Re: Dietary Carbohydrates Impair Healthspan and Promote Mortality
#2I’ve been living a ketogenic lifestyle for a few years now. I go in and out once and a while but seeing the “fat is bad” theory thrown out the window with research like this makes it easier to remain committed.
The trouble comes with the way society has been conditioned to have carbs with every meal. Like 90% of the food my peer group eats are surrounded in carbs. Even for a company-wide lunch in the office: the go-to is usually a couple dozen pizzas.
Once you’ve lived low carb for a long time you look at people in line at a coffee house grabbing a bagel and a milkshake and just feel bad for the crash they will have later.
I’m happy to see Keto becoming more and more socially known. Accessiblity around low carb options is getting better and better. My favorite will always be a protein style burger from In-N-Out though.

Yep, it's surprising how hard it is to avoid. Compound that with sugar being in almost everything and it ends up being remarkably hard to find options that won't cause your blood sugar level to spike.

You hit the nail on the head for exactly why I couldn't stick with a ketogenic diet. It became too much of a burden on the people I was with to feed just me because everything they wanted was stuff like tacos, pizza, rice dishes, fried dishes, etc. I have an unresearched (by me) theory that the reason we have so many carb heavy diets is due to the fact that carbs are such cheap calories. They were good for surviving when we were poor but now we should move past them

#5Does it bother anyone that this study is intentionally misleading by masking the fact that the carbohydrates tested were refined sugars?

Yep. It’s all thanks to the agricultural boom. Grain is everywhere and it is CHEAP.

rice and tortillas are carbs.

#8I’ve found eating out socially on keto a big challenge (carbs still look delicious) until I found a hack: unreasonably large portions of salad, covered in salt. Salt is fucking delicious. Add olive oil too if you feel like it.

#9Can anyone provide a TLDR on what exactly the conclusion of this article is? My experience with a low-carb diet is quite similar to that of @whalesalad, and it remains much more effective than any other diet or a strict exercise regimen.

agreed.
I wish ketogenic meal kits and keto-friendly restaurant ratings / reviews / guides / accreditation were more prominent.
