    You're nuts. Good luck.

    Likewise.

    Just before you go point out all the people who are fat from carbs, fat and protein versus all the people who are fat from eating mostly fat and protein?

    Got you, rules of physiology only matter when you are not overweight. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Tell someone fat that the key to you losing weight is ASP or the key is limiting carbs. Now which advice might work?

    So there are no overweight groups of people anywhere ever who lived mostly on fat and protein and limited carbs.

    There are millions of overweight people who eat carbs, fat and protein who often try to control their weight through calorie restriction. Invariably they fail.



    So what makes people fat?

    Name a modern day culture who has a HFLC diet out of interest? Not particular individuals who are actively trying to improve there general weight/ well being, simply a culture who do this to show that this one variable can be isolated to be the definitive evidence to your claims.

    Unfortunately very few if any at all groups of people eating mostly fat and protein anymore as processed carbs are everywhere since the 1960s and 1970s.

    So data from 2004 not relevant yet the basis of your theories is "traditional diets" and anecdotal evidence (see your post here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=91520235&postcount=213) is.

    You use the Masai and Inuits to support your claims yet they aren't relevant given that they don't actually adhere to your parameters as a modern day example.

    You ask people to name groups who have gotten fat from HFLC diets yet you can't actually name a group that adhere's to it.

    I am going to leave you with one bit of wisdom that seems to have eluded you, correlation does not equal causation. This fact may actually save you thousand's if you ever learn it.

    Oh dear!

    No it's not relevant. Read again very carefully this time.

    The point I'm making but is lost on you is that any group of people who have ever eaten mostly fat and protein have never been overweight.


    When processed carbs introduced evidence shows they gained weight.

    Absence of carbs in these groups results in no overweight or obese people.

    There is no evidence of any group of people living on fat and protein that got fat ever throughout history.

    There's correlation and causation for you.

    Obesity is nothing new it's been around a hell of alot longer than processed carbs

    My point was less labour instenive food sources, improved transport, more sedentary lifestyles etc are all influencing factors which make your point mute because you refuse to take them into consideration.

    You could easily replace locomotion with processed carbs in your theory and come to the same conclusion regarding their impact on diet.

    You keep proving my point. Thanks. The first grains were farmed about 12,000 years ago in Egypt. They exhibited the first signs of poor health and weight problems. Common factor again - grains are a high carbohydrate food source. Conclusion - introduction of carbs led to health and weight issues.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭Essien


    10 year old data is redundant.

    12000 year old data is fine though.

    This has been a master class in trolling, you couldn't make it up.

    Except the link I put up first was in reference to Europe (Greece) where processed carbs were introduced much later despite the fact that obesity was already a major problem in Greece reported 300-400 years prior to the introduction of grains such as rye and wheat.

    Also Neolithic figureans had been found around Europe prior to Classical expansion depicting swollen belly's and large buttocks

    http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=W8VRCTE88DkC&pg=PA162&lpg=PA162&dq=neolithic+figurines+%2B+swollen+belly&source=bl&ots=XlMlTSpCyi&sig=FsvhB32AP6mLyfjIx1iCVXDTu2c&hl=en&sa=X&ei=oLncU6_bAuqS7AaY6oH4BQ&ved=0CDkQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=neolithic%20figurines%20%2B%20swollen%20belly&f=false

    Your point just proves you only see what you wanna see so there is no point in me making a logical argument.

    I applaud your trolling it had me hooked for quite some time but like all great things it must come to an end.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,697 ✭✭✭MaceFace


    Folks, there is no reasoning with this guy. It's black and white to him - eat carbs and you get fat. Don't and you lose weight.

    Feel free to have a 12 egg omelet for breakfast, hell, another for snack, a 3 lb steak for lunch, 10 whole roast chickens for dinner. If you fancy a snack after that, have a couple of kilos of salmon. Dessert - a kilo of cream.

    And don't worry, you will lose weight!!!

    And the best thing of all is that all those scientists and doctors are keeping this secret because they are in cahoots with the big food producers who have us hooked on those evil carbs.

