What is the ketogenic diet and does it really work?

In 1972, Atkins pioneered the low-carb weight loss method.

He believes that if you want to lose weight, it is best to eat foods containing protein, but not any carbohydrate foods.

This method is also known as the carnivore weight loss method in China, and it has received widespread attention and imitation because of its novel concept.

Later, the low-carb diet developed into the ketogenic diet.

This is a formula diet with a high proportion of fat, low proportion of carbohydrates, and appropriate protein and other nutrients.

Supporters of the low-carb diet often point to the research results of foreign experts and say, "Many studies have found that eating less and moving more cannot help lose weight." They say that the low-carb diet has always been the best in weight loss, and foreign diets have always been the best.

I have done a lot of comparisons between low-carb and low-fat diets, and in the end the low-carb diet wins.

I saw an article advocating a low-carb diet, which said, "It is already a mainstream diet among the middle class in Europe and the United States, but it is still being misunderstood and criticized in China. More and more people are realizing the benefits of low-carb.

, No one can stop the trend of low-carb diets. "As for these so-called scientific research results, I just want to remind everyone: scientists are a type of people who are very prone to making mistakes.

While counterintuitive views may be true, they are more likely to be wrong.

Open the book "Calories and Corsets" and you will find diets to try including "Russian Air Force Diet", "Low Glycemic Index (GI) Diet", "Hollywood Diet" and "McDougall Diet"

The Duquesne Diet”, “Caveman Diet”, etc., you name it.

Each of these has the support of "scientific research" behind it.

I never believe that a certain dietary method has miraculous weight loss effects. It is a personal matter to take risks and try. However, it is too much to attribute the reason why "low-carb diet" cannot become popular to a conspiracy theory that artificially prevents it.

An article wrote, "In China, most people still eat rice, noodles, and steamed buns as their staple food. If the government dares to say that refined carbohydrates are not good for health, it will cause many social problems." In this regard, I really want to say, bragging.

There is something wrong with the carbon brain.

One moment they say low carbon is good, and the other moment they say there is a problem with refined carbohydrates.

No matter what, there is nothing wrong with food in the first place, it’s the people themselves who have the problem.

Anyone who gains weight or is unable to lose weight is eating the wrong foods, both in type and quantity.

Why not advise people to eat a normal diet?

Food eaten in accordance with the "Nutritional Dietary Guidelines for Residents" meets the nutritional needs of the human body and will not make people fat.

As long as you add some appropriate activities, the fat will gradually come off.

Unfortunately, normal diet is not fast enough to lose weight and cannot satisfy the need for quick success, so there is a market space for "low-carb diet".

So far, there is no quick and cost-effective way to lose weight.

Previously, Japanese weight loss guru Hideki Kiriyama became a hot news topic by advocating a method of losing 6 pounds in a week by not eating staple food.

However, he died of a heart attack.

But this may be an isolated case. I can’t defeat everyone with one stroke, so just try it if you are anxious to lose weight.

Even without talking about the adverse consequences of low-carb weight loss, I am firmly opposed to low-carb diets.

Because of the caloric deficit caused by a low-carb diet, more fat and protein must be used to make up for it.

Fat comes from plants such as peanuts, sesame, and walnuts and animals such as pigs, cattle, and sheep, and protein comes from plants such as soybeans and animals such as chickens, ducks, and fish.

These are mainly livestock, poultry and crops domesticated by humans after the end of the Ice Age 13,000 years ago.

Assuming that humans now abandon the high-carbon diet they have had since ancient times, more land will be used to grow these crops, and more crops will be used to raise these livestock.

It is conceivable that this is a huge disaster for the earth's ecological environment.

Forests will be leveled to make way for growing crops and grazing cattle and sheep; grain will be used as fodder for cattle and sheep, rather than directly becoming food for humans.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely wasteful and cruel approach to nature.

The more I think about it, the more ridiculous I find it. Greedy humans take a disproportionate amount of food from nature and suffer the retribution of becoming fat.

But their approach is not to restore a balanced and moderate diet, but to seek a panacea and continue to indulge in the slavery of desire.

But I cannot deny that excessive intake of carbohydrates is the direct cause of today's obesity, but carbohydrates include dietary fiber, starch and sugar.

No one would eat too much dietary fiber, and no one would eat too much starch if there was no sugar.

It’s all due to the human instinct to love good food, and food manufacturers take advantage of this to create delicious food that people can’t stop eating.

Fad diets that claim to be a quick fix will never work.

To put it bluntly, we must rethink the pleasure of satisfying our appetites and replace it with other pleasures.

People who lose weight must regain self-control and break away from the slavery of desires.
