Americans are so oblivious to the basics of health and nutrition that they actually believe potatoes, bread and pasta make you fat and give you diabetes, while steak, bacon, whole milk, eggs and oil should be included as major components in any balanced diet. Why do you think keto and GI fuckery are so popular there? And yes, the US is full of fat fucks who think carbs make you fat, potatoes make you fat. Potato consumption has decreased massively in the past couple decades because a couple retards managed to convince all these fat fucks that potatoes are unhealthy.
You actually have to design a dedicated study to make Americans understand that foods that people have been eating as staples and major calories sources for tens of thousands of years are not the cause of massive increases in diabetes and heart disease in the past 50 years.

Smart carbs aren't that bad, actually, but many people eat carbohydrates in excess.

I mean, it sort of is. The difference between recent history and before that is there is more food than ever, it's cheaper than ever, people are less active than ever, and certain agricultural business interests have more influence over what the government teaches and spends money on than ever.

The reasons why those foods are staples in the first place is that they're calorie dense and easy (or at least easier than other foods) to grow in the regions they're staples.
When I was in school in the 80's, the government was still telling adults that they should be having 3000+ calories a day... a number they arrived at 50 years earlier based on a lifestyle that just isn't possible anymore.
I'm not a keto/paleo idiot, I just don't think it's wrong to tell people that they shouldn't eat like pre-industrial farmers anymore.
There is nothing wrong with eating pasta. That article is likely taking data from people who are able to maintain the lower weight by portioning their intake of pasta/carbs over people who outright try to restrict/avoid them and then fail, get lazy, or grossly underestimate their "cheat days".
Gif related is apparently the "perfect" portion of pasta, about the size of a baseball.

Technically bullets kill people.

Well, if you had the tenacity you could theoretically pistol whip someone to death
>>7851579
technically exsanguination and/or trauma leading to organ failure kills people
I'm on a keto diet. Just thought you'd like to know.
The reason why people do it is because it's easy and it works.
>Why don't you just eat less?
We do eat less, that's how weight loss diets work. On a keto diet you eat foods that make you feel full so that you are less hungry.
So you eat less.
So you burn more than you consume.
So you lose weight.
I don't understand WHAT you don't understand about it. Did someone on keto beat you up in high school?

keto is a meme diet for nu-males who like le epic bacon
>>7851396
Then eat less guns, have some self control man.
