You had a try at Keto, it didn’t work for you. What now? You have to eat (eventually)

Ask Penn and Tellar? Apparently he ddi a potato diet and lost a heap of weight.

This is confusing. I don’t think I’ve replied to you, yet. But you seem to be a proponent of Keto, yet open-minded to other possibilities. And you’re quite knowledgeable about physical science. If I’ve been overly corrosive in my attitude, it wasn’t my intent. I’ve said all I should say, and a new topic forum wouldn’t be advisable for me. You’ve probably realized that by now, too. Thanks.

Were you being corrosive at all? Possibly slightly challenging, in which some developed an irritation response.

The diversity of our thinking and personal experience may combine to improve both our daily progress. My current best understanding is that metabolic ketosis is a normal, natural state for the healthy body. It is the result of a low insulin state with higher glucagon allowing release of fatty acids from body fat areas to travel to the liver to be converted into blood ketones. The free fatty acids themselves can be used as energy, particularly for cardiac muscle. Blood glucose is available for glucose dependent tissues and ketones are available as an energy source as well.

In a food environment in some industrial places in the world where predominantly carbohydrate containing substances are highly processed and made edible, and where plant seeds are highly processed to extract oils that are eaten, we’ve run into a population wide health problem.

If you eat your way and have healthy metabolic physiology, processing the plant foods in your diet to remove lectins (a good idea, I think), then good on you for improving your health. If that diet is combined with eating within food timing windows, a low stress work life, deep restful nightly sleep, friendly and enriching human interactions and companionship, kindness to the living planet and unforced physical activity that depletes liver and muscle glycogen each day, then I dare say you will potentially live a healthy and happy life.

Now tell me about saturated fat and clogged arteries, please.

Keep chatting here, it’s fine. The thread was built to explore ideas.

They also lived in Okinawa pre mid 20th century. Translocation of diet through time, space, population (genetics) and culture?

I forget what study it was that when any culture starts accessing processed carbohydrates from the industrialized world that’s when you start seeing diabetes. When you lay your eyes on your first Reese’s peanut butter cups your hooked for life.

Bunny, it’s always your second sentence that slays me. :rofl:

Compile it. Make that list…bullet the wrongs of keto then we can debate those.
what exactly is wrong with the keto diet lifestyle from your view and science to back it up?
make it good cause the heavy hitters on this board are gonna put out science against what you list.

Weird…I wonder if he is HEALTHY??
