Yes, low carb in the way to go. Yet all we hear today is to follow the food pyramid and eat “healthy.” How is that working for America. Sugar is the enemy. Low fat is a scam. Counting calories is a scam.
I’ve been eating keto for 3 years.
I’ve lost 110 pounds, kept it off, my blood pressure is good, and have no problems with cholesterol.
The best benefit? You feel full!

The “food pyramid” is an invitation to an early death.
The most important foods are the fats, especially the saturated fats. The brain is almost 80% saturated fat.
Egg yolks are complex genetic material needed to construct a chicken. All of which are saturated fatty acids.
Don’t be led around by scam artists and death culture advocates.
It's hard to believe we are still having these arguments decades after the "food pyramid" was debunked as one of the most unhealthy ways to eat.
Unfortunately, many doctors and so-called nutritional experts are still locked in on the conventional wisdom that fat is bad and that carbs are "heart-healthy."
I lost over 100 pounds in 2003 after finally trying a low-carb diet. While I've fluctuated back and forth since, my health continues to be excellent and my wife scratches her head at my excellent HDL cholesterol, blood pressure and triglycerides despite having eggs and meat virtually every day.
The government experts are just plain wrong with the food pyramid. I'm sure part of it is they are lobbied by the pharmaceutical and grain industries to keep recommending a carb-heavy diet but it is causing many of us metabolical syndrome which results in diabetes, cancer and the heart disease that they promise us a carb-heavy fat-free diet will prevent.
But I think the biggest part of it is that they have been locked into the narrative and do not want to admit they were wrong. So like the global warming crowd, they will cling to their bad science to the bitter end, even if it makes millions of people unhealthy and even die sooner.
Reason I fluctuate is that I find it hard to stay off the carbs for more than a few months at a time. Eventually the beer, breads and rice creep back in. When I start hitting the apple pies and the cookies like I just did over Christmas, I know it's time to get back on the low carb. Then I drop 30 or so pounds quickly and get back to near where I was in 2003.
But over the past 15 years, I have never gotten as fat and unhealthy as I was back in 2003 when I last weighed over 300 pounds. For me, it is a proven fact that sugars and starches (carbs) are unhealthy over the long run.
