#3: A new study, which analyzed 15 years of dietary behavior among more than 35,000 adults aged 20 and older, found that “frequent consumption” of restaurant-made meals is strongly linked to early death.

@sunrise628 Imo the people who actually get benefits of keto is people who might have some special medical condition that might be hindered by carbs and athletes that need to measure for weight ins and are basically the next weight class so a few extra lbs of water retention can be massive.

Otherwise 0 benefits unless a person trully enjoys it

@fhf1 Eating a keto diet is the first time in my life I felt relief from constant hunger. Managing my insulin response changed my life.

@sunrise628 There's no question from a basic physiological standpoint (the only correct standpoint) that "carbs" are more readily available than protein or fat, but I would only makes this caution:

not all carbs are the same, and I really think you do your otherwise excellent description a disservice by not making that clear

@sunrise628 Low carb is objectively cringe

@sunrise628 I think ketogenic diets were mostly used for endurance athletes, definitely wouldn’t make sense for explosive power.
