This is false, they are using keto to try and help autistic kids with some success. They are reversing diabetes and alzheimers in some cases. Regardless of all that i am enough proof for myself. Years and years of terrible stomach issues are now a distant memory and that makes it beyond worth it to me.
Who is “they” and what does “some success” mean? And if there even is a study for it, does it depict how the Keto diet is better for the disease than the other low carb fasting diet options? The only fully backed and published scientific studies and journals for Ketogenic diet are using obese people, and mice.
Ha! Yeah, I appreciate the guy's passion, but there is more to it than reading somebody's paper on studying a fat mouse. I had years of gut problems that went away after keto, so like you, I actually have personal experience to go off of. I feel great and I'm very happy with it, so until something changes, I'm keeping on with it.
My point was, which was obviously missed, is that it’s not the Keto diet directly. It’s the fasting state it gets you in, and the small amounts of carbs you eat. Being vegan, pescatarian, vegetarian, and all other diets (pretty much, but not all) can reap the same benefits if you eat the proper amount of nutrition for your body at the correct times. Pretty sure there are more vegetarian and vegan body builders than there are carnivorous body builders.
keto has been a thing forever, studies have tried to been done, and have been done. But don’t succeed

Here's the funny thing: There is a lot of info out there, books, youtube videos, etc. I personally dug into Paleo and Keto pretty hard. A lot of it makes great sense to me and quite a bit is written by doctors and people with reliable credentials. Even with that, there is always a flip side with someone with credentials debunking and promoting something different. Even on a simple thread like this, people will troll and have negative things to say. The funny thing is that when I ate crap food, processed food, and drank cokes, etc, nobody trolls and says how bad that is. People eating twinkies and tons of junk food and getting diabetes rarely has anyone challenge that decision, but tell people you drop carbs and go heavy on protein and fat, and you get hammered. Basically, I just did my own research and then tried it. I had gut issues that fasting and keto stopped. I gradually started adding a few non-keto things to keto and eventually I was able to figure out most things that bother me and I ended up with a hybrid of keto that is working great. There is great info out there and over time you should be able to make an educated decision that is right for you...not everyone else.

I read this book and got a lot of great info concerning food in general. One section was talking about how beans have a membrane that cant be digested and is used as protection...an animal eats the bean and it passes thru instead of being digested. we eat the bean and membrane and have gut issues because of it. just good info to get a better understanding of what we eat and how our bodies interact with food.
