Keto

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

I've read many accounts of people who's skin issues got better on Keto but didn't clear up until they went full Carnivore.

My guess is by skin issues he means excess skin from dropping 160 pounds.

It may be conventional wisdom we've all heard over and over, and yet the portions of society that just keep getting fatter and fatter are also rarely applying that conventional wisdom to their own life in a long-term, committed way - including any old school doc who does not practice what he preaches.

As for evolution, you're right that our understanding of nutritional physiology has evolved over thousands of years. High-fat, high-protein, fasting-period diets are a regression to days where food was limited to what you could hunt, farm, gather, prepare in your immediate vicinity, which also covers the same span of human history where life expectancy was incredibly short and causes of heart disease and liver and kidney function troubles were either entirely unknown or misunderstood.

Science is not a fad. We have evolved, and our evolution tells us balanced nutrition and a balanced lifestyle of activity and rest give us the best shot at overall improved health. I would hope that "conventional wisdom" agreed upon by the scientific findings of modern history would be taken to heart more easily than a trending diet from pop culture media being pushed by industries with apps, apparel, and supplements to sell.

Conventional wisdom had white bread as the foundation of a well-balanced diet just a few decades ago. Low-fat processed foods were recommended about a decade ago.

I contend conventional wisdom is still a few decades behind the current science.

Yeah…because the medical and nutritional resources have never failed us to date. Faulty studies (test subjects trusted to keep accurate “food journals”), questionable funding sources (e.g….food processors, ag, and chemical companies), etc. Nothing can go wrong there.

Can I get you some more low fat margarine?

I have a lot more confidence in doctors actually doing keto and carnivore themselves (and guiding their patients to so as well) and reporting on all the associated benefit than the institutions that have failed us measurably for the last few decades.

Heh, well sure. I don't believe anything I've shared here dives into minutiae of your personal grocery lists. The concerns expressed are the pitfalls of diving headfirst into every new trending, unbalanced diet fueled by paid marketing and short-term speculation -vs- embracing a steady, long-term commitment to balanced nutrition and lifestyle.
