Americans eating like they got free healthcare or something.
There is a reason the "standard american diet" abbreviates to sad.
Heart disease in that 10% remaining. It hits so hard, the other diseases don't even get a chance 😢
Hey man, I was a fat ass with high cholesterol and pre diabetic. I ate keto and cut most carbs from my diet (20mg max a day) and not only did I lose 60lb, my arthritis and back pain disappeared. My cholesterol is at an acceptable levels without medication.
Sugars and carbs are what is unhealthy. Not meats and fats.
When you are fat you need to cut down carbs for a while to allow cells to into burning fat for fuel. Keto diet is a very useful tool to loose weight but not yet proven to be healthy long term. Carbs are not unhealthy if sourced from wholefoods since they will always come with the one very important thing keto diets lack: fiber.
Ya, you can't eat bad fats. You need clean fats. Not all carbs are made the same. Fructose consumed by real fruits is good.
Fructose consumed by real fruits is good.
Fruits are pretty good because they contain important micronutrients and fibre. But the fructose they contain is still just sugar, and not a whole lot better in its own right than the sugar in lollies and biscuits.
Ya, still gotta make sure to not blow past the 20g of sugar with fruits.
Agree. Whole foods should be the staple of a healthy diet.
This has lots of potatoes that are high in carbs, so I don't think it's keto. Also, everything is healthy in moderation (except stuff like smoking, alcohol) and unhealthy if you eat to much and the keto diet is definitely not for everyone, so be careful making those generalized claims.

Also gout.
Technically correct, because this diet would kill 90% of the people
Can't get diarrhea if you've got a bowel blockage.
Everyone is focusing on the horror of the cholesterol but no one is asking the real question:
What kind of psychopath eats kiwi with eggs??
I think thats avocado.
I thought the same, until I unfortunately realised they're not talking about the image we think they are
Oh...
Yuck.
Yep, saw the lower right and audibly uttered, "Oh god!"
Gotta love how they added the fattiest vegetable/fruit to this dish.
"Hmmm.... needs some greens. Oh I'll just add the juiciest avocado."
Weird, i thought it was brussel sprouts until i zoomed in on it.
Jesus, I had convinced myself that was Green Beans or Pea Pods, but no, you're right.
It's part of the carnivore diet. It's a dumb trend among American men, who think if they'd ate more than a handful of plant based stuff, they became vegan betamales.
it's a horrible day to have eyes
it’s not fast food so it’s better than many an American’s meal but you could do with less carbs and meats and eggs and more vegitables
Nothing wrong with carbs if they are from whole foods.
I think the comment was not against carbs in general, just their proportion to veggies.
If thats the case, I agree!
That’s way too much fucking food.
I dunno, I could probably crush two of those plates
I know multiple friends that easily eat that and myb 20-50% more on a regular and are some of the most fit people I know. Ofc they exercise a fuckton and only eating food like this would probably lead to cardiac arrest, but my point is it depends on the person.
Good lord, the amount of eggs there. The steak by itself doesnt look like a horrifying amount but thats gotta be like 6-10 eggs in each picture!
I'll never forget when I worked on industrial solar farms for the power grid, I worked with this absolutely jacked bro that would blast EDM on the overnights when it was too hot to legally work in the daytime.
He would crush like 20 egg whites when we'd go to Denny's.
Never really understood how that worked into his diet but it worked for him and he was cool as shit.
20 egg whites is only something like 400 calories (100g protein), a totally reasonable amount of protein to get if you were weightlifting and building muscles. little weird to do it all at once though
That probably had more to do with our working conditions tbh. We would work 12-16 hour shifts, frequently flipping between days and overnights due to the heat.
Eating one big meal after working was all you could do sometimes. You're basically in survival mode. We would also usually split a case of water per day due to sweating so much and staying hydrated.
He would eat like 20 egg whites as well as some other low carb breakfast at Denny's. Then go work out. Dude was a beast lol.
Not everyone's body absorbs cholesterol from their diet. I love eggs too!
I got constipated looking at this post
Arguably people eating like this is a cause of many illnesses, and this is coming from a professional fatass.
0 beans. Trash plate
Gastronomy ! *****
Now you've made me hungry, damn that look good
My dog would have diarrhea for days
I suspect this some kind of irony or satire like 100% of human diseases would disappear if everyone committed to a starvation / cannibalism diet
