Are carbs the real evil?

Sugar, specifically. Not all carbs per se.

Most variations of keto only call for you to eliminate all carbs for just the first month while your body breaks its sugar addiction. After that, you can start adding back in other non-sugar carbs.

Even if you stop doing keto altogether at that point, you'll find sweets to be much less desirable than you remember.

Processed/refined carbs are bad for you, and that's why movies like this are so effective. Present it to an American audience where the only carbs anyone has ever eaten were in the form of ramen noodles, Jell-o snack packs, cheetos, and skittles, and obviously it'll look like "all carbs are bad, and so the default is that eating nothing but fat and meat is healthy"

Throw in a conspiracy theory about how there's a big, international plot among health officials to force feed everyone oatmeal and ban lard, and you remove in most of your audience's mind any need to discuss scientific evidence. If you just make a neat enough story to go with your crazy premise, people don't care whether it's true or not.

Pretty much this, the more food is removed from the source the worse it is for you.

Loads of carbs are good for you, in the same way there are good fats and bad fats (HDLs and LSLs) eat the bad fats and processed carbs you'll get shitty results which these films neglect to inform you.

wut

You need carbs like you do protein and fat but you need to keep your consumption under control and only eat for the activity level you put out.

You should also stay away from simple carbs like sugar and try to mostly consume complex ones from sources like potatoes, carrots, onions, etc. as they're considerably better for you in every way imaginable than eating some bullshit like bread or pasta.

Why?

Natural carbs are fine.

Processed bullshit is what's bad.
