Don't thank me. Thank /u/ashsimmonds. It's his site. Maybe he'll even eventually update it past 2014 research. We can only hope.

Buy the book to support him!

I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE

(even published a book on the stuff)

I'm pretty quiet around here, but when I want in-depth opinions/theories/info on any given Trek lore, this is the first place I search.

u/viam-venator · 5 pointsr/ketoscience

/u/ashsimmonds wrote the keto reference compendium, I'd start there.

u/callesen58 · 3 pointsr/ketoscience

Buy Ash Simmonds book: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N0KGKNI/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

Blogs and shit. Can be found on the sidebar. Add http://ketotic.blogspot.com/ and http://ketopia.com/ to the list.

Also look up Robert Lustig, Jeff Volek and Steve Phinney.

There is a large body of work showing how and why keto works, and there is also a large body of work showing that VLCHF diets are more effective than other forms of dieting.

What the literature and studies have not yet shown conclusively is whether the calories in calories out theory is the only valid reason. If it is, then why is keto more effective?

There is so much knowledge I can't really point you any further than Principia Ketogenica to show you that the FAQ is not exactly correct.

> Why do you apply studies that used non-ketosis diets to determine protein requirements for ketosis? Please tell me where in that link that it says the studies were carried out using ketosis. Isn't that like applying studies on petrol engines to diesel engines?

Because the results and recommendations in the studies, do not contradict the ones for a ketogenic diet. You seem to think that you need a lot of protein to need muscle, when in fact the studies shown that it is quite the contrary. And once keto adapted, you actually may need less, as a ketogenic diet is muscle sparing:

> Within the nutrition and dietetics fields, most advice on protein intake is based on the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) and daily recommended intake (DRI) values. These recommendations, however, were developed for the average weight stable, unstressed individual. Add any degree of energy restriction (i.e., for weight loss) or physical or emotional stress, however, and the RDA/DRI values become inadequate.

> Thus consuming somewhat more protein than the recommended dietary allowance is probably justified if you are losing weight or frequently doing high stress exercise.

> That said, however, significantly over-consuming protein can be problematic because some of these extra amino acids can be converted to glucose in the body, raising insulin levels, and thus driving down ketones and suppressing fat burning. Even if your goal is gaining muscle, there is a limit to how much new muscle protein can be added each day, and under most circumstances, this amount is relatively small.

> Over-consuming protein beyond the level that allows maximum anabolism in skeletal muscle thus puts a burden on the body to get rid of the extra nitrogen. Since protein is not a particularly efficient fuel source and for the reasons mentioned above, it therefore makes little sense to consume it in excess.

> For all these reasons, we recommend aiming for an intake in the range of 0.6 to 1.0 grams per pound lean body mass. The table below provides a few examples of protein intake ranges for men and women with different weights and body fat contents. The key point here is that while these protein intakes are above the minimum RDA values, they are certainly not high protein intakes compared to current standards. Note also that our recommended intake ranges are pretty wide, allowing you a fair degree of flexibility in choosing your level of protein intake.

> "A ketogenic diet can be very good for lean mass growth, while a high carb diet for total weight gain (meaning you will also gain fat)." <-- Please explain how a keto diet and carb diet of equal calorific surplus will result in different levels of body fat gain.

Here: (thanks /u/ashsimmonds, your book Principia Ketogenica is a wealth of knowledge. I'm sure you have a lot more references on this, as well as /u/Naonin.

> a) "Two very low calorie diets were studied, one high in fat and low in carbohydrate content, the other high in carbohydrate and low in fat.
The high fat-low carbohydrate diet resulted in a greater weight loss during the 2-week observation period, then significant rapid weight gain and urinary retention of sodium in subjects who returned to a maintenance diet. Fasting triglyceride and cholesterol levels declined to a greater extent following the high fat regimen. These changes reflected decrements in VLDL alone."
Effect of diet composition on metabolic adaptations to hypocaloric nutrition: comparison of high carbohydrate and high fat isocaloric diets. - 1977

> b) "Subjects overate different diets for 30 days by 1,000 calories a day more than they needed to maintain weight. On a standard American or a high carbohydrate diet they gained ~2.7kg, however on a high fat diet they only gained ~1.75kg."
Adaptation to overeating in lean and overweight men and women. - 1983

> c) "37 obese children were put on a diet of either ad-libitum very low carb or a low calorie balanced diet for 2 months. Subjects in the very low carb group lost ~5.2kg whereas the subjects restricting calories actually gained ~2.4kg."
Effect of low-carbohydrate, unlimited calorie diet on the treatment of childhood obesity: a prospective controlled study. - 2003

