The other post that you're mocking is correct though -- a human being needs very little vitamin C unless he's consuming a large amount of carbohydrates that are deficient in vitamin C.
Carbohydrates are not an essential nutrient and the human body functions optimally in the complete absence of dietary carbs.
The USDA does not want you to know this, of course, but you only need protein and fat.
I did the keto thing for a month it didn't do shit for me and my food bill went through the roof. All the special keto strips and bulletproof coffee is a scam to make your wallet lose weight. Then I went camping and couldn't stay in ketosis out there with the limited food choices, gave it up and never looked back. The USDA doesn't give a shit.
I don't know what or how exactly you ate during that short period of time you tried keto, but it seems like you didn't do it for long enough and perhaps just bought items that said "keto" on them.
I started out doing keto and lost weight pretty easily, then ditched all carbs altogether and just ate steak and lost weight easily.
Keto is not a scam. You just didn't do keto.
Maybe. I lost water weight but trying to stay under 50 grams a day was a huge pain. I bought stuff like cottage cheese but the wrong kind apparently as it had too many carbs and ended up throwing it out. Even a bag of frozen broccoli and leafy greens had enough carbs to make an impact when the max was so low. Plus eating burgers with lettuce for a roll, just whole thing felt like a retarded PITA.
