youre losing weight because youre losing muscle mass while simultaneously becoming fatter. theres a reason every sensible source for nutritional information promotes that the vast majority of energy supply should be from carbs. youre risking damaging your liver or potentially much much worse.

the Lipolysis, the process that essentialy is "burning your fat", requires you to have a normal carb itnake to function properly instead of having your body try to reverse engineer carbs so your central nervous system doesnt die. Its bad for your body and you should not do it

Ketogenic diets have been around since the early 20th century as a way to help control epilepsy and various metabolic disorders. ketoacidosis only occurs if you aren't balancing the protein intake with higher fat intake as well, or if you have a metabolic issue that prevents you from metabolizing the fatty acids. even in that case, your body is metabolizing fat stores as well.

also low-carb diets (though not ketogonic) have been staples of many nomadic or hunting/gathering cultures throughout history. if you go to pre-agriculture, it's doubtful most human diets were primarily carbohydrate based. whether that was actually healthier or not is another question, but longevity was at least approximate.

im pretty sure I remember the central nervous system requiring Glucose to function at all, so even if you supplement your diet with more fat you can easily run into the problem of producing a lot of keton bodies because your body is trying to reverse engineer food for your cns

even if you could sensibly handle a diet such as this you shouldnt recommend it to people with no training in nutritional science as they are going to ruin their liver by shoveling fast food down their throat more than usual

im gonna put on my big Ron pants and just say ive done several years of nutritional science and the essential lesson to take away from it is that any of those garbage diets and quickfix solutions only aim at bringing money to fuckwits like the Ducan dude and wont bring you any longlasting, positive results, but only superficial ones that backfire.

if youre not a bodybuilder, extreme sports person man guy, or whatever, but just some average dude who wants to lose weight, go with the recommendations of the DGE (the german society for nutrition, as thats the one im familiar with) which was, iirc, 60% carbs 25% fat and 15% protein, make sure to consume mostly complex carbs, eat your fruits and veggies like mom told you to and do some sport. its the stuff passed aorund as conventional wisdom but well, its right

I mean it simply stands to reason that paleolithic humans didn't eat as much carbohydrates as neolithic or modern humans but any statement like "paleolithic humans followed a low-carb diet" can't be supported because we just don't have any hard evidence. They didn't have agriculture but there were also a lot of countervailing factors like pastoral practices, the much larger variety of wild grains that existed back then, etc., and you can't really extrapolate back based on current band-level societies because these aren't actually analogues to paleolithic humans unchanged for millennia, they're societies deeply shaped and often outright created by agricultural societies.

I never said anything to the contrary, and I never extrapolated from modern band-level societies? All I said was that paleolithic diets had probably significantly lower amount of carbohydrates in their diet compared to neolithic diets, and that there are modern band-level societies with low carbohydrate consumption that survive just fine compared to agricultural society

It's not necessarily unreasonable but I also don't think it's particularly informative anthropologically let alone nutritionally. Anyway the reason I started arguing about this at all is because you were saying something much more specific, that paleolithic diets "weren't primarily carbohydrate-based" which is a really dubious statement and seems to imply that pre-agricultural humans all ate like traditional Inuit or something.

#1879
my diet is 50% protein, 45% fat, and 5% carbs, the increased protein is because I lift a lot, everything that has been said about ketosis here has been wrong, unless you have advanced insulin resistant diabetes lol. my only problems are needing to drink more water because of the lack of glycogen in my muscles, which carry 4 grams of water for every gram of their mass and needing to take potassium and magnesium supplements because of their scarcity in a low-carb diet. before this I never just maintained a calorie deficit and ate whatever as long as I stayed around my goal, with this I maintain the same deficit but feel a lot more full because fat causes satiety.

There are a lot of misconceptions about fat and people just don't understand how the body works in the first place. im not saying everyone has to eliminate carbs completely from their diet, but eating sugary drinks, sugary snacks, cakes, bowls of pasta with no nutrients, etc is likely why diabetes is so widespread everywhere. eating good fats will neither kill you not make you fat, they are just a differently metabolized sources of energy.

also I'm fine lol, I'm kinda "a biologist" and knew about the brain utilizing ketone bodies to sustain itself before I ever heard of people inducing ketosis, I of course also did my research and asked others what they thought of my findings. Everyone around me is a health professional, so I don't think I'm gonna die any time soon. If I was just some random guy with no knowledge of molecular biology finding a "fad" diet, I would be skeptical too, but I have had no I'll effects doing this and have only had massive gains.


Edit: oh when I said I eat "10x more than I did before," I actually do maintain the same caloric deficit I always had, but I just feel extremely more sated because of the increased fat intake.
