You guys seem to ignore this:
It's not clear what kind of possible long-term health risks a low-carb diet may pose because most research studies have lasted less than a year. Some health experts believe that if you eat large amounts of fat and protein from animal sources your risk of heart disease or certain cancers may actually increase.
But most studies have found that at 12 or 24 months, the benefits of a low-carb diet are not very large. A 2014 review found that higher protein, low-carbohydrate diets may offer a slight advantage in terms of weight loss and loss of fat mass compared to a normal protein diet. At a year, the difference was only about a pound (about 0.4 kilograms), though, and those who had the greatest benefits stuck to the diet long term.1 -

I don't care for low carb diets personally, but I'm not going to tell other people how to eat. Lots of people have success with it, just like how people have success with simple CICO.3 -

Quit fearmongering, or post your peer-reviewed scientific sources to support the claims you're making.
I don't eat keto, but it's not inherently dangerous so there's no reason to try and scare people away from it.1 -

LOL I know the long term health consequences of lower fat diets for me. It was weight gain, insulin resistsnce and inflammation that made managing other health issues extremely difficult. Short term keto (1+ year) appears to be giving better results already.2 -
i don't think any strict restricted diet can be healty on the long term usually it to acheive a goal (health or weight) that people follow one until there goal is reached. let not discuss if it is worth it only the person doing it can say it after the goal is reached but usualy after that people incorporate carb back slowly i don't belive any keto dieter could live on without tasting fruits ever again but i do believe some i willing to deprive themselfs of it a certain time to achieve there wish.
i for exemple have no choice but to eat no carb for a while, i have asthma (and several episodes daily) i once followed a low carb diet for 6 month during which i went from 4 asthma episodes a day, runny nose, etc etc to Zero. i spent the next 6 months asthma free and almost mucus free even allowed myself fruits in the summer and other naturally sugary foods. Then I started eating "c.@p" (when you feel healthy again, cookies have a way to tempt you) and now the whole nightmare is back.
For some reasons very Low carb / keto works for me, is it long term? Not in the strictest sense of the diet but a healthy middle will have to do for me once i stopped my asthma. Low carb is going to be a way of life for me, not much of a choice in that. the alternative is not much of a life (on a mostly vegan diet i had asthma none-stop. So i did not last a month).
But i do believe that if anyone is going for a very restrictive life style long term one might want to keep a medical track of his health just in case. we are not all made the same way when in come to how ower body copes with our lifestyle. So an medical check up is good to show if you life choice is the right one for you now and tomorrow (one never know how ower body and tolerances my change).

That statement isn't any better. You were overeating, the macro composition had nothing to do with that.1 -

Nope. I had weight gain after insulin resistance. That was what took me into the overweight range.
My reactive hypoglycemia was a large problem for me. I would get tunnel vision and the shakes when I didn't eat every copuple of hours. My autoimmune issue were quite a bit worse when I had grains and larger amounts of carbs in my life. Migraines are gone. Cognition is clearer....
Not all problems are caused or worsened by a caloric surplus. Sometimes food choices are the problem.1 -

I have reactive hypoglycemia and my doc basically said just don't worry about it. I found out when I had the three hour GTT during pregnancy. My blood sugar went down to 70 but weirdly it doesn't seem to affect me. I don't know if it was temporary or not but I am sorry you have to deal with it.0 -
People don't get fat without a surplus... we've been over this millions of times.3

Do you think you'll be able to keep that weight off after you reach your goal weight? Is keto a diet or something you plan on maintaining?1 -

You ignored my response the first time you said that. Where are your studies proving that animal products increase the risk of heart disease or cancer. Epidemiological studies and studies based on food frequency questionnaires need not apply. Only interested in peer reviewed, RCTs. TIA!

They do but not too crazily. And it still means you overate more than your body was using. Been over that one a billion times.1 -
LOL
And yes, I ate more than my body used. I agreed with that all 999,999,999 times too. LOL0 -

I don't eat low carb because I think it causes magical fairy dust extra weight loss over and above calorie restriction. I eat LCHF because it helps me maintain a deficit.6 -
nvmomketo I am still losing about 3 lbs a week which I am happy with. I knew I would drop a lot of water weight at first but that's cool with me. I am start an exercise plan next week so I hope that adds to the weight loss.

I don't plan on staying keto after I reach my goal weight but I do plan on staying low carb. I will not go back to eating grains at all I feel so much better now that I have given them up. And the one time I did a some since quiting them it hurt my stomach. I will stay grain free and low carb1 -
