Agree to an extent but I think with keto you are working with human evolution to provide a better intake that matches how we have evolved.

People benefit from an ominvore diet heavy on fats and protein, greens to a great extent and supplemented by limited unprocessed carbs.

Eat like the North American apex predator you are - the Grizzly Bear diet.

I was skeptical of "diets" until a coworker started Keto and I initially blew him off. "Diets" typically mean deprivation and they dont work but about two or three sentences into his explaining keto and knowing what I know about my daughters Type I diabetes I knew this is the way we should be eating.

That FDA high carb shit with an equal amount of protein and fat is a recipe for obesity. Combine that with our commercial processed food full of garbage and you might as well be merciful and just put bullets in people rather than have them suffer heart disease and other health crushing results.

Think about it if your ancestry is of the temperate regions of the world you might get carbs 3 months out of the year unless there is some sort of means to "store" through the other 9 months. When carbs are not in season you were eating meat. Its probably been less than 150 years where carbs could be reliably stored through the winter and prior to that carbs were breads and grains that had full fiber not this processed white bleached shit we have.

Even in areas of the world where carbs may be a year round food its natural shit and high in fiber.

"Access to carbs 3 months out of the year in temperate climates." I don't think the person who said that understands much about food storage, gardening, or edible plants and foraging.

There are and were lots of means of storing carbs/fruits and vegatbels and there have been for a long long time.

A lot of temperate climates have different edible crops that will grow 8-9 months out of the year, if not 12 months. I am in CO and I have been harvesting lettuce, spinach, and asparagus for 3 months now. Strawberries for almost two weeks. I cut about 5 cubic feet of lambs quarter yesterday for compost. I could have been eating it for the last two months also, as well as the sunflower plants. Onion greens, mustard greens, chards that over wintered. Radishes were always a favorite for their quick production. All in all here, where we freeze hard in the winter, with no covering, you can have food coming out of the garden all but 2-4 months per year.

I planted the left over potatoes from last year in March for this year. My sweet potatoes lasted all winter too, sitting in a box in the garage.

Carbs are almost always easier to gather than protein anywhere. The only place you really see this nearly pure protein diet with only 3 months of growing season and available carbs is the arctic.

I've been a lab rat of sorts for my doctor.

I started Keto just as I picked up a new primary care. I had a pre keto blood lab through work and one from my primary care as I was about two weeks into it.

She was a little bit skeptical of my bacon and eggs breakfast, high fat lifestyle. She cautioned me.

Three years into it my total cholesterol number is down, bad cholesterol number is down and my good cholesterol number is twice the number they like to see.

Weight is down twenty pounds.

Doc says whatever I am doing is working for me.

I feel great and energy level is consistent - no carb highs and lows - because my metabolism steadily, "pellet stove" like, feeds fat into the furnace.

My pancreas kind of feels neglected because seldom does it need to produce insulin....later in life I dont think my bod will be suffering insulin resistance because all the cells have had their share of it through a diet high in carbs.

Wish I could get my T1D daughter to go keto but the problem there is she thinks she is a vegetarian - a vegetarian that hates vegetables and only wants to eat pasta and crap.

I have been heavy all my life and tend to put on weight easily if I'm not very careful. A typical endomorph I suppose. I have become sort of a self taught expert on nutrition because I have had to be. In my experience a low carb diet is the most effective for keeping healthy and maintaining or losing weight. Nutritionally, carbs are the only macronutrient you can happily live without. Cut out 100% of protein intake, you die. Cut out 100% of fat intake, you die. That said, in some manner it still comes down to creating a caloric deficit to lose fat. Ideally, a small deficit in caloric intake with a significant increase in activity is the best approach.

I've studied and tried just about all "diets" through the years. Intrafitt, Atkins, The Zone, South Beach, Body for Life and most recently Precision Nutrition, they all have their pros and cons and I have learned things from all of them, including what not to do. I think the best and simplest prescription I have ever read for a "diet" comes from the early days of Crossfit, “eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar.” Crossfit tends to follow the zone diet and will increase fat intake when they need more energy for workouts for athletes with low body fat %. The zone balances carbs, protein and fat in a 40/30/30 ratio and carbs come almost exclusively from veggies and some fruit.

Precision Nutrition is really good for creating positive habits with your diet. I started learning about Precision Nutrition when my son was training for baseball with a world class strength and conditioning coach in Hudson, MA. It is the system they used for their athletes. It was more about habits and less about what you eat but they were specific about the what and how much to eat. They don't look at good foods or bad foods (with a few exceptions) rather they look at food choices as better and worse and strive to always make better choices. Eat only when hungry (8+ on a 1-10 scale), eat slowly and eat until 80% full were three of the key principles. I try to apply those habits with the low carb diet and it is pretty effective.

