Reminds of of the guy who ate nothing but McDonald's for several months but lost lots of weight because he dramatically increased the amount of exercise he engaged in.
Years ago I read about the high calorie diet Michael Phelps used to consume while training. It was a daily total of ~ 12,000 calories, mostly from carbs. He was in great shape with exceptional blood work. Carbs are not the enemy. Total calories and a sedentary lifestyle are.
“So Keto is really just another diet that restricts calories, but places incredible strain on your kidneys due to the higher percentage of fat.”
Still waiting for that link...
Well for the rest of us who aren’t Olympic Swimmers, Keto makes more sense.
And I seriously doubt that Michael Phelps eats like that now, at least I hope he doesn’t.
I’ve seen plenty of athletes who were in tip-top shape in their playing days, who got fat once they retired, because they didn’t give up eating the carbs.
You also aren’t taking into account the role that insulin production has in regulating the amount of fat in the body.
Or I should say “Insulin Resistance”.
You spout your cluelessness, consistently, at least.
There are many examples of exceptional athletes consuming high carb diets becoming... Type 2 DIABETICS.
Carbs drive the release of insulin. Excess insulin in the blood stream leads to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance leads to Type 2 Diabetes.
