Carbohydrates are your body's main fuel source. During digestion, sugars and starches are broken down into simple sugars. They're then absorbed into your bloodstream, where they're known as blood sugar (blood glucose).From there, glucose enters your body's cells with the help of insulin. Glucose is used by your body for energy, and fuels all of your activities — whether it's going for a jog or simply breathing. Extra glucose is stored in your liver, muscles and other cells for later use, or is converted to fat.

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalkhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/carbohydrates/art-20045705/in-depth/art-20045705That's exactly what I'm talking about. That's completely wrong information. In my opinion. But for a person who exercises regularly and especially if they're relatively young, then eating a high carb diet is fine. But a low carb, high fat diet would probably still be better.

From your mayo clinic article QuoteCarbohydrates are your body's main fuel source. During digestion, sugars and starches are broken down into simple sugars. They're then absorbed into your bloodstream, where they're known as blood sugar (blood glucose).From there, glucose enters your body's cells with the help of insulin. Glucose is used by your body for energy, and fuels all of your activities — whether it's going for a jog or simply breathing. Extra glucose is stored in your liver, muscles and other cells for later use, or is converted to fat.If you have insulin resistance this can create a cascading carb intake problem, since insulin unlocks a cell for glucose uptake, but is resistant to insulin, that glocose floats around unused, your pancreas creates more and more insulin to combat it, and your kidneys start dumping it, and you end up drinking more water. Your on your way to diabetes. So keto limits glucose in your blood, and fasting depletes it from your liver where it's stored. Over time your cells can reset insulin sensitivity, which means you need less insulin for your cells to take in glucose. That's my main goal with this. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Just the fact that they're recommending that people eat fruit makes everything else they say suspect. Fruit is nothing but sugar, which our bodies don't need. Another one is milk. Especially reduced fat milk. It's the same as drinking sugar. There's tons of bad information out there, from sources that you would think should be reliable.

"A diet rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar, which can help keep appetite in check. Eating non-starchy vegetables and fruits like apples, pears, and green leafy vegetables may even promote weight loss. [1] Their low glycemic loads prevent blood sugar spikes that can increase hunger."https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/vegetables-and-fruits/
Like I said, there's tons of misinformation out there. Just try a keto diet for 6 weeks. Then you'll know if it's right for you or not. It's easy to do. No fruit, no milk, no fruit juice, no pasta, no bread, no rice, no potatoes. That about covers it. Oh, almost forgot, absolutely no sugar. Try it.
Eating the Keto diet lowers your bodies PH and increases levels of uric acid and other compounds. Never do Keto if you have gout! It also increases your chance of diabetes and kidney failure.I'm not a doctor but I've played one in my younger years with some gals..

Yes, the American Heart Association gives terrible advice. So does our federal government. Which is why they're feeding kids in our schools a very unhealthy, high carb and high processed food diet. Another one is the American Diabetes Association. They also give people the wrong advice. Then look at doctors- putting their type 2 diabetes patients on insulin or other medication and only making the problem get progressively worse over time, when all these people need to do is change their diet and reverse the diabetes.

A keto diet is how you reverse diabetes.

Tons of respected and established medical establishments are all full of misinformation that you are positive is false yet the links and books you supply are gospel? Are you seeing the hypocrisy of this?
