Redpill me on keto, /fit/. Are carbs literally Hitler(for cutting and in general)?

Keto is dumb. Eat at least 1g/lb protein, 0.5g/lb fat (fats are really good, eat salmon and avocados and distribute the rest as you wish, eat some carbs for energy and test though

Keto's a meme, carbs are fine as long as you aren't overdoing it, like anything else. You should be switching over to mostly whole grain anyway. An increase in fat and protein in your diet can increase satiety and make it easier to cut, as you will feel less hungry.
The only reason to drastically reduce carbs during a cut is if you're trying to get underskin water down to level zero because you're about to step on stage.

1g/lb protein is a meme
Eat moderate carbs and fats (they are interchangeable)
0.82g/lb protein has tons of science backing it for strength athletes

1g covers incomplete/low bv protein like broccoli

Well I've never really looked into bioavailability but I'm assuming less than 10% of your protein comes from vegetables, considering you'd have to eat absurd of vegetables for protein numbers that would make a difference.

About 1/3 of my protein comes from stuff like beans, veggies, oats etc
Spinach and broccoli have quite a lot of protein

how is keto dumb? doesn't the body convert its fats into ketones for energy? shouldn't you lose only fat on it?
Anyone tried keto to maintain or even gain weight?
I'm interested in trying keto just to see how I'd feel.

You could lose just as much weight without going out of your way to avoid carbs, which are in most things
Carbs aren't bad for you. They fuel your body and its processes. Most healthy foods have some carbs. Just make sure you eat plenty of fat too
>>36752408
It's sugar, specifically, that is literally Hitler. Other carbs that aren't sugar are okay. But if you're fat then you're too stupid to know the difference. (Not insulting you, just being real, I was in the same boat six months ago and keto did help me.)
What keto really does for you is breaks your sugar addiction and teaches you how to eat.

This
>be fat
>do iifym
>lose weight, but hungry all the time
>do keto at same calorie limit
>lose weight at same rate (after losing water weight) but not hungry after first week
Only probs I have with keto is cooking from scratch is a pain in the ass and you can basically never eat out or you really pay for it.

The only good carb is the indigestible kind, dietary fiber.
>>36752458
you need fats for test not carbs dumbass
>>36753574
probably be possible with more fats in your diet which isn't as a bad a thing it's been made out to be provided you don't eat too much obviously

Diets with a low carb-to-protein ratio are associated with lower test. Low carb can also increase cortisol, which isn't good for test
