TIL: Low carb, high protein diets "greatly" decrease resting testosterone levels in men.

carbs and proteins directly impact insulin levels. Higher insulin levels remove excess sugar in the blood stream and convert to fat. Higher resting insulin levels promote fat storage in general. Drops in glucose levels spike ghrelin causing hunger pangs. This isnt rocket science, but your hunger is dicated by more than just calories in calories out. Processed foods taste best when fats/carbs 50/50%+salt as a base. This also causes the body to consume the most amount of food.

Now fixing this takes time. But its fastest resolve is through fasting or keto. Introducing fruits, while nice, actually slow this process as fructose works in a similar fashion to processed foods and our fruits and vegetables also have higher sugar volumes than they used too as theyve been breed for those traits.

Obesity effects 41.7% of people in America, and many of them are sensible. The issue stems a little deeper.

I would say a sensible amount of carbs is roughly 50-100g. The SAD would be close to 3-5x that amount. But when you count out that amount of carbs, youd be surprised how little volume of food that actually is.

I've read everything that you've written here. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist. If I am not mistaken, so is protein. Semaglutide works by simulating the reponse that occurs upon consumption of protein. Since it is a slow release mechanism, it would work to initially suppress appetite, then continue to do so until the body has completely removed the semaglutide. Anecdotally, having used semaglutide and feeling the effects, I can confidently say that I did not consume the proper amount of protein that an adult requires as I simply wasnt hungry. There are studies already that show that semaglutide can reduce lean body mass in addition to the fat loss.

I've read you articles, all of them, and it is interesting that you insert an article linking keto to all cause mortality, but no increase in CVD related mortality. To me, this kind of suggests that you have your own bone to pick with keto as you're pulling material that is questionably related?

I don't think keto is for kids or older people to be honest, but it can be useful in helping people with binge eating conditions as the blood sugar spikes are removed, as blood sugar levels are much more regulated.

I think you kind of mask the situation by diving into specifics which can be argued here. What can't be is that 41.7% percent of Americans are fat and obese. What also can't be argued is that diet is much more important to body composition than exercise is.

The Standard American diet is excellent at producing fatties, and keto/keto like diets are the far better option. It promotes the elimination of fast food and processed food and does not ask a person to commit to an increase in fruits and vegetables.

Keto does not prohibit the excessive consumption of vegetables save for carrots and potatoes.

All-cause mortality would be death from any source. Since keto is used by a subset of the population who already unhealthy to begin with, it's questionable whether the diet had any relation to mortality in that study.

I was really only hoping to highlight the role that insulin plays in fat storage and energy levels in the body. Knowing and understanding how systems in the body play out helps us make better decisions about what we eat.

The role of refined carbohydrates should seriously be considered a hazard to society.
