hurrdurr carbs bad

Serotonin is made by gut flora and that gut flora lives off of fermentable fiber and carbs. You wont get either from meat or fat.

I have no problem with people stating they don't think a low-carb/ketogenic diet is healthy. By all means, we should be posting content to help each other improve, as this is /SIG/, but it's just devolving into shit flinging now, and I'm starting to think there's shills flooding these threads at this point. There's already been a big push from the (((media))) spouting bullshit like:

It'll give you nasty keto-crotch!

It gives you acne!

You'll get atrial fibrillation and your arteries will clog!

Now we've got all these posts treating keto/low-carb diets like they're the same as a pure carnivore diet, which is absolutely not the case. Most keto diets generally restrict daily net-carb (i.e. total carbs -fiber) intake to about 20-25g/day. Tons of people that advocate for the diet strongly recommend making most if not all of your carb intake from healthy sources of fiber, including leafy greens like kale and spinach, broccoli, asparagus, nuts, and small amounts of berries. You can also include fermented vegetables like kimchi, which provide probiotics. Many of these sources of fiber also provide anti-oxidants.

One of the benefits of moving to low-carb/keto is the reduction of inflammation in the body. As you progress you learn which fats are healthier than others. You stop consuming shit like corn oil, canola oil, soybean oil, margarine etc., and replace them with healthy fats like extra-virgin olive oil, unrefined coconut oil, grass-fed butter, avocado oil etc. You learn which are more prone to oxidation and at what temperatures. You start getting your Omega-3/6 ratio in balance which further reduces inflammation. No matter whatever health benefits people say you get from whole grains, they're massively outweighed by the negative effects they have on the body, primarily in the form of inflammation, especially of the gut.

B-but cutting out whole grains means you miss out on things like iron, B-6, and magnesium

You can get all of those without touching grains, and they'd be more bio-available too without causing as much inflammation

At the end of the day, diet is one of those things you have to tweak and test until you find what works for you. Personally a ketogeneic diet has worked great for me. It might not work as well for you. It's something you have to test for yourself. All I know is I've lost over 70lbs of fat. My meals satiate me more. I don't get the urge to snack throughout the day. After a year of eating high amounts of fat, my blood pressure is great, and my lipid profile is practically fucking perfect. My triglycerides are lower than before I started the diet. I know it's anecdotal, but it's what's worked best for me. Find what works for you and improve as you go.
