>Why aren't all of you plebs doing this thing that I just started doing 2 weeks ago?

Because some of us aren't morbidly obese to begin with.

nice blog, subscribed

Enjoy pulling two inch kidney stones out of your dick hole with a pipe cleaner.

That's why people on keto need to drink a gallon a day to flush the shit out before it builds up

>>8450805
fat is a way better source of energy than carbs. the beauty of it though is there is replacement for every food. keto pizza, keto ice cream, keto burger. oh yeah, and you drop mad pounds. there is really no reason not to

>>8450856

You're on day 9 you fat bastard. At least stick with it a while before proclaiming its virtues

>>8450791
Do you feel any better? How can you be so adamantly for it when you haven't had time to lose weight?

>>8450791
Have you tried this bread recipe/can vouch for it? Been on keto for 2 months and this looks good but I'm wary of the psyllium husk, when I was taking it in pill form it broke once in my mouth and it was disgusting.

>>8451488
Get some Carbquick (or carbalose).
OP is a newb. Don't expect her to know anything about keto.

>>8450791
You know a better way of doing that shit is just cardio right?


CARBS AREN'T BAD YOU JUST NEED TO GET OFF YOUR FAT ASS

>>8451524
Oh fuck that looks good. Thank you anon

any keto-fag who makes fake carb shit is doing it wrong. You don't get cravings on keto. You can eat pizza and bread and shit just don't have it be a regular thing in your diet. No need to make fucking coliflower pizza garbage.

>the body does not need carbs
Fucking what m8

>>8451606
it needs a small amount, which you can get from vegetables, fruit and meat.

>cutting out carbs completely
>not just reducing them
>taking anything to extremes in life
why do people do this

>>8451614
There is no physiological need for exogenous carbohydrates

The body does require glucose, but it can manufacture that from both amino acids and glycerol

Consuming vegetables is a good idea on a keto diet not only for nutrition reasons, but also because it supports glut flora health

>>8451606
The body does not need additional carbs aside from what is found in fruit, veg and trace amounts in some meat.
Literally almost everything has carbs.
If you cut out carbs your body starts using less efficient methods of sourcing energy which, ultimately are better for you in the long run

>>8451535
Ever hit the 'wall' when running? That's where your body switches from burning carbs to burning its own stored fat and metabolised fats.

They seek out con pitchmen for seemingly easy paradigms to acheive some ephemeral goal while belonging to a "tribe" of erstwhile acolytes.

The exact reason religions gain new followers and with the exact same result: no benefit.

Or maybe some people find it easier to control their appetite with ultra-low carbs as opposed to moderation.

>Anecdotal evidence links the initial phase of fasting or a low-carbohydrate diet with feelings of well-being and mild euphoria. These feelings have often been attributed to ketosis, the production of ketone bodies which can replace glucose as an energy source for the brain. One of these ketone bodies, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), is an isomer of the notorious drug of abuse, GHB (γ-hydroxybutyrate).

You feel great because you're stoned. It'll pass.

>diet that works and gets you high

I'm gonna be SO thin.

>>8450856
Fat contains about 3 times the potential energy than carbs. However, IIRC, in the state of ketosis, the body does not break down fat completely and releases a lot of fat byproducts.

but my taste buds do...

Your tastebuds are faggots that block the path to true flavour, aroma.

stop eating this highly processed, insulin-spiking shit and just eat real food like nuts, avocados, and meat.

I'm not a fat person and lift and do combat sports, so cutting out glucose and other carbohydrates would negatively affect my performance for little gain. Why would I?

Also, gluconeogenesis is a slower process than just using glucose. Can't do bursts of energy well at all on keto.

Moderately low carbs diets can be annoying because you either have to eat a very large amount of vegetables or an unsatisfyingly small amount of starch and/or fruit

>>8452157
This is true

Keto sucks for highly glycolytic sports, especially combat sports

>>8452186
Does being in keto make your thoughts or cognition slower?

>>8452198
During the adaptation phase yes. Caffeine helped a lot.

After adapting, maybe a little bit. I think I function adequately, but not optimally in ketosis. Also, restarting keto is easier after you have gone through the adaptation phase the first time.

Logistically, it is still a good compromise for cutting. I don't think I would do it as a full time maintenance/lifestyle diet though.

>tfw I'd like to go lowcarb but my favourite food is rice

fuck me

a big plate of vegetables can easily have 20 carbs if you actually measure it

im on low carb but with unlimited veggies

and i think that is the best way for the body

and small amounts of fruit

gluten and starches and grains are not necessary in the diet

>>8450791
People have been living on carbs for thousand of years and countries with the skinniest people (east asian countries) all have heavy carb cuisines.

Carbs does not make you fat. Shitty food make you fat.

Carbs are the reason we have modern civilization. We'd still be throwing spears and clicking at each other if it wasn't for them

I used to bake a bread using several low carb flours. I based my recipe on the ones on http://keto-rezepte.de/2016/06/07/unser-dunkles-lowcarb-sesambrot/
But I used hemp flour and lupin flour in place of more expensive flours like coconut flour or sesame flour. Turned out great but I disliked shitting out a whole bread of undigested fibers.

>>8450856
>oh yeah, and you drop mad pounds

If anything I'm underweight. I'll continue eating like an unhealthy hedonistic slob.

DYEL brah?

keto is good for people who have ADHD supposedly

>>8452692

we wouldn't have evolved our large complex brains our ancestors didn't have a protein rich diet. Carbs enabled societies to form around farming but we wouldn't have the mental capacity to farm if it weren't for meat protein

>>8451952
fast weight loss, but not fast fat loss. not to mention people who jump on meme diets will never ever stick to it anyway.

Billions of people around the world eat tons of carbs, because carbs are abundant in nature, and aren't fat like you. Excess calories are what made you fat, not excess proportions of macronutrients.
