Prolonged lowered calories tanks metabolism afaik. Alternate day fasting would be more effective I'd say. Things like eating 5000 calories on one (Training) day (up to 3 meals, ketogenic macros 80:20), then not eating the next day. Drinking electrolyte solution on fasting days. Ketosis/Fasting is muscle sparing. You could eat protein and fat in the morning, have some rice/fruit/dextrose around you workout and then eat protein and fat in the evening again. Metabolic flexibility is the ultimate health goal.

Lowered sex drive, skin looks worse, blood pressure raises. I don’t doubt that some people can’t handle it, but for myself it has been nothing but positive. I haven’t even mentioned the mental factors, which are probably the biggest positive.

@@bowtiedreynard9167 there is mounting evidence, anecdotal and empirical, that suggests that caloric restriction, even prolonged, is better for health and longevity. Yes, your metabolism slows down, but slowed metabolism does not mean it’s not flexible.

Low carb is NOT low calorie. I’m a woman who’s lost over 30 pounds in three months eating low carb, high fat. I’ve never been hungry and feel so much better than when I was eating simple carbs. I gave up all sugar, bread and pasta. Not easy for an Italian at first but now I don’t have cravings at all. I’m keeping this lifestyle because I’m happy with it.
I like how everything today is geared towards people losing weight. People who give up one of the important macros that have ever existed are basically saying they can’t control themselves so they shut it out completely. Humans have been eating high carb diet for thousands of years basically when we found agriculture. Keto or low diets help you lose weight but it will absolutely destroy your health long term.
@Ky Jelly first of all your the reason why your were fat not carbohydrates. And the reason why America is so fat is because high calorie processed food not carbohydrates. You couldn’t control yourself. You also mention how back then all poor people ate was carbs and sugar and no protein and nobody was fat because they were active? That’s on you. Are you describing yourself because how in the hell can you get thru a gym session on a low carb diet? You have no energy you lose muscle and you feel like shit.
Been losing MAD hair on keto and didn't even lose any weight over a 2 month period lol, gonna switch to a low carb diet (60g to 100g net carb) with extra carbs around lifts. Also, keto does raise total test, but reduces free testosterone which kinda makes it moot.
True. You really don't have to do low carb. All research shows low carb diets to be unsuccessful. Balance it out. Low carb diets affect your shbg levels drastically too. It might help you live longer but not better for sure. Also, you didn't lose weight because you weren't hypocaloric. The tissue in your body is made up of calories entirely. Im order for you to cut fat, you need to be in a deficit. Cheers. Angad ACE CPT, NCSF CSC
I also suffered bad thinning hair on keto BUT it's has been reversed with CARNIVORE diet, within 3 days hair fall stops and now I got my thick bountiful hair back. it's 0 carb, and my PMS completely gone, pain free.
These are seasons why I never take carbs below 250 grams per day. Low carb may improve overall weight management, but it causes a bit of other issues like Indians hair loss
I have a nice re-feed or cheat day every other Saturday and that seems to help me out quite a bit. Other than that, I eat mainly protein, some fats and very few to no carbs.
How long have you been doing this? I'm thinking about doing something similar but don't want to lose the good effects I've been experiencing from carnivore. The good effects have been no joint pain almost no sign of swelling no phlegm better energy most the time although there are some times of bad fatigue which I dealt with beforehand
The most important thing in a diet is balance. Cutting out any food group is probably not the best idea for overall health. The best advice is to stay away from processed foods and refined sugers or just eat very little of them.
No sal is right. It’s to do with nutrient sensing pathways - carbs have an impact on hormone levels. Protein and fats dont. You need fats to make hormones. Different thing.
