I don't particularly care to troll outside of rnf, especially not in this thread. Fitness and health are something I'm very passionate about. And it doesn't seem like you have much to contribute aside from what you think is bullying. So we're going to cut this off right here.

its not meant literally you goof.

I still work some fruit in. That's the one thing I can't give up when it comes to carbs. Eliminating dairy is pretty hard to do as well

A few guys at work have been on keto and have lost a lot of weight (one guy has lost 45lbs). Haven't personally done any research on it though.

[Irulan]

Keto can be a good avenue for weight loss.

Whether it's a sustainable long term lifestyle in America IDK? I don't think it's something the average plebian American who's co-dependent on Taco Bell (see demolition man) can afford to properly do long term unless they overthrow their government of walmarts and supplement with rat and bug protiens.

I had avocado toast (340) and two 100 calorie cups of coffee for breakfast this morning and I've lost ~46 lb and it's going down still at 1.1 lb per week. And all I'm doing is restricting calories and eating healthy food with the occasional crazy Chinese food binge. But, even then it's healthier things on the menu like Moo Shu which comes in a vegetable variety and has a sorghum or rice based wrap. I feel like no matter what I wind up eating, even if it's out of dumpsters, I can maintain this.

I've hit a weight too now that I'm not constantly depressed and craving food and feeling malnurished as well. I could also easily go several days without eating without having a major metabolic emergency, because my liver is happy to kick in and do what it was evolved to do.

Tonight is sauerkraut and potatoes and leftover kielbasa from the deli. Saturday is delicious home made and gardened colcannon and corned beef. And when I wake up Monday I expect to see yet another lb gone.

Food Freedom is fucking good, and delicious.

Previously I've done 3 keto diets in my life, and attempted to do it while in the military. I failed and only managed to lose 15-25lb each time and became incredibly sick at high activity levels, causing me to quit. So I'm prejudiced ya. I prefer to feel good, AND lose weight.

[Irulan]

My weekly carbs/per day is averaging 120-170g.

That probably scares the fuck out of you, it's 4-5x the daily recommended UL of keto. And I'm still losing weight n being healthy. So... it's not the only way.

I agree people are excessively scared of fat and salt. Though we do consume too much salt(s) and in the incorrect ratios. Though if we cut salt out of our diet and continue to eat shitty we feel sick. We eat a lot of salt to make up for not eating right and to feel good because we are vitamin and mineral deficient, and the salt just exacerbates that over time.

Also, whats up with all the weird ass chemicals in everything that comes out of plastic bags and bottles?

Why can't I just bring a leaded glass or ceramic cup or flaggon (partial /s) to the water fountain? Why aren't my meats just wrapped up in the animals skins and connective tissues or paper that can be composted? I blame plastic for fucking our water-cycle-tables way more than E and ED drugs.

An apple or two isn’t going to make a difference as far as overall health. It’s probably mostly benefitting you. You’ll burn those carbs up quick working out. The key to this is really finding what works for you and what you’re going to stick with long term. It’s better to sustain a good balance rather than go hard on some crazy nonsustainable diet.

[Jimjam]

The problem is people get wind that too much of something (salt, fat, more recently fruit) is bad for you and totally cut it. Instead of trying to find a healthy modulation the pendulum swings too far and they lose the benefit of that nutrition.

I'll have a banana every day and a pear most days and don't sweat it.

I'll often have the pear sliced with yogurt as I reckon that fruits acid might be a bit too rad for my teeth.
