[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve done it for many years, so yes you can stay on it.

No, [b]your body doesn’t need carbs,[/b] and neither does your brain, no, keto does not destroy your kidneys.[/quote]

Please cite medical research. [/quote]
NP and too lazy to go looking, but on super low carb diets, your body manufactures them itself. If you need proof that the human body doesn’t need carbs, the existence of humans in the Arctic Circle, who survived pretty much on meat and fish (they ate plants and thus carbohydrates where available, but it’s not like the Arctic is a rich source of plant-based foods), is it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_cuisine

I’m not defending a keto diet for widespread consumption - nothing could be more tedious than listening to a friend calculate macros - but no, we don’t really need carbs. They sure are tasty![/quote]

It's a less efficient process.  It requires more fuel and produces less energy.  That's why keto may be good for weight loss for some people but it's not a good way to live.[/quote]

Your GI system, from the top to the bottom is a lot healthier when whole grains are consumed.  The fiber provided from fruits and vegetables is not
The same and while it is beneficial in different ways, the soluble fiber from legumes and whole grains has heath benefits you don’t get from low carb vegetables.  Some oatmeal for breakfast a few days per week (hi oatmeal lady, love you), some quinoa with salmon and vegetables  for dinner, a spouted whole grain wrap filled with Veggies and hummous…these things are GOOD for you.  There is plenty of research on this.  Eating carbs shouldn’t mean rice and pasta all day every day.  But a couple servings of whole grains most days is definitely beneficial for all people and isnt what is making anyone obese

I have done Keto, did well on it (most days I'm still low carb) and agree with you. When I choose to have carbs I reach for the some of the ones you have mentioned-I still try to avoid wheat as much as possible because it gives me gastric issues.  I can eat potatoes and legumes with no problems.

There is a big difference in the quality of carbs and fats no matter what diet lifestyle you follow.  [/quote]