Like the guy said. If you do it for health it'll help hormones. For example, myself I went from obese to in shape doing keto and felt like a beast. However when I was over doing it and got very lean I think I had issues with depression and stuff. I'm actually getting back on keto now and have been losing weight this time I'll get back on carbs once I get in the teens of body fat
I'm on paleo diet, i will eat keto bread. Anyways a high protein diet with alot of greens, spinach, broccoli, zucchini seem to help keep me satisfied along with about 50grams of protein per meal. My gyno has gone down just a little, I've lost 6lbs my first week and only eat when I'm hungry. I also try to get 7 to 9 hours of sleep a day.
Charles Poliquin recommended low carb to anyone over 10% BF along with German Body Comp training. Is it safe to use this for 10 weeks or so to shred? I'm trying to get real lean before my son is born. Currently sitting about 18-20% bf.
I did carnivore diet from aug 12- dec 25 In November I began getting hormonal migraines 2-3 times a month.. I am wondering if I have wrecked my hormones .. before carnivore only has 1-3 migraines A YEAR - usually hormonal related November - December 2023 I had FIVE. Has anyone ever heard of this happening before - I can’t find any other anecdotal evidence for it
I've been doing carnivore for 3 months. I've lost 31 lbs so far. I've been working out the whole time. I've been gradually loosing strength. The other day I was doing bench press. I did 155x10 one set. Next set was 155x6. This is horrible for me. I'm now experimenting with adding carbs before a workout. 2 tablespoons of raw honey. I'll see how this works for a couple weeks. This will add about 34mg of carbs. Then go from there. I'll be doing it late afternoon early evening before a workout. Not in the morning or just after getting up but later in the day. I want to find this ballance of loosing weight without hurting my workout.
There is a difference between being in ketosis and being fed adapted. If you start feeding yourself carbs before workout it will be more difficult to be fed adapted. The general consensus is once you are used to being fat adapted you can switch between carbs and fat fairly easily.
Doing Keto and IF been I’m on my 3rd week... it’s great lost 7 pounds in the first 15 days presuming 2-3-4 of that was water but it’s coming off can’t wait to see what this next 2 weeks sheds 💪
The reason I don't like low carb diets is because I like carbs... And you probably do too. If you want to lose weight, go for a keto like diet for a little while. If it works, great. But if you can't keep the weight off then I don't think it's worth it. I've tried all the diets and the only one that worked for me is portion control and the lifestyle change that came with it. My parents taught me bad eating habits as a child. I'm 26 and I'm just now starting to understand what a good relationship with food feels like. You can trick your body into all sorts of things. Maybe less carbs means you're getting hungry less. But are you never going to eat pizza again? My answer is an big no. It's better to rely on your own will power than relying on restricting certain foods completely. You are a human and food used to be a scarce resource. I've accepted my evolutionary tendency to be addicted to food and I'm on my way to stomping it out. Bottom line, eating under your maintenance isn't supposed to be easy when you're surrounded by food, because your body doesn't prefer to voluntarily starve itself. I suppose any diet that is restricting calories below maintenance is teaching you how to eat with discipline. People search for the quick and easy method without thinking about the long term. In theory, you should only be eating below your maintenance for one weight loss cycle, and if you keep the weight off, you eat at maintenance for the rest of your life. I'm 6 foot, 190 pounds and I'm still trying to cut the last bit of fat. Even at a 750 calorie deficit, I'm eating 2800 calories a day because I'm very active. My metabolism grinds through food like crazy, but that also means if I eat like shit and don't exercise, my body works out into gay very quickly. I'm leaner now than I was two years ago at ~170 because I put on some muscle. Long term success is about discipline. Fad diets can be good for short term success, but if you are playing the weight loss game because you want to actually be healthier, then discipline is all that matters. Daily exercise is the thing that finally brought me the discipline to stick to a good diet. If you want to play on hard mode, try eating edibles everyday... Talk about insatiable hunger.
@@oranges557 you don't know what you're talking about. Portion control is literally the only way to lose weight. It is the corner stone of every diet. You can't lose weight without controlling portions.