Someone mentioned BMI earlier and I'm generally not a fan. I think body fat % is a better measure, although admittedly more difficult to calculate accurately.

Great post adding some science and actual knowledge to my theories based on observation or personal testing.

Carbs have their place and I see it as injecting water or nitrous into the combustion chamber. If I am doing something "endurance" like a day long White Mountain hike I will pack carbs to support the fat burn.

For most quick hits, like an hour long PT session, I dont need energy support......but I will be very hungry afterwards.

I think the idea of the athletes carbo loading is dumb. Living near Boston the stories of Marathoners loading up on pasta the night before now makes no sense to me. These peeps would eat a big bowl of pasta, get an immediate carb high/low and a bloated feeling but the unused fuel has been turned into fat - an energy source their body is loathe to use because that is only for strategic surplus - they have not changed their furnace over to burning fat which is a 2-3 week process that requires carb starvation.

I see this in my daughters T1D. When she is sick and not eating her blood sugar numbers are perfect but.....her body is releasing ketones attempting to fuel her brain/systems but she is not a ketone burner....she risks running into ketosis and is in immediate danger. We have to try and force popsicles into her in order to get some insulin going to lower ketones. Of course when you are sick and throwing up popsicles are not even desirable and its a struggle. I understand that the first T1D to receive insulin in MA was a 30 odd year old woman - an insanely old age for someone to live to with "juvenile" diabetes. Her father kept her alive that long on a diet consisting of eggs and butter. Ive been told she wasnt healthy, very thin, very weak, but she survived long enough to see the invention of insulin and if I recall right she lived into her 80s.

My daily diet is monotonously unchanging but extremely satisfying taste wise and performance wise.

I tend to eat 6-7 pm dinner so I generally skip breakfast...kind of a mini fast. Black coffee only.

At 1000 I have a cup of mixed berries (blue, black, straw, raz) with unsweetened coconut milk vanilla yogurt. There is also a small amount of 92% cocoa chocolate added.

At 1200 (Just finished it was fantastic) is a salad (non iceberg lettuce) peppers, olives, broccoli sprouts, some sort of protein and full fat no/low sugar dressing.

At 1330 1/4 cup of mixed nuts (small amount of 92% cocoa chocolate) and black coffee.

1600 some cheese or more nuts, usually both. There is a gallon plus container of mixed nuts on the counter 24/7/365.

Dinner is meat and shit like green beans, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, or cauliflower fried in olive oil.

and water.....all day drink water.

Very tasty, filling but not bloating, easy to make, I dont do any weighing shit or ever feel like I am depriving myself.

I do break and have sugar on occasion usually birthday cake with ice cream.....a headache is sure to follow.

Good deserts that dont bother me - I mix my own whipped cream with vanilla over berries or Ill eat a coconut based unsweetened ice cream.......good tasty stuff.

This is actually insane. If you know anything about education or Catholicism, you know that Jesuits are the social justice warriors of the Catholic faith. This isn't the days of the Crusades anymore. Hard pass.

Literally, the Jesuits see themselves as the original social justice organization.

That's not really true. It is partly true. The kids coming out of top high schools in liberal areas do read, write and do math at a level way above any other group of their age in the country. They do better on their SATs etc. The indoctrination is there too, but it's silly to pretend the academics are not.

That was me with BMI, and I agree with you. It is a gross measure of the body, and a dexa scan or a bod pod is much, much better. In fact scales are silly in a lot of ways. That said, my point was that BMI ranges are not for nothing, and a lot of people will convince themselves that even though they have a BMI of 30, they just have more muscle than the average guy. I can pretty much assure you that it isn't true. If you have a BMI of 30, the chances of you being fat are extraordinarily high, unless you are enhanced. So it is a gross measurement, but it isn't for nothing, especially if you aren't nuts like I am, and actually travel to a Dexa.

I generally agree with everything else you say, though Crossfit everything tends to produce crossfitters, which is high work capacity, moderate strength. Unless you are a competitor, in which case the training is less crossfit. That isn't a problem, it's just system creating what it creates, but it is good to know going in.

Anecdotally, my diet has always been very clean, but I changed from carbs with breakfast (oatmeal) to eggs and meat for breakfast and carbs with lunch (generally an alternative pasta like garbanzo or black beans) and my workouts are better, but I work out early and drink carbs pre workout, so I think I was way out of balance going from oatmeal to basically gatorade in an hour. Not sure it has changed by body composition, which stays pretty consistent, but I feel stronger and my results are stronger.

Is it possible that the reason for Air Force 2's return after only 25 minutes of time was because someone forgot those cookies?

I'm gonna say that was the reason and everyone should spread that story all over the world. Doesn't matter if we have no proof, that never stopped the Demwits. Have at it and lets get the story all over the internet!!!!
