You know that how exactly?


because they were much less fat than us, had almost none of the diseases we have that are all really metabolic dysfunction/diabetes at their root, and the general price and availability of food has only been getting better…


What does that have to do with ketosis? You can eat a lot of carbs and not be fat...

> had almost none of the diseases we have that are all really metabolic dysfunction/diabetes at their root

True. Unless you were rich. Even heard of gout? But yeah probably somewhat accurate for the whole population. But again, not much to do with ketosis.

I mean is there any evidence even today that someone whose diet is primarily (~80%) grain and other plant products with a lot of carbohydrates can enter ketosis even when practicing "intermittent fasting" while consuming ~2000-3000 calories per day (e.g. the estimate for standard Roman soldier daily rations is 3,000-4,000)? Seems impossible...


i guess you missed the memo but people do it every day including me. i own a ketone meter.


You mainly eat a grain based diet. Consume 2000+ calories and manage to "enter" ketosis? That's extremely remarkable...


not really. its extremely well established science. you dont seem to have much experience with this topic. ketosis saved my life in 2019 and ever since then ive been learning as much as i can about ketosis and its medical applications


I'm sorry are you trolling? You were eating 2000+ calories of mainly carbs and managed to enter ketosis? Really?

> its extremely well established science

You saying this doesn't make it true.
