Perhaps not but you strongly implied it by tying it to "40% of the daily recommended intake". So it is 1000 calories over a week? A month? A year? You were implying that you burn off almost half of your recommended daily intake by running that many calories off in a day. So, which is it? How much are you exercising away per day? Enquiring minds want to know.

Fiber provides zero nutrition so it does not stave off hunger, bloated is not the same as energized. 4 teaspoons of sugar is four teaspoons of sugar.

Ketone is not a waste product, read the first paragraph here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K...

High carb + higher carb is what is happening in the American diet and high carbs are the problem.

High carb + high carb + low fat is also a problem, see?

High healthy fats + high healthy fats = not easy to overeat because you feel so damned full. I did this just a couple of days ago and man did I feel full on a very low volume of food, maybe a cupful of cabbage and an ounce of broccoli with four ounces of fatty rib meat and maybe four more ounces fat and oil. So probably about 2500 calories but I could probably have gone all day on that meal, except it was dinner so I just went to sleep. No acid reflux, no bad dreams, no digestive problems...

The point here LoverSatan is that you try to minimize the load on the stomach, it does have limits you see. I agree with the AC, you've not produced any facts to back your disagreeable opinion.

So you're putting in ten miles a day? That is pretty awesome running.

I will have to investigate that aspect of the lifestyle when I start to engage in sports again. I too can eat carbs without packing on weight but have chosen to go keto anyway. The main benefit I notice from abandoning carbs is that I now get zero dandruff where I used to have a significant issue with it. I think I lost some fat too but I was already pretty lean before going keto.

I have not done keto for weight loss but I think that for some hard cases, counting calories would be needed, at least in the beginning while good habits are being established.

The thing with fat is that it really fills you up so it is easier not to overeat when eating high fat meals. Yes, excess dietary fat will be stored but it takes a lot more for that to happen unlike with carbs where the body works with urgency to get them out of the bloodstream now.

Perhaps, I do agree that he is a bit over-exuberant on the purported benefits of water but there are good points that he makes. One of which is the aforementioned benefit of taking water away from meals. Do you disagree with the notion of not diluting digestive juices by drinking water with meals?

Glycemic index is the immediate response, glycemic load is how much sugar you took in. Sorry, I confused your responses with Tablizer's who mentioned he was still plump.

Yes, beer does contain carbs and should also be eliminated. Your tone makes it sound as if eliminating that is out of the question or beyond the pale.

I am pretty close to zero carbs, it is not impossible but it does require work and discipline, like anything that is worth doing in life. Any extra calories from carbs that are not needed immediately need to be cleared as they are digested as you know. Since most of us lead sedentary lives, that means most of them will need to be cleared(stored) as they are digested. Fat on the other hand can happily float about without causing the body to panic and cause an insulin response. This is why eating fat is much healthier, the body doesn't feel a compelling need to shove it into storage to maintain a healthy/low blood sugar level. I think we agree more than we disagree as I also believe that losing weight on a low carb diet is the best way to do it. That some people are too weak to do it is another matter.

That's him, and that is one of his books, you could search amazon or B&N for purchasing or borrow from your library. He discusses how to take water, when to take it, the conditions he feels lack of it cause. I think he's mostly right and specifically differentiates water from liquids made primarily of water, they are not the same.

Fat triggers satiety like nothing else does, trust me. There are times when I have so much fat in my bowl that it takes me half an hour to finish the last three spoonfuls of mostly fat/oil with a smattering of veggies. I should probably stop eating at that point but I make up for it by going to bed later.

You misread Obfuscant's statement, he was stating they are equivalent.

No, it does not, heart and circulatory issues arise due to inflammation which is now believed to be caused by inflammation. Many people are intolerant to grains, so the culprit is likely to be grains and carbs.

Friend Jedidiah, I am disappointed at this statement. Fat is what you need, it is your lifesource, we are not made to pull energy from weeds and carbs are not that healthy for us. We also can't take a diet heavy in protein as our digestive system isn't built for that either (see rabbit starvation). Thus we are left with fat as our most valuable and viable energy source. Protein is needed as a building block and some veggies are probably good too. We definitely don't need sugar in the diet as we can create our own through gluconeogenesis.

The problem with drinking between each bite is that it lowers the strength of your digestive juices by diluting them. It is best to not drink for about a half hour before eating and about three hours after. See the books by Dr. Batmangelidj for explanation of this and other benefits of water.

I also don't find it funny, I find it sad though and wish I could offer to help without them offering to separate my head from my body.
