You're saying something that the low carb advocates already know.. but let's be clear it's not this underlying pathology that causes the damage.. it's the high blood sugar that causes the damage.. the high blood sugar is basically reversed by keto diets.. problem is that keto can put weight on you very easy because it's high fat and you can eat a lot of fat very quickly and get a lot of calories that way.. also keto is very hard to stay on for a long periods of time.. now lots of people will reply to me and say oh look at me my personal example look at my brother or whatever.... this is basically worthless data that you're giving me about your brother about you or whatever

Besides having the most calories per gram (9 vs 4 for protein or carb), it provides by far the cheapest, easiest calories for your body to digest.
- BigCryo 4y agoWell I am not too sure about that cheap easy calories as far as fat goes.. as far as the price yeah oils not too expensive but Meat is not cheap and meat is really the way you have to get most of the calories in fat... Easy to digest? Starchy carbs far and away the easiest
- 876978095789789 4y agoBy >provides by far the cheapest, easiest calories for your body to digest I mean metabolically cheap and easy. Your body expends the least energy digesting fat (2-3%, or 2-3 calories worth of energy for every 100 fat calories you consume), and the most digesting protein (>20%). Add to that the fact that fat has more than twice the calories per gram that carbohydrate and protein do, and it's little wonder why so many people fail with keto.
