/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Idk, every person I've seen in real life who talks about it is fucking fat.

Look up Terry Wahls. You'll have to buy a book to learn what she has to say specifically, but people you find mentioning her will be talking about the advantages of keto beyond weight loss.

My dad's body couldn't get out of ketosis. He doesn't even know what the keto diet is. He crashed his car last Thursday and went into a diabetic coma. It took 6 hours to get his blood sugar under 700. The dude barely has any fat on his body. Fuck the keto diet

That's diabetic ketoacidosis. If your story is true, why wasn't he taking his insulin? Honestly, sounds like he was trying to suicide.

I hear it's a good treatment for autism. You should try it.

>Why is it so hard to find good discussion of the keto diet for non-weightloss purposes?
Because people got memed on into thinking it's a weight loss diet and then memed their misinformation to all the other retards. If people are doscussing keto for weight loss, ignore them entirely.

Lol ur dad is a fucking retard to get ketoacidosis, and ur just as retarded for not knowing the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis. Protip: it's the letters "a" "c" "i" "& d".

Tried bulking on keto while I did SS. It's really fucking hard. Gave up after 2 weeks of losing weight around 220. As for feeling I will tell you that I never experienced the "keto flu" I peed and drank ALOT, I tested my ketones with a pee strip. Supplemented alot of mct oil. Most of my diet was eggs. Energy was at a consistent level throughout the day and I needed an hour or two less of sleep.

Isn't the whole point of the keto diet to get energy from body fat instead of carbs? Seems pointless to use the diet if you're not trying to lose weight.

No, it's to make your body convert consumed fat into ketones so that they are your source of energy instead. This is already used to treat epilepsy in the young, and it is argued that there are benefits to the mind even if you don't have epilepsy. Hence the derogatory term "grain brain." It is also argued that your stamina is improved, and other such things.

I should have added: the weight loss theory simply stems from the idea that you feel fuller for longer on such a diet, and that food cravings are allayed. People doing it for weight loss believe that they won't have to struggle with their urges to consume fewer calories.

keto is looking very promising for a number of chronic diseases.

>>11191466
it's because keto is the new gluten-free or vegan. it's a mostly meme diet that hipsters latch onto for no real reason so the small minority of people that actually get any medical benefit from it get screwed over

>>11191466
I do it for my migraines. what do you want to know?

>>11191466
I did keto for a while to clear out a persistent sinus infection. Started it again this last weekend to make sure my sinuses are clear, getting ready for the incoming hurricane.

>>11191466
epilepsy patients do ketogenic diets too, maybe look into their cooking formus

>>11191466
Because keto is very good for losing weight quickly. Depending on what you want, it may be better to search for something else instead of "keto diet" though. Atkins Diet, Keto Diet, and Diabetics Diet are all essentially the same thing but with different focuses on what specific foods to eat yet people use them interchangeably

>>11191466
Keto is probably not healthy for long term use. It is a weight loss method.

>essentially the same thing
The keto diet is actually closer to the vegetarian diet than it is to Atkins.

Apart from trying to feel good and think more clearly, I'm also trying to decrease stress and tics, as I suffer from Tourette's.
