The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

It's not the only path to metabolic health, there are many valid ways to be healthy. I would say it is the ideal path, but that is just my opinion.
Not fat! Metabolically unwell. You surely have heard of skinny fat people - thin on the outside but with visceral fat. So non-obese people can have fat in unhealthy places.
Snoring is a early sign of poor metabolic health, the easiest way to fix that is.... (I would say keto as the most effective intervention, but there are many ways to resolve it).
I included a link to the paper directly (rather then just the official doi link) - you can just click here to read it directly - Full Paper here
Obesity is driven by carbohydrates. Fat burning, requires the absence of carbohydrates in the blood. It is not necessary to produce enough ketones to be detectable in the blood to be in a fat based metabolism, but it is still a ketogenic state. People using CICO for weight control are still entering a ketogenic state between meals, when they sleep, etc. A ketogenic diet just prolongs this ketogenic state to a greater percentage of the day. Any time carbohydrates are consumed, blood glucose rises, raising insulin - when insulin is elevated the body will not mobilize fat from adipose tissue, i.e. it pauses fat burning. So someone eating the standard 3 meals and 3 snacks with carbs is pausing their fat burning 6 times per day (for 2-4 hours per eating session depending on their inherit insulin resistance) - Which is almost the entire day.
Totally agreed! There are many factors that go into metabolic health
Each one of these can increase overall inflammation and insulin resistance. It appears people have a inflammation budget in which they can maintain metabolic health, but it's very easy for people to go outside of this budget. The average westerner is getting all of the above negative factors, and for them the most effective path back into good health is to remove the carbohydrates. In the context of snoring the single most important thing to resolving ectopic fat is hormonal control, meaning normal insulin levels throughout the day - just cutting carbohydrates will do that overnight, its the most effective leaver to pull. Yes someone could increase their physical activity, cut out seed oils - gradually lowering their overall inflammation to the point where they can get their hormones under control, but its a much longer path then cutting carbohydrates.
Yes, Carbohydrates may not be the big evil in modern health (its some combination of the above as you said), but eliminating them is the most effective way to resolve metabolic issues.
I'm happy to talk about any topics of health or nutrition in detail, we don't just have to talk about snoring, feel free to make a post in !ketogenic@discuss.online
Ta! I appreciate you, we are communicating, which is the best possible outcome on lemmy.
