When humans moved from a hunter gatherer existence to an agricultural existence it enabled the population to grow because of a constant food source, but that population wasn't necessarily more healthy.

Nobody has mentioned the very northern people who live almost entirely on meat and animal fat. Or the people that live at high altitudes on yak butter, meat and milk. Some of them are long lived indeed.

Also nobody is mentioning beriberi or rickets, common conditions due to vitamin deficiencies. Beriberi prevalent in Asian societies from - white rice. 


Here's your "healthy Asian diet"

"In the late 19th century, beriberi was studied by Takaki Kanehiro, a British-trained Japanese medical doctor of the Japanese Navy.[url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beriberi#cite_note-Kanehiro-26][26][/url]Beriberi was a serious problem in the Japanese navy: sailors fell ill an average of four times a year in the period 1878 to 1881, and 35% were cases of beriberi.[url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beriberi#cite_note-Kanehiro-26][26][/url] In 1883, Kanehiro learned of a very high incidence of beriberi among cadets on a training mission from Japan to Hawaii, via New Zealand and South America. The voyage lasted more than 9 months and resulted in 169 cases of sickness and 25 deaths on a ship of 376 men. With the support of the Japanese Navy, he conducted an experiment in which another ship was deployed on the same route, except that its crew was fed a diet of meat, fish, barley, rice, and beans. At the end of the voyage, this crew had only 14 cases of beriberi and no deaths. This convinced Kanehiro and the Japanese Navy that diet was the cause.[url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beriberi#cite_note-Kanehiro-26][26][/url] In 1884, Kanehiro observed that beriberi was endemic among low-ranking crew who were often provided free rice and thus ate little else, but not among crews of Western navies and nor among Japanese officers who consumed a more varied diet."

The pathway I listed above seems correct.  NEFAs lead to insulin resistance which would lead to hyperinsulinemia.

You should probably need to know this if you have type 2.

The Greeks mention baked bread products as far back as A.D.170.

Actually we don't live much (if any) longer now than we did a thousand years ago.
The difference in "life expectancy" between now and then is primarily due to infant and child mortality rates dropping significantly, there's also the dirty little secret of high infanticide rates (post-birth abortion so to speak) that our ancestors practiced pretty regularly.
If we factored in current abortion rates to modern life expectancy numbers we'd be right back to averaging what we were a thousand years ago.
Once humans made it to 10 years old or so we've always had a good run of it up into our 80's to 100 or so.
View Quote
This fact should be more widely known. 

Another factor in lowered life expectancy was death from war. Apparently war was a brutal bloodbath with mindboggling casualties - all before the invention of the gun.

Carbs were the base of this pyramid, sending the message to eat all you want. And Americans did, gobbling up refined grains and processed snacks like SnackWell cookies — that staple of the low-fat craze — in their quest to avoid the dreaded dietary fat.We know now that "carbohydrates worsen glucose and insulin — they have negative effects on blood cholesterol levels," as Dariush Mozaffarian, dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, told us back in 2014. In other words, he told us, replacing saturated fats with refined carbs "has not been useful advice."

I'm on week 8 of low carb. I never got the carb flu, but I did get some pretty bad diareah in the beginning. It did go away.

There are pros and cons of the diet...

Pros:
Not hungry
No bloating
A lot of energy
Can go pretty much the whole day without eating, I have to remind myself to eat.
Down 35 pounds in 8 weeks.

Cons:
It's incredibly boring. I no longer enjoy eating.

And it's not an opinion piece. It's never an opinion piece when a Doctor publishes a piece in his field, not to mention all the sources cited.

Keto diets were created for people with epilepsy. People jumped on board and it became a fad diet. There's no reason to do it unless you are a natural with very very low body fat and you are trying to get as lean as possible. Sub 10%. It's not viable. It's counter culture. It's like those vegan retards that eat nothing but carbs except not as bad because af least protein and fat are essential.

We ketards are all N=1.  An army of personal experience.  I changed my life-- and it wasn't about the 27 pounds I lost.  My brain changed.  My fitness improved.

If you truly try it, for several months, and it doesn't work for you, then it's your loss.  We won't call you a tard.

But ketosis is a natural state for humans, at least those with some vestiges of a normal metabolic system.  The only tards are those calling others tards, after storming into these threads and calling BS on thousands of studies and millions of individuals for whom it works.

Vegetables are a huge part of the keto diet.  You just have to be careful with them at the beginning, when you first transition into ketosis.

Carrots and tomatoes add up fast on the carb side.  This is okay once you're adapted.  But it's hard to eat too much leafy dark greens.

As long as it's "healthy fat" which is not what we've been told for 100 or so years.

And humans ate meat from animals that grazed on grass so the fatty acid makeup of that meat was a little different. 

In other regions they ate whale and seal blubber. Whales eat krill. 