> d) "28 healthy, overweight/obese men and women were prescribed 2 energy-restricted diets: ketogenic, or low fat with a goal similar to accepted recommendations.
Daily calories on the ketogenic diet for the men were ~1,855 compared to the ~1,562 on low fat. A distinct advantage of keto over low fat was demonstrated for weight loss, total fat loss, and trunk fat loss for men. The majority of women also responded more favorably to the ketogenic diet, especially in terms of trunk fat loss. Resting energy expenditure was decreased with both diets as expected, but was better maintained on the keto diet for men only. Individual responses clearly show the majority of men and women experience greater weight and fat loss on a low carb than a low fat diet."
Comparison of energy-restricted very low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets on weight loss and body composition in overweight men and women. - 2004

> e) "96 insulin-resistant women were randomised to one of 3 dietary interventions: a high-carbohydrate high-fibre diet, a high-fat Atkins diet, or a high-protein Zone diet. There were supervised weight loss and weight maintenance phases (8 weeks each).
When compared with the high carb diet, the high fat and protein diets were shown to produce significantly greater reductions in weight, waist circumference, and triglycerides."
Comparison of high-fat and high-protein diets with a high-carbohydrate diet in insulin-resistant obese women. - 2005

> f) "The effect of a very-low-carbohydrate, high-saturated-fat diet on markers of endothelial function and cardiovascular disease risk was compared with that of an isocaloric high-carbohydrate, low-saturated-fat diet. Weight loss occurred in both groups and was significantly greater in the low carb group, BMI also decreased, with a differential effect of diet such that the reduction was greater in the low carb group. HDL cholesterol did not change with the high carb group, but increased with low carb. Triglycerides decreased overall, to a greater extent with the low carb diet.
A very-low-carbohydrate high fat diet with significant portion as saturated fat diet not impair brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation."
Effects of weight loss from a very-low-carbohydrate diet on endothelial function and markers of cardiovascular disease risk in subjects with abdominal obesity. - 2008

> g) "Subjects were put on a 20 day ketogenic or a low-calorie Mediterranean diet. Both diet protocols lead to a significant decrease in body weight, the reduction was significantly greater on keto. The ketogenic diet also lead to increased fat oxidation at rest without any effect on resting energy expenditure. Interestingly this effect was long lasting, at least for up to 20 days following cessation of the ketogenic diet.
Medium term effects of a ketogenic diet and a Mediterranean diet on resting energy expenditure and respiratory ratio. - 2012

And I especially like this one:

> h) "Reduced resting and total energy expenditure (REE / TEE) following weight loss is thought to contribute to the prevalence of weight regain after dieting and then resuming a normal diet.
21 overweight young adults were put on a weight loss diet, after achieving 10-15% weight loss they were put on a weight maintenance diet of the same calories, but consisting of either low-fat, low-glycemic index, or very low-carbohydrate. This was one in a controlled 3-way crossover design in random order, each for 4 weeks.
Compared with the pre-weight-loss baseline, the decrease in REE and TEE was greatest with the low-fat diet, intermediate with the low-glycemic index diet, and least with the very low-carbohydrate diet, meaning the low-fat diet caused as much as a 300 calorie drop in expenditure despite the same intake and activity levels as the low carb diet.
Effects of dietary composition on energy expenditure during weight-loss maintenance. - 2012

I'm sure you can put two and two together and get your own conclusions.

This book has a ton of studies that are pro-keto/meat: https://www.amazon.com/Principia-Ketogenica-Carbohydrate-Compendium-Literature-ebook/dp/B00N0KGKNI

Also checkout /r/ketoscience there's lots of scientists on there that debunk bullshit studies

Get her Principia Ketogenica
Hundreds of well cited and explained studies for her to look up.

That's chill, I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. Though it's been around long enough for it to have been studied in the 70's and even prior to that - here is a compendium of literally 100's of studies that have been done on the matter, there is no bias, it's merely a catagorised list of studies and their abstracts: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Principia-Ketogenica-Carbohydrate-Compendium-Literature-ebook/dp/B00N0KGKNI

u/Ama-rok · 1 pointr/LivestreamFail

These were just a handful of ones from 2017.

Not to mention there's a whole book of studies on Ketosis and Ketogenic diet which is form of fast mimicking diet.

https://www.amazon.com/Principia-Ketogenica-Carbohydrate-Compendium-Literature-ebook/dp/B00N0KGKNI

The first human ketosis experiment happened already in the 1930's called the Bellevue study medical trial done on 2 human beings who were forced to stay in a hospital for one year. http://www.jbc.org/content/87/3/651.full.pdf

So this is nothing new. Fasting whether through Ketosis or intermittent fasting has shown benefits on humans and is definitely not "Bro science".

u/strudelino · 1 pointr/MGTOW

Nope, real science, over 150 studies confirming it: - https://www.amazon.com/Principia-Ketogenica-Carbohydrate-Compendium-Literature-ebook/dp/B00N0KGKNI

Including the iconic bellevue study where two men were studied in a hospital for one year eating nothing but meat and their health improved, http://www.jbc.org/content/87/3/651.full.pdf

No, lack of sufficient hydration can make a preexisting stone symptomatic, there's a big difference and it's worth being clear about it.
