So if I eat more beef fat, I can continue to drink beer (carbs)?

Bacon grease helps too?

"Low-carb 'keto' diet ('Atkins-style') may modestly improve cognition in older adults" Actually, I try to degrade my cognition everyday at 5 pm when my bar opens...and then rebound the next day. 79 yesterday and so far so good!😎

No.

The first thing is losing weight. A high carb diet just means the body never burns any fat. Carbs get “burned” first, as they are basically sugar. It’s easier. And sugar is in everything. Even milk. Any excess to daily needs gets stored in the liver. When that’s full, it gets turned into fat cells.

Eating 3 high carb meals a day, snacking on chips, soda, beer, instant recipe for Obesity.

Ever notice you never, ever see any elderly people who are obese? They die young. Always.

The Ketones they talk about are what happens in the bloodstream when people fast for just a while, and cut back on carb calories. Also known as Ketosis. The body first burns up through the glycogen stored in the liver and then only starts burning fat. This is healthy and is shown to improve cognition and alertness and more energy.

It’s pretty strange to think that eating primarily a high fat diet causes people to lose weight, but it’s true.

Over a 100 years ago it was observed that the Eskimo stayed healthy and trim, until they adopted a high carb diet. Then it was Obesity and Diabetes.
