intake to insure metabolic health.

It’s much like many here experiencing things like year long stalls.

There is a very funny show about a company called “Veridian” (sp?). They have a R&D department that works on everthing from self heating plates to MRE’s and even dabbled in lab grown meat.

Oh, ha! I didn’t even read the next part of your post before I was like, “This must be a No Agenda listener.” ITM!
