From the wiki - The majority of these symptoms, often correlated with feelings of hunger, mimic the effect of inadequate sugar intake as the biology of a crash is similar in itself to the body’s response to low blood sugar levels following periods of glucose deficiency. And it even tells you to eat more sugar to fix it,…

For some people? Definitely not a minority.

Insulin spikes are not inherently bad, it's the blood glucose levels after that cause the crash.

Yep, and protein causes a bigger initial spike, but then we look at blood glucose response.

Yes and I looked at the pretty graphs!

I'm a 6'2 male and 1800 cal is my recommendation for losing, and I struggle to reach that.

While not everyone does, plenty do. And your study shows lower BG response in LC/HP meals and shows more satiety in LC/HP.

Yep I replied to that already, again, the average diet takes in way more carbs than protein and fat.

Are you full? Getting plenty of vitamins and minerals, not feeling lethargic? Then you're fine.

That's a lovely link that supports both of our claims, thank you.

Yes protein does cause a spike but since it is digested at a slower rate, glucose levels do not crash.

Because a rollercoaster of insulin and blood glucose spikes are perfectly fine, and how does most of that happen? Carbs, unless you specifically eat low on the GI scale. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_crash

I mean, technically there is vegetarian keto, and I respect people for staying the course with that.

Yep, I agree wholeheartedly, it was a bad wording on my part and acknowledge my dumbassery because of it.

Does fat cause a big of insulin spike as carbs? Possibly making someone want to eat more? And again, fat may have more calories but carbs are usually more present, gram wise.

And sugar has calories. And carbs are usually more rampant in a person's diet, carbs get turned into sugar and if it's excess, into fat it goes. So where I might be wrong, I'm also right.

I'm going off of my own posts with links, though excess sugar does get stored in fat.

I did not say fat, I said sugar/glucose.

I usually try to link short and to the point ones but am always happy to tl;dr them to people who ask, in general.

Oops, sorry Leena! And Elphie the point is sugar can trigger useless inflammatory response, which is not good.

I only find studies because the stuff interests me, it might interest others as well. I support everyone's wanting to lose weight, however they chose to.

Haha I catch on quick, also here's some reading for ya http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19150053 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12379575 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12716761 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17130210 http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/52/5/1256.long (This repeats some of the points…

Prepare your shield.

Doing keto, about a year now. Lost at least 50 pounds. Still going strong.

I wholeheartedly agree with this too, I LOVE swimming and would elect to do this every day if I could. Doesn't even feel like exercise until the very end when you try to climb out and walk.

This and www.reddit.com/r/keto if you do want to stick to low carb. If you find neither are for you then what Rabbi said works just as well.

If it works for you and you think you can stick with it long term keep at it. We should only lose weight with what we're comfortable with doing/eating as long as it works.

It does vary person to person and you may not get it at all, it's just dropping water weight and some electrolytes go with it. Drink plenty of water, maybe even PowerAde zero too if you really feel out of it. Give it a solid month and if it's not for you no biggie, it's all calories in vs calories out for most people…

Pack your dinner with you and curse into your sandwhich? If that's not viable, bust out some jumping jacks or push ups instead?
