Keto

[bestboys]

Thank you, a lot of information and some chips learned for yourself. I'm just an athlete, and I want to get rid of excess fat now. As far as I know, the keto diet, which is now gaining popularity, can help me. And it seems to me for a reason, because you can eat any fatty food that contains proteins and carbohydrates, almost in any amount. The main thing is simply to reduce the intake of complex carbohydrates. So it seems to me that there is nothing complicated in this. The only thing I can say is that you need to eat more vegetables because if you only eat meat, it is tough for the body to digest it, you need to consume more fiber. I read this from an interesting article about ketosis.

hello,

Hello. Welcome to the forum. I'm not sure why you think you can get good answers in a VEGAN forum. But I'm glad you thought you would try.
First off I probably need to disclose that I am severely biased against Keto diets. I probably should recuse myself but I think my biases were created by facts not fiction.
Keto is one of the worst diets that are being sold to the public.
There are new studies showing Keto is linked with cancer, kidney failure, and heart disease.
And it IS unsustainable. All of the doctors who have written Keto Diet books say (usually in the first chapter) that it is a short term diet and not heathy to stay on for longer than 6 months. Most of the doctor recommended plans are for 3 to 6 weeks.
The one good thing I can say about Keto is that it IS effective. People on the keto diet DO lose weight. However studies show that people who lose weight rapidly (including keto dieters) are likely to gain it right back.

Weight loss isn't even in your list of objective so I don't know why you would even consider Keto a good idea.

I'm not sure what is in your Keto breakfast but it must not include many carbs. Perhaps your previous non-keto breakfasts had something in them to created brain fog. and all you have to do is eliminate that.

The thing is low carb diets are just bad. It turns out that carbs are really good for you. Fruits and vegetables are high in carbs and they are also high in all your vitamins and minerals.

A lot of nutritionists talking bout diets categorized by the percentage of Carbs, protein and fats.
Keto is generally a 10-20-70 diet. The concept is that by eating very little carbs you force your body into ketogenesis. I really don't understand why anyone would do that. I know that there are some benefits but it just doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

IMHO, a better diet is one that is more balanced. Something like a 60-20-20 diet.

I just scrolled thru this thread. I suggest you go back to the beginning and read some of the posts.

If I could agree with this post 10 times then I would!

Just reading that list of fatty, high protein foods made my guts twist and my entire body cringed.

I do hope you reconsider your decision for your health's sake and also for the animals' sake!!

Are you intending to eat meat? If so, why do you identify as vegan?

I find it so strange that anyone veg'n would take any interest in keto. Everyone I've known to try it only liked it because it allowed so much meat dairy and eggs!
A plant based diet is the healthiest, and the best for keeping full with it's nutrient dense, and caloricly low foods.
Keto makes even less sense as a vegan

I still think Keto is a stupid diet.

Keto diet study shows increased LDL cholesterol, higher apolipoprotein B and reduced gut bacteria

A team of health and nutrition specialists at the University of Bath, working with colleagues from the University of Bristol, the Oxford University Hospital Trusts, Maastricht University, and the Teagasc Food Research Center, has found that people on a ketogenic diet may experience an increase...

MOD POST
I have closed this thread as it's a spam magnet as well as not likely to help further the cause of veganism.

If anyone wants to start a less open-ended thread about keto, then that would be fine. I will however not accept a thread to share links to keto websites.
