I had some blood tests recently - they found bacon.

It is a lot like Atkins. The ketogenic diet is used to treat some epileptics that don’t respond to medication.

Some of the epileptic’s are also having luck on a Modified Atkins Diet that is less restrictive than the ketogenic diet.

The keto diet works well at controlling seizures but the parents I know who have kids try it say that it is very hard to maintain. Those parents and kids are very motivated to maintain because the alternative is seizures.

U can’t imagine regular people maintaining it.

Michael Savage would say these people are stupid sheeple and will be ruining their livers. He would then list the several books he’s written on nutrition as reference.
All I know is ‘moderation in all things is best’.
I also know from personal experience that a quick weight loss is often followed by a quicker weight re-gain, as soon as you stop the unsustainable crash diet that caused it.

Dear elites: no matter what you do, you’re going to die. Give some consideration to what happens after that. (Hint: it’s not nothing.)

I’ve been doing this for the last 12 months avoiding sugar and empty carbs. It works and I get to enjoy my fat and animals protein to the max. Feeling good and have shed some surplus weight.

It is hard being on a diet that restricts what you cannot have.

Some diet benefits are negated by the stress of losing control over what you can no longer eat.

I’ve been on this diet for a year and a half. My diabetes went away and they took me off the diabetes meds. (A1C went from 7.4 to 5.4) My cholesterol went from 170 to 99. BP also went down 20 points and they cut my BP meds in half.

And I lost 40 pounds. It’s actually a very easy diet because your never hungry. The fat does that...

I shudder to think how much I would weigh if I didn’t discover low carbing many years ago. Intermittent fasting complements it very well.

As to lengthening lifespan, I don’t see how that can really happen. A low calorie diet causes your cells to reproduce less often thus slowing the rate at which your telomeres(the actual age clock attached to DNA) are used up. But I don’t see how moving your calories to fat will change aging.

Can’t see how this can work, given that there’s no money to be made for Big Pharma and little to be made by Big Doctor, and the government is against it.

Hmmm...come to think of it, how can it not work?

I lost a hundred pounds on keto. Lowered my blood pressure within 3 months of starting with zero extra excersize. I was in the predibeates range before keto and in the normal range after a few months. The only downside with the diet is not being able to eat junk food and all the extra salt consumption.

The real story here is how “silicon valley” is obsessed with “living longer” — it’s worse than that: every other issue of Wired has some ridiculous story about immortality.

Seems that if you can write code you ought to be a god.

It is the Atkins diet. Without the chemicals. If you buy Atkins protein bars or whatever they are filled with junk like aspartame. I have been doing a KetoDiet for years and even those still overweight I have lost and I am not diabetic my A1 C is dead normal according to my doctor. I love this diet because it keeps you from being hungry. And you can eat lots of bacon

I really need to invent The Next Big Thing for rich liberals to squander their money on.

They’re such herd animals.