Keto food doesn't have to be boring. A salad with some grated cheese with stuff like marinated artichoke hearts slathered in avacodo oil is filling and delicious.

The cauliflower crust pizza seems to get good reviews as well.

Read Gary Taubes' Why We Get Fat And What To Do About It.  We metabolize carbs differently than fats.  High cholesterol and triglycerides come from carbs, not from fat.  I've seen my numbers drop through the floor when I go low carb.  My problem is that it's hard for me to stick with it long term.  As the saying goes, "eat liberally of meat, fish, fowl and fat", and have lots of leafy green vegetables.  My sister calls it the Nothing White diet: lay off the flour, sugar, rice, pasta, potatoes, etc.  It works.  And no, calories in do not necessarily equal calories out.

OP needs to vary his diet, and lay off the Gatorade and diet soda.

That might be the most interesting part.  I went low carb years ago.  Not for weight loss but for better health.  First off I got a lot leaner and it was in decent shape to start.  I was also able to resume running on pavement as several inflammation related injuries disappeared.  

Things like bread and pasta aren't even interesting to me anymore.  I take the bread off sandwiches.  All the breads and pastas are the same to me; big doughy wads with no real flavor, texture, or nutrition.  I like a little ice cream now an then and maybe treats like potato chips and stuff.  But the whole "staple" thing of starches has just gone away as a concept.  Paleo food is so full of flavor and texture and nutrients that after a few years it's all you want.  The body remembers.

If it has not yet been posted, get some broth made from bones, add salt, simmer it after browning said bones (simmer quite a long time IMO).  Add pepper if you want, goal is to make a broth that is salty.   Then you can freeze it or do what you will with said broth, then when you heat it up add dark leafy vegetables, and or eggs if that's your thing- eggs and avocados do not disgest so well so take care. Nothing like having a stomach on top of everything else.  

Perhaps a pickle juice would help but you would have to look at the ingredients, even sauerkraut juice or sauerkraut added into the broth.   Just check the ingredients, it is normal to shit a lot do to lack of fibrous vegetables, it takes awhile to get used to it IE about a  week or so.

All this argument over two different diets for different goals. Yes carbs can be beneficial to an athlete/weight lifter who isn't looking to drop weight. Keto is for dropping weight without muscle loss. Fad? I did my first keto cut in 1999.

How is it "bullshit" that we have evidence of bread making going back at least 2100 years?

They are all super thin of course so they therefore think it's the best option.

Is there a time frame to flush out the carbs from your system?

BEWARE! Everyone that I know who has lost weight RAPIDLY with lo-carb diets has lost their gallbladder. Mine had no stones, but it just stopped working. My wife had hers out. My aunt had hers out. My dad had his out. Even Dr Nowazardian or however you spell his name on 600 lb life said this can happen with rapid weight loss. Many people might think this is BS, but it really makes sense.

I'm on the lowish carb diet I think permanently now. Mostly what I eat is BBQ (pork or chicken), Del Taco grilled chicken tacos re-loaded into a carb balance tortilla or some sort of chicken wraps. Maybe once a week, I have a day where I eat something with more carbs. I like being able to wear my 2x shirts and 42 pants. 6'1" 275 now. Highest I ever weighed was 317 and that was probably 10 years ago. It's not too hard to keep up this way of eating. Just try to stay under 50-75 carbs per day. I get more exercise at work now too since I am no longer chained to a desk.

You may have overdone it. As already stated, you could be suffering from low blood sugar. Have a spoon full of peanut butter. If it helps, you are running on empty.
What is your goal? If you want to lose weight, we are doing very well keeping it under 40 mg/day. Do you cook? Lots of great recipes and ideas on the interwebs. Make sure to get enough fats, and don't skimp on portions. No need to go designer either, just eat the good stuff, no low fat, low cal, low taste, low nothing. They are usually full of sugar anyway.  How did your grandparents (or maybe great-grandparents) eat? You may look in to that.
I would suggest looking up some guidelines on this, you can hurt yourself if done recklessly.

You want me to replace all the bacon cheeseburgers and pizza I live on with potatoes. Lol no.
Now you go ahead and get 100 carbs a day all from green veggies and get back to me

They serve the terriyaki as a dipping sauce.
Needless to say, I didn't dip my meat in that sweet, delicious sauce.

LOL. Well, since you think that I guess it's settled. Boys, we can all hang it up and start eating candy bars since sugar is the body's preferred energy source. Don't believe me? FreeFloater, our resident expert, says so.

What are you...9 years old?

We've demonstrated that the body will burn sugar before fat.  How can anyone defend the notion that the body prefers to burn fat?  It clearly prefers to burn sugar.  It was offered that burning sugar is the easy (lazy) way out.  The body seems to prefer the easy way out.  Again...there's nothing you've presented so far to contradict this.
