Exactly.
The hype over this is ridiculous. I know a guy and his wife with whom we all engaged the Atkins thing when it was popular, long before I got my health back and wrote my books.
He’s doing Keto and raving about it, oblivious that it’s no different than Atkins. He WILL plateau, and he WILL see his health go to crap...again.
Atkins/Keto is not healthful, though I will not argue that it has a therapeutic aspect if used to transition a lifestyle.
“Diet” et all are all 4-letter words in my book (literally and figuratively).
I should really finish the article about this which I began after being told that he was on Keto...
Art Buchwald said Diet was the adverb form of To Die.
A big part of the problem is that Carbohydrates are the cheapest foods. Beans, rice, potatoes and bread(not so cheap anymore).
