These guys have no idea what they are talking about lol. We don’t need grains (yes I like beer and know it’s poison). Outside of my poison of choice I never eat grains and am completely fine high T, good blood work and all. I only eat meat, animal fat, dairy and organic produce.
Yeah there's a reason you don't find jacked dudes doing those diets long term, they're always scrawny while buff dudes still eat carbs. If keto/carnie was better for muscle then every weightlifter and bodybuilder would have been doing it for decades already.
Also, only group of people that are traditionally keto are eskimos. In spite of having adaptations to that type of diet they are not known to be centenarians.
Yeah and people try to tell nonsense like "ketones are the body's preferred energy source" okay so why does the body only use it when all carbs have been exhausted? That right there defines it as emergency fuel. Also why do muscles store glucose inside of them instead of ketones as well (and it's one-way, muscles can't release the glucose they absorb they have to burn it off)?

Because the body cannot tolerate high levels of blood sugar.
The sugar must be dealt with, which is done by (a) transporting to the cells to "burn" as fuel, and if there is too much, then next (b) storing some as glycogen in the liver and muscles, and finally, if still too much (c) converting excess to bodyfat and storing in the fat cells.
Regardless, the body wants that sugar OUT of the blood.
Excess amino acids from protein consumption are simply excreted in the urine.
Excess fatty acids from fat consumption are converted to ketones to either be used as fuel for the body, or excreted in the urine or breathed out through the lungs.
Extra protein and fat are "free" in that they cause no harm to the body and are simply discarded.
But extra carbs are stored as bodyfat.
Carbs also cause a jacking up of insulin, which is the cause of inflammaion.
This combination of excess bodyfat and inflammation are the primary causes of poor health and death today.
So, carbs are damaging to the body.
Carbs also produce "Advanced Glycation End-Products" (AGE's) which age the body by "gluing together" proteins of the body. This comes mostly from fruit, but all carbs contribute to advanced body deterioration as we age.
Exactly brother. Meat and animal fat is real food. Honey and fruit for glucose for the muscles. I still eat vegetables at times but I have cut out all grains except my beloved Friday night beers.
Keto and or carnivore will tank your testosterone due to lack of glucose. Stress hormones are released to convert fats into glucose.
This is wrong.

Except our grains are poison. You can live without them.

The super jacked dudes are on a lot of drugs to pump those muscles up, artificially.
Insulin injection is the big one these days.
Insulin injection cause a massive reduction in blood glucose, and can induce death.
So, they have to load up on carbs to offset the extra insulin.
That's why those guys eat a lot of carbs.
Carbs do not build muscle. But they can keep you from dying if you are loading up on drugs.
Lmfao. Dr Shawn Baker.
Yeah. Eats only meat, and sets world records in rowing, plus is a strong mofo in power lifting.
Real "scrawny" guy.
LOL.
OTOH, John McDougall, a mult-decade doctor who pushes veganism, looks like a walking skeleton and acts like a lunatic.
Exactly brother. Meat and animal fat is real food. Honey and fruit for glucose for the muscles. I still eat vegetables at times but I have cut out all grains except my beloved Friday night beers.
Keto also takes disgusting.
I tried Keto cereal, threw the whole thing away after 1 bite.
Well you at cereal which is unnatural and disgusting in the first place. Why not bacon with some fruit?
I personally think bacon is over-rated.
At least until I had Apple Wood Smoked Bacon; that was like candy.
The my coworker told me about Maple Bacon, I haven’t tried that yet.
Thats a chemical concoction similiar to vegetarian meat products. Fake as fuck. Keto is like steak fried in butter and a load of cheesy broccoli.
That sounds tasty ngl.
Yeah, except that broccoli tastes nasty, which is why you have to put something on it -- to hide the taste.
It also produces cyanide when you bite it, which is why it tastes bad.
That’s a total lie.
