Only a plant-based, whole food diet, can prevent and reverse most chronic disease. Diets like keto, Paleo, and low-carb are damaging for the human body and long-term health. They are popular because people like to hear good things about their bad habits.

LOL - that website again.

Well, there are more than enough stories just on my ping list to fully debunk them. But keep trying!

Stay clear of nutty vegans and their deranged diet recommendations.

I replied to what you posted as basically the same message and maybe this works for you but via personal experience (and that if my wife and other family) it doesn’t work for us

I’ll add that wife was strict paleo as well pre pregnancies and throughout and offspring have been since beginning with strict breast milk to intro of beef/lamb marrow and fat, salmon roe, and some puréed squash and yams with a switch to solid meats by 9 months. Not only are they healthy as hell, never sick more than a day or two, and tower over peers both in height and strength but have developed jaws as well and are almost certain to be able to keep their wisdom teeth permanently

Go ahead and eat what the government wants you too.. more of the good stuff for us

Someday when you feel like reading something interesting look up “epigenetics”

LOL Nope - Keto is amazing and any study without any “interest” behind it shows that is great for you. The only way you can screw up keto is to not eat enough veggies (just stay away from starches). I usually end up eating way more vegetables on the Keto diet than I do when I’m not on keto. Just add butter or olive oil!

That's basically what a "low-carb" diet is for me. I stick to whole foods and keep net carbs to around 50g or less per day.

My meats are mostly grass-fed, pasture-raised. Not what you find on a supermarket shelf. I purchase a share of meats that come from local farms (about 30 pounds a month for my wife and I) and it's all grass-fed, pasture-raised, air-chilled, etc. Fish is typically ocean caught.

Typical day will go like this:'

Breakfast: Siggi's whole milk yogurt with berries swirled in. Two extra-large eggs fried in Kerrygold butter.

Lunch: Can of King Oscar sardines packed in olive oil with a couple ounces of raw nuts - i.e. almonds, cashews, pepitas.

Dinner: 8 oz of meat, poultry or fish. Broccoli or brussels sprouts. Kale salad with olive oil, sunflower seeds and half an avocado mixed in.

Snack might be more raw nuts or an ounce of dark chocolate (90% or higher cacao).

So very healthy diet for me.

Utter drivel. You embarrass yourself. There are far too many people LIVING the opposite. All theory must be tested against what happens in the real world, and frankly, YOUR theory has been disproved millions of times now.

The most reliable, near-term effect of me to and low carb diets is a dramatic drop in triglycerides in the blood—which is the actual fat in your blood. What you just posted is obvious bunk.

Deer have an all plant diet and are subject to chronic wasting disease. 😅
