Fructose intake can lead to obesity, just like in hibernating animals, CU Researchers say
This is an oversimplification and downplays just how bad carbs actually are.
It’s extremely easy to overeat/consume carbs, sugar, etc because of how your body reacts to it. On the other hand its extremely hard to overeat protein because you will be full and uncomfortable.
Do yourself a favor and stop using this nonsense argument. It makes you look like a fool and downplays just how bad sugar is for the human body.
Thank you for calling it out, I have given up trying to explain the role of carbs and how it spike our level of insulin to people.
I get those in real-life too. “They say everything is bad”, “Calories are calories”, “They will say something different next year”.
Meanwhile, the same people gasp when I cook with butter and healthy oils.
I’m glad someone else actually gets it.
For anyone else reading this, after years of doing my own version of keto (before I knew keto was a thing) I notice a difference when I let myself binge on crap food. I feel a lot better in a lot of ways when I eat mostly steaks with a bit of fat on them.
For some tmi, I’ve noticed bigger and stronger erections when I am eating low to no carbs and am heavy on fat and protein and it’s noticeable in the other direction when I have a few sugar/carb heavy days. I’m 42 and my wife and I regularly go at it 2-3x/day and I’ve had plenty of days where I was good for 6 rounds. I wouldn’t be able to do that if I was eating a carb heavy diet and there are a ton of guys younger than me that think a few times a week is pushing it.
Yeah I was on a Keto diet for a short while, it is hard to describe but it really feels obvious when you’re out of the sugar roller coaster that there is something deeply wrong with it, and that we’re all collectively so addicted to sugars that we don’t even realize that this is killing us, and that the sensible thing to do is to actually eat what we’ve been told not to.
It is hard to describe, but it’s like living to the full potential of your stored energy for the first time, like having your body go in normal mode instead of feast mode. It does not surprise me that it makes a difference in your sexual life too, it affects pretty much everything, including your brain and sex organs.
