My buddy has been on keto for four years. He dropped 100 pounds and has kept it off.

I looked into it, not for weight loss but to keep the arthritis at bay. It is supposed to be good for fighting inflammation.

Not for me. Seems to go against what little I know about nutrition, as in, eat a balanced diet. I could never give up fruit. Potatoes and pasta, maybe.

The thing that stood out about keto is the fanaticism of its adherents. It seems cultish, kind of like Scientology. I am afraid if I try it and do it wrong or don't stick with it, my dog will be kidnapped.

That's the thing. A lot of bad nutrition advice out there. I don't think I ever actually got into ketosis either. You don't have to give up fruit or vegetables either. Just cutting out processed foods and straight carbs like sugar and bread is a tremendous bread. Totally understand the feeling of people being zealots about it. Alternatively, if you were doing something that actually worked as advertised, how could you not be adamant about it?

I've been happy frying pronghorn steak scraps while butchering this weekend. Very yummy meat. I've also lost 25 lbs. this year doing mostly Keto and intermittent fasting. I'm not a big guy so 25 pounds is huge and it's really reduced pressure and pain on my back.

The biggest impact of the Keto diet has been the change in my outlook toward eating. I'm no longer young and able to eat anything and everything I want. Cutting the carbs, sugars and the day long snacking has been key. Before long I will gradually go to a more balanced diet with no fear of relapsing because I've changed my consumptive eating habits. Feels good to have that control.

He knew it all along.

Anyone remember a place called “Happy Steak”?
Maybe they were a California thing.
As a kid we used to like getting the little colored plastic cows stuck in the streaks with the way the meat was cooked.

[ChickNorris]

This is the way

A good vet could fix it.

That seems to be the key, regardless of the name of the diet.

Another huge (haha) problem Americans have is we eat the largest meal at the wrong time. Eat a big breakfast, medium lunch and small dinner. Eating a large meal at night and then sitting around or going to bed will not burn off the calories. Eating a lot early gives you fuel for the day.

Yes, we loved Happy Steak growing up. My dad had a friend from Lubbock, TX who could never remember the name. So, he called it Hilarious Steak. Their Happy Toast was the best!

I did keto for about 3 weeks and just about 15-18 pounds. I went off keto and started drinking again and gained at least 5lbs back in a week or two.

If i was stuck in that shithole called Louisiana. I'd be drinking, too.
