Not entirely sure what you mean by that, as almost everyone these days is using social media.
It gives a voice to everyone, even the loonies.
SM unfortunately amplifies the worst parts of human nature and society.

Intermittently is not the same as months, years, decades without pause though.Everyone enters ketosis every night unless they eat at midnight and get up at 4am to eat again and continue eating every few hours all day every day.
The only way to lose weight is through ketosis, thats exactly the process that pulls fat from storage to burn it, everyone who has ever lost weight has been in ketosis for a long enough period to burn that fat off. Every time you eat you stop and go in to the "fed" state. The keto diet, or intermittent fasting just seek to extend the amount of time that you spend in ketosis by limiting insulin response.
Historically, humans and hominids have not had food every single day and have had to go through periods of feast and fast (and up to 90% meat based), that used to be "normal". Like 4.5million years worth of history according to nitrogen isotope testing on bones.
What is the science behind this...I understand if a certain food makes people generally feel hungry, but because of an imposed calorie intake limit, the fact that you can't eat any more makes the entire process unbearable.When I was doing calorie restriction I started on 1500 calories and my weight loss quickly plateaued, I had to hit 1200 and then 1000 a day to keep losing weight - this was absolute hell as I would eat something with carbs, spike insulin, insulin would cause glucose to drop which would cause hunger but then I wasn't "allowed" to eat anything, it was a living hell which is why I gave up. When I was doing keto I could eat 1800-2000 calories every day and lose weight AND not be AT ALL hungry. What
Organisms natural reaction to reduced calories is lowering basal metabolic rate. I think mainly by creating less heat.What is the science behind this...

What I don't understand is that if you stick to a 1500 calorie diet that included carbs, your weight quickly plateaued, and yet if you change to a different food intake you can continually eat 2000 calories a day and lose weight.
Is it simply that more of the calories of a particular diet are not actually absorbed by the body and go straight out the other end ?, if not what is happening that allows a diet to increase calories that the body absorbs, and yet allows the body to lose weight ? Is it an implication that Keto just makes you body much more inefficient ?
Did you have to post this while I'm eating,lolSorry to interrupt but as a fellow carnivore I believe that a lot of this does come down to insulin resistance. From the information I have seen a lot of it comes down to not all calories are created equal. Protein and fat from animal sources are also far more nutritionally dense and it is by far more bio available to us.
I know of someone who is now carnivore who had his colon removed after being a vegan. He physically sees what comes out the other end and has experimented with this. As a carnivore, not only is the amount of waste drastically reduced there's never anything even remotely undigested. Where as he can physically see things he's eaten when he's added plant matter etc

You may say organism becomes more efficient, but for weight loss its a negative
Especially coupled with the other natural reaction - increased constant craving for more food
No thought for more delicate stomachsYes...

protein causes an insulin "bump", it kicks you out of ketosis, even doing a keto type diet you should be consuming enough protein more or less every day to take you out of ketosis for many hours, no one is "in ketosis" for months years or decades, there was that one guy Angus Barbieri who was under doctors care and did a 1 year fast, but that isn't what is recommended for most people, you are literally arguin over whether its better to be in ketosis for 12 hours a day or 14-20 hours a day, its basically nothingIntermittently is not the same as months, years, decades without pause though.
I've acutally explained all of this to you and this is a gross misrepresentation of what I saidI have noticed that people who are on Keto don't mention the calories they consume on here and since they naturally eat less...I suspect they just consume fewer calories as a result anyway as protein is a hunger suppressant. The picture they paint in the last week is that they can eat a whole cow and don't get fat. In reality that isn't true.
Say if you normally have a Sunday roast, now you just eat the roast on its own....that by default is fewer calories. So naturally they are eating fewer calories.
Then, I've seen a few people here mention they fast whilst on keto...if I were on keto and losing weight consistently, or maintaining my ideal weight on it...Why on earth would I fast? (In before you go....Ramadan or I am David Blaine!) The answer is that they put on weight whilst on keto...They don't mention this, but read between the lines you can see that is what is happening. Keto isn't working, so just stop eating to lose more weight.
A point I added onto my prior post is that a world with increasing population and decreasing food sources which also has 1/2 of its population overweight, probably will not find it's answer by following a diet that requires more calorie intake
I can see where you're coming from, however the stats don't suggest we are suffering from a lack of calories worldwide as we are on track for a 51% obese world by 2035 (and the stats for all the most populous countries/land masses puts it about 60% overweight already)
I've said this several times already, I'm not trying to cure the world of obesity, I have seen several people on here comment they struggle with being overweight / health / lack of excercise and so I only started to comment because I've fixed all these issues for myself, so on an individual basis this info might help, or it might not, I'm not the boss of the world
Indeed, that point was tangental. I appreciate your info and you've help me understand something that I couldn't see the logic in. I hadn't actually consider the notion or benefits of the body being inefficient in dealing with certain forms of calories.I can see where you're coming from, however the stats don't suggest we are suffering from a lack of calories worldwide as we are on track for a 51% obese world by 2035 (and the stats for all the most populous countries/land masses puts it about 60% overweight already)

There's a reason why carnivore and keto is gaining popularity, because those of us who have been desperate enough to give it a try are sharing our experiences. It might fly in the face of conventional wisdom but our personal experiences are entirely valid and research and scientific studies are coming for carnivore just like keto. Can't find the link right now but there was a study on keto for alzheimers that was found to be vastly better at treating it than any medication on the market.
I know people will say, yeah that's what the vegans say, and they're right. Removing processed crap from your diet is going to be better for you buy the difference between vegans and carnivores is that they need to supplement. We don't.
I've acutally explained all of this to you and this is a gross misrepresentation of what I said
I'm 69kg now, but I lost a lot of muscle tone doing calorie restriction so I'm actively lifting weights etc trying to re-tone - to do so I need to eat 200g+ of protein or I get fatigued, I don't lose weight but I also don't gain any fat % (scales with fat % built in)
I do however still have "a belly" which I would like to continue to trim down, according to the scales I'm about 18% body fat which is still too high (and these scales are a bit notorious for being wrong on the low sid)
I've fallen in to an eating patern that works for me because I'm actively trying to gain weight (muscle) whilst continuing to lose fat - bulk and cut or even lean bulk are common "mainstream" eating patterns, even the 5:2 diet has a lot of credible people supporting it and I'm just doing a variation on those
Fasting also has a load of other benefits like autophagy (which helps with saggy skin which is a pretty big deal when you are losing as much weight as someone like me), and it raises growth hormone so you can capitalise on this by excercising fasted and then having a big protein rich meal
I've also walked you through the reasons why eating a low carb diet with more calories = less drop in BMR (which there is loads of data on BMR dropping on calorie restriction and the need to do refeeds and so on, just google it mate)
I'm not actually "doing keto" as a weight loss diet, I am a carnivore, I eat mostly meat because its the healthiest way of eating for me (based on extensive experimentation on myself), but my diet isn't trying to be "ketogenic"
