Hello everyone. Trying to get nice and shredded. Ultimate goal is to have a road map of veins that, no matter where they start, they all lead to my disco stick.
So I jumped on keto, on and off, for about a month.
Now, first off I feel great on keto. Energetic and strong in the gym.
Two of my favorite meats - ground turkey and swai. Most people have never of swai, so here's some background.
Swai is a catfish from southeast Asia that reproduce like crazy and flood the MeKong valley in Vietnam.
Since these fish are in such a huge abundance they are able to be sold cheaper than a dime store whore, which drastically changed the fish market in America.
SO, in 2003, the fish farmers of America complained to Congress about how unfair and unAmerican this was, since most their farm raised American catfish weren't selling anymore, and they got it outlawed to sell any of the 3,000 other known types of catfish in the American market. This made it so only American farm-raised catfish could be marketed and sold as "catfish"
As history would have it, Vietnam won again by simply renaming their catfish as swai and throwing it back on the market. 2-0 there.
Now, reason I wrote this is because A.) I like swai. And B.) A not so educated man (his name rhymes with gylan demelli) told me it was unhealthy for me.
This false advice was also given to me after telling me to eat 1 and a half cups of oats first thing in the AM or right before bed on a keto diet.
Mmmyyeeaaahokay.... sorry to dwell on a personal point there, but in all seriousness, has there actually been any legitimate proof showing that swai is less healthy than any other fish on the market?
Thank you.
