Been keto for nearly 2 years now. Been sick ONCE during the duration of that time, and it was minor and lasted roughly 1 week. Prior to that, was 50 lbs heavier, not Yas Forums, sick A LOT, and in general an inactive self-loathing IPA drinking faggot. Now I'm just a regular faggot.
shh, not suppose to be helping people. Let them get corona and die.

Been Keto for about 3 years. I coach Keto on the side. Been sick 0 times. Have some days of low energy but that's it. I "re-feed" on those days, and intake carbs and sugar to reset.
I started doing 18:6 fasting almost a year ago and I feel pretty damn good. I lost my beer gut and I still eat like a pig from 4-10. If I get hungry outside my zone I just drink some water. Feel healthy as fuck too.
So it wasn't the IPA's that made you a fag. Good to know
Kayden James
Keto causes strokes by clogging your arteries
John Sanchez
Not suprised. The natural cure for almost everything is (I am still trying to update this as I learn more):
>Keto >Intermittent Fasting >Meditation (it has physical benefits) >Practise good sleep hygiene (Matthew Walker) >Eat organic keto if you can afford it >Supplement: Omega 3, Vitamin D, B12, C, Zink and Magnesium Biglycinate >Avoid plastic at all costs, BPA free. >Exercise
Please add to this list if you like.
The downside? Doing all this is hard as fuck and you have to be disciplined.
Luke Garcia
I have been on keto since 2008, when it was called low-carb. I'm an old fag, no prescription Rx's, normal organ function, normal lipid panel, everything is normal. Doc says I'm his only patient over 50 not on Rx drugs.
I have a theory that Italy was hit so hard because of their diet high in pasta, most of them probably have metabolic disease, which is obesity, high blood pressure and high blood glucose.
Carbs and sugar are poison.

>Overall my health is a 180 compared to before >not a 360 You had one chance
Also NOfap/semen retention might help. I feel extremely energized and vital while on long streaks of semen retention (also abstaining from sex). Also this is very hard to do, but worth it.
Lucas Peterson
Keto = high on fat and protein High fat —> rises cholesterol which cloggs arteria Excessive protein intake —> cloggs brain tissue which leads to parkinson Look it up
David Campbell
Supplements is the least important on that list yeah, but studies show that they might help
Eli Murphy
>He still thinks cholesterol is bad. Who's gonna inform Hans.
Cameron Thompson
Everyone on keto is going to get a rude awakening when they are 40 and start getting lipid panel profile blood work.
Then all these keto fags will flip and tell us how we are all supposed to be vegan.
Either that or they will invent their own reality and find a few studies saying astronomical cholesterol doesn't cause heart attacks.
COLD SHOWERS. Cold therapy. Important one I forgot.
Anthony Sanchez
I'm fat and i was sick once in 5 last years and it lasted 4 days with only runny nose. Your personal case proves nothing
Landon Mitchell
Fasting is indeed very healthy because it induces katabolism (a state where your body „consumes“ itself, primarily are defect proteins —> autophagy) and also elevates longevity genes such as ampl, sirt 1 etc. There are pharmaceuticals that lead to the same effect without the need to fast (metformin, resveratrol, fluvastatin, valsartan and rapamycin)
Angel Sanchez
Can't get enough meat to be keto right now. Sure wish I'd gotten a deer last season...
Josiah Davis
Actually, your liver makes cholesterol, and every cell in your body needs it to function properly. The fat that IS bad for you is vegetable based. We need saturated fat.
I have seen a theory that Alzheimer's is actually Diabetes Type 3. The brain needs cholesterol!
Joseph Barnes
>inactive self-loathing IPA drinking faggot. Now I'm just a regular faggot.
What kind of booze are you drinking these days? Sticking to low-carb, non-IPA beers? Or did you finally man up and learn how to drink liquor without it being watered down in cocktail mixers?
John Reed
>High fat —> rises cholesterol which cloggs arteria you lack an understanding of cholesterol, there's more than one form, they don't behave the same, and it has since been shown cholesterol fluctuates throughout the day, thus making prior understanding and advice on cholesterol out the window. >Excessive protein intake keto isn't about excessive protein, follow any keto guide you'd know that's what not to do because excess protein converts to stored fat, going against a primary objective of keto, losing fat.
