I heard beast mold is where it's at.Labeling naysayers and skeptics is also ignorant/arrogant. I've heard plenty of dieticians proclaim that Keto is a fad diet and is also unhealthy to stay on, similar to the Atkins diet. Most professional dieticians will tell a person to eat fairly normally, but a balanced diet of nutricious foods, and eat less (because we all overeat). They will say that one can have a blow it meal once in awhile, and then get back to normal eating habits. IIRC it is much harder to get back to a trend diet.
IMO Keto will go the way of The Mediterranean Diet, The South Beach Diet, The Atkins Diet, The Carb Addicts Diet, The Nutrisystem Diet, The Mayo Clinic Diet, The Paleo Diet, The MIND Diet, The Fruitarian Diet, The Kangatarian Diet, The 5:2 Diet, The Cookie Diet, The Maker's Diet, The Hacker's Diet, The Inedia Diet, The Dukan Diet, The Kimkins Diet, The Ideal Protein Diet, The Stillman Diet, The Beverly Hills Diet, The Grapefruit Diet, The Cabbage Soup Diet, The Subway Diet (leads to chimo), The Monotrophic Diet, The Master Cleanse Diet, or any of 100 or more... need I go on? I highly recommend that if one wants to eat healthy, do so in consultation with a professional, not somebody that has a book, infomercial, website, or supplements.
A person that gets their diet prescribed via reading a book, or watching TV, or worse yet, from the health food and health supplement industry, is unconsciously ignorant IMO. At the very least, misinformed. The garbage/info those sources peddle has been debunked many times over. Read sometime the analysis of websites like Healthnutnews.com, it's pretty scary what those liars are advising... follow the green, it's all about making $$$. Books on diets sell, vitamin supplements sell. I know, my wife buys enough supplements each month that we can barely afford to eat.
For my medical conditions, I do need to eat less carbs. I'm also supposed to eat less fat. I'm also supposed to eat less protein. Yeah, that leaves cardboard tasting veggies.
If you are saddened by my saying to leave me alone to live happy for a few more years, like my dad did, that's my biz alone. Too durned bad. I've had diabetes for 15 years and I'm still here, still walking around. I don't need somebody looking down on me for unhealthy eating. Food snobs like one of my so-called friends... I bet I outlive him!!!
When today's trends take fruit, I probably don't want to be here anyway.

Seriously though a few of my coworkers have been doing the Keto thing for a while now and damned if it is not working for them. Have watched as they are getting slimmer. Many of them are in my age range so they of course feel a lot better. As we get older dropping 30-50 pounds is of course going to feel a hell of a lot better. Been tempting to give it a shot. I don't eat super bad but sure as hell could do a lot better.
I've been told by smokers and drinkers and pot users that diet pop and fast food will kill me.
Just like the government, everybody wants to tell everybody else what they should be doing.
But the guys telling everybody else what to do, don't want anybody telling them what to do.
Can I like this twice? My brother is a multi DUI "drunk", luckily he hasn't killed anyone. He's sober now and give me a guilt trip for having a beer. I'm all about moderation, not like a drunk.AA. I have lost some friends over the years over AA. Damn it's great for those who it works for. The only problem I have had is so many I have known think the entire world is a drunk. I always got the impression that what it boiled down to is yes they had a problem. So their answer all too often seems to be to tell EVERYONE they have a problem too. Many times it got like being around a damn Amway sales person. I would just stop having anything to do with some of them since every time they saw me have a beer they would start in on how i needed to come to a meeting. If it works for them, fantastic, but leave me alone while I enjoy my damn beer.
