You're wrong actually. Do the research yourself and then tell me she owned me.

Again, I've wished her luck multiple times in the thread. It was only after I recommended it to her and she said it wasn't healthy that I got mad.

Paid professionals don't know much about keto diets. In fact, the way to know a good nutrition professional from a typical one is to test them on keto.

It is proven that it's healthy long term and good for pretty much anyone. The quesion is can you stick to it?

Not trying to shit on anyone's method but just wanted to comment on the "professionals know thier stuff bit".

If you're doing the no-carb thing, all I'm saying is that you need to research fats as well. Here's a good article from http://science.howstuffworks.com/inn...tions/fat3.htm. It does a good job explaining, in general, how fats work. I'm not arguing about no-carb diets being unhealthy, I'm talking about the fats you choose to substitute the calorie deficit with being unhealthy. It's great that you're doing well losing weight. Please just consider other areas of your health as well. That's what I've been trying to say.

As for my personal trainer, she doesn't like the no-carb diet for this reason: People do it to lose weight, but they neglect their overall health by not paying enough attention to what else they're eating.

I know I said I was going to ignore this thread, but 1. I figured you and Clay would be dogging me, and 2. I'm concerned for your overall well-being. Please just know what else you're putting in your body, and not just what you're not putting in your body. That's all.

Fat and Health

Most of the nutrition science you hear about right now points to mono-unsaturated fats as the good fats. Olive oil and canola oil are both mono-unsaturated. Mono-unsaturated fats are thought to lower cholesterol.

In general, the fats to steer clear of are the saturated fats. Saturated fats are bad because they clog your arteries. Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (which are artificially saturated fats) are now considered totally evil, both because of the saturation and a side-effect of hydrogenation called trans fatty acids.

Fatty acids that have double bonds come in two forms: trans and cis. "Trans" and "cis" refer to the direction of folding that occurs at the carbon double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids. Cis fatty acids are the normal, natural directions for the folds. A trans fatty acid is chemically identical to the cis form, but folds in an unnatural direction. The trans fatty acids are created by heat (as in deep frying) and by hydrogenation.

It turns out that in the body, the enzymes that deal with fat are unable to deal with the trans fatty acids (see How Cells Work for details on enzymes). Therefore, the enzymes get tied up trying to work on the trans fatty acids, and this can lead to problems with the processing of essential fatty acids.
Essential fatty acids are not bad for you the way trans fatty acids are. They're actually essential to good health.

You just used How Stuff Works .com to prove your point.

By the way, there was not one mention of insulin in that article.

I give up. Good luck to you.

[Buck]

I'm done too, I won't advocate low carb to you anymore in this thread.

I know Trans Fats are bad, but everything else about that article is hogwash.

This article is wrong, unfortunately.

Someone link this article for luv. It's far more insightful.
