[The Truth Will Make You Free]

I’ve been on a low carb diet for quiet a while. I recently learned that can reduce muscle mass and in an attempt to find glucose the body can even use brain matter. Yikes!

According, I’m reducing my fats from about 65% of calories towards 27%. This means increasing carbs and sugars from 100g per day to 300g.

Here’s a Metcola article on watermelon https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2024/08/31/benefits-of-eating-watermelon-regularly.aspx

No. Just NO!

Been Keto for 7 years and trending closer to Carnivore. I have MORE MUSCLE now and your body doesn’t eat your brain in search of glucose! Don’t know who blew that smoke up your butt! It is not remotely true. You sure as heck do NOT need 300 grams of carbs (which mostly ALL convert to sugar in the body) to keep going.

FWIW, I’m in my upper 60s and run about 15-18 miles a week, and do pull-ups and push-ups and some weight lifting.

Yes, I have noticed a disturbing deterioration in the quality of your posts here recently.
