Decided against the Palumbo diet.

You are not looking at the BIG picture
Carbohydrate intake (processed or not) is not the cause for obesity/CV disease/etc
It is a result of inactivity+food abundance. Simply we move less and eat more becasue food is easily accessible
And actually studies show we only consume 50calories more today than 50 yeras ago. So clearly the problem is inactivity, which leads to obesity; and once you're obese you are pretty much metabolically ****ed
And the HFCS leading to disease is also kinda silly, it's more of a correlation rather than a causation, people that eat a ton of fast food (with HFCS) will inevitably be consuming a shitload of calories and inevitably be obese

Again this isn't due to processed carbohydrate. It's a result of lower activity levels (energy output) and increased calorie intake (energy input)
WRONG AGAIN...LOOK AT THE NUMBERS....YES PEOPLE EAT MORE TODAY AND MORE THAN THEY NEED...BUT AGAIN IT IS THE TYPE OF FOODS EATEN(THAT IS SIMPLE NUTRITION 101.....DO SOME MORE RESEARCH...ITS NOT LIKE THIS IS A REVELATION


Again you're thinking "small picture"
The only medical benefit of a keto diet is for people with epilepsyCOMPLETELY INCORRECT...KETO DIETS HAVE BEEN USED BY THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY FOR OVER 30-50 YEARS MAYBE MORE TO TREAT OBESITY, TYPE 2 DIABETES, AND CARDIAC DISEASE...PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH. In which they don't follow a diet that is remotely close to what is recommended on the board here (they follow 90% fat 10% protein)
As for the general population being treated for disease with a keto diet, there isn't anything magical about a keto diet. If someone with poor health was put on a keto diet and improved their internal health (BP, lipids, etc) it was because they lost bodyweight/fat.
AGAIN PLEASE DO SOME MORE RESEARCH...IGNORANCE OF THE FACTS IS NOT HELPING ANYONE HERE...THERE'S PLENTY OF INFORMATION OUT THERE...YOU JUST NEED TO LOOK...


Eliminating a macronutrient group IS extreme. PLEASE NAME ME ONE ESSENTIAL CARBOHYDRATE....JUST ONE!!!!

I love discussing nutrition/dietetics/health sciences because it's the field I'll be entering within about 18 months

IVE BEEN IN IT FOR 20 YEARS...ERR TOO LONG...AM I AGING MYSELF...;O)