    Sometimes there is just no reasoning.

    Physically impossible for the average overweight person to eat that. Ridiculous scenario.

    Google appestat, fat, satiation and you might begin to understand where I'm coming from.

    Data taken in 2004 when diet changed drastically to include carbs. Are you taking the p**s or are you just unable to process what I'm saying.

    Simple reason for that. They ate a lot of honey and possibly lots of fruit. High in sugar = too many carbs. They got fat.

    It's not relevant because they don't eat hflc anymore. There are probably no people left who live mostly on fat and protein but when there was there is lots if evidence that they never got fat. Limited sugar no grains = never got fat.

    Read more carefully.

    To clarify again. This way of eating is near non-existent any more due to the influx of processed carbohydrates everywhere.

    We can only go on past evidence of traditional diets. When we do there is no evidence of weight issues.

    You have no evidence otherwise either.

    I could name x,y and z introduced in the last 50 years and say they cause weight gain, doen't make it true by simple correlation (especially when you ignore how the human body works)

    You could and it would be correct because anything introduced in last 50 years is processed crap so most likely this would show a contribution to weight gain.

    Okay we are starting to get into logic 101 here

    Take x = carbs

    if

    x + y + z = weight gain
    y and z do not equal 0 (based on your validation previous)

    therefore x does not equal weight gain on its own so blaming weight gain on one factor when there are numerous influential factors is just plain stupid

    Obviously . If you eat a substantial amount of carbs and struggle with weight. You decide to lose weight.
    I see it as you have two options. Restrict calories and continue to eat a bit of everything or limit carbs and never count calories.

    Answer the following: Which is the best option to lose the weight? Which is easier? Which is more sustainable ? Which is better for overall health?

    I lost more fat in less time while eating 150+ carbs per day. So for me, carbs win that round. Though I'd guess more intense training might have helped.

    I wouldn't say one is easier than the other, they both have pros and cons. I have less to think about with higher fat since it regulates appetite much better, but the food was nicer and much more varied on higher carb.

    Sustainability, pros and cons again, for pretty much the same reasons as the last question.

    Overall health, I've no idea, can't see I feel much different in either case.

    Obviously you'll refuse to take all this on board though.

    Very good - I accept all of that. Just wanted your opinion. What suits one person won't suit another.

    I'd disagree about the food being nicer on high carb (if you're referring to grains) though. I use lots of spices when cooking to make the food tasty.

    No, just no. You are so wrong it hurts. Are you suggesting that if you ate no carbs at all per day and ate 2000 calories worth of protein and 2000 calories worth of fat you would lose weight? Obviously the answer is you don't really believe this and so the "one factor" in weight gain is blatantly not carbs, it is how many calories you consume per day.

    Do these count towards your overall daily carb intake? or are they not relavent???

    Not worth counting. Miniscule amounts of carbs in spices unless your using hundreds of grams which you wouldn't be using daily.

    I'm talking about fat loss.

    Yes that's exactly what I'm saying except more fat and less protein.

    I've gone from 22% bf to 14 % bf doing something similar.

    6g of carbs per table spoon of garlic powder here or 4g of carbs per tablespoon of chill powder there add in with the carbs in grass fed meat or eggs, cheese, cream and suddenly you are at close to half your daily intake if you are on keto diet without even realising it.

    (Not that I am saying this is a bad thing but atleast it can make you realise that your magic figures of 50/100/150g are well out)

    Yes I get that. However that would be some amount of spice to be eating with a steak!

    Mist days use nutmeg and cinnamon but just a few sprinkles!

    I suppose if you want to stay within the magic figures don't use tablespoons of spices with each meal!

    Not if you can eat as much fat and protein as you want, sure I'll be having atleast two or 3 big juicy steaks for dinner and lunch (and maybe a small one with a stick of butter as a snack in between) ;)

    I've never eaten more than two steaks in a day. Lots of butter and veg with the steak.

    You can eat as much fat as you want not as much protein as you want though.

    The idea is eat as much fat and protein as you want. Try it- you'll soon be satiated and satisfied.
