When did not eating carbs to lose weight become popular

[CarmelBarbie]

The obesity epidemic really started to take off in the mid 1980s. But as you can see, damn near 50% of adults been overweight since the 1960s really

Not really and in no way near the levels it is today. You didn't include a source for your charts, however I can provide endless links(below) and have talked to many older people who were adults and teenagers in the 70's and 80's and nah not even close in terms of the number of overweight and fat people back then as it is today. Hell, all I have to do is look at movies and photos from those time periods to see the difference.

The rate of obesity has climbed dramatically in the past 20 years: A third of adults are obese today, compared to 23% in the late 1980s.

The reality is that people were eating carbs and sugar back then too. And people were overall much slimmer than they are today. It is not carbs alone that contributes to the number of overweight people in this country. People spout that information off a lot, to rationalize why they've cut carbs, amongst other things, but there are just as many people that do weight watchers and other diets that still eat carbs and lose weight too. The reality is that any diet can contribute to weight loss, whether carbs are cut or not. The key is to maintaining that weight loss over time. If your able to do that doing Keto, Paleo or whatever else then by all means continue with it. I just like for others to know that they don't have to do that diet in order to lose and maintain weight loss.

Never knew so many scientists and nutritionists were on the coli

Especially nikkas coming in here talking shyt and showing off when they’ve admitted to getting injections

Sugar is the cause of obesity
Sugar is a carbohydrate
If you stop eating/drinking sugar, you will lose weight.

This is why America had an obesity problem. Everybody thought ‘trans fats’ were responsible for weight gain, but in actuality it was sugar.

It's not.

At everyone disagreeing with everyone else in here. Welcome to the fitness world where everything contradicts itself and everyone has the correct answers

I Just compete, I've been top 10 in every show and walked away with a trophy...but what do I know

You know what works for you. It's like Snoop telling Rick Ross how to lose weight

Where is your pictures, where is your video, put up, post up or shut up.....where is your proof.

I've trained people too....
I dont use my diet for others, what kind of fool is would do that, everyone has different bodytypes

Snoop would be on high carb diet since he has a fast metabolism, Rick ross would have to be on low carbs since he has a endomorph bodytype.

It's not that hard breh.

What you and others are failing to realise that you should eat for your body type.
I've done 4 shows and used keto diets for 2 and the other 2 were high to moderate carbs.
Now the big thing is, what kind of carbs can your baby handle for dieting.
For example I'll use myself
I take 16-20 weeks to diet for show
If I start at high carbs which would be 400 grams
The Carbs that I can diet off of and still lose weight are
Whole wheat pasta
Oat meal
Whole wheat grain bread...
Green veggies
Those were the carbs I could eat the entire prep

I couldn't eat any kind of potatoes,
No fruit, no lactose
no starches like corn

Every 2 weeks I would slowly reduce my overall carb intake....I looked my best on that diet


However most people do not know how to diet with carbs because they have not taken the time to learn there body thus no carbs diets are the simplest to do

The average person is not doing shows breh. LMAO. If that is what this thread is about, then I'll let yall have that conversation. I'm talking about "average" people doing these sort of diets, not those that are body builders or competing in shows. People that compete are on a completely different level and do all kind of shyt(in terms of eating) and working out that a normal person has no need to do. If this thread is about promoting that lifestyle, then this shouldn't be in TLR.

And actually, what I and others are talking about(or so I thought) is EXACTLY that breh. People need to eat according to their body type, and their lifestyles, and what they can realistically maintain. There is literally no point in doing this diet if your only doing it for the short term, but want to maintain your results. You have to commit to this diet, or some variation for life, to maintain these results. The reality is that for some people that can be very difficult, or not sustainable. Yes it can lead to weight loss, but I don't care about weight loss if it cannot be sustained.

If we're giving personal accounts, I eat all kind of carbs, and I've maintained my weight. I've done no carb diets in the past and my body quickly plateaus every time. They don't work for my body at all. For the average person these diets contribute to weight loss, but the average person will also struggle to sustain this diet for a long period of time.

Good question.

The only difference between the diet of people who compete vs. People that dont is "the training" the eating should be same since most people who diet want to lose the fat and not the muscle

Sh#t, I'm training my wife who's diet differs then mine and training and she's killing 99.9% of the women on or off this forum

People that can eat carbs are meso or ectomorphs in bodytypes, that should dictate what your eating regardless

like I said it started increasing at a startling rate in the 1980s. And I never said carbs alone causes obesity, there are many factors like living a sedentary lifestyle. People sitting at a desk all day ain't burning no calories. More than likely they snacking while sitting down.

I know yall love yall white bread, pasta, rice, etc but many people are not eating these type of foods in moderation Let's cut the crap, a lot of people simply are overeating and carbs are usually what they are eating too much of. Folks ain't eating too much steak or ground beef, they eating a whole bag of chips and slurping a Coke down.

I like to bring up the obesity epidemic in Brazil cuz it's more recent and shows how an increase in wealth in a country affects people's health and weight gain.

Just like in the states, once Brazilians started making more money, they went out to eat more and overate, they drove more than walked, played video games more than going outside to play, watched movies and TV while snackin and drinking, etc.

The percentage of Brazilians who are obese soared 60 percent in the past 10 years, rising from 11.8 percent of the population in 2006 to 18.9 percent in 2016, the Health Ministry said in a report Monday.

The percentage of people who are overweight grew by 26.3 percent, with more than half the population of Latin America's largest country now falling into this category.

The percentage of Brazilians who are overweight rose from 42.6 percent of the population in 2006 to 53.8 percent in 2016.

The number of people at risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes and heart attacks, all caused by being obese or overweight, rose markedly since 2006, the ministry said.

Some 40 percent of people have high blood pressure and nearly 10 percent suffer from diabetes, making overeating and not hunger the main challenge for health officials.

The report is produced annually based on telephone surveys of people over the age of 18 living in Brazil's 27 state capitals.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

It only takes 60 grams of carbs to take you out of keto. So those 100 gram days are taking you out even with training.
If your eating is on the 50 grams should be met using indirect sources like you just said, whey protein, chicken, beef, peanut butter ec...

I’m done with it now and thats not what I read.

And I still lost my weight after doing my own research

 

[O.Red]

Keto is the only way to go... shyt isn’t a fad it’s a lifestyle

Yea until you have to do anything explosive and now you feel like somebody best the shyt outta you
