People That Think Low-Carb is Good For You are Wrong

You can lose weight on any diet as long as you have a calorie deficit.
Yes, you can. But you also implied that I would not gain weight eating over my TDEE as long as it was from vegetables.0 -
Everyone that thinks a low-carb is good for you and will work in the long-term is wrong. You're pushing your bodies into an ill state called Ketosis. Your body runs off of carbs, I eat 600g of carbs a day with under 40g of protein and 20g of fats. This uninformative and lieing industry is telling us that meat, dairy, and eggs are good for us? That stuff is loaded with cholesterol and will end up hurting you in the long run. Eat a high carb, low fat, vegan/vegetarian (low dairy) diet and live life to the fullest.
I admire ethical vegans and have a lot of respect for them. However, the ones I admire the most aren't all in-your-face about it. You'll have more success getting your point across with a different approach.0 -
As the OP is proving - more and more with each post.
He just wants attention - like any other troll, ignore him and he'll go away.
Aww can't I play with him some more? @anvilhead
I promise I won't break him

FTA
Carbohydrate overfeeding produced progressive increases in carbohydrate oxidation and total energy expenditure resulting in 75-85% of excess energy being stored.

Age is generally relevant to life experience yaknow
But unfortunately, you usually have to be a certain age to know that....0 -
A personal choice isn't a personal choice when it comes at the expense of someone else.

I lived that diet for six years and now I have Hashimoto's. And high cholesterol.0 -

I wish they had a cheeseburger emoji for a situation like this. I eat meat. Sorry, not sorry. That's really all he's concerned with. Sure, it's high in fat. It MAY lead to heart disease in the future. I also MAY get cancer, diabetes or have a heart attack. *kitten* happens.
Your life choice doesn't have to be my life choice. Accept it and get over it.0 -

Ah, to be 19 and know everything again.
I think you're confusing ketosis with ketoacidosis.
But on with the show:
Cite your sources. Because as written, it's just your unsubstantiated opinion.
As noted by the Mayo Clinic, "low-carb diets may help prevent or improve serious health conditions, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease."(http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/low-carb-diet/art-20045831?pg=2)
As documented by the Cleveland Clinic, "The ketogenic diet is a way of treating patients with poorly controlled epilepsy." (http://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases_conditions/hic_Epilepsy_Frequently_Asked_Questions/hic_Introduction_to_the_Ketogenic_Diet)
And WebMD reports "Some research suggests that ketogenic diets can help lower your risk of heart disease. Other studies show specific very-low-carb diets help people with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Researchers are also studying the effects of these diets on acne, cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and nervous system diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Lou Gehrig's disease."(http://www.webmd.com/diabetes/type-1-diabetes-guide/what-is-ketosis)
Funny because meat is more insulin resistant than carbs.. Also, http://www.andjrnl.org/article/S0002-8223(09)00452-0/abstract -- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22850317 -- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11108325 -- Cite some studies instead of just using WebMD lmao0 -
That doesn't say what you think it says.
LOL. This is what happens when somebody with an agenda tries to interpret a scientific study. In a caloric excess, 75-85% of excess calories were still stored as fat on the high carb diet. Translation: if you overeat, you get fat - it doesn't matter what the diet composition is.0 -
That's not what that study suggests....0 -
Here is your problem SIR- Your body can use Carbs, protein, fat even alcohol (alcohol converts differently) for energy it converts them to Glycogen then glucose and you have about a 90 min window (already stored in your body) till you would actually need "Carbs"
to supply an emergency quick conversion of energy for say a marathon..0 -
And you can be healthy on any diet.
If that wasn't true, than I would question how my family has lived into their upper 90's (and still kicking) on a meat and potatoes diet.
People have lost weight on a twinkies diet. Calorie deficit is what they did though, it doesn't have to be healthy.0 -
My bad, eating a ton of veggies is so bad for you! Go back to eating your saturated fatty foods!
Hardly a vegetable has past your lips according to your diary since you started it on the 6th so I don't get your point.
You can't try to shame others for what they eat when you don't even eat what you are trying to push!0 -

Well, considering I lost 90lbs, then had a child, then lost 65lbs, all in a reasonable time frame and without consideration for avoiding carbs, I'd say you're right.
ETA - right about me having more experience....

Mayo Clinic, and Cleveland Clinic above. I read those, your first link doesn't work, and the others don't lend themselves to your mission. You're targeting esoteric groups at best, troll.

The explain how my family commonly lives into their 90's (late 90's that is) on a very heavy meat based diet?0 -

There are twice the amount of calories in a gram of fat. So yea, that makes sense.
However, your claim was eating in a caloric surplus and not gaining weight. Your pubmed copy/paste doesn't support that.0 -

I like how you move the goalposts.
Perhaps you should reread the post you were responding to when you posted the linkDo you have a peer reviewed study that states you can eat in a caloric surplus and not gain weight?0
