BACON IS FOR CLOSERS...

[DayTimer]

I can tell you I just came off near 4 years, I don't want to say diet but eating healthy (or so I thought) diet included black beans, greek yogurt with berries, whole-wheat including pasta, bread, and wraps, Quinoa, Healthy popcorn, fish grilled chicken, Vegies and so forth

The Greek yogurt probably had a lot of added sugar.
There is no such thing as healthy popcorn (unless you are a popcorn company lol).
The pasta, bread, and wraps also are simplly processed carbohydrates.

If you had eaten just the black beans, plain unsweetened Greek yogurt with berries, Quinoa (God-bless you but that stuff is God-awful to me), fish, grilled chicken, veggies, you'd probably have done very well.

Any whole foods diet that removes sugars, processed carbs, vegetable and seed oils, is likely going to make you healthier. The reason to do a keto or very low carb diet is to heal a damaged metabolism: Get your blood sugars normalized, insulin levels normalized, and let you adipose (fat) tissue, which is itself an organ, just like the heart, the lungs, the skin, functioning properly again.

For some of us, the damage is such that we need to stay low carb for life. For others, a return to a good old fashioned meat and potatos diet with fruit and vegetables will be no problem.

Keto heals, but it does not always cure. For those who are cured of metabolic disorder as a result, then so long as you don't return to the pasts, bread, cookies, cakes, crackers, ice cream everyday and at every meal, you'll be fine.

For others who have healed but are not cured, even a serving of mashed potatoes could set you back on the path to type 2 diabetes and everything that entails.

Could be if you don't eat the crust.

But then it wouldn't be pizza. And sauce without added sugar and cheese is, imo, keto-friendly. I often make my kids veal or chicken parm and while I bread and fry their pieces, I pan fry mne, and put he cheese and sauce in sans breading.

I do love pizza. I will eat a slice again someday. It will be in New York. In the Bronx. Somewhere on Arthur Avenue or East 187th Street.

Though it may be at Pugsley's on E 191st Street.

I love pizza. I love the Bronx. I especially love pizza in the Bronx.

No was the Fage not too much sugar in that but where I did get it was the natural honey I used a tablespoon of

If I did cut out the honey, Popcorn (skinny pop) the whole wheat bread wraps and pasta

I would have been pretty low carb, They idea which was explained to me was to have high Fiber as Fiber is the most filling thing on the planet and was the key to losing weight

Bunch of bull, I left most meals feeling like I could have more

Right, if a pure plant based diet led to longevity, then why are Hindus close to the bottom on this study?:View attachment 5905

(Of course, Christians are only one step higher. Maybe they should quit putting donuts out in the foyer!)

Looks like Muslims need to eat more pork.

So the Greek yogurt was high in added sugar - its just that YOU added it in the form of honey. One tablespoon of honey is the equivalent of 4.25 teaspoons of sugar.

And yes, the high fiber myth ... Amazon product ASIN 0970679645

How can a deleted member "like" a post?

And why does the phrase "deleted member" make me want to reflexively cross my legs?

So much goes into these mortality studies that can't be captured by the data, e.g. I am sure infant mortality in a country like India where so many babies (61%) are born at home and possibly in highly unsanitary conditions. If a large percentage of people die as infants, that brings the whole society's average down.
