@matana @beardalaxy @histoire Keto is how I got fit and I lived on no carbs for over a year. It actually became pretty common in Iceland so a lot of people I know did it too
This has also been done with whole cultures and people in scientific settings

The science behind ketones and their replacement for glucose is also known and real. There genuinely isn't anything you need sugar for
The relationship of blood sugar, insulin, insulin resistance is also known. Even how it makes you more actively healthy. And how more sugar makes you hungrier instead of less hungry
And uh, if you have any idea of the history of diet trends, you'd know that we started to get fat when we started a war on fat. Guess when the low-fat guidelines came out (~1980)

@kuken @applejack @histoire i actually just saw a youtube recommendation today about how there was a recent study done finding that saturated fat doesn't lead to heart disease.

science on stuff is definitely always changing and other findings are always happening, with plenty of politics involved. just watched a video about a guy who faked finding several elements as well and it was pretty telling of how much the scientific community fudges stuff back and forth.
i think the biggest takeaway is to just do what makes your body feel healthy!
@beardalaxy @kuken @histoire
Ye, the French Paradox and such
The connection between fat and heart disease started because of a single study that got a correlation between some blood chemical and fat
It was observational and pretty weak. I remember further studies isolated the chemical into two subgroups, a good one and a bad one, and then the correlation fell away
@kuken @applejack @histoire seems like this dude is pretty based https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl3T-nBXyUo
