Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 532959" data-source="post: 2670982">Let's perhaps nip a few of your notions in the bud(s):I do have various issues with the false-narratives used to 'sell' such the keto/low-carb  diet, along with the tendency for it to be animal-heavy. However, I don't have a problem with people choosing such a WOE. I also have no issue with fasting, either intermittent or extended, and have a ton of my own experience with various fasting modalities.I also think it's very important to make the distinction between fed-state/dietary ketosis and fasted ketosis. I don't think I've suggested that fed-state/dietary ketosis is akin to starvation. Perhaps I should've been clearer...I don'tTo provide context for my comments, I'll go back to the comment I originally responded to:I first took issue with the notion that when food was scarce these people fasted. As should be clear, fasting is a choice. The rest of the comment goes on to make certain claims about the benefits of fasting, and is capped off with a lamenting of how our species has lost its way. To me, this (and the whole comment really) implies that our ancestors were possessed of some ancient wisdom about fasting, that we've somehow lost today. My comments related to that, and it should be very clear how much I disagree.</blockquote>
