Why are low-carb diets like Keto and carnivore so popular right now?

-because you can still eat tasty food, feel full and loose weight at the same time.

Is there something to eating a low carb diet?

-yes

Why are carbs considered evil all of a sudden?

-because of the high concentration of kcals.

I find you have to find the diet that works for you and your lifestyle.

I find it hard to lose weight while eating any carbs so Keto works great for me while cutting and I enjoy the foods.

I run a different keto really it's fucking hard to eat like 60-70%fats. I'd say mine is like 70% protein 30%fats with some leafy greens mixed in. Losing around .5-1kg/week

While I'm bulking I enjoy eating carbs so thats what I do during that cycle as its easier to eat more calories when carbs are involved. Plus I live in Asia currently and rice is in every dish more or less. I can eat out and eat Healthy on a bulk here. It's hard to find cheap cutting meals unless you make them here.

Point is find what works for you. Don't care about the fads, that's all for weak people who "have tried every diet and just can't lose the weight" because they don't exercise or track calories and have to many cheat days and are weak. People like keto because it's new (another new something to make them feel good about themselves while they pretend to lose weight) and they can eat bacon and shit

Pretty amateur bodybuilder and prep coach here for both natural and enhanced physique competitors here.

Why are low-carb diets like Keto and carnivore so popular right now?

Just the latest fad, veganism is no different.

Is there something to eating a low carb diet?

Yeah, fat adapted. But this does not mean you burn more body-fat. When calories and protein are controlled for, there's virtually no difference between high carb and low fat versus low carb and high fat. I say this as someone who has experimented with both, researched both and coached clients with inclinations for both...

Why are carbs considered evil all of a sudden?

Because people still want to believe in the insulin model of obesity, probably because they're unwilling to consider delving into their caloric intake. Beats me...

Someone please help me make sense of this.

If you want an evidence-based YouTube channel, check out anything Dr Layne Norton has talked about re: carbs and/or keto. He's not too bad.

It really comes down to personal preference and discipline.

I’ve been doing keto on/off for the last 13 years.

It works for me because I have a crazy addictive personality and one cheat snack will end up with a 2-3 day binge of candy and cookies ending with me feeling like shit. I recognize my triggers and restrict carbs.

It’s not ideal for my training (competitive CrossFit) but neither is eating 4000 calories of sugar so I take the lesser of 2 evils.

I'd YouTube it unless you're looking for bro science

I don't think there's anything wrong with carbs, they're really good for bulking etc. Sugar in processed food is bad though so it only eat it occasionally.

I find the keto diet to be a lot easier to stick to when I'm cutting however, especially in conjunction with fasting. I have had success counting calories on a low fat diet also, but feel much better with the low carb diet. Also have better skin.

Most people are uneducated or undisciplined in their fitness pursuits looking for something to blame or a quick fix.

I have a couple examples.

Many Pro athletes and bodybuilders eat carbs and yet they maintain very nice physiques . U can claim roids but I think even natural athletes maintain quite nice physiques.

There are plenty of fat chicks who go on a million diets and never see any results.

Research has shown meal timing doesnt matter. It is more calories in vs. Calories out primarily with some variation. Ie u have to gauge your goals and weight periodically so your caloric change does not become baseline.

But for most folks not under 15 percent body fat any caloric reduction whether it comes from cutting carbs or calories will work combined with physical1 activity. You just have to be really dialed in to obtain 10 percent or under. Genetics play a role but only on how fast u can acheive your goals naturally.

It comes down to consistency and regular performance checks really .
