I mean honestly, this just seems like common sense. If it works for you, you feel amazing, your numbers are amazing, like you said, why is it unhealthy? Because you said it is? And especially when the opposite was the case prior to you having started that diet?

I mean it’s easy to outright dismiss something, but not so easy to lay out your reasons for why you believe what you believe or why the other side is somehow objectively wrong about what they believe. I think some people tend to put complete faith in the sciences and act as though it’s an unchangeable and objective fact of reality that what they’ve been told is true, despite science being an ever-evolving process. They tightly hold to these ideas that they’ve heard since childhood because it’s comfortable, but these ideas are not absolute and more than that they may have caused complete and utter chaos to the human population in a relatively short period of time. How could we possibly not question them?

But yea’, what you just shared is all I ever read. Over and over and over again from “regular” people. If that doesn’t make you at least consider that this may be a healthy alternative at least for some people, then I would imagine that your stance is probably a byproduct of an unwillingness or even stubbornness to branch away from your comfort zone and genuinely consider other diverse perspectives and it doesn’t really have anything to do with truth.

Either way, continue riding in good health, my friend. And thank you once again for sharing your experience. I appreciate it.
