I got the idea that this IS why the OP was attempting to alter his eating habits. And frankly, unless one were involved in some competitive endeavor (racing, bodybuilding shows, etc.) why would health concerns ever be subordinated?

And 150g of carbs is not much at all
It's definitely enough to push someone into insulin resistance, which is most of what we should be attempting to avoid.

150g is not even close to enough to push an active individual into insulin resistance especially if it comes from lower GI sources.


As far as the rest of my post, I take it that you didn't read it. The health benifits gained from going Keto for 3-4 weeks then binging due to it not working with the OPs lifestyle are small.

Compare that to the health benifits of losing 40 lbs of fat while eating a diet that fits your lifestyle and doing a short term Keto diet is just stupid. Especially if you don't learn shite about food, how to read labels and how to track macros.

You and many other ketotards tend to think the only way to health is Keto and it's not even close to be true. It also provides the smallest metabolic advantage of the diets I listed. People have to do what works for them, low carb high fat is not the only way.

Now if you have read my other post in the last on what I recommend and what I do myself you would see I am anything but a Keto hater, quite the opposite. I almost always recommend that people go 4-6 week with zero sugar to break the addiction. I almost exclusively recommend the whole30 diet to those with problems involving the heart. I scream from the roof tops to those that have loved ones with cancer or have themselves that they should be on no carbs as cancer feeds exclusively on glucose.

I have also preached the undeniable metabolic effects of going on the rapid fatloss handbook version of a psmf and have screamed how great a true fat fast is for fat loss. But both of these are just scientific approaches to crash dieting and we have to understand they don't you good habits, how to truely read labels, or how to really track macros. And they also are unsustainable.

My point is people have to decide what works best and is sustainable for them. Not everyone has the will power that you or myself have and the last thing we want is for somebody to develop a disorder due to them thinking their are good and bad foods. And frankly for an overweight person that is not diabetic, losing fat in general is going to fix most of their insulin problems.

Keto is great and a solution for many but not all.
