Well...I've been into nutrition for a long while. I don't think there's a one-size fits all for everyone. Definitely our processed foods are poisoned. As a society we consume WAY too much sugar. And you don't need all these grains they try and shove down people's throats, or dairy every day (or even at all). Fasting definitely has its benefits...
But the thing is, everyone is beginning at a different starting point, and many have nutritional deficiencies they don't even KNOW they have.
For most, keto is a good way to kick-off into cleaner eating and entering a less inflammatory state, imho. However, I don't think it's necessary to maintain. I think once a person gets used to eating clean, they begin to understand their body more; like what kicks-off inflammation for YOU, and what you can tolerate while still enjoying and maintaining good energy, and weight.
Imho, it's really about trying out a few ways of eating that work for you - utilizing the tools we know are out there: intermittent fasting, keto or low carb, gluten-free and/or no dairy, not eating or at least really minimizing SOY/Corn and other GMOs, not eating artificial sweeteners, not eating and avoiding excito-toxins like MSG, etc.,not drinking your calories, avoiding sulfates, certain dyes, additives.
Trying to eat home-made meals as often as possible. Getting enough water and sleep.
If you can prioritize these things, you'll be really head and shoulders above the average American when it comes to health.
Yeah I don't disagree - I think it will benefit everyone. But a lot of folks don't like to eat that way, or won't really sustain it. Although I do know you adapt and get used to it. I guess I'm just trying to say that a person doesn't have to do hard-core keto to get healthy, although like you said, most would really benefit from it. Definitely.
I like Weston A. Price's information and his research. It's very elucidating. Also there's a great book called "Nourishing Traditions" which is very interesting - it gets into how foods were traditionally prepared, and how much of those traditions have been lost via "fast food." What's interesting, is how much of the prep. unlocks vitamins and minerals that aren't readily bio-available, but per these old traditions of prep, it chemically releases them and also renders for example, phytonutrients to be less harmful. It's a really interesting book.
