💯 use the diet that works for you. Keto worked as a way to shed 40% of my bodyweight and reset my metabolism. I pursue a more balanced diet now 🤙

That's the beauty of humans digestive system, it's very adaptable. From the Inuit on an almost purely animal diet to tribes that consist of mostly grains and vegetables, history is full of examples. A lot of people preach that everyone should eat their "one true way" but I think different people have different needs. I just try to avoid overly processed food, that works for me now 👍

Yup and then there’s that whole microbiome. Everyone’s is unique to them.

Yes. Reconfiguring your microbiome, plus turning systems like gluconeogenesis back on are the reason for keto flu. It takes a while for the body to get back to homeostasis, come to terms with the new diet.

"Turd burglars"

i wonder what the conversation was like when the modern microbiome scientists had to convince the remote tribe that they wanted their poop for science.

“Here’s money, give poop”

money is worthless out there.

it just makes me laugh to picture the know it all western scientist bartering for a tribesman’s poop.
