WTF I hate science now

Scientists have to push out this kind of shit to magazines so they can stay funded. If it sounds like clickbait, it probably is. Best to ignore it.

Traditionally high-carb societies like Asians have always been thin, and those Kenyan runners who dominate the Olympics eat mostly carbs too

Then when they adopt Western high-protein diets, they start to have obesity issues

But then again, they also get taller when they adopt the high-protein diet

I thought the Japanese were thin because they have to walk everywhere. Same with Kenyans although in their case, it's because they are poor.

>You need carbs for good mental health
No you don't. With a low carb high fat diet your brain starts to run off of ketones which are just as good if not better as running off of glucose.
>Ketosis can be dangerous to kidney health
You're thinking of ketoacidosis which is not the same thing.
Cutting carbs means lowering standing insulin. Insulin 1) blocks leptin, leptin is the cause of the "I'm full" feeling and 2) makes it so you cannot access fat until the sugar in your blood is dealt with and if you have a constant stream of sugar it makes it harder to burn fat

High protein diets also cause issues because excess protein your body doesn't need is turned into glucose, which raises insulin, which causes fuckloads of problem including insulin resistance in the most severe of cases.
There are plenty of large studies focusing around "keto" or "lchf" diets/lifestyles showing they lower body fat percentage faster and better long term as low as lowering the effects of insulin resistance, sugar-caused fatty liver disease, overeating, binge eating, heart inflammation, etc

You can look into these studies yourself and check to see the sample size is high, the study is long term, the participation rate is high, and methods.

News places give 0 shits about whether something is accurate or not they just want clicks.
"Chocolate lowers risk of heart disease" is far more interesting than "study saying chocolate lowers heart disease is inherently flawed and biased and needs more research".

Not mention with studies like these involving low carb dietary patterns you have to think about HOW they are doing it. What is low? 100g per day? 50g per day? 20g per day?
"Keto" is less than 20g of net carbs per day, if it is higher than that you are probably not in ketosis, and thus cannot switch primarily to being a fat burner instead of a sugar burner.

How to lose weight: eat a balanced diet and get off your fucking lazy ass and exercise. That's about it.

>taking three

You are going to build up a tolerance and then they are useless

>no self control to ignore your body's hunger signals

Much harder to do with people with a sugar addiction. They never feel full because the feel full hormone is getting blocked by insulin, plus they can't access their body fat reserves so they feel like they're starving.
This is primarily who low carb diets are for along with diabetics, epileptics, and cancer patients, just like for alcoholics you avoid alcohol.
Plus there are many misconceptions about what a "balanced diet" actually is, such as the debate on dietary cholesterol, how to lower cholesterol, carb amounts, red meat, and fat.

If you're having issues with binging and never feeling full, you probably have a sugar addiction and need to cut out carbs.

Read the studies yourself if you want actual information, it takes like five minutes and a bit of experience to figure out issues with various studies.

YOu want to lose weight, then eat fewere calories

it's because they don't eat too much

makes no sense. I lost weight eating carbs so I must have been buring fat at some point

Want to lose weight? cut Sugar, eat less, drink more water.

t. former 300 pound fatty to 130 skeleton.

There are genetic strains who have a higher tolerance to carbs. Northern Europeans, and Native Americans for example have lower tolerance and Meditteraneans have higher tolerance.
Or you could just have not been eating enough for it to matter (Standard American diet is 300g of carbs a day), even in a 100g carb range a day it's much safer.

Did you increase fat, or protein to make up the difference?

I'll add on here, that eat for example 10% or 15% of dietary calories from carbs won't cause what I'm mentioned. I'm talking about 300g of carbs/high carb (majority carb) diets aka americans.
Because of this high dose of carbs constantly throughout the day it's spiking insulin constantly and that paired with calorie restriction makes it harder to access fat reserves, because the body "prefers" (prioritizes) burning/storing sugar first above all else (except alcohol).

weights without heights are meaningless

eating* I've*
I'm also not implying all Americans eat this way, but it is what the American Heart Association, etc, recommend so it is more likely.

what if you eat >300g carbs but are very active?

The only way that would possibly work is if you were imediately burning off the sugar which would take huge amounts of exercise beyond what I can even imagine (it takes the naturally stored water weight [stored sugar] a day to completely go through it, for example).
You're still spiking insulin, you're still suppressing leptin, sugar is a huge inflammatory food which increases risk of heart disease, and increases risk of shit tons of other things including insulin resistance.
Of course, it also depends. You could be eating 300g of carbs, but it could make up

5'11

cut most protein, cut fat ate only vegetables and chicken for months

An hour of running is literally cancelled out by a bowl of ice cream. Exercise builds muscle tone that raises your resting metabolism, but it doesn't actively burn many calories. It is far less efficient than simply eating less.

wtf are you 130 pounds?

I know, but it doesn't matter if cal come from carbs or not.

ITS ABOUT CALORIES YOU FUCKING MORONS

MOTHER

FUCKING

CALORIES

FUCK
