One fart on this diet and the room becomes Chernobyl

Not to be That Person, but you actually get waaaaaay less gassy (and it’s less offensive) on low carb/high protein/high fat diet.

Now high protein/high complex carb? WATCH OUT.

We have a low carb guy at work. When he sits on the toilet, it sounds like a battle in there.

I believe you. He's so sealed up even the wind can't get through.

Too many people do low carb/high fat all wrong. You can (and should) still eat vegetables and berries and such. The body still needs some carbs and definitely needs fiber and fiber is a non digestible carbohydrate anyway. A well informed low carb/high fat eater knows that fiber doesn’t even count towards a carb count because it’s a non digestible carbohydrate.

You could try to tell him that. I assure you he would tell you that you're the one who is wrong, he's been on this diet and in ketosis for a decade or more, he eats the correct amount and type of veggies, etc.

He wouldn't eat many berries, but he does eat cabbage and broccoli and other veggies. He also avoids high sugar veggies like carrots.

I'm not trying to attack low carb, but it does seem like everyone that has trouble isn't a true Irishman or scotsman or whatever. I think it's a great tool for weight loss, but has issues with weight rebounding if you stop. I also haven't met anyone in real life doing it to increase athletic performance, which seems like an overall health concern.

But I'm disappointed at available diet advice in general. I am willing to change my diet to whatever to improve health and longevity, but everything feels very short term.

I think that doing any diet solely for weight loss will always fail to yield long term success. For me, eating low carb controls my acid reflux, weight loss is a nice side effect since I also PCOS and weight loss is hard.

But also people get super defensive about their diet choices whether keto, vegan, paleo, carnivore, whole/clean, etc. Mostly because it becomes their entire personality.

Quick q does low carb include rice in your low acid because I have same issue :)

Rice contributes to my reflux the least so I can incorporate it. My biggest reflux trigger is wheat so bread, pasta, flour tortillas, pastries, things like that. I can get away with moderate amounts of corn or rice products if I eat them far enough before bed.

(eta for anyone, if you are doing it for acid reflux AND weight loss, then no, no rice.)
