Keto Diet Again

Some of my relatives are on this diet. I remember years ago, buying pee sticks to know when you were in the right range. I don't plan to do it, I am at lifetime at Weight Watchers. Are you doing keto? How much have you lost?

There is a documentary called The Magic Pill on Netflix (I think, haven't see it). I think it is about this diet and other things.

I cannot do the keto diet. Have chronic kidney disease and even Lindora would only let me use a very modified diet (which did not work). I never went into ketosis because I could not healthwise.

Keto/Atkins, yes.

Down 25 lbs.

My upside, and not suggesting anyone else's, less gastrointestinal issues, acid reflux, no more acne, no shaky sugar lows.

This diet, as others have mentioned for many reasons, is not for everyone.

No.

Of course not.

Not only is it ineffective for long-term results, increases mortality rate.

Everyone should be on this diet. Science backs it up as a very healthy lifestyle to adopt for the long term. I feel sorry for people who don’t know this.

Unless I am mistaken, this is a low/no carbohydrate "diet". This form of eating, in my opinion, should be left to those that have a medical reason to monitor their carb intake. From my own experiences with physical fitness, this would be/actually is, counterproductive, a mistake.

My fitness levels over many decades would have suffered, along with my energy levels, with a low/no carb intake. For me it is not someone's conjecture or scientific study, it is a fact proven by many laboratory Maximum Physical Fitness Testing, done by myself. All done while on my normal level(high complex carb) intake.

One does not a get to a HIGH physical fitness level without putting in a lot of intensive/strenuous exercising. For myself, without this high Complex Carb Intake, these high levels of Physical Fitness would been impossible to achieve, and which I have presently achieved, even now at my advanced age level.

Weight problem? The only times I have been unhappy with my "scale weight" numbers was when I was recovering from life/death health issues. Those many years greatly reduced my ability to exercise at levels conducive to maintaining any body weight I chose for myself. To, and for me, Complex Carbs were/are my pathway, at all ages, to excellent Physical Fitness levels. These levels translate into "every thing in my life being much easier to do", and even when it involved several tough mental issues encountered on life's path.
