The New Low Carb Trend

[The Keto Kid]

Piana always order his burgers from InandOut protein style,  no bun.

[joswift]

so if i am reading this right joswift  likes the keto diet ?    mr swift correct me if i am wrong

I dont think keto is even possible as a bodybuilder due to the amount of protein they eat, any excess protein just takes you out of ketosis as the body breaks it down into glucose

I read a few studies that went as low as 75gms of protein being enough to take you out of ketosis based on bodyweight

I eat meat , eggs and dairy, I probably eat between 50 and 100gms carbs from the dairy I eat


Pissing on keto sticks and high fiving yourself all day seems a bit pointless to me, just look in the mirror

And he's dead.  He should have used a bun.

So did Arnold, before he went vegan recently.  He's still alive.

It’s really an intensity issue. Fats provide energy for low to moderate intensity activities but when you get to about 2/3 of VO2MAX carbs start to take over. Once you’re at 80% it’s all carbs.



What about Keto Cookies?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The body can produce the glucose it needs for intense exercise at very short notice. Why post stuff like this like there aren't many zero carb world class athletes? If you're just regurgitating dated mom science you should be honest about it.

Another Butt Hurt Keto Warrior that can’t handle the shortcomings of the diet with regard to athletic performance.

So what he eats throughout the day are eggs (an egg sandwich for breakfast, mostly), pasta with a side of chicken breast for lunch, and Jamaican dumplings or rice and peas with pork and roasted chicken for dinner.

The elite athletes and physiques on GB need to stick to their extreme diet lest they lose their winning edge.

Keto or just low carb is certainly of value to a bodybuilder as it allows one to strip off body fat quickly.

The problem long term is that it’s too restrictive and people get tired of the limited options.

Why does it have to be the only way you ever eat again? When you get sick of it, take a break. Any eating regimen that gives you above average results is going to require a level of sacrifice. The reason high fat, high protein, low carb protein diets appeal to so many is because many people  think they feel a lot less restrictive than traditional eating plans. You keep saying it's too restrictive, but that isn't really a given.

If the crossover concept is true, then that lends credence to what many say about carbs.  They are useful when doing high intensity activity, but don't burn off as easily with moderate intensity.  If you aren't running a marathon, maybe it is much smarter to stick to foods that are higher fat, higher protein.  I can speak from personal experience that you can get through high intensity weight training workouts on high protein-fat/low carb.

A calorie is a calorie. Kind of - assuming you are not eating paper, lol. Where's Adonis when you need him?

Don't you mean some foods are better than others? Seems to me a calorie is a calorie, but some foods that have a lot of calories don't have many nutrients for the human body. 

All calories have the same amount of energy. One dietary calorie contains 4,184 Joules of energy.

Healthy fats increase testosterone levels.

A calorie is a calorie, but not all calories are equal so it would be missleading to talk about calories in that way.

just have your daily bulletproof coffee and you're golden.

It's not a linear dose response relationship, it's just a box to tick with a very low ceiling.

Also, doesn't matter if you're exogenously supplying your body with testosterone!

I feel hairs splitting and I'm bald. Go figure.

Why is paper the demarcation line for what counts as a calorie? Much of it is plant based. The issue would be that it probably contains almost no calories.

As the video points out, we can see that some calories are burned and utilized differently by the body. Alcohol, for instance, is utilized by the brain and kidneys in a different way. You don't even need complex scientific methods to realize this. So all of those calories are obviously not burned efficiently. What are the chances that alcohol is the only thing we ingest that burns differently?

Healthy fats increase testosterone levels.

Saturated fats increase test levels the most

Good god it was a joke Al. All calorie measurements are made using a technique called bomb calorimetry. Even a fucking lump of coal inside the calorimeter will give you a calorie value, lol. Of course every food processes differently enzymatically- some faster than others. And no, we can’t process cellulose because unlike cows we lack the enzymes to split that polysaccharide into glucose units. Hence we can’t eat paper even though it combusts in a calorimeter.