@@limitisillusion7 aaaaand THATS exactly why more than half of the people that do this , gain all their weight back, and mostly more. Portion control is starvation, it is unreliable and hard. On keto youre not starving yourself at all. You hear sooo often that people do keto and for the first time they manage to get lean. Me included. I cant lost weight on carbs in long term. I get hungry extremely fast again and sometimes my hormones are so mixed up that i get ravenous hunger.
@@oranges557 in order to lose weight, you have to be in a caloric deficit. This is true for keto and every other diet that seeks to lose weight. This implies portion control, no matter what way you spin it.
@@limitisillusion7 with the "little" difference that you dont get hungry during keto. Youre literally full. And believe or not. Its harder to gain weight on keto then on a normal diet. You can overeat but somehow you wont take weight on as fast. Most people in keto have noticed that.
Are we talking low carb or keto. I’ve been on keto for 6 months. Lost fat. Gained muscle. I’m feeling great. My question is, what can I expect if I continue this long term?
Check your testosterone if you do it long term. I did it 4 years. First two dropped 60 lbs, felt great. last two were a little rough. Was very low carb and I'm very militant... barely any carbs. It tanked my Testosterone. I've swapped back to a regular diet and started lifting more weights. Going to see if the Testosterone goes back up after a few months. Interesting experiment. Everyone is different, just something to keep in mind.
I was on keto for 6 months. Yes you lose weight and you CAN gain muscle. But you will feel like shit constantly, get 4-6 hours of sleep at most, workouts are shit, and I was depressed as well. I didn’t feel like this during the early months, but I wouldn’t recommend long term.
I been experimenting with something a bit taboo. I used to feel fatigue and slow recovery after workout and just was feed up with it. Long story short someone recommended me to try eating or drinking my own semen. 1 in the morning and 1 before bed. So far I've been feeling back on track as far as strength and energy.
After reading your comment I tried this semen diet myself and boy I can’t thank you enough, I’ve gained 6 pounds of muscle, I feel 10x stronger and have so much energy in the day. P.S I increased the dosage from 1 in the morning and evening to 3. Although it can be kind of taxing some days..
RUclips is so confusing. I got PCOS and on keto diet, trying to get pregnant & not getting pregnant. Some doctors say keto and IMF help women with PCOS. I am doing it and now I cannot see ovulation.
look up Natasha Campbell McBride infertility. There's a podcast episode on it. Eat raw cheeses, ~30g liver a day, other organ meats (thymus, heart, tongue etc.). Don't calorie restrict. Eat a ton of animal Fat. Tallow, Butter (raw if you can get it).
The fat increases testosterone, and grains decrease testosterone, so this is why people get confused. Carbohydrates increase testosterone if they are in natural form (fruit, agave nectar) and possibly some toxic tubers like yams and potatoes can have an androgenic effect on humans, but bread, pasta, cereal and all that has a feminizing effect. So if your T shot up, thats probably why
total t isn't the whole picture. You have to look at total and free. Additionally, you have to use the most advanced measurement method for both to obtain the best accuracy. Seems people are having a TT increase while the FT crashes. I am just beginning to investigate this myself (I am low carb, not keto).
Most people need less protein (0.36g/lb, maybe double that if you’re a performance athlete), saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates and more healthy fats and complex carbs.
A lot of people especially women eat to low protein and get a lot of problems like hair loss etc... Less saturated fats? 🤦🏻 People have to stay away from industrial seed oils, which are the biggest poison for our health. All the essential fat soluble vitamins are in food, that contain good amounts of saturated fats... My hormones are so amazing after ditching all oils except extra virgine olive- and coconut oil and increasing my saturated fats from raw grass fed dairy, pasture raised eggs, coconut, cocoa etc... All essential things we need only in smaller amounts and the non - essential things are so crucial to health, that your body can build this stuff on their own. All extreme diets are bad long term (vegan, keto, carnivore, frugivore etc...). I eat a lot of carbs/sugars, fats (mostly saturated and monounsaturated) and moderate high quality proteins. My C - RP was 0.4 five weeks ago. Why? Because all my natural foods are improving inflammation and have all the micronutrients my body needs ;-). Enjoy all macros dependend on activity levels from natural food and you can live a long healthy life 👌🏼

look into More Plates More Dates, very informative content creator on this subject.
