Lol...look up "blue zones"...they are some of the healthiest populations in the world and consume diets relatively high in carbohydrates.
Lemme guess...you're keto right?
I don't label my diets I just eat CLEAN I don't look into diet programs or plans . Yea but you read that off the internet....if your high in carbs you need to be high in protein . And some fats .... her protein and fat lvls are very low . That's why she needs to see her doctor for recommendations
You don't label your diets...but you label it "clean"...got it.
By the by, there are a lot of "clean" carbohydrates as well.
No, you don't need to be high in protein if you're high carb...most people who are higher carb are more moderate protein and fat.
While I would say she's not getting optimal levels of protein, she's getting enough and would appear to be at or over the RDA...again, not optimal, but also not detrimental to anything.
I would personally think dieting is easier by reducing carbs (not necessarily low carb), but that's just me and carbs are an easy thing to flex in and out of your diet...

Here's the thing (from my point of view): advice from the point of view of your experience is very different than categorical claims of fact (like the ones you have made above).
"Here's how a keto diet helped me . . . " versus "No, you can't lose weight if you're eating too many carbohydrates . . . " . . . do you see the difference between those two?
I, for example, have experience losing weight as a vegan eating a diet that is higher in carbohydrates. If someone is interested, I'm always happy to share my experiences. But I would never translate my success into thinking that everyone has to lose weight as a vegan eating higher carbohydrate or that it's somehow superior to other eating patterns that result in weight loss.
All I recommended was lowering carbs and increasing fats and proteins. I did not once say you can ONLY lose weight restricting carbohydrates. I apologize if it came off that way but it wasn't my intention. better be careful to post my experience here because if the belief isn't popular and widely accepted, it's bound to get backlash.
You didn't get backlash over an unpopular belief. You got backlash specifically over the claim of "glycogen overflow, insulin spike, fat storage". It is just not accurate in any way and has no scientific basis. People do that kind of thing here all the time and those less well read, might buy into it.
Post your personal experience all you want. If you are going to make claims about physiology, or other scientific claims, they will be challenged if not accurate. That is reasonable and it doesn't make anyone negative. It makes them accurate and interested in truth. Take it as a healthy, if uncomfortable, learning experience.
So then what happens when glycogen stores are filled and excess glucose is in your blood? Insulin rises. And then fat is stored... it's not inaccurate
And people don't care about this outside of the context of net fat storage, which is entirely dependent on energy balance, and has nothing to do with any of this. You're muddying the waters.13 -

There is no net fat storage while in a caloric deficit. That's simple physiology.
No one is arguing there is a net fat storage. If I eat one meal a day, I will store fat now and if I am in a deficit, I will burn what I stored and more over the next 24 hours before my next meal for the day. Doesn't mean I haven't stored fat.
So this seems like something that is completely unnecessary and distracting for OP to think about in the context of her *being in a deficit*.
How does this help OP?11 -

So how exactly is that relevant to anything? Our bodies are in continually fluctuating states of lipogenesis and lipolysis. What matters is the net effect over time.7 -

@VintageFeline What happens when I eat refined carbs and animal sourced protein? In my observations Bloating and bad digestion. I can't say it would happen for everyone thus the disclaimer and belief statement.0

And who cares if there's no net fat storage? No one. Congratulations, you've made a point about the digestive process to pick a nit just to confuse the issue.6 -

Are you aware how people like Gary Taubes and Robert Lustig sell the "science" of low carbing?
They perpetuate the idea of NET fat storage from carbohydrates irrespective of energy balance. Full stop. When someone comes on here and shares what they've learned about the carbohydrate/insulin hypothesis, they are presupposing that assumption, because that's what they think.
Congratulations, you're defending something you think you're not.15 -
