Carbs

pmr104 · September 2019

I’ve just started my Keto program. Are there any suggestions to increase my carb intake? Seem to be able to hit the fat, but go over a bit on protein
Thanks

If you're doing keto, why would you increase carbs?

This ^^^^^

Did you research keto fully before attempting it?

Not sure why you would want to do keto, but it's all about eliminating carbs (keto is unsustainable and not goof for you.) To increase carbs eat plants

Fruit, grains, legumes, tubers like potatoes, nuts have some carbs, but more fat. Also things like rice, whole wheat pasta, vegetables like peas and carrots. And oatmeal and wheat. Carbs galore

There is nothing wrong with going over your protein. Getting into ketosis is merely about carb restriction.

And there is no evidence to suggest keto is bad for you. So don't listen to that propaganda.

Mmmm^
Let's just say there are many persons who think KETO is not bad for you.
But, its opponents include people who write scholarly articles published in respected medical journals.
But, like most fad diets, it will die out before there is any long term empirical "evidence."

The original Ketogenic Therapy, known as the classic Ketogenic Diet, or classic Keto for short, was designed in 1923 by Dr. Russell Wilder at the Mayo Clinic. There is nothing fad about it.

The Mayo Clinic recommends against it and I don't think an introduction of a treatment for epilepsy makes it other than a fad. If I saw a stream of adherents over a period of time longer than a millennial minute, I'd take back the "fad" label.

Just because the original medical diet is not a fad doesn’t mean that its current iteration is not a fad. It’s not epileptics who are touting Keto as the best and only way to quickly lose weight; it’s weight loss obsessed people, followed by the personal trainers and health/food manufacturers who know they can capitalize off the hype. Hell, my tiny neighborhood local bakery just started selling keto mousse cups.

Don't listen to the propaganda that KETO is good for you either.

without getting into why or whether you should be doing keto...

to simply answer your question eat more veg. Vegetables, especially the less sweet kind (so not peas or sweetcorn, or indeed carrot) are all good healthy carbs and should be encouraged into any diet. This includes lower carb diets (where really the starchy veg and baked stuff is the villain of the piece)

With the exception of a diet that has a lot of highly processed foods (i.e., SAD), any diet the helps a person lose weight will improve your health. There are thousands of studies to support that. And realistically, diet is a smaller component and has less of an impact as compared to weight loss and exercise.

A person can be just be as unhealthy following a vegan diet, Mediterranean Diet or Keto diet.

My keto diet (which i use while cutting) is comprised of fish (3-5x a week), low Gi berries, olive or avocado oil, Kerrygold butter, unsweetened fage (2% or 5%) Greek yogurt, eggs, Kerrygold cheese, avocado, USDA prime steak or ground beef, and chicken. If anyone wants to explain how that is unhealthy, i would love to hear. Its fairly low in SFA, almost 0 Omega 6s, no man made natural transfats and 20-35g of fiber.