How can we get our hormone levels tested?
Just ask your doctor for a blood test to check hormone levels.
We are meant to eat low carb
As long as 55% of your daily calories come from carbs, it’s low enough
@@videogazer801 it's a lie!
@@SuperbExistence yep, that’s what I said as well once I watched this video. It’s a total lie, humans need carbs in order to live healthy 👍
you should not cut out carbs permanently there is no reason to do so whatsoever
I been experimenting with something a bit taboo. I used to feel fatigue and slow recovery after workout and just was feed up with it. Long story short someone recommended me to try eating or drinking my own semen. 1 in the morning and 1 before bed. So far I've been feeling back on track as far as strength and energy.
This sounds great! I’ve been doing this out of a medical condition for quite some time now, and if it can help you too then wonderful!
Hilarious🤣
After reading your comment I tried this semen diet myself and boy I can’t thank you enough, I’ve gained 6 pounds of muscle, I feel 10x stronger and have so much energy in the day. P.S I increased the dosage from 1 in the morning and evening to 3. Although it can be kind of taxing some days..
lmfao
The troll level here is unbelievable
RUclips is so confusing. I got PCOS and on keto diet, trying to get pregnant & not getting pregnant. Some doctors say keto and IMF help women with PCOS. I am doing it and now I cannot see ovulation.
look up Natasha Campbell McBride infertility. There's a podcast episode on it. Eat raw cheeses, ~30g liver a day, other organ meats (thymus, heart, tongue etc.). Don't calorie restrict. Eat a ton of animal Fat. Tallow, Butter (raw if you can get it).

The fact none of these guys is shredded is cool.
on strict Keto for 2 years, at 56 my Total T shot up to 1050, and cholesterol to 368. I don't know what to say.
A high fat diet will do both of these
The fat increases testosterone, and grains decrease testosterone, so this is why people get confused.
Carbohydrates increase testosterone if they are in natural form (fruit, agave nectar) and possibly some toxic tubers like yams and potatoes can have an androgenic effect on humans, but bread, pasta, cereal and all that has a feminizing effect. So if your T shot up, thats probably why
So you feel better on keto
total t isn't the whole picture. You have to look at total and free. Additionally, you have to use the most advanced measurement method for both to obtain the best accuracy. Seems people are having a TT increase while the FT crashes. I am just beginning to investigate this myself (I am low carb, not keto).
@@tserevenadlow carb is a waste of time. Keto is healthy and low carb is a great way to live with a host of health issues
Most people need less protein (0.36g/lb, maybe double that if you’re a performance athlete), saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates and more healthy fats and complex carbs.
A lot of people especially women eat to low protein and get a lot of problems like hair loss etc...
Less saturated fats? 🤦🏻 People have to stay away from industrial seed oils, which are the biggest poison for our health. All the essential fat soluble vitamins are in food, that contain good amounts of saturated fats...
My hormones are so amazing after ditching all oils except extra virgine olive- and coconut oil and increasing my saturated fats from raw grass fed dairy, pasture raised eggs, coconut, cocoa etc...
All essential things we need only in smaller amounts and the non - essential things are so crucial to health, that your body can build this stuff on their own.
All extreme diets are bad long term (vegan, keto, carnivore, frugivore etc...).
I eat a lot of carbs/sugars, fats (mostly saturated and monounsaturated) and moderate high quality proteins. My C - RP was 0.4 five weeks ago. Why? Because all my natural foods are improving inflammation and have all the micronutrients my body needs ;-).
Enjoy all macros dependend on activity levels from natural food and you can live a long healthy life 👌🏼
