Keto promised something no other diet could: cut the carbs, flip a metabolic switch, and burn fat without counting a single calorie. A magic loophole in human physiology. So does it actually work? This week we trace keto from a deaf Victorian undertaker who accidentally invented the first diet book, to a 1920s epilepsy clinic that turned fasting into medicine, to the bankrupt Atkins empire, to the shirtless guys on TikTok insisting grains ruined their lives. Then we get into the science: what ketosis actually is, why the carb-insulin hypothesis doesn't survive a metabolic ward, what Kevin Hall's lockdown studies really found, and why you should treat "it worked for me" with a grain of ketogenic salt. We also get specific about athletes: what fat adaptation can and can't do and who might genuinely benefit from a low-carb approach versus who's just going to get slower and crankier (Zoë, for sure). rabbit: 10% off with code SUMMERSNACKS10 at runinrabbit.com Tailwind Nutrition: 20% off with code YOURDIET20 at tailwindnutrition.com Osmia Skincare: 20% off with code YDS20 at osmiaskincare.com Microcosm Coaching: work with a real human coach at every level at microcosm-coaching.com","meta_description":"Support us on Patreon!
