What has taken over MFP more Keto Threads or ACV Threads

I personally think it's Keto. I'm wondering how long this trend will last. I know Keto has always been a way of eating for some people, and works well for them, but it seems to be the new gluten free, paleo, or crossfit, where people jump in head first and that's all they talk about.

    I give threads with "Keto" in their subject as miss, and I don't know what ACV even stands for.
    Guess I'm missing the invasion.

    It's just the way kids these days talk about apple cider vinegar. I get at least 1 spam email a day with ACV in the title.

    ACV - apple cider vinegar

    I'd say they're equal. Low carb is pretty up there along with eat more to lose more (the "bad" version, not "eat as much as you can while still eating at a deficit" version).

    Keto.

    We actually saw this coming in the LCD community when Oz started talking about it last year.

    LOL Yep, we're just so "with it" now. :D

    ACV, like all other fads resurfaces under a slight rebranding every now and then. We are seeing a huge rise in adverse medical events thanks to this.

    People have no idea the potential damage this does to the gastrointestinal system.

    There are keto threads that don't do that?

    :joy: Surprisingly, yes, I've seen a few... usually of the variety of "need keto food ideas" or "need keto help" or "anyone doing keto". Sometimes those do devolve into the typical MFP *kitten* but not always.

    Did you miss the Oreo thread :D

    I think it's all extremes, so keto is the extreme of moderate carb. ACV is the extreme of stupidity.

    This actually kinda frightens me. Because to me it means that there's a possibility of even more stupid... and it's already a good contender for first place.

    Acv and Keto threads have been around as long as I have been a member about 3 years. Keto is not going anywhere acv is picking up popularity probably bc of all the ads lately Jenny McCarthy lost x amount and all she did was drink this every day kinda things.

    Keto - a low carb, high fat diet where your carbs have to be low enough to put you in ketosis so your body will use fat instead of carbs for energy.

    Care to elaborate?

    I took it as sarcasm but maybe I'm too naive

    Maybe. But 28 posts. Not so sure. Hopefully they come back and tell us!

    Can we bring back the Easy Mac thread?

    Seconded! I'd much rather eat EasyMac than swig ACV.

    Garcina cambogia seems to have dropped in popularity.
