I know playing buzzword bingo with a comeback makes you feel smart, but when you are eating rocks and twigs in some vain effort to “be healthy”, yet are not, well, that isn’t smart. These fad diets come and go as feeble minded people adopt them, thinking they’ve outsmarted death yet again.

Try eating a healthy and balanced diet without being a glutton and you’ll find your health is restored just fine.

Making excuses like, “Gosh, I only ate half a pie but usually eat the whole thing so I must be getting healthy”, doesn’t cut it. Eating too much is eating too much, no matter how much you used to eat. Fat is fat, no justifications can change that.

Cutting out essential foods doesn’t cut it. Starving your body of essential foods is ignorance and death waiting to happen sooner.

You never hear of a Navy SEAL in at BUD/S claiming, “Gosh, instructor, I can’t eat this garbage the Navy is serving, I must treat my body like a temple and only eat rocks and twigs.” Hell, they eat anything they can shove in.

I agree, but I don't think sugar is essential.

Well, most of them are young. The young can live on pizza and ice cream. I know. I did. When I was young. LOL...

“I know playing buzzword bingo with a comeback makes you feel smart, but when you are eating rocks and twigs in some vain effort to “be healthy”, yet are not, well, that isn’t smart.”

I’m certainly not the “eating rocks and twigs” you persist upon inventing to use as a strawman argument. Actually, I’m eating more food than usual and not getting hungry afterwards anymore. That’s what happens when you at foods rich in natural fats. They kill the hunger for most of the day. So, you’re just making up a fantasy whenever you try saying that.

“These fad diets come and go as feeble minded people adopt them, thinking they’ve outsmarted death yet again.”

If you weren’t behaving like a closed minded bigot and actually learned something from the videos, you would know that nutritional ketosis is no and never has been a fad or a fad diet. You were born with a ketogenic diet when you were a baby. ketogenic diets were in use for centuries while people didn’t recognize it as such. The diet has been a standard medical practice for more than a century for diabetes, epilepsy, and/or other medical disorders. So, you cen give up your efforts to vilify the diet as nothing more than another inconsequential fad diet.

“Try eating a healthy and balanced diet without being a glutton and you’ll find your health is restored just fine.”

That false and inane comment qualifies you as a first class moron and bigoted idiot.

“Making excuses like, “Gosh, I only ate half a pie but usually eat the whole thing so I must be getting healthy”, doesn’t cut it. Eating too much is eating too much, no matter how much you used to eat. Fat is fat, no justifications can change that.”

Eating 600 to 900 calories per day for nine months and less than 1,400 calories per day for more than ten years hardly qualifies as gluttony you fool.

“Cutting out essential foods doesn’t cut it. Starving your body of essential foods is ignorance and death waiting to happen sooner.”

That is correct, which is why a male needs on the order of 1,500 calories per day with a balanced diet of the macronutrients. Unfortunately for your dimwitted misinformation, Type II diabetics gain weight eating 600 to 1,500 calories per day despite a size and weight which is theoretically supposed to lose at least 1 lb. per week on a 2,000 calorie or even a 2,300 calorie per day diet. The elevated insulin results in hormones that shut down and block the ability to burn fat as fuel for the body. So long as the body uses glucose as the primary fuel for the metabolism, their ability to burn fat is turned off until eliminating all but a small fraction of the carbohydrates are removed and the body switches to buring ketones from dietary and body fat.

“You never hear of a Navy SEAL in at BUD/S claiming, “Gosh, instructor, I can’t eat this garbage the Navy is serving, I must treat my body like a temple and only eat rocks and twigs.” Hell, they eat anything they can shove in.”

The NAVY Seals at the forefront of research on using rebreather apparatus are using ketogenic diets and experimental exogenous ketones to avoid severe health problems associated with the use of such devices. This research and operational use by the Navy was discussed in one of the videos you failed to watch and/or comprehend.
