Anyone on a ketogenic diet whilst living here in Thailand?

According to a new study from the University of Toronto, low-carb diets may be linked to an increased risk of colon and colorectal cancers.

I'm experiencing memory issues / cognitive impairment for several years. 

 

Many doctors on youtube are recommending the ketogenic diet which comprises of cutting down on carbs and UPF ultral processed foods. No more bread, rice, potatoes. Sugar is not permitted. 

 

Eating fatty meat and seafood is recommended. Healthy fats eg avocados, nuts, oils. If I do this the liver produces ketones apparently. How will I know that I have succeeded. 

 

It seems the idea is to eat nutrient dense, low carb, foods. The lower carbs helps to stabilize the blood sugar. 

 

I used chatgbt for keto receipes and think that Im going to lose weight. 

 

If you have any suggestions or useful websites it would be appreciated. 

thanks

So the internet nonsense is working. Another one who believes (fake) doctors. Mate, look for proven science. 

Nobody needs that diet unless you're the promoter earning money with questionable advices.

I do Keto Intermittent Fasting. Just eat dinner. Trying to do a more intense fast so eating less.

 

Trying to avoid triggering insulin and increasing insulin resistance. Do take a day or two off when my wife is not working. Had frozen pizza the other day.

 

Chicken thighs, sardines, grass fed butter, leafy veggies, green beans. Keep under 20 carbs per day. 1/4 cup of walnuts. Extra virgin olive oil. A small steak. Eggs. Mixed nuts.

Adkins low carb is similar and I refer to their food list mostly: https://au.atkins.com/why-atkins/the-phases/

 

Trying to walk briskly for a period in the mornings, weather permitting.

Anybody else notice that there seems to be a high correlation between being a Keto-fan and being a MAGA fan?

Smart people stick together

Please watch this long video to the end and tell me if you still agree or disagree:

There are hundreds of videos on the keto diet improving memory / brain issues. The body burns fats rather than sugars. 

 

If you still have your head in the sand go and eat all your cakes, potatotoes, bread and fake carbs. Up to you

Dear mate, not necessary to write those offending lines.

Sure, you probably forgot my professional background.

But that's not so important for this case. 

Just think about that any "diet" will change the balance of your body's physiology. Do you need that? And the effect to remember 11 instead of 10 digits (joke) ....is it worth? 

There are indeed uncountable videos promoting any kind of diet and nutrition, but hardly any against by professional doctors. 

Why that? Because they don't need to sell their science in order to earn their living and get "likes" on YouTube or TikTok.

Btw, potatoes are not as bad as you think.

Good day.
