Where did I say anything about number of calories? I’m saying exactly the opposite. It’s about the correct nutrients - or the nature of the calories, ie the hormonal (insulin) response to them.
That’s exactly what Perlmutter, Taubes and Peter Attia, William Davis and a host of others of saying.
Or, were you responding to the wrong post?
You had the right idea, but your way of stating it was perhaps flawed insofar as it was ambiguous enough to be misconstrued. That was why I tried to illustrate the problem.
“If you are eating correctly, ie high fat, moderate protein, low carb (non-starchy),....” is correct so far as it goes.
The problem is in the part saying, “you will put on or lose or maintain weight as necessary. It’s about healthy eating.†It should be carefully noted that using such a ketogenic diet does not necessarily ensure a person with metabolic syndrome is going to altogether cease being in a diabetic state. Dramatic improvements in the ability to reduce fat and weight, reduce blood sugars, and improve overall health is likely to result; yet some measure of diabetes will often continue and still impede the ability to “put on or lose or maintain weight as necessary” despite the healthier diet. So, it would be unwise to overstate the case when in reality there is going to be more to resolving the medical problem. So, please consider the response as a clarification for the purposes of accuracy.
