I know for a fact that he is lying. Takes one instance to disprove a claim. I personally gained weight on a ketogenic diet with a carb level even lower than his (less than 20 g of carbs a day) because I found it hard to keep my calories under control with the sort of hunger I had.
This is not a proof, I will not be responding further.0 -

If your source wouldn't fly in a university homework, don't use it in a serious discussion about something scientific.

Don't buy into the calorie counting diets that include carbs...they're unhealthy, unsustainable, & don't work. I lost 34 lbs post-menopause at 56. I'm 58 now & feel younger & more energetic than ever.
Sadly this is all wrong...

All proof needed to refute a "All X do Y" claim is finding 1 single instance of an X where Y is not given. That IS proof.3 -

The photos on his first page were photoshopped. The gal with the white shirt has the same wrinkles but her belly was erased. I didn't need to look any further. Oh yep, I can overeat fat not gain weight, not ever.2 -

That should be quoted in the "Why do people detest low carb" thread because it's a prime example of all the reasons.4 -

Very interesting. People first believed that the world was flat. I'm just saying. It's a lot of different ways to look at things. Not defending or undefending this link. It is interesting though.
lololol Who in the h.e.ll could even afford to eat 5k+ calories a day? So much horse crap.
People with jobs, maybe?
Interestingly, LCHF is usually cheaper to eat at high calories on (assuming that you cook for yourself), because the whole fat phobia thing still lingering tends to keep fattier meat choices cheaper. Compare the edible yield cost if chicken wings and thighs to breasts, then realize that said wings and thighs are also far more calorically dense than the breast. Now do the same thing with say 93/7 ground beef, vs. 73/27. Now again with ribs vs. pork loin. And once more with whole brisket vs. trimmed. Whole eggs vs. egg whites. I can do this all day.3 -

Agreed on the price of protein, you get more bang for your buck. But the real crux of her argument is the eating of vast amounts of calories(fat) and not gaining because of it being fat.1 -

Oh yeah, no that part is bullcrap. Hell, I'm currently running a keto bulk, and gaining pretty consistently at between 2400-3000 kcals per day, lifting six days per week, and hitting 10k steps outside of that, on a nigh daily basis. I'm staying sub-20 on carbs, and running a 65/30 split on f/p.
Granted, I was in hardcore skinnyfat territory (5'10", 150.3 lbs. start, now 157.4 lbs.) after this past year's sedentary hellcut at 1450 kcal/day.0 -

But, but you CAN'T gain weight on keto!3 -
It may be that athletes also need to balance the increase in protein consumption with what macronutrient is reduced. The prudent advice for athletes would be to focus on reducing intakes of lipids to allow carbohydrate intakes to achieve performance.

there is only one way to lose weight...consume less calories than you burn...
how you apply that can be different but don't think for one minute that HFLC or low carb in general guarantees weight loss. Over maintenance calories you will gain...
and let's be clear...athletes and larger people don't gain on 5k calories a day...regular people not so much.2 -

You eat the same amount of calories to lose whether you do HFLC or not.3 -

READ WHAT? The poster quoted in this series of comments claims that at 5'2 they can eat b/w 1800-2000 cals on a LCHF diet and lose weight, but that if they eat same amount of calories and don't restrict carbs they would gain. Yet that poster also says that when she reaches her goal weight, she plans to increase carbs, so the question is that if carbs magically make her gain weight at a certain calorie level, then what is her plan for maintaining that goal weight?
The point many of us are trying to make is that regardless of what carb level a person aims for, it is a calorie deficit that results in weight loss.4 -

depends on the kind of performance. for endurance, keto seems to work better. (and I mean ultra endurance)0
