A Ketosis Diet?

Do people know that's not a good idea to make yourself be in the state of ketosis?

What gives you that impression? It was our natural state for, oh 100,000 years or so.

One thing I've come to realize about the Atkins Diet is that it was developed for all those poor ****ers that have to work desk jobs. While an active human being's diet should consist of about 1/3 grain, if you're just sitting in a cubicle all day, all of those carbs are just going to sit there with you and turn to fat. That was something I didn't understand about Atkins when I first analyzed it.

No. The place of grain as the largest source of calories in the modern and post paleolithic diet is the single worst thing to happen to our species health wise ever. PaNu - P

There are indeed a number of what I think are good arguments as to why one should consider cutting grain (like just about all bakery stuff), sugar (candy, soft drinks etc.) and milk (drinks, lots of bakery stuff) from a healthy diet. The general argument is that the inclusion of these things in our diets is so recent that we haven't had much time to adapt to them, hence they have negative effects on our health. Many scientists believe that a number of the common lifestyle diseases as well as anti-social behaviour and mental problems often stem from our modern diets which include these 3 no-nos.

Yeah, I think it's pretty irrefutable stuff. Of course we don't fully understand nutrition but it seems clear to me that gluten grain is poison, and rice, corn and other grain (Quinoa, for the record, is not a grain) should be eaten only sparingly. Government guidelines be damned.
