High fat diet starves the brain.

do you think this is true across the board for fats, or could it differ by type?

the reason i ask is, i have a diet fairly high in 'healthy' fats, such as avocado, seeds, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, etc.

It doesn't matter, like it says in the article the problem is the lack of glucose(carbs) and it's not about the type of fats you're consuming.

But as long as you have atleat 100-150 grams of carbs per day I think there shouldn't be any problem.

thanks; i read the quoted portions. i'm curious what shlver might think.

as for carbs-- well, there are carbs and there are carbs.

i imagine that most people on shitty american high-fat diets (for example) are probably getting those 100 - 150 grams of carbs and STILL developing insulin resistance. in fact, likely augmenting it, based on the type of processed carbs that typically are involved in such a diet.

Carbs cause diabetes, cancer, inflammation of the digestive tract, dysbiosis, and obesity.

A clean paleo diet is the healthiest diet on the planet. OP wants any reason to justify his oreo addiction.

"fats starve teh brain!"

Yeah a paleo diet doesn't have carbs at all.

Last part is especially true. You should be deriving your carbs from fruits and vegetables.

thanks much for the breakdown!

ah, google translate came up with "corby" and i just ran with it. :P

Last part is especially true. You should be deriving your carbs from fruits and vegetables.

a typical meal for me is a spicy legume-veggie stew, guacamole with pico de gallo, or salad with egg / salmon. i snack on stuff like carrots, radishes, nuts, berries in season. and ramen / rice noodles with veggies (see below).

i don't eat enough fruit in general, but i have plans to get a vitamix blender so i don't have to waste the pulp as an average juicer does.

i sometimes add whole grains to my stews, like quinoa or wild & brown rice. but i have a weakness for noodles. i'm going to try substituting spaghetti squash noodles and see how that works. i'm also curious about trying shirataki noodles, as they're zero-cal, made from yams, and indigestible.

biggest problem for me is alcohol-- i like to drink after a workout, and that happens about three times a week. usually about 3-4 mixed drinks. i'm trying to cut down, but alcohol is devilish in temporarily relieving various health issues, plus some social phobia.

what's your diet like, if i may ask.

OP go have this argument with Lyle Mcdonald at his forums. PLEASE I BEG YOU. This man is arrogant as fck and is a nerd. Go prove him wrong.

For every article that says high fat diet is bad there will be an article arguing it and saying it's healthy. Same with carbs and same with anything diet related. Even sugar majority say it's bad but I've read studies that says its also good!


To me the the best diet is one that is mainly centered around plants and nuts with small amounts of meat.

but as i understand it, that wasn't just an 'article'... more like an expanded abstract of a published study, with concise summations of the biochemical mechanisms involved.

not some wannabe-nutritionist or even registered dietitian opining their views.

btw, i'd like to see those articles advocating for a high-processed carb or high-sugar diet. sounds like some hilarious reading!

i mostly agree with that.

about pallin- what he says about whole foods and avoiding preservatives makes a lot of sense to me, but his idea that 'anything prepared freshly should be okay to eat' still sounds like rubbish to me.

yea sure... eat as much bacon and cake as you want, as long as you freshly cooked it. (i'm paraphrasing from a long radio interview with him from a couple years ago)
