> Going completely off the rails and jumping on fad diets instead is not a wise choice
it seems your opinion on how to tell which diet is fad is based not on research but on a quick google search. inform yourself on the topic, then we can argue.
> The current recommendation of a diet heavy in plants, low in saturated fat, moderate in carbs (complex carbs, ditch the simple ones) is perfectly sound, a good average diet for the average person
except none of what you said makes the keto diet bad. i can grant you that it's not recommended for average person mainly because it requires a lot of knowledge and discipline to be following properly, but the rest is bs.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoKeto is definitely a fad diet, same as Atkins, paleo and a ton of others. I'm deep in the crossfit world, and I definitely did look at keto and paleo, before an actual dietician talked some sense into me. Ketosis is a medical condition that is potentially harmful and even deadly in some cases. You absolutely should not go into ketosis without qualified medical assistance.
- keymone 9y ago> Ketosis is a medical condition that is potentially harmful and even deadly in some cases it is not compatible with certain diseases or other medical conditions, but blanket statement like that is bullshit.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoThere is a very real risk of kidney damage, if not supervised by a medical professional.
- keymone 9y agosource needed. proper hydration and not overeating protein means kidneys will be fine.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoKeto and paleo are by definition "overeating protein".
- grzm 9y agoIf you’re going to make a blanket statement like this, would you also provide the definitions you’re working with? Ketosis (not to be confused with ketoacidosis) is a metabolic cycle. Paleo is a diet which, while having no completely agreed upon definition that I’m aware of, often focuses on limiting grain-based sources of carbohydrates. If your definition of “overeating protein” is based on a ratio of macronutrients, that’s something that can be usefully discussed; similarly if you’re referring to some quantity of protein. As it is, you’ve stated something which really isn’t helpful in moving discussion forward.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoI'm not going to argue with fanatics.
- keymone 9y agojust as i said - inform yourself on the topic, come arguing later. you have no idea what you're talking about. just to not leave you completely uninformed - general guideline for protein on keto is 1g per kilogram of bodyweight. i really want to see how will you argue that that is "overeating protein", especially considering that you're "deep in crossfit world".
