Diets high in fat greatly increase the fat in you body. To be in a state of ketosis is to be in a diseased state. It may cause you to lose weight but it is at the risk of clogged arteries and diabetes. Read Neal Barnard’s Reversing Diabetes. McDougall, Essylstein, Campbell, Ornish etc these men are all MDs. What are you?
“Diets high in fat greatly increase the fat in you body.”
That is a grotesquely false statement according to the physicians and the medical studies they have presented in this series of video presentations. On the contrary, they describe how eating a high fat diet in the absence of excessive carbohydrates removes fat from the body.
“To be in a state of ketosis is to be in a diseased state.”
That is yet another grotesquely false statement as evidenced in the presentations by the medical professionals, their recovered patients, and by members of FreeRepublic with years of experience to the contrary.
“It may cause you to lose weight but it is at the risk of clogged arteries and diabetes.”
Such another grotesquely false statement evidences that you either did not bother to study the videos, read their books, and/or are in denial about their information and methods. Try refuting all of the medical histories with evidence to the contrary, including the personal experiences of many people right here on FreeRepublic.
“Read Neal Barnard’s Reversing Diabetes. McDougall, Essylstein, Campbell, Ornish etc these men are all MDs. What are you?”
Been there, done that. One of the physicians who highly recommends a ketogenic diet as a treatment for obesity and diabetes is the same physician who brought Ornish to the Swedish Hospital in Seattle and subsequently dismissed his diet as not recommended, to put it more politely.
While I believe SOME people can eat carbs...I starve when I eat them...and my body was heading to diabetes...on a Caveman type diet I am the healthiest ever...and I’m 64. And my cholesterol labs prove it (NOT TOTAL CHOLESTEROL. ..MY RATIOS). Also...my body fat level is lower than when I was 30 years old.

I’ve heard it said that Barnard is a shrink, not a MD. Then again, he’s a militant animal-rights type who’s organization, the PCRM, has ties to PETA, if I’m not mistaken. Devil’s advocate, how do you know that at least some of those people may not be motivated by some agenda?
