I am a FM doctor of 20 years, now practicing Obesity medicine since 2017. I teach and follow a Low Carb, High Fat (#LCHD) lifestyle along with fasting.
@TheRadDr_@bigfatsurprise Yes. Quantity makes the poison. Fat fear comes from bad science and govt recommendations. It is primarily the carbs causing the obesity.
And why be so rude about her PhD? Don’t be such an a$$.
@rf121rf@bigfatsurprise Wrong. It is likely the excessive sugar (carbs) that the body converts to fat that gets stored as fat that causes much of the obesity. If you don’t eat sugar, you use fat as your primary fuel source and then eating fat provides the fuel you need while also providing satiety.
I believe in the power of nutrition like Dr Palmer mentions. I promote health, wellness , and weight loss through nutrition. We have medicine that can help, but use food first and foremost.
When people hear “diet,” they often think of wellness influencers. When they hear "cure," they're even more skeptical.
Ketogenic therapies are not a wellness trend. They are medical interventions that alter core biology, including mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter activity, insulin signaling, inflammation, the gut microbiome, and brain energy metabolism.
The ketogenic diet has long been established as an effective treatment for epilepsy, capable of stopping seizures even when medications fail.
A growing body of research suggests that ketogenic therapies may also benefit some individuals with serious mental illnesses, including depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia—sometimes resulting in sustained remission of symptoms.
I personally do not describe this as a “cure”; the word "remission" is fine with me.
For those who achieve remission after years of suffering, it can feel like nothing short of a miracle—regardless of the underlying mechanism.
Let's work together to reduce the suffering and improve the lives of people living with mental illness.
