I've done both keto and whole-foods-plant-based diets. Both lose weight - but I feel a lot more energy on a starch based diet. Whole plant foods contain the right amount of fat (10%). Who cares about farts when I never get constipated. With a little exercise and a starch based diet I was able to lose 80lbs. When I started introducing fats and added refined sugars - the weight came back. The fat you eat is the fat you wear. Long term ketosis is not optimal health. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22850317 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11108325 Look at cheese consumption and it tracks national weight gain. We're taking in way more fat today than long ago. http://www.pcrm.org/images/media/blog/cheese_consumption.jpg But we're taking more calories overall - so people get to blame whatever they want. Starches powered all civilizations up to the 20th century. Only when we started consuming lots of meat and purified sugars and white flour did we really gain weight. |
