[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2121333, member: 41816"] Hi Johny, You are making a lot of statements that are your [B][I]opinions[/I][/B], yet you are presenting them as [B][I]facts[/I][/B]. I think you would do far better to express yourself differently. If you continue to make statements then you are going to be asked to provide references to those statements. For example: No. LCHF is a way of eating, not a bodily process. I disagree. Please provide references for this claim. There are now numerous, longer term studies on ketosis that do not support your opinion. My body is not in crisis when I use ketones for energy. It functions better than when I am fuelled primarily by glucose. I have more energy, more stamina, better concentration and my appetite no longer rules me. Doesn’t sound like a crisis, does it? You are referring to an [B][I]alternate[/I][/B] pathway, not a crisis pathway. Yes. This is great. It means that there is no rapid dump of glucose in the body, and energy release is slow and steady. I consider this a major advantage of eating no carbs. And because ketosis is a slow, long term energy release, there are no energy highs and lows like there can be with carbs. No worries if we skip a meal. No need to ‘carb up’. No need to endlessly snack. Please explain why you consider this to be a problem. I don’t. I eat high fat, and have done so for years. My body and my digestive tract enjoy this way of eating and cope with it far better than if there were carbs in the meal. No flatulence, no indigestion, no overly full feelings. No sudden hunger. No urgent need to eat. No sleepiness after meals. All those symptoms disappeared when I gave up carbs and my body didn't have to cope with carbs, proteins and fats at the same time. It sounds to me as if you are talking about a way of eating that you do not understand and have not experienced - you certainly don’t seem to be talking from personal experience of a well formulated LCHF way of eating and a fat adapted lifestyle. You are entitled to your [B][I]opinion[/I][/B], but my body, and years of [B][I]experience[/I][/B] eating LCHF, keto and Zero Carb convince me that your opinions (presented as statements of fact) are not appropriate to me. I see no need to stress my liver, my pancreas and build insulin resistance for no good reason. You seem to believe that because your body [B][I]can[/I][/B] burn glucose as the main fuel, it should. Yet you state that because the body [B][I]can[/I][/B] burn ketones as the main fuel, it shouldn’t. This is illogical. Please provide references to support your opinion. You seem to be telling us that eating LFHC causes T2. I disagree. It is nowhere near as simplistic as that. And it is certainly not the case for me. And not in the case of many people on this forum. I suggest that you do further reading on the various reasons why people develop T2. In my case I have never been able to eat high carb, and I never fell for the low fat thinking. My glucose dysregulation and T2 blood glucose levels were not ‘caused’ by HCLF. Please explain this theory, with references. In 30+ years of eating low carb I have not encountered this problem in myself or in others. Unless you can substantiate this with evidence, it sounds like scaremongering. Yes. In this post, I think you are. [/QUOTE]