Andrew Fisher
I‘m not saying that it is bad, after all, you beed it for testo production, but the amounts that you consume while on keto are really very bad Keto is even more retarded than veganism
Gavin Morgan
A very dry red wine is ketogenic, like Cabernet.
Benjamin Nguyen
i ate totinos pizza pops and a bag of mini reeses peanut butter cups and i feel fine keto btfo!
Christian James
Men need saturated fat because it’s what testosterone is being made of, women on the other hand profit of polyunsaturated fatty acids But you only need small amounts of it daily; if you overload your body with that shit on keto than i can guarantee you that you‘ll die around 10 years earlier than the average life expectancy is And you’ll feel sickly too
The most healthy diet is: vegetables and meat or fish, with most of your energy coming from vegetables A bit of nuts (saturated fat) are fine too, legumes not so much (they’re full of antinutrients) Fruits have too much sugar And processed stuff as well as wheat products is the greatest shit of all
Nicholas Reyes
So what kind of carbs are okay? Your post is basically keto
Noah Ward
>you lack an understanding of cholesterol, there's more than one form, they don't behave the same, and it has since been shown cholesterol fluctuates throughout the day, thus making prior understanding and advice on cholesterol out the window. Blahblahblah... just go see a doc and let him check your blood cholesterol And also have fun breaking your bones and osteoporosis because your body uses up all the minerals to buffer your acid overload that you call diet >keto isn't about excessive protein, follow any keto guide you'd know that's what not to do because excess protein converts to stored fat, going against a primary objective of keto, losing fat. If you want lose fat then eat less Just think what you‘re doing: you want to lose fat that’s why you eat a lot of fat (and probably mistaking losing some water/glucagon for actually losing fat)
Thomas Reyes
Carbs in general are ok, they’re preferred source for energy The thing ist that in wheat products or other high-sugar stuff you don’t have much of other nutrients That’s why vegetable are the best source for carbs because they still got many other things such as minerals, vitamins, enzymes, fibre, polyphenols etc.
Michael Hernandez
The thing is there is a study on fasting in relation to viruses. Of course they used mice so it's hard to be certain. Anyhow they found that the mice did not do as well when fasting for prolonged periods while under viral stress. However they did do well while fasting under a similar bacterial stress. You can find this study by googling "fasting mice, viruses". I think 24 hour intermittent fasting is probably ideal and anything over that might have a negative outcome with relation to viral sickness. But this is just bro science theory and my own anecdotes.
some people do experience hair loss. However, there are ways to prevent that. I had it happen to me last year and i can tell you that the hair loss freaked me out, i wound up taking a vitamin supplement and it took a month to get my hair loss reversed.
David Russell
Agree 100%. 80% of my diet is fresh veggies. I eat some meat, not a lot. I eat cashews once in a while, eggs. Drink filtered water, some black tea. I'm 5'7", 145 lbs. Take fish oil, d3/k2, magnesium a couple times/week.
Aaron Mitchell
Do you have any idea the quantity of veggies you have to eat to not be low carb
Jayden Wilson
Maybe Wim Hoff breathing techniques to go with the cold showers.
Zachary Peterson
> just go see a doc and let him check your blood cholesterol It's not registering for you, doing a single check does nothing, cholesterol levels fluctuate throughout the day. >acid overload This on your notion that keto = over consumption of meat? If so I already addressed this, incorrect. >If you want lose fat then eat less When you fast your body goes into ketosis, using fat as energy, keto diet is essentially going into the fasting state, ketosis, without fasting, to pull that off requires not eating things that will kick your body out of ketosis, aka as little carbs as possible.
Jeremiah Moore
Low-carb veggies, not all veggies are good, such as peas, which are nothing but carbs and fiber.
Matthew Gutierrez
Been on Keto 8 weeks. Went from 295 down to 260. Feel great and have good energy. Not hangry. My breathing at night has improved drastically. Anons, you need to do it. Only problem is that most emergency dry foods are carbs. I bought a space freezer and have been able to stock up on meat, cheese, and butter before the craziness because I wanted to stay in Ketosis during any potential quarantine. If you are able, it’s the absolute best thing in terms of losing weight. Just make sure you also get table salt for sodium, no salt for potassium, and a magnesium powder. You need these electrolytes, especially during the first 2 weeks with lots of water because mineral and water retention changes as your body adapts to ketosis. You could get dehydrated easily and have electrolyte imbalances causing flu like symptoms or worse. So make sure you get your electrolytes and you will transition fine. Read up on it.
