Starvation will limit life even faster.
So bacon is good or bad?
GOOOD!!!!!!!
Makes sense. What was the average life expectancy 10,000 years ago, when everyone ate a Paleo diet?
A meatless diet doesn’t really make you live longer. It just seems like forever when you can’t enjoy it.
Pure propaganda!
I lost 94 lbs of flab from 2015 on a low carb-high fat diet.
34 days ago I began a zero carb way of eating & lost all my depression/anxiety symptoms, lost all lower back pain I had had for 10+ years, lost all joint pain, lost skin tags, lost soured stomach & did I mention I lost the depression/anxiety symptoms?
Carbs = poison
sugar = poison
meat = health & healing
fat = energy
Just click your heels and a new study appears with the opposite findings.

The diet that has worked for me is whole foods....processed as little as possible, no added ingredients. Two 4oz (or so) meat servings a day. Whole grain bread and cereals. Next to no milk fat. No mystery sauces. Plenty of fruits and veggies. And I'm not tired. The other item on my "diet"....two brisk walks ever day and an AM upper body exercise routine.
I know there's no diet that works for everyone. But a diet that leaves out vitamins and minerals? It doesn't pass the common sense test.
Freepers, please enlighten me where I err.
Note that the article is talking about healthy carbohydrates rather than sugar and white bread and such. Just saying “carbs” is pretty misleading.
Most people following low carb diets are doing so as weight loss strategy and are coming off of eating unhealthy carbs (sugars, refined grains, processed foods...).
Tell that to a cat.
True. I do find I feel better when I lay off the carbs. Less cravings.
Yeah - I call BS.
They’re sampling an average of averages of self reported dietary information from over several generations.
They don’t factor in health, genetics or even societal factors.
I downloaded and printed the 10 page study.
They controlled (means compared equally) on sex, smoking, BMI and many other variables.
Given that, the low carbohydrate diet was still 37% carbohydrate, or 160 grams of carbs per day. Those of us who know Keto know that this is no low carb. The high carb dieters were 300 grams per day.
However, after 25 years the low carb dieters lived 4 years less than the medium carb dieters.
But wait: if the low carb dieter substituted bacon and dairy for their carbs, they lived even shorter lives. The low carb dieter who substituted avocado, olive oil and nuts lived as long as the medium carb dieters.
Roughly speaking.
All methods of eating that focus on macro nutrients (protein, carb, fat) will encourage deficit in important nutrients to the body - but focusing on micro nutrients and eating more whole/original foods the body was designed to recognize so it can properly utilize the nutrients it needs seems to make most sense. When focusing on eating for micro nutrients in foods the body was designed to eat you usually get plenty of healthful protein fat and carbs.
much of todays grocery store and resturaunt foods are like trying to put hummus in your gas tank and wondering why your car doesn’t run - plenty of oil just a wrong kind and too many extras the car can’t recognize or use.
So the govt pyramid is right?
I dont know about paleo but keto is mod protein. My plate used to be covered by a steak. But it is mostly veg and meat now. It is high fat but most of the fat is from non meat sources. Coconut oil, nuts, olives, avocados. Cut the sugar, bread, starches.
3 months i lost 10 lbs and my energy doubled
I get all the carbs I need through beer. Protein through meat.
I knew it was gonna get me some day! I am almost 72, ate lead based paint as a child, breathed asbestos cement board, worked with white lead paint and lubricant, worked in a power plant with lots of nasty stuff, still here!
Oh, I still have all my teeth. Must have been that polluted well water from the High Plains that did it with all that natural fluoride. Same for brother and sister.
Protein and fat from healthy animals, no seed oils, and (almost) no processed grain food, you should be good to go for 100 years. Our gut bugs do want us to eat starchy carbs, but they should be natural, like rice, a few grains alone, not baked into crap, and best starches from vegetable roots like tubers. 1 serving or less of fruit a day. Rare dessert. If it doesn’t cause digestive problems, even a little natural, minimally processed bread would be ok.
It’s more a cumulative thing. If you eat a healthy, clean diet all week, of course you can share someone’s birthday cake.
And another study...

High protein intake is associated with low plasma NAD+ levels in a healthy human cohort.
High protein diets may accelerate aging more than we thought
