or is she right?
mine is the second comment
That was my first instinct but I could tell she would have just thought I was being culty or sassy.
Scientifically proven or expert opinion? (It took me a looooong time to realise there is a significant difference)
basically I’m hoping for a reference to give her so that I don’t have to ask her
I’d say toss the ball back in her court. She made the first statement “Keto is known to cause metabolic damage.” OK, where has that been proven?
yeah but I’ve commented on her IG post about her stopping keto so I don’t want to seem antagonistic (like usual :p)
Take the softer approach and say something like “Oh! I didn’t know that! I’m really concerned that it could be true. Help me understand it and show me where you got that information from.”
I’ve had a few years now of people that, as soon as they hear I’m full-keto, toss down in front of me just about any quack opinion, study or research that they can find with the demand that I counter or disprove it. I don’t. It’s a waste of my time and energy. If I can get them questioning things themselves, it’s a win for me (and it let’s me continue to be lazy)! I’m dozens of pounds down, all my (lab proven) tests are going very positive and I feel the best I’ve felt in decades. I am all the proof I need.
Chances are there’s nothing you could say to make her change her mind now anyway, probably not worth worrying about.
yeah I’m not so much concerned with her changing her mind as I am with her followers being scared off trying
Maybe just comment something along the lines of you’re sorry she’s not done well on it, but there are plenty of people thriving and reversing serious health issues by following it. People will always draw their own conclusions and if her followers are so easily swayed away from keto then chances are they were never going to be on it for the long haul anyway.
and just read a youtube comment that keto causes muscle wastage long term. where’s the damn literature people shakes fist
Omg! I love this forum! (I’m no help, I just I opted to stop following her… ima
…)