Joshua Collins
Just don't eat for 24 to 48 hours, you will go into ketosis.
Daniel Robinson
I eat 2-3kg vegetables a day, mostly fresh, some are freezes, never canned Pic related perfect meal
You can also just eat cheese and do a fat fast. But yes, actual fast is the quickest way.
Josiah Williams
You'll go into ketosis but if you eat too much fat your body will just use that for energy instead of burning your stored fat.
Elijah Young
>It's not registering for you, doing a single check does nothing, cholesterol levels fluctuate throughout the day. So what? Look, if you really longing to have a stroke in your thirties/forties than go on >This on your notion that keto = over consumption of meat? If so I already addressed this, incorrect. Fat, protein —> acidic Vegetables —> basic >When you fast your body goes into ketosis, using fat as energy, keto diet is essentially going into the fasting state, ketosis, without fasting, to pull that off requires not eating things that will kick your body out of ketosis, aka as little carbs as possible. No, keto diet is not going into fasting state without fasting Keto just means that instead of glucose ketones are being used as fuel There is no expression of fasting genes like mTOR, AMPK, sirtuins etc. I know what shit keto is from personal experience just because i didn’t take time back then to read actual scientific articles and studies about nutrition but just followed the hype back then
Isaiah White
Yeah but you need carbs as a source of energy You can’t only eat low-carb veggies because this way you won’t be able to meet your daily energy demand (2000-3000 kcal, depending on the level of your physical activity)
Unless you eat keto as well, the fasting times of IF are not long enough to get you into ketosis. IF on it's own is still a good idea though, but it doesn't necessarily put you in keto. Source, I am a dietitian.
Dylan Brown
Fat, protein —> acidic keto doesn't mean you go hog wild on fat and protein intake, you more protein than you need it will be stored as fat, you eat too much fat it will also be stored and your body will burn that instead of your stored fat. Dialed in, people doing keto to lose weight will be consuming less protein and fat than the traditional glutenous diet in addition to carbs. >Keto just means that instead of glucose ketones are being used as fuel You're pulling my leg, that is what happens when you fast. >I know what shit keto is from personal experience On par with your understanding of cholesterol.
Jayden Bailey
Keto is a good way to lose weight, but it fucks your health While there is no need for that because you can’t overeat on a plant based diet with unprocessed fresh vegetables and fish/meat You also don’t have craving for sugar on it, because if you do then you probably have hormonal imbalances (ie too low serotonine levels)
William Edwards
makes sense, keto diets are used a lot in older athletes to reduce inflammation
Ryder Edwards
so how long does it take to get ketosis from just fasting?
also, what is the usual amount of sugar/day to be keto?
Ian Rodriguez
I still occasionally drink an ipa. But yeah keto is good and more ppl should do it. Eat fewer processed to shit items. Grow your own food.
Logan Gutierrez
keto fags are just as bad as vegans, if not worse.
Alexander Sanchez
nope got tests to prove it
Julian Collins
>keto doesn't mean you go hog wild on fat and protein intake, you more protein than you need it will be stored as fat, you eat too much fat it will also be stored and your body will burn that instead of your stored fat. Dialed in, people doing keto to lose weight will be consuming less protein and fat than the traditional glutenous diet in addition to carbs. It’s about how your body metabolises nutrients; breaking down fat or proteins is an acidic reaction, hence your body uses minerals as buffers (if you don’t consume enough vegetables your body takes the minerals out of your bones) But due to your acid overload on keto your body is sometimes not fast enough in neutralising acids which leads to acidosis (your blood ph sinks, and your organs get damaged)
Samuel Martinez
Keto is fasting for fat fucks.
Cameron Edwards
Does anyone know ITT if keto can help with fat infiltration in your liver? Doesn't that raise cortisol levels though? I do them too, but not a full proper one.
Alexander Phillips
>so how long does it take to get ketosis from just fasting? After all the stored glucagon („sugar water“) is used up Since your body can store around 2500 kcal glucagon, after 24 hrs you should get into ketosis
