[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 86438, member: 16042"] I don't want to drag the topic into another tangent, but this is the original question... Good or Bad? I just watched the video in the OP. i tend to agree with him on several counts. I view the whole thing as Jury is still out, and a lot of this comes down to belief systems, plus the possibility that different diets suit different people. There is conflicting and compelling research on many sides, but what really matters is does it work FOR YOU? Only one way to find out! I believe that Keto diet can be a great tool. For some who really stick with it, it seems to work, for others, they have problems with it, and for many for whatever reasons can't stick with it. My sister in law is a classic case of someone who did Atkins to lose weight. It kind of wrked, she did lose some weight, but she suffered other ill health and stopped the diet. Subsequently she became more overweight than when she started. OK, so one case, doesn't mean much, but this seems very common. I am really curious how it will work out for Vince and Matt for the long haul... for life. I also believe based on human digestive tract type etc that the human organism is biologically suited to omnivorous diet. And in spending time with indigenous peoples, I've learned about their traditional diets and depending where they are in the world such diet composition can be entirely different between different peoples. Personally I am of WASP European descent, and I do not expect an Inuit diet of seal, polar bear and whale blubber would suit me. Nor would a fruitarian diet from a tropical environment. With my aboriginal friends despite their changeover to damper (White bread) tea and fried chicken when I asked about their traditional hunter gatherer diet they were happy to go out bush and show me and i had a great opportunity to eat that way with them... seafood of all kinds, reptiles, grubs, mangrove worms, tubers, wild honey, fruits and greens from the bush etc... very omnivorous including all macros; fat, carb protein, and traditionally sometimes availabilty of foods meant different macros available seasonally. Anyway, some balance of all macro groups works best for me. I don't have bad lipids, am not overweight, have stable gut and pretty constant energy levels. This was accomplished though experimentation and finding that reducing carbs is helpful, but to me Keto diet looks awful on both enjoyment of eating and what I BELIEVE to be healthy FOR ME. WHOA! Congrats I've never been heavier than 150lb [/QUOTE]
